No Tennis? You can not be serious!

[JaneJeffer]

No tennis never bothered us before so why change now?

magi oh dear! Glad you're feeling better this morning!

Raahh sorry to hear about your niece's birthday, I feel so sorry for these youngsters in this situation.

Re tennis, it's gutting when you think we'd normally be looking forward to RG isn't it? Tennis has been off for 7 weeks I think, but it feels like forever

I saw Andy donated all his Madrid prize money, to the NHS and the tennis players' relief fund. Good on him.

Those photos were so cute kazza

Yes, I liked the idea behind the prize money for Madrid, that the winner chose who it went to- and that some was to go to players who were struggling. There will be a lot of players way down the pecking order who bascially pay for the privilege of turning up at tournaments every week.

My niece will be ok. Dsis has a fully fitted out bar in her garden. . (Parties are great at her house!)

My life has been reduced to getting excited when Andrew Cotter posts a new video of him commentating on his dogs on Twitter.

It’s pouring down here and freezing - not very May like!

Naughty mrmagi! Glad you are feeling better today

It’s my DS1s 21st birthday in a few weeks time - he’s not really a party person but still feel sad for him and all young people really

It’s also mine and DMs birthday soon - I’m not really bothered about mine but feel sad that I won’t be spending time with DM. The Rome Open is normally on when it’s my birthday so I usually get a Rafa birthday bonus! (Not this year though )

I’m off to check out the pictures that Andy posted - pleased that the money has gone to a good cause.

Aww poor mrmagi. Cancel the patio and build a doghouse instead

A friend has just dropped me 3 bags of flour off .

She was limited to one bag of plain and one of SR so she asked a man to go into the shop for her to get another bag of SR while she waited outside

Well done her

Some is for my DM so I’m not hogging all the flour

We asked if she had a second phone for her flour deals

Fizzy your ration book will be getting confiscated at this rate

We managed to get sone flour in our weekly shop today as well. Yay! Might make some scones tomorrow - another thing that no-one here likes, except me! Ah well - what can I do?!

Raahh I love Andrew Cotter's dog videos they're brilliant.

Speaking of dogs, this is really cute mobile.twitter.com/atptour/status/1256193423700144131?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Spidey

I quite like your strategy of only making things that you like - that’s where I’ve been going wrong!

Enjoy the scones - I made cookies yesterday.

Jane I saw that earlier. I love the way he puts his his head on the keyboard..

I am a sucker for dog videos. Dog videos and vodka. And the dog. That's lockdown sorted for me, really.

(Just need to get rid of my pesky family ).

I just went over to IG to see the tennis-watching dog, and got distracted by Wimbledon's "most sporting moments" video. Who's been chopping onions around here?!?

Also I was just reading about the tournament that's being held in Germany, the one you posted about Jane. Apparently the roof started leaking anyway the photos made it look a bit weird, with nobody around at all (the players weren't even in the photo I saw!).

Also... We are going to need a new thread soon - somehow we've nearly filled 40 pages despite there being no tennis

Well, allez, Private - think of a snazzy title & start one!!

Yes we’ve done well to fill the thread up with no tennis

The tournament in Germany was on the news yesterday Spidey - I’m not sure who was playing but they were wearing face masks and there was a robotic camera and obviously no crowd - it made me feel sad

Looking forward to the new thread

I keep thinking of the poem If

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting
and
If you can fill the unforgiving
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run
And I can't believe this was 11 years ago

Well, you've got the thread title, Jane.

Also am astounded that that was 11 years ago!

I don't know where "minute" disappeared to there! I love how Rafa says just the same.
