Hi, Rusty!
Now why can't we have blue skies?
Yes, thank you, it is good to know that drying out the carpet professionally is indeed a possibility.
I shall see how we go.......
There is the carpet, and also the table, to consider.
But things are looking less daunting!
Are you going out with Miss O today?
I cannot keep up!

Hello, Elle!
My pal gets contracts to clean/dry the carpeting on vessels which are in harbour, as well as domestic work.
The pros have all the gear to get a satisfactory result.
If you open your windows that will be a good start?
I have no suggestions for the table!
But your insurers will advise on that.
Yes, Miss O is in charge of me today!

Hi, Rusty!
Did you and Miss O have a good time?
It is raining steadily here....I may decide to stay indoors for the rest of the day.
I have finished both the Everyman - an incredible number of anagrams! - and the ST Cryptic, whilst watching the Athletics' field events.
Now for testing out the bath.....!
We were told not to use it yesterday to allow the re-sealing to set firmly - but I am now going to use the shower head to wash my hair!
Well, they say "the proof of the pudding is in the eating"... or some such......
We shall see whether the "repairs" have been a success!

Hello, Ell,
Yes, we had a good time.
Been a fine day here.
How were the repairs?
No problems?

Good evening, Rusty!
No, no problems.... everything seems good!
I managed to wash my hair without inflicting any further damage.
I don't think any more ceiling is going to come down.......two lots were bad enough!
I am watching the Athletics...... my cousin will have to wait for me to phone tonight, until the Championships are over!
What have you been up to?
Have you watched much of the Athletics?
Or have you been watching the cycling instead?

Good evening, Elle!
That's good about your ceiling staying up.
Once you speak to your builder friends you should make progress with the repairs.
I am not watching athletics until eight o'clock.
Watched a bit of the cycling earlier.
Rickie Fowler is lying second in the golf and will keep an eye on him, too!
This weekend is hectic viewing!

Hi, Rusty!
I had forgotten that you had the golf to watch , too!
Good luck to Rickie Fowler.
I hadn't realised, until Gabby Logan just mentioned it, that the Athletics continues over on BBC4 until 9.30!
I shall have to miss the end......what a pity!
Ah well... family comes first...and I need to phone my cousin by 8.30.
I shall ring her after I have watched Laura race.

Hello, Elle!
Rickie is one off the lead and he has one hole to play.
Exciting stuff!
Do you not get BBC4, or am I misinterpreting your meaning?
Laura was mighty in the final!
The girl is good!
Hope your cousin is fine.
You will have plenty to tell her, anyway!

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, I do have BBC 4?
I am not sure what you thought I meant?
Yes, Laura was brilliant! but then, she always is!
I watched her race, and then I rang my cousin.
All well up there.
I am hard put to stay awake........too much riotous living!

Hello, Elle!
You said athletics was moving to BBC4 and you would miss the end.
And I'm thinking you would miss the end because you do not get BBC4.
That was my misinterpretation.
Laura was in a class of her own.
Good that your cousin is doing OK.
Rickie was joint second at the golf.
He tied with Brooks Koepka for second place, but Keith Mitchell won.
I have never heard of Keith Mitchell!
It is his first win.
