Hi, Rusty!
Mystery solved!
It appeared that Bill did both!
This is copied and pasted from Wikipedia:

"He has moved around the UK and lived in Virginia Water (Surrey), Purewell (Dorset), Burton (Dorset), Kirkby Malham (North Yorkshire, in the 1980s and '90s), and the Old Rectory in Wramplingham, Norfolk (2003–2013).[11] He currently lives in rural Hampshire and maintains a small flat in South Kensington, London.[9] From 1995 to 2003 he lived in Hanover, New Hampshire."

Of course, my book cover is old.....(and so the info is out-of -date)

It is still fine here.....
I am wondering whether the tennis is back?
I have been chatting to my daughter (on her way home from work) for the past hour...so haven't checked. the weather situation in West Ken!
I shall go look........

Good evening, Elle!
Yes, that's the same info I found in Wiki. (however old it is!)
I did not know that he once lived in Dorset. Twice, in fact.
I knew Virginia Water (where he met Cynthia, his wife), Yorkshire, and Norfolk.
There is tennis on Red Button.
I am going to watch a bit of the women's football.
Scotland v Argentina.
Fingers crossed!

Hi, Rusty!
I managed a somewhat brief, rather late, walk with the dog, fully expecting to be rained upon...... but we still have a pleasant evening!
The tennis at Queens, though, did not fair so well.
Their schedule is well behind now..
Let us hope for a fine day for them tomorrow.
I did not see the rest of the match after the earlier rain, ...but Dan Evans lost to Stan Wawrinka.
How is the Women's football going?

Hello, Elle!
We have a good weather forecast up here!
Yes, hope they can play at Queen's.
Football is going fine, so far.
Scotland one up against Argentina.
I think England are ahead, too.

Hi, Rusty!
At last we have some rain......ah well, it brings us into line with the rest of London!
I meant to ask you about today's crossword......
I thought it a reasonable one today?
My favourite clues are: 1a : sabot; 15a: cotton wool; and 12d: "Never say die".
There is just one that I cannot do.....
27a: During many deliveries, Dr. West stripped off outer garb (9)
O?E?D?E?S
What am I not seeing here, please?

Hello, Elle!
Yes it was a fine puzzle today!
27. Deliveries in cricket, make up "overs"
add "Dr" and W)"es"(t (stripped).
Gives "overdress".

Hi, Rusty!
Ah...….
Yes, I see it....
But would never have got there unaided.
Thank you.
Back to another chapter of "Bill".....and then bed......

Hi, Rusty!
I have just been reading Bill B's description of "immobile queueing" in Paris.
It put me in mind of when we were once queueing in a bank in Khartoum......
We had stood three quarters way down this "immobile queue", for well over an hour ...... whilst officious- looking people would come in through the bank doors, go straight to the front of the queue, shake hands over the counter with the official on the other side, speak words of Arabic to him , and successfully transact their business......and duly depart.....
After standing still in the endless queue watching this for a while, I decided to emulate it....
Dragging my reluctant husband with me, I marched up to the front of the queue , leaned over the counter, offered my hand to the bank clerk (or whomever he was) muttered the same words of Arabic that I had heard the business men say ( I think I was saying hello, how are you?) and stated my business (this last in English)
Well, it worked!
We were out of there in no time!
Obsequiously shown to the door by a smiling bank official, who shook our hands again!
Bill B would be proud of me!

Good morning, Elle!
Fine day here!
I have no immediate plans for today.
That's an interesting tale about your time in Khartoum!
I believe in America they don't queue, they "stand in line".
just had a look at the chicks, they are very big now.

Good morning, Rusty!
A bright sunny day here, too; a tad cooler than of late.
I had a very breezy invigorating walk!
Yes, we had some interesting "adventures" whilst we were n Africa, back in the late 1970s.
We were invited to a ceremonial dinner, whilst in Khartoum, to meet the Pope , but couldn't accept, as we were leaving the day before the Pope arrived!
The flights to where we were going were very infrequent, and we had already waited four days for a connection......so didn't want to hang around in the city any longer.
I have a delivery coming today......I am just waiting on receiving my hour time slot.
I hope the parcel arrives this morning .
