Tennis: Clay Swing Continues - check your altitude

[JaneJeffer]

I always wonder how long it must take to water all the flowers around the court.

Unless they are plastic.

The flowers are in the Austrian colours!

Challenge everything!

Domi is being coached in three different languages!

Jane I would just ignore all of them

Whack it at the Tsitsipases

Aww you did great Domi. Well done Stef. Lovely chat at the net.

Well done Stef.

Great effort from Dom- he will be disappointed to lose that, so close.

Dom is looking so much better though, hopefully he will get some matches in in Rome.

Barry does not look like he sounds.

I like Laura commentating, though.

Laura is good and Barry doesn't annoy me either. They can stay

Just saw the tiebreak - phew! Looks as if Domi can take some positives from that match - from what I saw he looked almost like his old self which is good

He does look in good shape now Fizzy

Stef "is that a record?"

Stef is funny - usually unintentionally

Just seen that Judy Murray has written a novel about the steamy world of tennis - wonder if it features a suave 40 something Spanish tennis player?

I love Judy.

I am very cross that Madrid have gone down the 'night match' route- and the ADF /Rune match will be on after the Carlos/Dimitrov match (which starts at 7pm, our time). Now, Carlos could win in an hour and a half, and the second match might start at a reasonable time.

Gloomy day here. Was quite warm and sunny for a bit yesterday.

Yes I’m annoyed about the night scheduling Raahh - from a selfish point of view I want to watch both matches and that is more likely if they are on in the day/early evening

I've not had chance to see what the weather's doing here but it sounds windy! We (DH) really need to cut the grass - it’s like a jungle but it keeps raining!

I am having the same problem with the garden. Not helped by the fact the neighbours keep cutting their's, wet or not, so mine looks even worse. We get no sun at the front till really late afternoon/evening, (and we are overlooked by massive trees from the school field next door) so it never seems to dry out.

We are an end house, right in a corner, so it's not like we are the middle of a row or anything- but I really would like to be able to cut it (although dh has decided -after 15 years- the mower blades need sharpening. He doesn't even cut the grass!!).

I’m determined to keep cutting the grass as DH’s job as I do almost everything else!

Where’s Carson when I need him

Dh gets genuinely very bad hay fever- which is the only reason I do it. Otherwise I would insist he did. I hate the garden. In my ideal world, it would all be concreted over I don't mind doing it- moving the mower/bins is the worst bit. So long as someone else does that bit, I will do it.

Watching Karen/RBA. Karen is wearing the scrambled egg kit. It looks no better on him, than it does on Fritz.

'Altitude' has been mentioned a lot today.

Bit of an arguement between RBA and Karen- no sure what about (Annabel baffled too ). Not like RBA to get het up.
