No Tennis No Cry

[JaneJeffer]

We can do this!

I have just been for a walk with the dog. Dh told it would rain at 12pm.

It started raining approximately half way around my walk, just as we reached the park. Still very warm though.

I saw a lot of butterflies .

Magi it is endless, and repetitive. And now I've got to get my lazy 13 year old to start engaging with actual online lessons as of Monday.

I'm not meant to be doing that. I'm meant to be preparing to watch tennis. At least the fact the weather has turned, means a lot of it would have been delayed anyway. Which makes me feel a bit better.

I am hoping Sue's Wimbledon programme will fill a bit of a gap.

We are going to need a new thread soon. A non-Wimbledon, Wimbedon thread.

I think you need to wait until there are no cases anywhere in the world magi before you inflict semi pornographic pictures of AC on us - don’t you think we’ve suffered enough!

It is boring and relentless. I went into town this morning as I had to drop DS2 off at work. It’s the first time I’ve been since lockdown started. It was strange. I only went in M&S because I’d ordered something but don’t think I’ll be rushing back.

I’m not even excited about being able to go to the pub from next week - it looks as if you have to book a slot, numbers are limited etc - it doesn’t seem like much fun to me.

The Wimbledon rewind (I think it should be rewound) matches look good - will definitely watch Monday’s with Roger and Rafa - back in the day when Rafa had long hair.

Yes Raahh we do seem to chat a lot even with no tennis

Yes, I am happy they have picked that final- not least because Rafa won it .. I still get very stressed watching it , though, despite knowing the result.

It's also the one with Roger in his cardigan. And that always makes me laugh.

Oh yes Roger’s cardigan - always good for a laugh . I remember watching the documentary about that match and got really nervous even though I knew the result - I hope they repeat that documentary - it was really good.

magi you clearly do have too much time on your hands if you could be arsed to search for your old post

It's cleared up here now but very windy.

I'm going to settle down to watch Andy vs Dan in a minute. Someone else will have to make me a sandwich for lunch

Hope you get table/couch service kazza

Totally agree with everyone re lockdown feelings .

At least Sue's programme might distract us. I hope she has Hacker T Dog on. He posted today that it's 11 years since he met his future wife, Susan Barker

Although I agree Fizzy, Wimbledon Rewind sounds wrong and it should be Rewound That's going to irritate me for the next two weeks.

I see the Murrays are on the front of the Radio Times this week. I have been getting it lately as DS likes going through the film guide and highlighting his selections No idea where he's got that from!! (Actually I do - his mother!)

A non-Wimbledon, Wimbedon thread.

That would be a great thread title Raahh

I will get onto it now, Spidey, our non-tennis waffling is filling up the thread!

I’ve got control of the telly (for now!), Prime is working and there is (hopefully), a good match on with Murray and Evans - happy days - I wish that someone would bring me a sandwich!

I’m glad that your DS is following in your footsteps Private . I should do that - I usually flick through the telly guide, think ooh that looks good and then promptly forget about it

new thread

ready for action...

"magi you clearly do have too much time on your hands if you could be arsed to search for your old post"

Kazza you are so right (it did only take 30 secs though). I have a cleanhouse, weed free garden & am so bored!

OMG a red admiral butterfly just landed on the court - AC would have been in his element!

magi unfortunately my house is not tidy or my garden weed free - not quite sure what I’ve been doing in lockdown

Andy Murray doesn’t seem to particularly enjoy being interviewed at the change of ends

Me with my messy house and weed full garden.

Jane

Shall I fill this thread up so we can move to the new one?

🎾

Don't forget it's just me & DH here in a modern house with a small garden. No kids to feed/educate & no 'olds' to look after. I guess we are the olds, now!!

Yes

You

Should

Aww magi

magi

Go on then Fizzy!!
