Hello, Elle!
Still a great afternoon here.
What a change from yesterday's snow!
Had several visitors earlier but all gone now.
I can relax!
The skiing usually takes place in the morning.
I may keep an eye on the golf later.
I hope Jim Furyk plays well.
He's 5 off the lead just now, I think.
The rangers at the loch have tweeted that they have re-opened the visitors centre now that the snow has cleared from the road, and that Laddie has been bringing in more sticks for the nest!

Good evening, Rusty!
Both wind and rain now seem to have died down......
I believe we are forecast sunshine for tomorrow, but with very much colder temperatures.
But that is all right.
I am happy with cold and dry...and merely a "light breeze"!
You are lucky to have had so many visitors!
I have been speaking to both daughters on the phone, and in another hour will be talking to my cousin.
I think it is her turn to phone......not that it really matters who rings whom.
My eldest grandson has had his secondary school place confirmed, and will have an Induction day at the new school in the late Summer.
He is looking forward to "moving on".
The family might move house, too, for easier access to the school, but this is only a thought as yet...........
Good for Laddie........he is certainly getting his house in order!

Jim's doing well, Rusty!
Rahm is a player I don't take to. I love it when players of any sport can laugh when things go wrong (though I can't). Jim hit the flag on 17 (at pace) last night and it bounced out. He laughed, though possibly because he realised that it would have been 15ft past if it hadn't hit the pin!

I am very impressed with Jim, Chris.
I thought he was semi-retired!
I love the 17th.
A great hole!

An awful lot of indifferent putting going on in the last 20 minutes or so!

Goodness, Chris, Jim is in the clubhouse leading by one!
Lot of good players to finish, though!

Hi, Rusty!
I am glad that the golf is going well!
You have a fellow supporter in Chris!
The family members up north in Blackburn are all well.
They have run the gamut with the weather, though, beating us here in also having snow in places.
There have been bad floods near where my cousin's younger daughter and family live, but they have fortunately escaped any damage.
All is quiet outside here......no longer any sound of wind!

Hello, Elle!
The forecast here is good for next week, though it is quite cold tonight.
Is this your grandson's preferred school that he is going to?
Yes, Laddie is playing a storm getting the nest all ready for Lassie.
I hope she approves!

Hi, Rusty!
Oops, another crossing of posts!
We must have been struck by the same thought to communicate at the same moment!!
Yes, this is my grandson's special choice of school.
He had sat a special test for it...and had been offered a provisional place , but basically it seems to be down to the local Council whether this is honoured.
I cannot even begin to understand the complicated (peculiar) system!
However, this is now a definite award of a place - from the Council as well as the school.
So a cause for celebration!

Hello, Elle!
Yes, posts crossed!
The golf was very entertaining I thought.
Rory McIlroy won, and Jim Furyk came second.
That's good the Blackburn folks are all fine.
And they had snow, too?
And after the snow, the floods!
Things have came good for your grandson!
We do not have that system up here, but they do in Norn Iron.
My friends have been through that with their daughters.
