No Tennis? You can not be serious!

[JaneJeffer]

No tennis never bothered us before so why change now?

I loved swingball- got one for my dcs a few years back, and it was really hard .

I still play swingball now I love it. This other thing I had was different. Will try and Google.

Maybe I should add it to the "crap hobbies I had as a child" thread (which is a really nice and hilarious thread btw)

it's this, if anyone's interested!

I had to type in "retro" to find it

I know the thing you mean Private a ball on elastic attached to a bat. DS1 used to have a swingball we got in Aldi. I wonder where it disappeared to.

Oh I was wrong!

Look at the price of this!

Blimey! How much??!

I had this:

Don't know how I remembered the name after all those years!

40euro?! Madness.

magi jokari sounds like it would be a good game for lockdown conditions!

Love that video Jane esp Rafa

Made cupcakes with lemon icing and topped with mini eggs this afternoon. Bit of a faff just to use up some eggs

Swing ball was positively lethal if you weren't paying attention

Off to search out Andy and Kim on FB....

That bloody Wimbledon video just made me cry buckets, FFS

Which Wimbledon video Spidey?

Not sure if I’ll be able to watch it - also feeling a bit emotionally fragile today - being tired isn’t helping

Fizzy they've just posted it on FB and presume other social media as well.

It's Roger narrating a short film about Wimbledon not being on this year and why, with clips of Wimbledon moments and then clips of healthcare staff

It was really good but I wish I hadn't watched it!

kazza the cupcakes sound good!

Not sure that I can watch that today Spidey

Yes cupcakes always good kazza - especially with mini eggs

In better news we seem to have lots of Easter eggs in the house

Loved the Andy / Kim challenge. I think she's even more competitive than Andy

Feliciano tweeted that Kim had a better slice volley, because she's a leftie

Andy had also announced he's competing in the virtual Madrid Open.

Ah brilliant.

I am genuinely looking forward to the virtual Madrid Open

Andy tagged loads of players in his post. Hopefully some good responses

Me again sorry

Petch has been tweeting some funny stuff lately - I think he's been having a clear out and he's posted some old newspaper clippings/match reports etc. He's being quite funny about them

Wonders will never cease Private

I quite sad today. Next week(I think- lord knows what the date is) should have been the Monte Carlo open. I love Monte Carlo- the scenery from the courts is amazing. I was so hoping thing year Rafa would be in a better place than last year, and win it again (and in RL things were pants here, so tennis was my safety blanket). But not to be.

Tennis thread conspiracy theory (aka I'm losing the plot):

I was doing a stupid quiz thing I came across which tells you what tattoo you should get and this was one of the questions. Then I realised the site is Magiquiz 👀

I think we should all get one

Be afraid, Jane be very afraid.................................
