Tennis: waltzing into winter

[JaneJeffer]

And with a mask

Thank you Jane

On that description, Rafa is a shoo-in, no? 😀

I think so Science

Rafa is looking very smart in his sash.

I don't know what Aga is up to but she looks amazing.

It's probably a bit ott, even for Nike, that get up, Jane

Maybe it's a perfume ad. They never make any sense.

Oh, it could be.

Christmas perfume ads are weird. I think that every year. The one I hate with a passion is the Marc Jacobs 'Daisy' one- where they just go - Daisy Daisy Daisy .

WTF??

makes me quite cross.

There's a stupid one with Julia Roberts as well but I can't stand the woman anyway.

It's so windy here I nearly got blown over earlier and even DS1 who is a big strong man could hardly walk in it which was funny to watch. I'm easily entertained

The weather here is dreadful. We have been on snow watch- of course I ive under the Manchester weather sheild, so we just have rain an sleet- 3 miles up the road, my mother go proper snow . (The weather really does seem to know where the boundaries are ).
Dh is getting grumpy- football has been cancelled for weeks due to lockdown, he spent all of Sunday re-arranging fixtures for the resumption of the leagues tomorrow- and it might get thwarted by the weather !

There's snow on the mountains here and I hope it stays up there!

Poor DH Raahh I'm plagued football on the telly this week. Sick of it. I'm sure they're making up fixtures as they go along.

I'm watching a man on The Repair Shop glueing an ostrich egg back together from smithereens. He has the patience of a saint. I'd have thrown it in the bin.

I love Repair Shop- but am watching a truly awful Christmas film starring Lea Thompson .

I presume she's a famous Hallmark person?

She used to be in a lot of teen type films when I was younger -and the Back to the Future ones ? (I think).

Clearly as time went on, hallmark tv movieville beckoned. .

We’ve had snow but it’s raining now so it’s been washed away

I need to get into Christmas mode - it’s 3 weeks today

We’re getting our tree tomorrow so that might help - I think we’re the only people on our road who’ve not got their tree up (bah humbug!)

Watching the Repair Shop reminds me of lockdown part 1 - Grayson Perry is on later that also reminds me of lockdown - I’m sure there’ll be some Chris Whitty portraits in his exhibition

Yes Lea Thompson was Marty's mum in Back to the Future. It wasn't Stealing Christmas you were watching was it Raahh?! That's one of my favourites!

The weather's awful here as well - windy and with sleet/rain coming down.

We've got our Christmas tree but it's just shoved in the garden at the mo - we're one of the last without one on our road as well Fizzy! I'd better get on with it.

Loved the photos of Rafa.

Private I think it was called the Christmas Claus. The usual plot- woman makes wish on Christmas eve because her life is crap and wakes up the next day to find she never got married/had kids/ has amazing job, but it's not all it's cracked up to be and she then wants to 'go back'.

I have seen many, many variations on this theme, with lots of different people. .

Thanks Raahh - sounds like one to add to the festive viewing list! I've not been doing very well on the Christmas films so far.

But yes that's the basic gist of most of them isn't it - or something along those lines... Got to love it

Well, today I am watching- for the millionth time- 'Deck the Halls' with Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick. I should be doing something useful and can't be bothered. .

Sounds like a perfectly good activity to me Raahh

I should be doing something useful too (tree still isn't up...)

We've got a tree but it's in the garage for now. I might put it up on Monday as there's no school so DS2 can help me. I'm so sick of winter already.

The sleeping beauty

Aww, look at his big bear.

We need a new thread!

Done it!!
