Wimbledon [sunshine]

I put out a general invitation to locals to watch the final on our big screen - now that Murray has won, I am not sure whether we will be able to fit everyone in!!

Oh YES - Andy is through. Brilliant, I am so pleased. What an achievement.

What I really like is that he is completely natural when being asked intrusive questions after the match. He does not smooze. He's a little awkward, he's private and he is very talented!

Wine and supper now.

I think I'll need a large G&T on Sunday. Good Luck Andy!

Murray through - amazing match - both would have made worthy winners. Fantastic tennis!

Wow! Federer is on fire today. It'll be his 8th final.

Oooh soop he's done it!!! Great tennis again, can't wait for the next match with Andy.

I am ensconced on my sofa, ready for this afternoons excitement! I want Roger and Andy both to win

Roger is poetry in motion. What's more, he never appears sweaty or flustered. Rafs is a sweetie. I want to mother smother him! Shame that he had to go. Living in Scotland, I do hope that Andy will lift the trophy [before too long!].

As I posted 'Good Luck England' during he Euros, I am reluctant to say this but here goes 'Good Luck Andy'. Please don't blame me if doesn't wIn.

Marvellous tennis yesterday. Roger [swoon] and Andy, who played a brilliant game. It was so exciting, I couldn't vacate my chair and log on to my favourite website

BUMP
Can't have this thread disappearing just yet......

Butter

Notso - Seems to me you've got it covered - good luck!!

How about getting them to chant " Come on Andy " as well ?

I didn't like the look of Ferrer at first, terrific player, but he was so pleasant and repectful when he was interviewed.
Some of the play between him and Murray was beautiful to watch.

I collect grandsons 4 & 6 from school on Fridays and bring them back here until after dinner. We'll be back here by about 4pm....just when Murray's semi final match will be due or just started. But I'm all prepared .....

Picnic table is set up in the lounge (opposite end to tv) with scrap books, scissors, glue, old Argos catalogues etc. That'll last about an hour or so but I have new toy helicopters as a back up. Dinner will be fresh ravioli, a 3 minute job that I can sort out between sets. Ambrosia rice for pudding, no brainer. Have made some fresh play doh as second back up. (To occupy, not eat!!!)

If all else fails, then bribery will swing into action with bags of popcorn and fizzy pop.

Any other ideas to ensure I get to see the match are welcome!

I half watched Ferrer play the other day and thought I was watching Federer [only glanced at the tv screen ]. He's rather cute, is he not, but looks better with his headband on .

Thanks!

Murray won, jeni. Can't wait for the next round now - it's getting better by the day

Who won?

Agreed, Anno -Great result!

I find I am now a Ferrer fan as well. A terrific player.

Atta boy, Andy! That was a tough match!

Confirms my opinion that they should have floodlights on the show courts independent of the roof!

It would interrupt play for about 40mins Annobel ...so they tend to leave it until it becomes necessary.

They're not closing the roof, but what if it gets too dark - will they then close the roof and put the lights on? Why not just close up now anyway?

Superb tennis! Murray and Ferrer so well matched.
