No Tennis? You can not be serious!

[JaneJeffer]

No tennis never bothered us before so why change now?

Fizzy I think they're available for 24 hours afterwards.

In the Stan/Djok chat, Novak asked stan what his secret potion for looking young was and Stan said "You don't want to know" But then he said it was Italian wine.

Thanks Spidey

Yes - we've given him the idea

Ask Rafa 6pm live on Monday (Instagram)

I'd love to see the chats but I can't seem to access them. I thought to look at instagram stories, you clicked on the circle around their profile photo but it's not bringing up the chats. Does it not work on mobile phones? I'm really confused and a bit hacked off

Whilst I was vainly searching, I did see on Djok's instagram, him and Jelena doing a very impressive balancing act. They must both be very fit - and it probably helps that she looks about 3 stone lighter than me

Yay - who is Rafa talking to? Himself? Maybe he’ll do a cookery demonstration!

Rafa talking to himself in half a dozen languages -all in the same sentence.

Whilst cooking. No tomatoes. He doesn't like them. Or ham and cheese, apparently.

I have just had another look kazza and I can't see the Andy/Djok one there any more, I think it was at 6pm yesterday so perhaps it's now "expired"? Hopefully they'll make it available somewhere. Maybe we need advice from a teenager?!

The Djok/Stan one is still on Djok's Instagram page though - click on his photo in the top left hand corner and the chat comes up straight away.

What does Rafa put in his omelettes then Raahh? Ham and cheese are my go to ingredients and how can he not like tomatoes? Spanish ones are really nice.

I find the technology a bit difficult as well kazza - I might try and watch the Rafa one live - is 6pm Spain time the same as here or are they an hour in front now? I’ll consult my world clock - good job he’s not in Australia!

I’m hiding while the menfolk are watching Godfather! (Feeling a bit outnumbered)

Fizzy I have no idea!! maybe he was making the omelette for someone else. He seems to stick to pasta and fish.

Here you go kazza from your resident teenager

Good work Jane!

Let's ask Rafa to share his omelette recipe on Monday

Hurrah for teenagers and their technical abilities!

That could be a good question for Rafa - also do you know you’re holding the mixer the wrong way!

I've just had a look at some of the comments, and he's already been asked about cooking, and whether it's true he doesn't like cheese/tomato! Can't see many tennis questions so far

Also he says there are going to be "special guests"... I wonder who??!

Maybe Uncle Tony?

Jane in answer to your other thread - mine is ‘Wolf Hall’

Sorry can’t do links but the thread is something about ‘your vagina is named after the last tv programme you watched’!

This is what Jane gets up to when there’s no tennis!

Fizzy Mine is also Wolf Hall

Lovely day here - am going out to spray some weeds shortly. DH & I had a a go at hand weeding yesterday but the soil is clay, it's too dry & I was worried about our backs. Last thing I want in lockdown is my back playing up!

magi - I watched Wolf Hall when it was first on - it’s good isn’t it?

It’s a lovely day here as well - yesterday was a bit cold, grey and miserable. Yes be careful with your back magi.

DH reckons he’s going to cook something later - not sure what but I’m just happy that someone else is doing the cooking.

I think this is the 4th time I've watched Wolf Hall. I think it is one of the best adaptations of a book I've ever seen, along with the original Go Between & Day of the Jackal. And I love the music.

I love the music as well magi - it’s very soothing.

Is the Go Between the one with Alan Bates? I did The Go Between at school and my friend had a crush on Alan Bates (she was the one who made my Ivan Lendl dress up doll - we were very strange teenagers!)

I nicked the idea from elsewhere but it was a bit of light entertainment for a Saturday night

I think it was Saturday

Yes, it is Alan Bates.

yet another reason we need tennis back ASAP!

The last thing I watched was "Ghosts"

I love The Go Between, the book and the series. That was a great era for adaptations. The BBC Rebecca with Joanna David was also brilliant around that time (maybe a bit later).

Shall we all try and watch Rafa's chat if possible, and then we can discuss it?! It's probably the closest we're going to get to real tennis for the foreseeable.

Thanks all for the instagram advice. DS thinks I can only see stories - photos and v short videos - but not live videos because I'm accessing via Google and not the instagram app.

I loved Wolf Hall but am waiting until the third book comes out in paperback. I refuse to shell out for hardbacks, plus they weigh a tonne!

Had a lovely walk through the fields and bluebell woods to the next hamlet and saw my first lambs of the year (they seem v late this year). DH said it made my day. He's probably right, although he did say I was cruel when I said "mint sauce" to a couple of them that were looking at me over the hedge

Just put some cans of Fever Tree tonic in the fridge for later and saw a competition on the box to win 2020 FT Queens tickets.
I don't think so

mint sauce

No I think FT will have to come up with a different prize there kazza

Meanwhile the Wimbledon YouTube channel is showing Delpo v Djok 2013 semi final later. Great match that, will definitely be watching.

DS has been watching a cartoon on Netflix where you can choose the ending by pressing the red button or whatever - wish you could do that with some of these match replays
