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

Novak will "raise his vibration" so much he'll be on a different frequency so us plebs won't be able to see or hear him.

BGD you can share the Djok love with not so secret fan Private Grin

I've just seen a picture on FB, of Rafa making an omelette(for him and his wife- sweet).

Baby Rafas would be lovely. But I'm not sure how you manage that from 6ft apart?WinkGrin

Jane Djok the invisible man Grin

PrivateSpidey · 24/03/2020 17:54

Jane ssshhh (taps nose) Grin

Fizzy thanks for the Bake Off reminder. Looking forward to it. I'll probably have to watch on catch up though.

I want Rafa to make me an omelette! (Ham and cheese please)

I think you’re right about the older players magi - being out of competitive tennis for a while has got to have an effect on them and like you say they might see another side of life. They are all so competitive and single minded though - I bet they’re finding it pretty tough. I like the idea of baby Rafas though Smile

The sewing bee is also back soon (DH will be pleased!)

Raahh · 24/03/2020 18:59

I love Sewing Bee. It is exactly the sort of thing I want to watch right now (apart from tennis).

Fizzywinegum · 24/03/2020 19:08

I love Sewing Bee too Raahh - it said it was coming soon

kazzaD66 · 24/03/2020 19:34

Just catching up with your musings. It's been a surprisingly busy day!

Fizzy I'm all for a Dan Evans win at Wimbledon - it would mean Djok hadn't won again Grin

Raahh I'd rather be Stan, not Cock, any day of the week. One knows how to enjoy life and has a sense of humour and perspective, the other doesn't....Wink Bear

I wonder if Andy will think a possible comeback will be too delayed for him to bother about, depending on how long it takes for life (the ATP tour) to restart? Sad

Fizzywinegum · 24/03/2020 20:37

kazza I seem to have been busy doing nothing today Hmm

I was wondering that about Andy as well Sad

BGD2012 · 24/03/2020 20:38

@janeJeffer. I'm obviously in the minority regarding Djok lol, I do find him a little cringey though. I watched Djok at a bbq in last years Wimbeldon final and at the end we all started rooting for him, Fed and the crowd just seemed a bit smug and entitled. I think Rafa and Djok at their peak are both better players. I do love Rafa too. Although Pat Rafter....nice! You can tell my age xx

Fizzywinegum · 24/03/2020 21:31

BGD you are probably a similar vintage to the majority of us! I do think that Roger in his prime was an amazing player. I’ve always loved Rafa for his energy and style of play. Djok is obviously a very good player but watching him leaves me a bit cold but everyone is welcome here Smile

Spidey are you watching Bake off on catch up because you’re watching Our Girl? Grin

BGD2012 · 24/03/2020 21:36

Fizzy. Thank you I need to find a new show to watch. I've just finished This Country which is fun.

kazzaD66 · 24/03/2020 21:41

Just watched Bake Off.
I think I'm actually warming to Johanna Konta Grin

magimedi · 24/03/2020 21:56

Also watched Bake Off. Jo Konta's dog toy in her show stoppe rlooked just like a piece of dog shit - they were all too nice to say it!!

JaneJeffer · 24/03/2020 21:59

BGD I was completely neutral during the Wimbledon final so I didn't mind Djok winning and he didn't do his stupid celebration which was good. No doubt they're both amazing players.

I enjoyed GBBO but I missed the beginning and hadn't a clue who Tan was until I googled him. I preferred watching Johanna baking than playing tennis. I find her serve so irritating. I follow her dog on Instagram. He's very cute.

Nothing to do with tennis but it's hilarious

Omg Jane that is too funny Grin I loved the dad waving through the blinds!!

We had a Skype call with family last night at 8, I wasn't really watching My Girl, honest!! Looking forward to catching up with GBBO. Tan was one of the few celebs on where I actually know who he is!

BGD my view on djok is that basically, you have to admire him Grin (am also definitely in the minority here!)! Last time we saw him (v lovely David Goffin), we so wanted Goffin to win, but half way through mum and I just looked at each other and said v grudgingly, "Djokovic is so good though isn't he?" Argh!

I used to love Pat Rafter as well!

magimedi · 25/03/2020 08:00

Jane that was great. Mum reminded meof Grandma Giles.

Fizzywinegum · 25/03/2020 08:54

Jane that’s hilarious! My DMs shopping list this week was short but very specific (certain brands, Mayo only in a jar etc Hmm). I also overheard an elderly lady saying that she needed to get some black pudding from the market! (Not sure if everyone is getting the essential shopping thing!) I had to stop DS2 going out for popcorn last night!

Spidey I’ve seen on the Martin Lewis website that Chris Hemsworth (Thor) is doing free online exercise videos for the next 6 weeks - that’s got to be worth checking out!

Hope everyone is ok

PrivateSpidey · 25/03/2020 08:55

Raahh re your Q yesterday about the Olympic torch, I was just reading that it's staying in Japan.

This was in the Mail btw Hmm which click-baited me into looking at something about Wimbledon. It was saying that they could move to the Olympics slot later in the summer, but that they weren't keen. Or something.

And Jo Konta agrees with Jane we should stay hopeful!

Fizzy the mayo in a jar request made me laugh! Hope you managed to get it.

We are going to have to brave the supermarket fairly soon. I feel quite nervous about it Confused I mean, it's just the supermarket! But it feels like some kind of nerve wracking expedition Hmm I need to get a grip!
