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)

Love this time of the year - Australian Open starts tomorrow 😀

Kopes - what do you think about the changes about to take place tomorrow in Denmark?  Much gossip about the rationale for the abdication sadly.  I was reading about the nature of the celebrations - huge fireworks in Tivoli.  Would be wonderful to be there 🎉🎊

Nics, I was reading about the flooding in Yea - hope your kin are all safe and well!

We had the most amazing thunderstorm here last night.  The thunder was cracking right above our home and the lightning was amazing.  There were even red sprites above the lightning - very unusual to see but very exciting really.   It took our power out for a while but nothing worse - except we have to correct the clocks now lol

The rain was torrential and this morning all the garden is looking so much greener!

Anyway - have an enjoyable weekend all - whatever you are up to.  We are expecting temps in the high 30s/low 40s here today 🙄

I’ve heard from nicnacs about a fall that’s resulted in a broken pelvis. She said it’s excruciating (which I can well imagine). She’s being admitted to hospital and she asked me to explain that she’ll be out of posting action for a while.

(That will include the word game threads, so hopefully we can keep them going ready for when nicnacs feels up to resuming.)

Many thanks for letting us know twyngwyn

Poor Nics - just after she moved into her new abode too 😞

Hope her pain levels have been well managed and that she will be able to soon play her games on here and/or watch a bit of tennis to relieve the boredom.

Thanks again!

For you Kopes 😁

Nics, I sure hope things are improving for you and that you might be home soon.

Look forward to seeing you back here in no time at all.

Thoroughly enjoying the tennis at the moment - that tie-breaker last night between Rybakina and Blinkova was EPIC and broke all records!

Hope you are getting to watch some of it 😁

Tennis elbow is so much better than what poor Nics is going through. 

Thank heavens the Australian Open is only on once a year - but then there is always Wimbledon and the French and US Opens!!!!

Next things will be saddle soreness from the Tour de France though hahahaha

Anyway Nics - know we re thinking of you and looking forward to seeing you back here very soon

Enjoy Australia Day folks 😊

Two nights tennis to go - it has sure been and Open of ups and downs. Great to see the youngsters coming through - makes a good future for tennis!

Hoping Nics recovery is progressing well .......

Anyway happy day friends ~~~~~~~

Welllllll thats it for another year but what a fantastic result!  We were horrified after the first two sets but watched with a sense of wonderment as he fought back to WIN!!!!

Jannick Sinner is such a delightful young man - no arrogance - and I believe he will continue to be that way with his team and his parents standing beside him.

I admit to some bias having spent a great deal of time near his home town when I was living in Italy lol

40 here today - gardener has been - tempted to cavort under the sprinklers now 

Happy day friends ~~~~~~

In the absence of our usual 'pinch and puncher' - hope you are getting much better and will soon be home Nics!

A pinch and a punch for the 1st of the month !!!

39 predicted today and 41 on Friday and Saturday 😮

No weather for gardening - a rain dance might be the go though!
