No Tennis? You can not be serious!

[JaneJeffer]

No tennis never bothered us before so why change now?

If you’ve not got anything useful to say don’t bother

I find it useful
You may not have the same opinion

I doubt you'll be welcome wherever you go Sentimental. Have some passive aggressive flowers

Jane

SentimentalKiller have you nowt better to do??!

Just been on a walk and seen a few bears

There was also a ‘hedge of Hope’ where people had pinned up rainbows and positive messages. I was thinking of putting Judy Murray’s Glasgow sign up!

Well, I have failed to do the grass, but I have had an iffy back (that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it), so I will do it later in the week. No doubt it will rain tomorrow

French idea to host domestic clay tournament in the summer of restrictions are relaxed by then.

Maybe the dream of domestic Wimbledon (Dan v Tim - or was it AC?!) lives on?

Here's hoping they will be.

I wonder how many aprons Stan owns.

Jane he does seem to own a few.

They are more ironed than the shirts he plays in .

True!

I love an apron, I must say

Oh goodness stop posting those suggestive pictures of Stan with food and wine . Although I prefer red to rose Stan (always up for a burger though)

Just been to do a bit of shopping for my sister - the shopping lists are getting more random - she wanted mushy peas but I didn’t manage to get any! Planning a trip to the shops these days is like planning a military operation

"Planning a trip to the shops these days is like planning a military operation "

Too right! I'm going for my weekly shop tomorrow & know I have to sit down & think really hard for a bit first. I want to try to keep to once a week to minimise the risks.

Thank heavens the weather is better - imagine all that outside queueing in last winter's rain!

I only went to the small Tesco magi - it felt like a smash and grab raid although I think the smaller shops are probably more stressful than the larger ones. Good luck for tomorrow.

For some reason I seem to have less time than I normally do - how can it be nearly 2pm already?

I've got to do a shop tomorrow aswell. Our usual one, plus one for my dad. After the hassle of the last shop, nearly two weeks ago, I'm starting to get a bit stressed about it

I have found the bigger the supermarket, the easier the shop is round here. Our huge Tesco is very well ordered with staff everywhere making sure there are no more than 4 people in an aisle at once. In fact it's less frantic than busy normal times.

Good luck with the shopping all!

I’ve just heard that the BBC will be showing vintage matches during what would have been Wimbledon fortnight. It’s the 40th anniversary of Borg v Mac so hopefully they’ll show that - it’s a match that I’ve never seen.

I remember watching McEnroe and Connors play but I think Borg was even before my time!

I'd prefer the 1981 final thanks Beeb!

The Wimbledon FB channel apparently showed the Fed/Cilic match yesterday- now , I know they have a bit of a pro-Fed agenda at Wimbledon (imo), but that really is not the best match they could have chosen, Fed playing against an obviously injured opponent, in a one sided match.

I do remember my mum watching the 1980 match, she was more of a Connors fan though too.

Sorry, but I really didn't like Connors, never have, never will. Mum and I saw him play on the old No 1 Court, probably early 80's. I remember he drank cocoa cola at the changeover. None of your isotonic, individually made up drinks they have these days

Raahh it was the 2016 QF they showed on the Wimbledon channel, where Cilic went 2 sets to love up. Obviously Fed still won though Perhaps they'll show the Stakhovsky match next?!

Marin has been in some great matches at Wimbledon, he was also in a really close match w Djok (think that was a Qf as well?) that he probably could have won. The final v Fed was probably his worst match there!

Although I'm still v disappointed in that early defeat when he was seeded second, was that in 2018? He's never been the same since as we've often said (although obviously that could be because of the flossing ).

Would love to see him make a good run at Wimbledon again. One day...

Spidey it was the flossing that did him in. Pesky Carol and breakfast tv.

And being put out on a 'lesser' court - when they were letting Serena rule the roost on centre (bitter, me?)

Poor Marin- but he has a baby now, so can enjoy lockdown with his family. He is not a mother though, so he can't claim that when he comes comes back.

They never mention Stakhovsky, do they? When Rafa plays, we always get the list. But not Fed.

In fact, I wouldn't put it past some wag at Wimbledon HQ to show the Rosol match.

Or the 2014 Kyrgios match- they loved that one.

Mac said last year at Wimbledon that Connors was not a nice person or words to that effect kazza.
