Morning everyone,

I don't wish to be the bringer of bad news but out Met Office has just issued a warning for thunderstorms particularly in the northern part of the country, but that might well include Paris area.

Hope it does not perturbe Tennis but I reckon in any case that the players will get extremely hot!

Here, about 120 miles south of Paris (not far from Sancerre and its nice wines!), I closed all windows around 10,30am to avoid hot air getting in the house.
seems ludicrous, but it is the only way to remain comfortable ~!

Yes ,indeed. Highlights of the fourth Diamond League on Saturday, and Sainsbury's Grand Prix at Birmingham on Sunday.
And the French Open on Saturday afternoon! What more could I ask - my two favourites sports!
I'll have to convince the dog she only needs one walk a day over the weekend! especially as we have no car at the moment!

Now if you had Eurosport, the French tennis has been on both channels for several hours and for the rest of the afternoon.
Weather looks great in Paris!

For those without Sky it's also on ITV 4 (CH 120).

Hi, Rusty!
And speaking of red buttons.....I don't know where we should go from here? We've already changed the old remote for a Universal one. As I said before, everything works except the coloured buttons. I can record and replay programmes etc no bother; the only disadvantage (to me)is that I can no longer make use of the red button to change the tennis (and with Wimbledon coming up!) I'm no use at all with these things ( as you know!) and this time my husband is at a loss too! We might have to ask our daughter to have a look - goodness, how incompetent are we?! I'm having strong feelings of inadequacy!
Anyway, how has your day been ?
Did you watch The Oaks? don't know the outcome as I've been glued to the French Open for a large part of the afternoon! Have you been watching any of the tennis? Still ongoing......I've half an eye on the match asI type this.

Isn't the Red Button only for BBC channels? They have spare capacity, so can put tennis/football/whatever on channels such as 301 and 302 (my numbers could be wrong!).
