Mensa Boy’s family had visitors over. They won’t be the only ones doing this. However – and I’m trying to apply my instincts to this – is it now OK to play “tag” in the street with people who aren’t living with you?

There is an exhibition going on in the Czech Republic. They have a full crew of lines people and ball kids and even a small “crowd”. This could be a positive development towards the main tours getting back on court.

I’m not sure what rules were in place regarding social distancing though. I think there would need to be adjustments as a certain level of social distancing will be with us for quite a while yet.

The Strycova v Muchova match gave us a cheap lay when Muchova took the opening set 6-1. Strycova hadn’t given us too many reasons to lay the set winner but it was worth a speculative trade. She played better in the 2nd set and had quite a few break chances. She was broken in the 7th game but immediately broke back and then broke again for the set. Would I have stayed with the lay if I wasn’t using smaller stakes? Perhaps not. Muchova took the 3rd set in the champions tie break 10-6. I think it’s still called a champions tie break. It’s some wanky fad that they use in doubles.

Is it just me that quite likes the new rules in supermarkets? As long as you choose your shopping times wisely there are small queues to get in and fewer idiots around you while you do your shopping. I can’t remember the last time I had more than 1 person in front of me at the checkout too.

Some of you may remember that a few months ago I was being chased for money by copyright scammers. After about 6 months of emails they finally gave up. Well they’re back. It is a new claim. They have updated their email a little but there are enough of the same errors in it to tell me its the same lot. This time they want $1300 for using 2 images in 2017. Last time their opening figure was around $1200 for something like 8 images. Let’s see how long they keep going before they get bored this time.

It looks like Mensa Mong’s visitors have gone so it’s quiet out there now. Petra Kvitova has broken at the start of her match with Siniakova so i’ll watch a bit of that to see if its worth a lay. If not I’m off to enjoy the sun.

Stay safe.

 

It has been a quiet couple of days. I wasn’t really in the mood to do too much yesterday. I started looking for any new fads in the SEO world. The google rank of the sales site had dropped a couple of places since I changed the page a little. Focusing on it highlighted a couple of things that needed putting right.

During the morning I noticed that a couple up the street were having what looked like a water fight in front of their house. They are not that near to us so I couldn’t make out what they were saying. They are a bit of an odd couple and for a while I thought they were brother and sister. She was in the house and seemed to be spraying him with a drinks bottle. He was over reacting if it was just water.

She was trying to keep him out of the house. He forced his way in. It didn’t look like they were playing. I was wondering if I should phone the police as he was suddenly very aggressive. I needn’t have worried. They came out of the house. She had him in a headlock and was trying to headbutt him at the same time. I’m not sure she had thought that move through but she was having a decent go at it.

He was shoved on to the drive and he picked up a small bench that was next to the front door and used it like a lion tamer to push his way back inside. A few seconds later he was back in the headlock and the bench followed him onto the drive.

She was spraying towards him again. She sprayed what I now guess was bleach on the car that was in front of the house. That really doesn’t make sense as it’s her car! Maybe she was spraying something near the car. He got really angry and kicked the driver’s door. Her car now has a decent dent in the door. It went quiet for a while before she came out and drove off in HIS car. It’s like a soap opera round here.

The neighbours were quiet again despite having a BBQ. There is something not right there but I’m not complaining.

Sue was back at work this morning so I have had a “me day”. I have done most of the housework. When we moved the bedroom round a few weeks ago I found some new hair clippers that I had forgotten about. My old set is past its best so I gave the new ones a go. I have cut it a little shorter than I intended but they have done a decent job.

I have to get some shopping in before I pick Ssue up at 7:30. This rock and roll lifestyle is going to kill me.

I can’t be bothered to cook so its Chinese for supper again.

Stay safe.
