That girl was fine but she didn't appreciate him

Happy cheap chocolate day!
I am a sadly lil llama after yesterday's tennis finals. Ben Shelton was in the Munich final and Carlos Alcaraz was in the Barcelona final - and they both lost ๐ญ Even worse they both lost to players I Do Not Like ๐
It was also the last year that David Ferrer is the Tournament Director at the Barcelona Open. I was thoroughly enjoying the Ferru spotting all week, not gonna lie.
The one very excellent tennis thing from the last week, however, is that we're getting closer to the end of Jannik Sinner's suspension. He's now allowed to practice tennis again, play on an ATP affiliated court, play with ATP players and work with his coaches. He's spent the last few weeks in the gym with Marco, his fitness trainer and... yeah, Marco's been working that boy hard. He is looking fine. Jannik's been training with Jack Draper last week - OMG so many people ship them and I do not get it but I'm glad they're happy. Me? I'm happy about the fact that him being able to work with his coaches = pictures and videos including Darren and Simone. (Mind, there was also Darren and Simone spotting in Monte Carlo the other week as well which made me all ๐ป)
This week is the Madrid Masters (and I hadn't realised Feli Lopez was the TD - between him and Ferru, especially with Juanki as Carlitos' coach) it's like a resurgence of the 00s Spanish Armada and I am here for it!)
Is it just me or is this a very ADHD coded post thus far with all the parenthesis?
Lets see... what else?
I spent most of yesterday refreshing my social media profiles (except, apparently, this one. huh. I should look at that). But I'm super pleased at how things now look at
tennisdadsaficionado,
bibliollama, (and https://www.threads.net/@bibliollama), and
tennisdads
I cooked chicken ramen yesterday and it was so fucking good. I used an Itsu broth carton and Itsu noodles but have a recipe for making my own broth next time
Li made hot cross buns yesterday and they were a little doughy (yeast didn't yeast properly) but super sticky and delicious.
I think that's about it from me, so I shall leave you with my Music Monday offering which, as ever, is my most played track of last week. I had a couple of meltdowns last week and so I comfort played a whole bunch of pop/punk, because that's still such a happy place for me.
And then, of course, leads to many many happy memories of so many gigs and tours following Good Charlotte around the UK on multiple occasions ๐งก
