Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

it's been so hot here today Laney. but more pleasant weather is just around the corner

It used to be your state that got most of the hot weather, once upon a time

not sure what happened there

[the_great_she_elephant]

I'm sure our turn will come - in the meantime we are enjoying the respite. 

[debra9275]

we were lucky we've only had one day of 40 plus so far... the Sydneysiders are about to cop their second day of it

I don't know how the cricketers and tennis players continued on in that heat

Gosh - a whole week has passed ......

Forgot how time consuming the tennis and cricket were 

Cricket over now - not really into the ODI format .... at least until after the Australian Open.

Something to be said for being housebound at the moment - noone can criticise me for doing nothing 

Freddie - I think your knee replacement is just around the corner .... hope it all goes really well for you and you are back tripping the light fantastic soon.

I think oaks follows soon after your op Freddie - thinking of her as well.

Sandy should be soon back from her trip south too - hope that all went well for her.

Smell of smoke yesterday morning assailed our nostrils - watched with some apprehension what was going on up around Mundaring - thankfully the rain early this morning will have eased the emergency up there.  Sure hope so anyway.

~~~ hi Laney 

Yes this time next week I will have a brand spanking

new knee - oh the excitement 

Just watching Kyrgios - I get the feeling he may have finally

seen the light - I hope so he's a gifted talent.

I'm in love with young Alex what a humble loveable young

man. Mr F has instructions to organise a Hospital TV whilst i'm

in theatre - I can't miss the Tennis - Yes I think Sandy should be

back home anytime now. I should be home before Ooaks

goes in poor girl it's been a long drawn out session for her but

she's done amazingly well and has a good backstop with a

wonderful hubby.

Enjoy the Tennis Laney.

Hi Freddie 

How wonderful you will feel when you are able to resume your walking regime ....... not long now!

Good thinking arranging a good TV for your stay in hospital in advance Freddie.  I am sure Mr F will make sure your wishes are complied with.

Licorice allsorts ....... just reading the description of some of the Nike outfits ..... they are ghastly.  Rafa looked understated in comparison 

Some great tennis and some interesting results ....... not so wonderful commentators thought with their ridiculous questions.

Alex's intensity and his 'mindfulness' is amazing ....... what a lovely young man.  I suspect there is a little jealousy in the Australian camp though as I heard a derogatory comment by Kyrgios about Alex's 'bluewall' stance suggesting he knew little or nothing about thugby league.

Wonderful rain here yesterday - good tennis watching weather.  Enjoy your day 

[debra9275]

it ws so hot for the tennis playes to be playing yesterday and today will be even worse

Happy Australia Day Stringers and other Friends - able to post here or not 

Irreverent or not, here is Advance Australia Fair by the Wiggles ........

Enjoy ....... or not - as the case may be 

Have a happy day - big fireworks show in Perth tonight ..... bet I know where J will be 

Big match tonight - hope Freddie is progressing well and is able to watch it

~~~~~ Freddie and Sandy ~~~~~

Good to see you home safely Sandy

~~~~~ to Friends ~~~~~

Well that was a fantastic Australian Open ..... both the finals matches were well worth watching.  We did not mind who won the ladies final but felt a bit sorry for Simona who had played so well throughout the two weeks.

Roger ..... well he is a legend.  What am amazing sportsman and an ornament to the sport.

We now have the Davis Cup and FED Cup to look forward to ..... I am sure you are ALL delighted 

..... and then the Winter Olympics.

No wonder Freddie wanted to get her knee done and dusted before they started - might have curtailed her 'half-pipe' runs 

Magic weather here but a few fires have sprung up this afternoon - down in Albany and also closer to home ..... not ours thankfully.  Hope DFES get them under control quickly.
