No Tennis No Cry

[JaneJeffer]

We can do this!

And the tension of whether Ireland will even get through! They're doing some kind of Shine a Light programme instead so at least that's something. Johnny Logan is taking part.

I love Johnny Logan - and I watched a programme yesterday that was all about 25 years of Riverdance. 25 years! Hard to believe it started as the interval entertainment!

Dustin the Turkey though....

Mel (of Mel and Sue- cos I can't spell her surname) was on the One Show, there is a thing on tomorrow with all the 'favourite' Eurovision acts they have voted for. Awkward, since Michael Ball was the host (UKs act in 1992, when I was at uni. Think he came second. (We were good at that. Sonia did , the following year).

Don't mention Dustin. Cringe.

It is a shame. I love Eurovison. Apart from all the people who miss the point about Israel and Australia being allowed to take part.I won't miss them. They annoy me. Every year. But they are probably the same people who think that Brexit means the Uk is geographically no longer part of Europe...

sorry. Makes me ranty.

you two - I've no idea what you're talking about but it's still making me laugh

Hope everyone is ok today. I'm just making my 527th banana bread of lockdown! (Figures approx.)

Did a bit of my Paris puzzle while watching the Wimbledon channel on YouTube last night (that's how I roll these days ).

Btw the Wimbledon shop is selling 2020 towels! Collectors' items??

Yes Spidey I’m intrigued about Dustin the Turkey

Well done on the banana bread and the jigsaw - I’m still wondering whether to invest in an I Miss Tennis T-shirt from the podcast.

I made more scones - they weren’t quite as successful as the first lot

I’m going to make a mojito cake later - it’s mine and DMs birthday tomorrow so I’m making my own birthday cake!

I think it would have been the Rome Open final tomorrow?

Dh actually said I could buy a towel, bless him. My 1990 is still very much going strong.

Do not google Dustin the Turkey - he will give you nightmares. Makes Jedward look like high art .

Ah I feel very motherly towards Jedward bless them.

Mojita cake sounds lovely Fizzy

Mojito even.

I always had a bit of a soft spot for Jedward Jane

I am watching the Eurovision programme, that has the 'best of' list that has been voted for.

Total codswallop. No Lordi from Finland on the list. Travesty.

No idea who these 'super fans' who voted think they are- they know nothing.

Shocking Raahh !

There's a thread Eurovision: Come Together www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/3911131-Eurovision-Come-Together

Oh, I am on there getting cross about all the songs they've missed out.

No Johnny Logan, Jane. .

I can't believe that. Super fans my arse!

Two threads. I was confused when I didn't see you on the one I'm on

Mojito cake sounds lovely Fizzy. Does it have booze in it or is it more the flavours?

The banana bread was rubbish - all the choc chips sank to the bottom and it was a bit over baked. I think I am just sick of making it, just wasn't feeling it!!

Yes I think it would have been the Rome final this weekend. In the non-Covid parallel universe

Did anyone see Andy and Kyrgios chatting? I didn't but I might be tempted to have a look...

Yes Spidey it has a bit of white rum in it with some mint and lime - looking forward to eating it tomorrow.

It’s weird how bakes turn out ok sometimes and other times not - I always feel as if I need to be in the right mood for baking and need lots of time and no interruptions.

I didn’t see the Andy/Kyrgios chat - I might watch it if I get really bored!

Tried watching the Eurovision programme but it made my ears bleed

Just read that apparently Dick was pissed during his chat with Andy. Too much Aussie shiraz surely a contradiction in terms and he kept telling Andy he was a better player than Djok. Andy modestly responds that the results would suggest otherwise . Apparently, Dick also asked Andy when they were going to play doubles together. Andy replied along the lines of - when you (Dick) behave yourself

Jamie Murray posted on instagram a video of him driving through Wimbledon village and down Maryat Road to the All England Club. Always reminds me of getting the bus from Wimbledon station to the Championships He went past where they are building Tim's underground car park

Happy birthday Fizzy
Enjoy your cake! It sounds lovely.

kazza haha - that chat between Andy and Kyrgios sounds funny. Will try and watch later.

I haven't seen Jamie's video of Wimbledon village - I saw he posted a practice with Andy. Will have another look. Hopefully a glimpse of the car park progress!
