Good morning, Rusty!
A slightly breezy dull day at the moment, fairly mild though.
I haven't been out yet, beyond the garden, as we are going over later (mid morning) to our daughter's - a change of arrangement due to her lack of a car!
Yes, I know of Chuck Berry - sad to hear he has died.
At present, I am drinking coffee and about to do the Everyman!
How about you?

Good morning, Elle!
Fine day here.
I have no "plans".
Will just see where the day takes me.
I'll watch the golf later.
One of the golfers got a bit of a shock yesterday when he almost walked into an alligator on the course.
Boy, did he jump! Was funny!
Sensible to visit your daughter.
Maybe she will get a car soon, or her present one fixed?

Hi, Rusty!
I have finished the Everyman......and all parsed, too.
The parsing of the LOI took some time, but then the penny dropped!
My daughter is looking at cars - I think she will probably opt to buy another second -hand but newer one, rather than possibly "throw good money after bad".
Where did that expression come from?
Anyway, I must away to get ready......we are leaving in about forty minutes.
We should be home about tea-time.
Have a good day...........

Good idea Kenyatta

I just read your suggestion, kenyatta. Though it makes sense, I don't know how popular another non-crossword thread would be!

I'll get your coats.....

Norah said (page 1 ) chatty threads are still permitted , but keep them short. How long does the rugby season last?

I started with a question about the Lions tour. That runs from 3rd June to 8th July - which would make it quite a long thread!

Good afternoon, Elle!
I hope your visit is going well.
What is "LOI"? Should I know?
I will rule out "Lack Of Intelligence", d'you think?
"Letter Of Introduction"?
I do not know the origin of "throw good money after bad".
Similar to "escalation of commitment", perhaps?
A newer car is a temptation for your daughter, I think.
I went by the "new" horse's field and said "hello" but he is not up for a chat!
Laddie has made a lot of improvements to the nest!
Looks much better now.
It is a fine breezy day here!

Hi, Rusty!
We are back home again!
Still dull and a tad chilly now , with a stiff breeze......
We have been to a park near to my daughter..... a change of territory for our dog!
YB is now able to toddle along, for a short time, which is great fun for him, rather than being pushed in the buggy all the time!!
Now, LOI stands for "last one in"!
( although yes, that could be due to my 'lack of intelligence'!)
I looked up "throw good money after bad" - Brewers gives the meaning but not the origin, so we are no wiser!
I looked in on Laddie but he wasn't at home!
The nest is looking "well-mossed" though!
How is the golf going?
