Calling all Tour Fans

Post by doodles »

So we're off, another three blissful weeks of wall to wall TDF. Is anybody else as obsessed as we are chez doodles?

Corsica looks beautiful, have never been but would love to after seeing the scenery this morning.

Ha, just put on Facebook that I was enjoying the first of three weeks' afternoons on the sofa! My in-laws are in Corsica for it :-) Not too jealous as dh and I are going to Normandy next week for stages 10, 11 & 12 :-)

Lol, fil just texted to say they're near the finish, having a wander round the team buses and chatting to various team staff :-)

Our household are avid watchers too. The trouble is we also love tennis and the males watch F1, so there is way too much sport this weekend! I don't think much else will get done.

Getting exciting today. We are recording it from now on today as Murray is taking precedence for the afternoon. Did feel for the Team Sky rider who went off the edge of the of the road, down the embankment and into what looked like a hawthorn bush earlier this morning.

Another plus is that I am leading in the chez doodles mini league of the TDF fantasy team game :shock: :shock: DH and the boys are shocked but not as shocked as I am (but of course I'm not letting on :lol: :lol: :lol: )
