No Tennis No Cry

[JaneJeffer]

We can do this!

I see Delpo has been relaxing by a log fire again

He's wearing a jumper (not quite a fisherman's one but still) and drinking wine.

V Stan-esque really

The thoughts of log fires and jumpers are bringing me out in a sweat! I wonder how his injuries are. I see our Fabio had both ankles operated on.

I'm not sure about Delpo's injury. He split with his coach recently and he said something like he was continuing his rehab and his coach was going to work with someone else (Londero I think it was). I just hope this break helps him rather than stops him returning at all.

I saw our Fabio's post about his op - that sounds pretty full on to have them both operated on at the same time

Happy Birthday to Rafa!

I hope someone makes him a cake. Maybe he will make his own

Hope he posts some photos!

He needs to do a birthday instagram chat - I doubt he has got the hang of the technology yet .

The weather has changed dramatically today, from scorching hot, to rain. I am glad I cut the grass.

Happy birthday Rafa
Probably best he stays away from the electric whisk though

Yes Raahh it was boiling hot yesterday and now it's raining and overcast. DH is delighted because two of the four waterbutts he has were completely empty and the garden is getting watered

Yay happy birthday Rafa . I bet he’s secretly pleased that he won’t be getting a huge cake at the French Open (although that’s made me sad that I should be watching RG £

It’s raining here - I must be getting old because I thought oh well the garden needs it!

Not sure where the random £ came from!

Feel free to send me random £££ anytime, Fizzy

magi

I’m even missing John Inverdale - although I’m sure if he was on the telly he would be annoying me!

Dare I ask if you are missing AC???!!!!

Not missing your pictures of him magi so don't be getting any ideas!

Rafa's cake looks interesting.

Hmm Rafa’s cake doesn’t look too appetising really

I will probably think that I’m missing AC when it’s Wimbledon time but it’s like a false memory thing

I get what they tried to do with the cake, but it looked a bit dry. He looked very happy getting it though. I did think he looked like he might drop it when I saw the video though. .

Next year he can get another big cake at RG.

It’s 80s week on the Sewing Bee - I’m enjoying the music but slightly concerned that they’re talking about the 80s as some quaint old fashioned time in the dim and distant past - surely it was only a few years ago?

My musical tastes have never really developed beyond the 80s!

Fizzy the fact Joe was born towards the end of 1988 has made feel very old .

I love the 80s music.

It's 30 years this year that I started university.

I'm in denial.

I think I’m in denial as well Raahh - seems like five minutes ago to me

It really does. I don't like it .

My musical tastes have never really developed beyond the 80s!

And mine never beyond the late 60's, early 70's.

Hendrix, Grateful Dead, The Who, ..................................

And The Stones - which is where DH & I meet with music. We often rock & roll round the kitchen to the sound of Mick......................

And Dylan, Incredible String Band, Jim Capaldi, Steve Miller Band, Fairport Convention......................

I could go on & on but am off to bed.

Bonne nuit!

Ah magi I love the idea of you and mrmagi rocking round the kitchen to the Rolling Stones

I think most people seem to stick with the music that they grew up with - I try to listen to new music but it doesn’t sound as good as the old stuff!

Hope everyone is OK.

I was just thinking that this time last year I was sipping cocktails on my sunbed in Greece, watching the French Open on my iPad - how times have changed

Fizzy that sounds amazing. Like some kind of fantasy world!!

When does this Jamie Murray tournament start, is it later this month? At least that will be something. And Djok has something set up as well, I think Thiem is also playing in that. So I am looking forward to watching those... But it's not RG is it?

Also from my monitoring of Instagram, I think Delpo is getting better looking during lockdown, how is that fair?!

It does doesn’t it Spidey

at Delpo getting better looking during lockdown! The opposite is definitely happening to me. I also seem to have started wearing trousers with elasticated waistbands which I’m sure is a bad move

I thought Rafa was looking nice as well - it’s nice to see him looking smiley and relaxed (I am biased though)

I’m not sure when the Jamie Murray tournament is starting - not sure I can get excited about Kyle and Dan but it will be nice to see some tennis.
