Just seen the first chick fly back onto the nest and really thought the second would fly, but he didn't. Am sure he will any moment! There are three birds there just now.

elle, like me watching my grandson's drumming a week ago. very hot and uncomfortable but one must!

A Very Good morning to you, , Rusty!
We have a lovely day here, too.
But very hot already!
I was up and out with the dog especially early......
BB 's "tournament" does not begin until 12.30 pm., so we shall not need to leave here until about 11.
Time to unwind first, and do the Everyman!
I have checked, and Jamie and Victoria's match is scheduled for 4 pm.....
(You could set your recorder?)
But of course times will be subject to change, should the Men's Singles Final go on for a long time!
I am rooting for Novak...but both men fought hard (and long) to get here...so either deserves to win.
I hope the cycling at Roubaix goes well!
It is a relief to know that No 1 chick did eventually return home!



Hello, Ros!
Yes, it will definitely be hot!
But the info sent out says there is a cafe near by, selling ice cream and cold drinks!!
The only advantage I have over your situation is that I DO like tennis!
I'm assuming you are not necessarily fond of drumming?!

Haven't liked any pop music since the Beatles! So it was an hour of live "music" before it was my grandson's turn (he was last, being newest) in the boiling heat. Ah well, all done now. Hope BB does well.

Hope you enjoy BB in his tournament, Elle!
Don't overdo the "shriekin' and a-hollerin'".
And pay due respect to BB's opponents!
The ice cream and cold drinks would be surely welcome!

Enjoy your grandson's tennis competition, Elle.
I hope he does really well.
It got me wondering what happened to a teenager who stayed at our hotel when I was just 12 yrs. He asked me to join him in a game of tennis at the local courts, but dear Mother interrupted and said I was too shy and had only "knocked around" with friends anyway.
He said he could give me a few pointers and he had a spare racket.
It was not to be.
I searched yesterday and discovered he is now President of a Lawn Tennis Club in Kent.
I am so pleased he made such wonderful progress.
As for me, I just watch others in admiration

Good afternoon, Rusty!
I just arrived home in time to see Novak take the third set ......and win the Championship!
Well done him!
I am very pleased!
Now...BB.......
He won three out of his four "matches"!
And his team - the children were split into two divisions - went on to win the tournament!
Each child received a certificate for having taken part.
The runners -up also each received a badge......
And the members of the winning team each received a medal!
A good afternoon!
The organisers did a wonderful job!
How is Le Tour going?
I hope there haven't been any "spills" going over the cobbles?
If you have the time....Jamie and Victoria will playing on Centre Court very shortly...…



Thank you, Ros and Jazzgirl!
Yes, I did enjoy the children's tennis competition......as very obviously did all the young participants!
It was very well organised.

Hello Elle and Rusty!

Not the easiest of stage, is it Rusty? A lot of problems for the
riders! and if the temperature is similar to what it is here, it must be
well over 30C on the road!

Sorry I have not been in touch for a while - just been busy getting
the house ready for an English friend who is coming to stay for about
10 days. I am looking forward to his visit.

Today, I am doing very little, a) because it is far too hot, and b) because
I am keeping an eye on the cycling.

Hope your afternoon with BB playing tennis is going along fine
Elle - the main thing is that your grandchild enjoys himself, proud
in the knowledge that his family is watching him - and a win would
be nice....

View the number of cars crossing the village going mad on their
klaxon, I would say that we have just won the World Cup in
football!

Though not a great fan of the sport, I must admit I am rather proud
of my country!!!

Well done France ! A deserved win as they had some tough matches to get to the final . I saw most of the second half. . Great match

Thanks Jazzy - The Champs Elysées (and many other towns in
the country) is black with people jumping up and down and
singing!
The team is coming back to the Champs tomorrow afternoon -
I wonder if the coach will be able to move forward!!!
