Wimbledon men's fianals, the spectators.

Depressed☹️

What time does Poldark start?

We're on our second bottle, and Mr P isn't even interested in tennis

Phoenix ??

Well done!! Good game. Sad about Fed though.

I know they both played brilliantly but still I'm sad for Roger. Thanks for the thread. Nice to have GN to share the excitement with.

phoenix can you see straight?

Yeh to Fed???????

Yeh-ish to Novak ??

Great match!

Phew, I wonder if they're glad it's over. I feel sorry for Roger, but Novak played the tie breaks so well. ???

What's for supper?
I was rooting for Roger
?

Just spotted Lilypot's comment. Not just me then.

My bum is numb after five hours! So wanted Federer to win but thought younger man would prevail in the end - we’ll done Roger, you gave him a run for his money!

Oh flip! I forgot all about The Archers.

I’m watching Poirot until 9

Anniebach Mrs F appeared to be biting her nails. I need a walk now in the fresh air. Enjoy your evening ladies.

We changed channels just in time to see England win the cricket world cup thanks to a brilliant bit of fielding preventing New Zealand from getting the third run.

Even more nail biting than the tennis.

I watched the tennis on TV and the cricket on my phone. Both down to the wire. DH cooked roast chicken and I balanced it on my knee to eat.
DH is happy that they didn't cancel Country file.

I always think that Federer's wife looks grumpy and miserable. It is a shame that he lost, but he goes home with a cool £175 million - I could live with failure if that was the reward.

We went back and forward watching cricket and tennis then the Archers on catch up. Phew.

lucky no? that’s not fair. She has a lovely face, and certainly looks strained at times as she supports her husband. I don’t think I could stand the stress.

£175m?
I think you'll find it's £1.75m

I remarked to OH as we watched the finals that the line judges/officials standing behind the players were bothering me.

Maybe it was just me and I was having an OCD moment, but... as the players have to wear white when they play at Wimbledon (rightly so, imo. I am not a fan of the garish garb worn for cricket or tennis elsewhere) WHY on earth was the uniform SO at odds with the players' whites?

They were wearing blue shirts tucked into CREAM trousers!!!!

Why not white? Their trews looked positively mucky when shown next to Roger's pristine white shorts and socks! I muttered something about bad laundry techniques to OH but he didn't seem as concerned.

I need to have a word with the organisers.
