Elle and Rusty

Yes 4d was clever, but I think I heard some groaning from the Malone Direction. Actually I think the clue works better if IT is information technology rather than the intended.

Hello, Elle!
A pity about the highlights, not very good at all, by BBC!
But, remember, everything is on YouTube!
Here are the highlights from Novak's match.

Yes, Serena's outfit was awful!
I only saw a few minutes of her match, too.
If, when watching the tennis, you are wondering about the "1573" signs around the courts, that is a logo of a Chinese distillery.
"Yellow warning" here for ice, too!

Hello, Jigjag!
I couldn't see anything wrong with 4d as it stood?
I thought it was a great clue!

Hi, Rusty!
Thank you for the link showing Novak's match...
I shall watch it after I have written this.
I did not think of looking on YouTube for any of the highlights?
Did you just type it in on Google?
Well, in all fairness to the BBC ,though, I guess if they had shown forty-five minutes of Roger , Novak, or Rafa playing exclusively, I would have been quite happy!
I just do not like Serena!
I am behind times with my television viewing!
The second instalment of "Cold Feet" is showing right now.....but I am recording it, because I still haven't watched last week's episode yet!
Right...now to watch Novak.....

Hello, Elle!
No, I went to YouTube and typed Djokovic v Medvedev, entered it, and looked to see when the clip was posted.
I think it said 9 hours ago, so knew that was the one I wanted.
I watched the clip and it is only highlights, nothing else, and I doubt if it is the EuroSport coverage.
There were some amazing rallies/rallys? (which?) from two superfit men!
Novak had the edge though.
I can't be doing with Serena, too.
I saw her singing on a TV show, and she rocked it!
She gave it everything, fair play to her!

Update, Rusty!
Wow! that was some match between Novak and Daniil Medvedev!
Brilliant play from both men......
It was worthy of a Final's performances?
Hats off to whomever did the editing.... that was wonderful "Highlighting".....
Not a single important point was missed....
And the Highlighting covered the entire match!
The video clip quite put the BBC's efforts to shame.
Thank you so much for finding that...
It has quite made my day!

I see there is also a clip there of Judith Keppel (from "Eggheads" ) winning her million pounds on "Who wants to be a Millionaire?".
I shall now watch that, too!

Hello, Elle!
Yes, it was a great match.
True, it would have made a great final!
The clip covered the "nitty gritty" and nothing else!
I would have thought the BBC Highlights would cover several matches, say, ten minutes each?
You can find pretty much anything on YouTube, Elle.
I saw Judith Keppel win the million on YouTube, a few weeks ago, I think.
She was very good!

Good morning, Rusty!
It is a lovely day here, the sun is shining and the sky blue.....but it is very frosty, and icy under foot.
Quite treacherous in places!
A very pleasant walk, though.
I see that Stefanos Tsitsipas has beaten Roberto Bautista Agut!
I had never before seen Judith win her million pounds!
I could answer all her questions bar "Exit, pursued by a ----- " from "A Winter's Tale".
This is a Shakespeare play that I haven't read!
(I am wondering whom I would have phoned, had it been I who was in the studio?)
She was very lucky that her friend Jilly knew the answer.....
I wonder did Judith give her a share of the winnings?!
I have a "free" day ahead...nothing pressing that I need to do......
What are you up to?

Good morning, Elle.
A cold frosty morn here!
Young Stefanos is going along nicely!
Think he "could" meet Nadal next?
Nadal is 3-1 up in the first set.
Was it a "bear" in the play, that was exiting?
That would be my guess?
Is Judith still on Eggheads?
I have been out and am home for the day.
Have an optical check-up tomorrow, though.

I haven't watched the clip, but I'm surprised Judith didn't know "bear" as I think it's the most famous stage direction ever! (the bear isn't otherwise mentined!) I believe the final questionwas about Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of my all time heros! What was Judith asked about her?
