Foot freezing temperature here in the wonderful west this morning!
Good morning Friends ...... Stringers or not 
Freddie I had not read about Tomic - quietly pleased. Next is Kyrgios ..... fingers crossed 
Such a loss Kopes - not only to good investigative journalism
I failed to read between your lines on the MC thread Kopes - about listening to judges advice - and was really disappointed to see Hoda go. Ben's lamington was just awful and I had thought he would be the one waving goodbye.
Hope you have enjoyable weekends planned ........ nothing structured for us here and that suits me fine.
Ben's lamington was just awful and I had thought he would be the one waving goodbye.
I was sure Ben was going and thought Hoda's different idea was quite good but to remake the cake mix, not good.
A real nail biter tonight ...... sorry Nics - you will not be pleased with the result
It was a real 'hold your breath' finish!!!
Cold night - early one - enjoy your evening folks and stay warm
Nothing like a close game, very exciting and I'm glad the dogs got the win seeing as their unfortunate injuries. (sorry nics) 
Sorry to bring bad news lane and freddie but -
Bernard Tomic has received an incredible last-minute reprieve as he received a lucky loser entry just prior to the Wimbledon 2018 draw.
Tomic suffered a final-round qualifying defeat but received a lucky loser entry following the withdrawal of 14th seed Roberto Bautista-Agut to give Australia 10 players in the men's singles at The All England Club.
Bautista-Agut's scratching also elevated Nick Kyrgios from 16th to 15th in the seedings, with Australia's top title hope projected to run into German fourth seed Alexander Zverev in the fourth round.
I can't comment on the lamingtons 
but that was a great game to watch last night..
and the top 8 is getting interesting
Kopes I heard that about Tomic on the sports report this morning
I guess all we can hope is that he plays like a man and not a spoilt
brat. Our rooster boy's got beaten by 1 field goal in SA last night they
can be excused because they had a few good players out. Next we have
netball this afternoon swifts v gold coast I think 
I need
to fit a walkies in before the game in case they call on me as a reserve
I need to warm up 
Kopes thanks for that info - I had actually heard that in the radio later that evening and was not sure how I felt regarding his good fortune as the result of another's misfortune.
No comment regarding the match results today (except for the win by Frank's boys) - pay back for being pleased tne Eagurls lost I guess
Oh well - not a first world problem. Now for tonights Masterchef with the 'royal touch'
Wimbledon tomorrow woooohooooo - one of the benefits of being here in the wonderful west is that our time difference makes it two hours easier to watch. Preparing for a few late nights/early mornings though 
Hope you all had a happy weekend ..... it has been cold here today and we are facing a week of rain - staying indoors sounds like the go!
Glad to see they did not call on you as a reserve Freddie - a little too early to risk damage to that knee of yours.
