ALLEZ! ROLAND GARROS tennis thread (cont) as we head to the second week.[title edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

[Raahh]

I can't link , as I'm on my phone. And I now have to do BBQ things because dh has remembered he has a broken thumb

Aller! Richard!

Loving the rallies, so much to do but it can all wait till the tennis is finished. Not sure how I will cope working from home this year while Wimbledon is on, may have to work on laptop in front of tv

well, he seems fond of Koko the GorillaBet Koko is more interesting to talk to.

Congrats, Muzza. Good match from both, but a bit of an embarrassing way to lose from Raonic.

Has Ivan Lendl left before the presentation?

Omg it can never be 6/4 6/4 with Murray can it?! I always have to be put through the wringer

grrr. My internet went off. The number of times this happens, they should be paying me.

I wish Raonic had managed the win.

a WEEK to go to Wimbledon. I am not nearly as excited as usual. I hope it throws up some surprises. I'm sure once I hear the theme tune, I will feel much better.

Sad to see Zverev lost in Halle- but excellent win for Mayer, if totally unexpected.

I enjoyed that. I changed my view of Raonic after today. I like him much more particularly after his speech

Delighted that Andy won. I love watching him.

I like Milos too, he is really growing on me, with his cute little turtle smile.

I still wanted Andy to win.

turtle smile.

Eek ! I'm officially 40 today !

Hope you're all well

Happy birthday!!!

Hope you've had a lovely day!x

Thank you, lovely. I'm so shocked I started a thread in chat !

I've had a lovely day, very spoiled.

Blimey, chat?! Steady on.

I know.

I'm sort of shocked but I'm not, iykwim ?

Turning 30 was worse.

That's good, right ?

I didn't mind 30 , 40 was a bit crap mainly because it was a bit of a crap day. Christmas week birthday, and all my family went away. Dh had to work. I had an indian takeaway and lots of vodka.

I still feel 19 in my head anyway. It is always Christmas 1990

Happy Birthday!

My 30th was a nightmare. Whole family descended, and swept us out for a meal.

Except I never got any dinner.

Can't remember exactly what happened but I know eventually we all walked out.

Today has been better. Lazy day, lovely meal at home, just me, DH and the DCs.

Sipping a little drink now. Lovely.

I'm a bit behind you, I think. But the 90s were fab !

Thank you, Nishky.

My 31st was fun. I was in a postnatal ward since I gave birth to ds the day before. Not something I foresaw 12 months earlier.

Oops !

DD's birthday was last week. Because I'd had so many problems my consultant threatened me that if she hadn't come on her own, he was going to induce me on my birthday. He got short shrift.

Luckily, she came on her own, early. I had really bad backache the whole day before but didn't realise its a sign of labour. Only just got to hospital, and got a telling off !

I had 2 within a year. Not as bad as it sounds. After I lost DS2 I fell very quickly. VERY.

I'd had all mine before I was 30. Told never to do it again. Too risky.

I had dd2 a few months before I was 39. Which probably explains why I'm always knackered, and look more pregnant now than when she was born

And none of them like tennis,really.

The dog has no choice.

Happy Birthday, MrsVamos!

I'll wish you happy birthday on this thread too, MrsV!!

Glad you had a lovely day

Happy Birthday MrsV

Belated Happy Birthday, MrsV.

Are we going to have a new thread for Wimbledon?

Would be good to have a new thread for Wimbledon.

There isn't much left of this one. We'd probably finish it on the first day.
