No tennis never bothered us before so why change now? TennisGrin

Our library closed when the schools did. I'd been a few days before and I keep thinking about an old lady who was telling the librarian she'd been stuck indoors because of the bad weather and that it was so good to get out for a while Sad

I got Mac's autobiography out so I'll have some tennis content at least.

I'm the same with needing alone time.

Our library shuts tomorrow - it’s run by volunteers who looked fairly elderly. They all seemed to be a bit oblivious to everything (as did the man breathing down my neck in the Morrison’s queue Hmm)

Hope you enjoy the Mac book Jane - I thought it was quite entertaining. I got a book for my DM called The Island but it’s about a leper colony - not sure whether to give it her not!

In non tennis news I bought a stamp yesterday and Daniel Craig as James Bond from Casino Royale was on it! (Unfortunately not in his speedos!). I think the post office woman thought I was mad that I was so impressed!

That is exactly the sort of thing I do. Grin

Eurosport are showing old French Open matches at various points in the day

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2020 20:22

Thanks impossible. You are great for popping on to alert us when there's tennis we may be missing. Hope you're keeping well. I'll have to fight against the Xbox to watch though Grin

Thanks impossible !

Stan will be blocking Andy.

Raahh · 20/03/2020 20:40

(Can you do that? -Never have got the hang of twitter and I signed up when it first started). Grin

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2020 20:53

It was Instagram and you can block people. I had to block some eejit who kept messaging me and got annoyed when I didn't reply to him.

I think Stan is keeping me going at this stage.

I’m going to move in with Stan Grin

Raahh · 20/03/2020 21:07

GrinJane I love than.

Can't work Instagram either. Or rather, my dc would prefer I wasn't on it Grin

PrivateSpidey · 20/03/2020 21:07

Daniel Craig is on stamps you say Fizzy?? Grin

I have to post my mum's mother's Day card, as we were meeting up but now not. And it'll be late. Ah well. Hopefully she will get a Daniel Craig stamp out of it!

kazza that sounds a bit emotional, I hope your DS - and you - are ok.

There were only about 15 kids in DS's class today as well - when I arrived for pick up they were all playing wholesomely on the school field in the sun - I was quite emotional myself!

Our main library closed earlier in the week but our little local one was still open today, so I did a sort of supermarket sweep of random books. You can also use borrow box here (e-book borrowing), not sure if that's the same for all libraries, but it's quite good.

Also thanks impossible for the tip off about Eurosport! They'll probably be showing that Jo Konta semi final yet again!! Complete with Peloton ads Grin

PrivateSpidey · 20/03/2020 21:08

Stan has definitely got the right idea! Bear

Raahh · 20/03/2020 21:10

Anyway, I went to the shops today, because the pharmacy I go to is in a tesco, and DD1, (who is off school) was with me, we got a few bits. There is a limit of 3 things for most stuff- but this must not apply to the chocolate Freddos we got for dd2 ( we got 4 Shock).

Raahh · 20/03/2020 21:16

Spidey I saw my mum the other day, and gave her her card- more organised than usual, in fact very organised, I had actually bought 3 cards. Does this count as panic buying? Grin. Gave one to the dc to give back to me. Blush (Its' a nice card).

The first peloton ad, will be the thing that will send me over the edge.

Grin
PrivateSpidey · 20/03/2020 21:30

Grin lol at stockpiling Mother's Day cards! Great idea to choose your own card btw. I think DS made one at school, it's been a while since they've done that.

Good work with the Freddos. Love them! I have got treat stuff stashed away in various places so it doesn't all get eaten at once (by me!).

Raahh · 20/03/2020 21:33

Private oh, all I want to do is eat.
And that is not me at all.

I will be like the aged Queen Victoria, as wide as she was short (I'm only 4ft 8) by the time this over.

Fizzywinegum · 20/03/2020 21:38

I think the 007 stamps are for the 25th anniversary of Bond films - I must have got lucky getting Daniel Craig - it could have been Timothy Dalton!

I put it on my DMs card and she didn’t even notice - she is more of a Rafa fan though Grin

I’m fed up of cooking for everyone already - I’ve told them all that I’m drawing up a rota - that went down well Hmm

Wish Stan would pop round with lasagne and red wine!

PrivateSpidey · 20/03/2020 21:45

she didn’t even notice
Grin you should have kept it Fizzy - collector's item!

I've already been thinking the same about a rota or similar. I'm sure it'll be received in the same way!

Raahh haha I could be going the same way at this rate!!

Fizzywinegum · 20/03/2020 21:52

Queen Victoria Raahh Grin

I know Spidey I was going to ask her to steam it off and save it for me Grin

The meal thing is that we’re not usually all in at the same time 7 days a week but now we are so it’s a bit of a nightmare coming up with ideas for meals and then doing the cooking every night - I’ll see how it goes!
