Hi, Rusty!
I am home again now........and this time for the remainder of the day!
I spoke to one of my friends this morning whom I had been expecting to take part in the London Half Marathon......
He chickened out and didn't run!
And I was looking forward to hearing some interesting stories!
Now I enjoyed today's crossword.......managing to complete the grid, and provide parses.
It was an appropriate level for me, even if too easy for you!
I felt pleasantly satisfied when I finished it.
Remember I am not as good at crosswords as you are!

Good evening, Elle!
The man should have ran!
Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
You do very well at the crossword puzzles.
I have been at them for years and am not going to get any better at them.
My friends in Norn Iron tell me Storm Gareth is on the way!

Hi, Rusty!
I have just - somewhat belatedly - been catching up with Saturday's "The Voice".
I do not think my musical judgement must be very good, as I often found myself choosing the opposite person to that decided by the coach!
Ah well, I guess it is an individual preference!
I haven't heard much about Storm Gareth?
We do seem to be having a lot of storms recently though, don't we?
The winds here have been very severe and a huge tree has come down in the park.....the force of it bringing a second tree down en route,
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Is it Thursday when your friends come over from Norn Iron?
Are they flying?
Or coming by ferry?

Hello, Elle!
I was watching the football and it is very heavy rain in Paisley.
Don't know if that is to do with Gareth?
My friends got a special deal on the Stena ferry.
They almost always come by sea and bring their car.

Here are the Waltons saying "Goodnight"!

Good morning, Rusty!
Wet and windy here!
I have been out with the dog, but it is quite a battle against the wind.
I had intended taking a plant to the Crematorium, but I doubt that plant and ceramic pot would last long in these gales......
I shall take it another (more gentle) day.
How is the weather with you?
I liked the Waltons all saying "Goodnight" to each other!
What a heart warming gesture!
It must have been a lovely programme.
Now, I have been trying to find out how to watch the Cycling going through Pigale's village?
I had thought that I might see it on BBC Sport Online........but cannot find any live cycling?
I am not very good at this......
Any ideas?

Good morning, Elle!
It is calm here so far, but forecast is for winds!
My son is working in Fife today, so I hope the bridge stays open!
I really liked the Waltons!
One strange thing I never worked out, was,
The couple who owned the store were Ike and Corabeth Godsey.
Corabeth always called Ike "Mr Godsey". Strange!
Look for Paris-Nice stage 3 "streams" on Google, Elle.
From Cepoy to Moulins.
It is being shown on EuroSport but not the entire stage.
The first intermediate sprint is at Pigale's village.
I doubt very much if BBC Sport would show it.

Hi, Rusty!
Still raining and boisterous winds here......I'm glad I opted not to go to the Crematorium.
I have typed that reference into Google, Rusty.......
This is the link it brought up
http://www.cyclingfans.com/paris-nice/live
I have acquired some photographs......but no live transmission?
I may of course be overlooking something obvious to others, but I cannot see any means of making this a live showing?
And still nothing on BBC Sport.....

Hello, Elle!
Forget BBC, they rarely cover cycling.
Try looking in here for live stream.

There are several other sites, too.

Or this one, Elle.

Hi, Rusty!
That is the same link that I sent you - see my previous post.

I have some video clips, but they do not appear to be today's race...one was dated 2018!

I think I shall bow out gracefully - the odds on my spotting Pigale are very slight anyway!
And I have at least attempted to find her!

Thank you anyway!
