dd1 thought 'Bolt' was a nickname, because he was fast that's actually very clever of her. Who needs school? Grin

Raahh · 16/07/2020 17:03

Jane I know that 'lightning' is his nickname, (and what he has just called his daughter), but it never occurred to me to think that Bolt wasn't his nameGrin

Mind you- the film, 'Bolt' (about a cartoon dog) was her favourite film when she little, maybr that's why she is confused Grin.

I can't believe he called his daughter Ligtening Confused

Sorry don't know what autocorrect is doing, aargh

I am so BORED.

It is also really raining. I want to walk the dog - but even I am not going out yet.

DD1 officially 'finished' school for the summer yesterday. It is the most bizzare feeling. It feels like 5 minutes since last summer- and they have hardly been in school this year!

It is a very strange time Raahh - the 6 week school holidays usually seem really long anyway and they’ve already been off for months!

It should have been DS1’s graduation yesterday so I’m doing a little graduation party this afternoon - was hoping to be outside but it’s a bit grey and possibly showery Hmm. I’m just about to make Spidey’s scones Smile. I’ve also ordered him a mortar board from the internet - do you think I should make a speech? Grin

magi - did you get there?

Is there any tennis news? Even all my What’s app groups are quiet - I think everyone’s bored!

JaneJeffer · 18/07/2020 11:13

Even Stan looks bored now...

Enjoy your party Fizzy. We're back down to no gatherings of more than 10 people here.

kazzaD66 · 18/07/2020 11:19

DS joined the local tennis club this week and had a session with the head coach this morning. He's going to join a small group session on Monday evenings aswell.

It's tennis news fizzy
But probably not what you meant Grin Tennis

Raahh · 18/07/2020 11:20

Fizzy so sad about your son's grauduation- you definitely need to do a speech- GrinI love that you've got him a mortar board though.

Dh wants to go shopping. After the initial few weeks- this is all we seem to do! It certainly isn't saving us much money, this 'everyone being at home' business!

I actually put petrol in my car the other day- it still had a quarter of tank ( from mid MarchShock). This will probably last me til September.

kazza love your tennis news Grin.

I have no tennis news.

Andre Agassi was an answer on 'Question of Sport' last night, is the best I can do.

I switched on QOS just as Greg Rusedski was being revealed!

There were a few tennis themed questioned, actually. Grin.

Thanks for all the tennis news Grin

In other tenuous tennis news Judy Murray is on Masterchef next week.

PrivateSpidey · 18/07/2020 12:53

Ah I hope your DS enjoys his home based graduation Fizzy! I love the mortar board idea. Hope the scones turn out well too! Have a great day.

kazza good work with the tennis club - we can hardly get on at ours as all the best times get booked up!

We might brave the shops today - DS has got some vouchers he wants to spend. Looks like rain here as well and it's really grey and muggy - ugh.

I don't have any tennis news either - apart from tickets for RG have gone on sale Shock

And I saw a video of Rafa cleaning a clay court with one of those big sweeping things Grin what are they called?! (A brush, maybe?! Grin)

kazzaD66 · 18/07/2020 15:16

At the risk of being told where to go, I'm sitting in the garden with an Aperol spritz, just about to have raspberries and meringue after a rather nice BBQ.

It's boiling here.
Although my neighbour has just revved up his lawnmower, so not as quiet as it was!

kazzaD66 · 18/07/2020 15:19

Good luck with the graduation ceremony fizzy I think a speech is definitely called for Grin
