Wimbledon men's fianals, the spectators.

I have always liked the blue and cream uniforms and think blue and white would just look naff. (In the same way that “cricket whites” are in fact cream)
You only have to look at the uniform outfits worn at the likes of Roland Garros to appreciate our linesmen/women. And if they have lumps and bumps, isn’t that real life? They are people doing a job, not fashion models!

FYI, the UK clothing industry received wisdom that the best way to see if trousers jeans etc fit without trying them on, is to put the waistband (as it is, doubled up) around your neck and, if it meets at the front without strangling you then they will fit your waist.

OOps! - missed the decimal point!

Dark trousers would look so much smarter, pale ones show all the lumps and bumps lol. And polo shirts rather than those badly fitting stripped shirts. I would think they would be much more comfortable too. And those awful belts, it all looks so scruffy.

Well done to Novak, he was battling Federer and the crowd.

I agree Day6 and I also noted that the woman's uniform seemed too tight, especially the trousers. Not in a sexy way, just ill-fitting.

The guy in royal blue top and white cap looked interesting but may not be without the cap.

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.

Luckygirl

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I’m watching Poirot until 9

Oh flip! I forgot all about The Archers.

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!

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

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

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

Great match!

Yeh-ish to Novak ??

Yeh to Fed???????

phoenix can you see straight?
