Hello, Elle!
Good news about your dog!
Yes, take it easy after your trek.
It is warm and sunny here.
Quite a few out enjoying the good weather.
I only watched the last half hour of the cycling.
Race was won by Greg van Avermaet (he rode well).
Pete Sagan was third.
Great weather in Belgium, too.
Next week is the second of this year's cycling "monuments",
the Tour of Flanders.
One of my favourites, over the steep cobbled climbs.

Hi, Rusty!
Speaking of cobbles........
I was brought up in a cobbled street, in Bolton!
Fortunately, not many people could afford cars in those days, as the cobbles would presumably not have been good for the suspensions?
A car was indeed quite a rarity in our neighbourhood.
However, I have just now looked up similar property on Zoopla......and guess what?
The roads are still cobbled!
Now that is indeed amazing........I never expected that!
I have been very lucky today....
I have two bouquets of flowers, a box of Ferrero Rocher, and a voucher for Amazon!
So I shall now go browsing for books.........

Hello, Elle!
Still many cobbled streets about.
One thing I've always said.
Must have been back-breaking work laying cobbled streets.
Hardy men, in days gone by!
Yes, you have done well today.
I did not get anything!
How did your daughter get on at the O2 Arena?

Rusty
I have just sent a PM to Colin Stafford-Johnson asking him if he could help me find a recording of the music which they say was inspired by the sounds of the humpback whale. He mentioned a song of the ferry and I cannot find it anywhere. I hope he replies, but he has over 3,400 followers so I have to be patient.

Hello, Jazzgirl!
I hope you have success.
Are you following him on Twitter?
Possibly you may find it in the "credits" at the end of the film?
On YouTube?

Thanks rusty
I tried Youtube, with no luck. I hadn't thought of going through the credits. I will do so now .
He must be a very busy man (He is on FB) I haven't looked on Twitter

Hi, Rusty!
Your turn will come with Fathers' Day!
I have spoken to my daughter twice today, but both occasions were prior to her visit to the O2 arena!
I shall learn all about it - and which restaurant they visited - tomorrow, no doubt.
But for tonight I shall leave her be....the children will be tired and she will want to get them to bed.
And no doubt have a rest herself before work tomorrow!
And speaking of restaurants, did I tell you that we (again) won a voucher for a "romantic meal for two" in the twice annual draw at the vets?
We have done well there recently!
I shall save it for my upcoming birthday!

Hello, Jazzgirl,
I do not see him on Twitter.
I found Colm Mac Con Iomaire, though.
He was involved with the music, I think.
He describes himself as a violinist/composer/turner of tunes!
He is on Twitter.
May give you a lead?

Good evening, Elle!
Yes, your daughter will be busy in the evenings with the young ones.
Well done, you, on winning the romantic meal for two!
You seem to be well in with the vet!
Any thoughts on which book from Amazon?

hi Rusty
I have found Colm on FB too and sent him a PM . He says he normally replies within the hour. I live in hope :)
