Crack open the Pimms! It's time for the 'Non- Wimbledon' Wimbledon Tennis thread!

[Raahh]

I have had quite a bit of the Aldi Fake Pimms this week, won't be as nice when it's raining.

Oh- so that post worked! And it isn't Eggheads- it's Pointless!

Jane

I've switched off Eggheads. Just answer the fecking question. We don't need to hear five minutes of your thought process first.

Oh it's not on yet! I m not a pointless fan either but I like Richard.

oh, I do like Pointless. But most of them are repeats. It's sad when you have seen repeats of daytime quizshows and remember the answers.

I hardly ever remember the answers. Same with murder mysteries - rarely remember whodunnit. Comes in handy when watching repeats tbh.

Jane that poll my Dad always says "to take the edge off" when he puts the heating on

Well, went to the hairdressers today. My first time wearing a face mask. As soon as I put it on I felt really hot and quite claustrophobic. (Although that might be the perimenopause ) Was so glad to get out of the salon so I could take the mask off! Apart from that, it was all good

And I managed to buy one of my favourite gins whilst I was out - a local one, River Test Distillery - so an afternoon well spent

Off to watch the tennis prog now.

Masks are not great- but I feel ds who has been working 7/8 hour shifts at McDonalds wearing one. I have only worn one once so far- steamed my glasses up.

I do think they are probably necessary though.

Enjoy the gin kazza !

feel for

Heather is back in her shiny leggings.

The thing that is lackign in the Wimbledon programme, I am finding , is that they are running out of guests. I know not many will live locally, which is the issue. But I am just not bothered by the thoughts of Jo Konta.

I love Sue. She is very self deprecating.

Virginia Wade does insta better than Rafa.

and has book cases.

Aw Sue and Chrissie

Only just starting watching, so a bit behind.

Heather is so soporific. She just sends me to sleep. At least Jo is a bit more upbeat.

Virginia has sooo much hair

Chris always looked so elegant and played as if she had all the time in the world.

kazza just saw your post - good work with the haircut and gin! Sounds like a great day!

Althea Gibson. I'm glad they are showing this.

Me too Raahh

She was an incredible player.

Forgot that Virginia had a slightly odd service stance.

It's so nice to have tennis played quietly, both from the players - no bloody shrieking - and the commentators. To quote Dan......"extraordinary!"

Virginia looks pretty good for 75.

I love Chanda - she commentates on Radio 5 sometimes and she's really good.

And no reaction shots of the crowd kazza. Have noticed that while watching the old matches. I can't stand it when they do that - extreme close up of random person. Oh and here's the same person again. And here they are on their phone! Arghhh!!!
