Hi, Rusty!
I think it's great that your granddaughters are wanting to spend so much time with you!
And I know that you think so too!
You are indeed very fortunate.
Now....I am not sure that this week's particular set of singers on "The Voice" will personally appeal to you.......so if not, then maybe give it another shot next week?
I feel strongly, as you can see!
( There will never be another Bing! He is irreplaceable!)
Yes, of course I remember Evelyn.
Were you watching her singing 'afresh' or a rerun of last year's performance?

Hello, Elle!
It's my grandson and his girlfriend, too!
Yes, it is good fun going out with them.
Miss O and me tomorrow, and I have calculators to give her.
I do not mind what kind of singing it is, except when I see performers screwing up their faces to in an attempt to force notes out and it becomes shouting.
I do not like that. It is not singing.
I have Evelyn "saved" in YouTube.
I watched her and some of the Wild Atlantic Way video clips.
And "How to cure a sagging door"!
That is my Saturday night entertainment.

Hi, Rusty!
Well, that is even better if your grandson and his girl friend are going along, too, next weekend!
And I am sure that Miss O will be delighted with the calculators, tomorrow, and especially about the fact that you very thoughtfully bought them for her.
Now...my friend in Calgary sent me this clip.

I hope this works......
I was fascinated...just imagine what one could do with some spare space in one's fridge?!!

Hello, Elle!
Yes, I like being with the young ones, and I'll see what Miss O makes of the calculators tomorrow, whenever she stops giggling!
I know my granddaughter!
A good clip about the bats.
Wonder why they were put in bags?
I have not seen a bat in a long time.
Lots of hedgehogs around here, though.

Good morning, Rusty!
A dull and miserable, but very mild, morning here.
A reasonably quiet day ahead.
BB is having a football birthday party today for his school friends (strangely, despite my prowess at heel kicks, I wasn't invited to this!)
Seriously though, his birthday is next Friday and we are having a family outing next Sunday to celebrate .
He will be seven!
You are off to the Pine Cone, aren't you....what time is Miss O coming to collect you?

Elle, I don't know if you do the Sunday Times cryptic crossword, but I saw a clue today that made me instantly think of you...

17 A. Feeling cold in one's
hands (4)

PS I don't need the answer!

Goodness, I hope your instantly thinking of me is not a character assassination, Malone?
I do not consider myself to be "lacking courage, spirit, or energy"!

But, yes, it is a word that I like ...we used it a lot up North...

Yes, I do the Sunday Times Cryptic, but don't have the puzzle as yet….but at least, I am now one clue up!

Sorry, Elle, I thought the word just meant 'cold' physically! I remember seeing you using it once, but I don't remember the context.

Good morning, Elle.
It's a lovely day here and no frost.
Up to now (and that could change) I am going out at 11.
I just watched, using fast forward, The Greatest Dancer.
I liked two dance acts.
I can not see what Jordan and Alesha bring to the show, or the dance captains.
And they all had on the same clothes as last week.
Filmed on the same day?
I'll record it again next week, just to see the acts.
Not interested in the rest of the show.
May try The Voice later, when the skiing finishes.


Hello, Malone!
I like your clue!

Thanks, Rusty. I know you don't do the Sunday puzzles. I'd have been disappointed if you hadn't been able to solve that clue!
