Hello, Elle!
Just had a stroll and am home now.
Think Adele is very popular!
Remember your gay bonnet for the Easter Parade!

Hi, Rusty!
Thank you - that was really great!
(And what a very young Bing!)
My word, I am exhausted!
The temperature has been up in the mid twenties...... and we have been playing football!
I must be mad......
I have to say, though, that we have all had a fantastic time!
Now for a sit-down....!

Hello, Elle!
Well done on your day out with the family!
Some lad Bing!
Singing perfectly while controlling a horse and buggy!
I'm impressed.
I think the whole country has a heat wave.
I was out again for another walk, then came in to watch the cycling, and I'm glad I did.
Watched the best finish to a classic that I have seen in years.
A win for Mathieu van der Poel.
Great weather in Holland, too!

Hi, Rusty!
Oh, Bing is definitely "the goods"!
I am listening to him again......
And I have to say that, although I do not like wearing hats under 'normal' circumstances, I adore the chance to sport one for a wedding, for instance!
I think I should like an Easter Bonnet parade...especially if being serenaded in a horse and carriage at the time!
I am glad that the cycling went well!
I do not know Mathieu van der Poel......I do not recall your having mentioned him before?



Hello, Pigale!
It was lovely to hear from you earlier.
I am sorry that I had to rush off at the time you posted .......
We were meeting our younger daughter and family in the park for a picnic.....and a football match!
I am glad that you are feeling somewhat better now...although do take it easy!
Yes, you will miss your visitor.

Hello, Elle!
Bing is the business!
Well, I have a hat, a brown trilby, but rarely wear it.
Not sure if me and my trilby would be suitable for the Easter Parade, and I certainly can't sing like Bing!
No, van der Poel is fairly new to me, too, Elle, but I think he was placed in the Tour of Flanders, which is a very important race.
He has come from cyclo-cross, like another up and coming future star, Wout van Aert.
Good to see the young riders come in to the sport and enliven things.

Good evening, Rusty!
I am sure you will look very smart in your trilby, Rusty, and I have a collection of (wedding) hats!
We are too late for this year's Easter Parade.......
But maybe next year?
Now BB seems to think that I may have a great career in goal?
Add that to my prowess in heel kicks....
Seriously, we have had a great Easter Day!
I am unsure what time my cousin is going to phone...she is out for the day with her family.......

Update, Rusty!
Have you seen this?
I did not know all these differences between the two birds...and found this very interesting, and informative.

I hope the link works.

Good evening, Elle!
Yes, I read about the birds earlier today.
It should be helpful to folk.
Not many men wear hats these days, but now and again I put my trilby on, as long as it is not windy!
I think everyone has had a good Easter Day by all accounts.
I watched BGT earlier, but it was pretty poor.
The only acts that I took an interest in was a woman lying on her back playing a harp.
I think it was supposed to be a comedy act.
And there was a singer on at the end who I thought not too bad.
He looked familiar, then I realised he looked like a young Ronnie Drew.
Ronnie was in the Dubliners.
But, he had a hard luck story to tell, and I am getting a bit fed up of hard luck stories on BGT.
