Depending on the day of the week, keeping up with Andy at work presents a different challenge. I sit next to people doing a job share, and one of them is more fun, and more sensitive to my needs to check live-scores on my phone at a regular basis. The other one likes to have long-winded conversations about dull stuff, not always work-related, and rarely interesting enough to hold my attention to stop me from wanting to check live-scores.
Depending on how things are going, I need to go and make regular cups of tea and go to the toilet even more often than those cups of tea would normally dictate!
I suppose I'm luckier than others sparkle as i work as a cook & I am in the kitchen on my own, so no one else there to annoy or disturb my live score checking, unless of course its breakfast or lunch break times when I am rushed off my feet, though it has been known for me to adjust my menu on Andy's match days so I have more time for checking & less time for cooking lol. |

Or bread and water that's enough to keep them going.

Conveniently got a week off this week as we finished our exams the week before. Certainly helps with reporting duties.
Second week is more of a pain. We were streaming the Murray/Djokovic match during lessons last year. Made the defeat more bearable though I guess, not having to go through the agony of it all.

I know I'm paranoid. But am I paranoid enough?

All that commuting to work what a drag. Whilst all us oldies are tucked up in bed. Hate the winter and do not raise the cover from over my head until 9.30am. Mind when I worked I used to walk to work I was a carer and had my first client at 7am. I walked everywhere so I got plenty of exercise. |

Wait, you're not one of those four lads often shown at Andy's matches in those vest tops are you?
of course he is tmh - I think you joined us last year didn't you Shane or was it the year before? It was great when you did. We're all looking forward to seeing you in action again. |

Mind when I worked I used to walk to work I was a carer and had my first client at 7am. I walked everywhere so I got plenty of exercise. Until three years ago, so did I, all over Dartmoor 'til thinning disks in my spine made it painful - it doesn't hurt to sit and watch tennis though! Retirement means time too and I'm really looking forward to the next 2 weeks. I get up and watch Andy live - usually - my husband won't interrupt sleep no matter what. Good Luck Andy! |

Thanks for posting GC. Just watched it through again - what an amazing match and what amazing players! I really hope they both remain injury free and we can watch their rivalry for another 5 years at least. |
