Tennis: Enjoying the last throes of the grass court season

[kazzaD66]

We scored.

Dh scared the dog.

Didn’t expect a goal that soon! Prince George looked very pleased.

He did, bless him.

I haven't watched any football- I saw the little car with the ball for the first time, and was more interested in that.

And Kate's earrings .

Disappointed she didn't wear big tennis balls to Wimbledon, now. .

I liked the little car as well Raahh - after that I lost interest!

Fizzy it's quite funny- Dh is trying to engage dd2 in whole thing- she is ignoring him.

(She is pretending to be interested to justify going in school late. No-one in her class will be in, so I am not taking her til 10. At least I don't have to get up too early).

The Italians need Father Romeo Sensini there.

I saw Tom Cruise. He's having a proper holiday.

It's a 2-1 deal, Jane Wimbledon and Wembley, and a night in a Premier Inn.

I liked Kates dress at Wimbledon.

Do you think Kate and Tom cruise shared a taxi?

Tom probably ran there.

Standrews it would make sense that, wouldn't it? .
They really have had a busy weekend, all these celebs.

I'm exhausted, just from watching from my sofa.

Jane true- and scaled the walls when he got there.

Tom Cruise is at the football? He’s definitely milking this weekend!

It's the morning after ther the day before and I don't mean the football

DD2 is going in late- mainly because, going off the message we got from school yesterday, everyone is. She had a bad night, so it actualy works out quite well.

Might watch a bit of Hamburg later.
I always feel a bit of a slump after slams, but I hate Wimbledon the most because of the timing of it- Australia is the beginning- and I know there are things coming up, and the whole clay season, with RG at the end- then Wimbleodon after that. But I hate the end of the school year- this year in particular feels a bit 'unfinished' with everything that has gone on, I don't feel ready for September! Or applying for secondary for DD2...

But....Washington- and Rafa (yay!)- and the Olympics - and before we know it, it will be the US Open.

I’m feeling a bit lost today as well Raahh. The weathers gloomy and we’re all stuck in the house and no Wimbledon!

Just watched the last bit of Today at Wimbledon which always makes me feel a bit melancholy

Yes it’s not long until the Olympics although that will be strange with no fans - I don’t think Djok has decided if he’s playing yet although an Olympic gold medal is one of the few things he hasn’t achieved

Looking forward to seeing Rafa in Washington hopefully rested and refreshed and ready to take on Djok in the USOpen - it will be here before we know it!

Oh the weather is awful- and dd2 was not impressed because it is sports week at school . They can't have sports day with other classes covid so are doing mini events in the classes. Or not, due to the rain. She has got forest school today though- which will happen- rain or not .

I hope Djok skips Tokyo. And preferably the rest of the year. I just can't face seeing his face again. .

And I saw the sign properly that the girl he gave the racquet to was holding- it was an acrostic of 'Novak'- with the K standing for 'kissable'. - not envy.

I really need to do something useful in the house.

You know I won't though, right?

Kissable - yuk!

I really haven’t got an excuse not to do stuff in the house but I’ve not actually done anything yet

I have sorted out some bits in DD2s room- but beyond that, I have done very little.

I do stink of loo cleaner, having split half a bottle in the bathroom (someone left the lid off).

I have made (and re-warmed) the same cup of coffee about 3 times.

Sounds quite productive Raahh

I'm doing some cleaning and I'm now at the 'I regret I pulled a load of stuff out' stage and watching Classic Emmerdale instead.

I made DS clear out his wardrobe earlier. He found some base layers he thought he'd lost, plus an unopened pack of 3 school shirts, which are now too small They can go to the secondhand uniform shop at school, along with some other old uniform, all of which needs his name tags unpicking!!

Still, at least his wardrobe is a lot clearer now. I made him hoover it before he put stuff back in

I do love a good clear out (once it's done!)
It's very satisfying

Oh, I do love finding the 'I knew I bought a packet of shirts 2 years ago' pack of shirts, that now don't fit anyone .

Somewhere in the house, is a pack of 3 pairs of over knee socks I got for dd1- that I got at the beginning of last summer- and they just vanished. They were like hens teeth in the shops, so I ordered more online- but the original ones have never turned up again.

It feels like yesterday I was was putting tags on uniform in August. Then 2 months later, none of dd2's was any good- because nothing fit over her stoma bag !

This year has gone way too quickly.

Today must be clearing out wardrobes day I’ve had a half hearted attempt at mine but given up now to sit on the settee - I nearly fell asleep!

I definitely don’t miss the school uniform days although I used to be a bit of a slattern and just write their names on the labels in felt tip

Fizzy most of dd's labels are written on in pen- apart from the few that are ironed on (because I got a pack from an MN panel thing I did).
