Hi, Rusty!
That is rather a shame that you cannot place a bet with Paddy P for "The Run for the Roses"...it would spice things up!
Do you know that eating mackerel is very good for you?
Oily fish help against cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer , dementia and age related losses of vision.
It contains a lot of omega- 3 fatty acids, which is good for us.
I like smoked mackerel the best.
It is nearly time for BGT....
I shall try to watch tonight as tomorrow might be busy.
I have set the recorder though, just as a precaution!
(I might go to sleep......or someone might telephone!)

Hello, Elle!
Not to worry about my bet!
I have read that oily fish is good for me.
And lentils.
I rarely eat meat, except for a bacon roll.
Think my diet is reasonably good.
Hope BGT is good.
I'll watch it in the morning.

Hi, Rusty!
Well...I thought that, overall, BGT was a good show this week!
There were a few bad acts quickly buzzed off...but some excellent talent, too!
A wide range of diversities!
I have made a note of my favourites.
But I shall say no more until you have watched it for yourself tomorrow!
I do not want to spoil it for you.
I am now going to make a coffee and settle down for a read......
I am rereading a PD James that I have unearthed .... this is so very old a copy that I cannot even remember the plot!

Good morning, Elle!
Seems a nice morning outside!
I shall look in on BGT later.
Hope it is entertaining!
Well, my horse Mendelssohn did not get a sniff at the roses in Kentucky.
He came last!

A Very Good morning to you, Rusty!
It is glorious out - warm and sunny.
A pity to come home........but we shall go out again this afternoon.
Have you watched BGT? What did you think?
I thought the Illusionists from Korea were good - and unusual if looking for something different.
(I find it incredible that anyone could get dressed/ changed so quickly!)
I also thought the exam invigilator- cum- comedian was quite funny.
There was a lot of response from the judges and the audience for Donchez......he even had Ant and Dec, and then the judges, joining him on stage.
David pressed the Golden buzzer!
I suppose it ranked as a successful act, as it got a lot of response?
But it left me cold....and I couldn't see it working a second time?
"The D-Day Darlings" were good....
And Andrew Lee the magician was very clever and entertaining.
But for me, the last act...Aleksander, the 23 year old the singer from Stevenage - was my favourite.
Alesha said he was "charming, seductive and alluring"!
He also sang very well!

Good morning, Elle!
Lovely day here and warm.
I was disappointed in BGT.
Too many so-so acts on it.
Best by far, for me, were Ellie and Jeki from Korea.
Goodness knows how they change so quickly!
Very slick and entertaining, I thought.

Hi,Rrusty!
Now for once, I thought BGT offered a reasonable variety of acts.
If not brilliant, a good average were bearable.
I am usually very impatient with the bad acts, but they were buzzed off very speedily yesterday, so my tolerance was not too severely tested!
Yes, Ellie and Jeki were great!
I did not really expect you to like the (young male) singer, but I think he would definitely appeal to the female viewers!
I have to agree with Alesha!
I have finished the Everyman crossword.
I thought it a good puzzle!
I had some initial difficulty deciding on the definition for one clue, which hindered my parsing.......but it is all sorted now.
A clever clue!
Are you meeting the girls today?

Hello, Elle!
Up to now, of the singing acts, I liked Father Ray, and Jack and Dad.
Last night I thought Ellie and Jeki were way ahead of the rest.
I was hoping to see a dog act, or a choir, so a bit disappointed there.
No, no girls today.
No idea what they are up to.
Lovely day for an ice cream!

Hi, Rusty!
An ice cream sounds a great idea!
We have some Mackies (Scottish!) ice-cream in the freezer.
I only like the vanilla flavour.
I am thinking banana and ice cream might be nice for lunch........
I saw your answer of "butty" on another thread.......
I always though a "butty/ buttie" was a sandwich!
As in "bacon butty"......
Do you have any coverage of the first Diamond League (in Doha) on EuroSport?
BBC2 is only offering an hour at 6 pm.

Hello, Elle!
Mackie's is very good ice cream!
A butty is a sandwich, and also a friend or partner.
See Bradford's.

I have a football match on, then I will watch the Giro or the Tour de Yorkshire.
