Hello, Elle!
Maybe "heart" is a term of endearment wherever the setter hales from.
And it passed Mr Rogan's scrutiny, so however it actually parses, it must be fine, I think.

Hi, Rusty!
We have crossed a second time, Rusty!
I shall abandon "heart" and "love" to the big black sin bin in the sky.......
I have no idea of the reasoning behind this!
I am away to organise dinner......
Have a good time with your son.


Hello, Pigale!
Sorry......no, the dog had appeared to be fine.
We were just going to the vets for her routine check......and the expressing of her anal glands.
Anyway, back again in a week, and hopefully, the inflammation will
have subsided by then.

Hello, Elle!
You give in to easily!
Have a look at this, under "verb"?

Is that any help?
I have not heard of "heart" used like this.

Hi, Rusty
!I am dumbfounded!
No, I, too, have never heard of "heart" used as a verb like that....
"I totally 'heart' this song"!
If this be so, then one could interchange the word "love" for "heart" - which would the clue seem totally valid?
I don't feel comfortable about it though.... but I guess we have to accept it.
Well done on your research.
So how was your evening with your son?
I hope you have had a good chat?

Hello, Elle!
I agree with you.
I am not just quite comfortable with it, too.
But, that dictionary definition makes the clue work.
I do not suppose we were the only folks who had not came over that meaning before!
Had a grand time with my son.
We had the golf on.
Great weather in Florida!

Hi, Rusty!
At least Florida is getting good weather!
I have just been reading that, here in the UK, we are to have eight inches of snow and -5C winds from tomorrow, as the " Mini-beast from the East" arrives!
I am unsure where exactly this is to strike, as our local weather forecast is only predicting rain for tomorrow.......although the temperature is to drop severely by Saturday.
At least I haven't yet put my snow boots away!
I hope it won't be heading your way?

It has been very windy here all day, and now we have rain, too.
It is pretty wild outside.
The ASDA girls have their own name for the "Beast from the East",
"Hysteria from Siberia"!
Last day at Cheltenham tomorrow!
All good things must end!

Good Morning Rusty and Elle,

Why do I get a night picture from the Loch at 8.30am your time?

Oh, now it's a black screen with the 'danger' triangle sign!
If I refresh, it goes back to night!

Not good!

Good morning, Pigale!
I have the same!
I emailed them yesterday about this, and lack of sound, and no picture from the squirrelcam.
But, no reply, so far....
They appear to lack competency although they talk a good game!
Weather is very stormy here.
I have been out, and am home for the day, now!
How is your weather, Pigale?
