Good morning, Rusty!
I awoke to a beautiful sunny day...and since then it has been raining heavily, intermittently..... cats, dogs and pink elephants!
It was a cagoule and wellies walk!
It is a good job that the European Team Championships are coming from Poland...at least the weather may be better there.
I am looking forward to watching the Athletics later.
My daughter is only driving back home this afternoon.
I don't know whether or not she has had chance to check the locality of the holiday homes......
I expect we shall catch up tomorrow, so I may know more then.
Do you have any plans for today?

Hello, Elle!
It is a fine breezy day here....so far!
No plans today.
I was busyish this morning.
Did not buy a paper, which is most unusual for me!
I had one or two wee jobs about the house to do.
Now I'm doing my puzzle on-line.
I much prefer paper!

Hi, Rusty!
It has brightened up at the moment and the sun is trying to shine.
Yes, I, too, much prefer doing a crossword with pencil and paper.
Mind you, I rarely have an alternative (unless I am doing an online Guardian puzzle ) as John sends me daily Times screen shots, which I then need to print out.
I have finished today's puzzle, in that I have a completed grid...but still have a number of clues to parse more fully.
I had a text from my daughter earlier.......she should be on her home now......
Athletics to watch at 2.30!

Hello, Elle!
Lovely day here now.
A paper puzzle is much better.
I used to copy one or two when I had a printer.
Just do The Times now.
The forum is quiet today.
Only nine threads have been visited by three o'clock.
Not very good!

Other forum is very busy where I help out (different username) 32 new queries today.

Hello, Cerasus,
One of the AB stalwarts said a couple of weeks ago that they are getting less crossword queries now.
Though, they do get much more than this forum does.

Hello Rusty
Yes, there have also been several new sites where full answers have been given to a lot of the more popular crosswords - a sad state of affairs

Hello, Cerasus,
I did not know that.
I do look in on AB but rarely to the crossword section.
Some good solvers over there!

L-I K ;)

Yes, Cerasus, he has over 80,000 answers!
