Oops, Rusty, our posts crossed!

Hello, Elle!
All quiet here, now!
Katie and Elinor will go well.
But the selectors have an awful dilemma as to who they choose for Tokyo.
I would suspect they may choose Trotty and Elinor, but Katie is a powerhouse too, and young Emily Nelson is in the picture, too.
I'm glad I'm not a selector!
I like watching the Remembrance Parade, too.
No, the crown and pin are intact, as far as I can make out, so may just need to be glued back in, or whatever is it they do.
I think it happened before, a few years ago.

Hi, Rusty!
So how many cyclists constitute a "team"?
How many are allowed to go to the Olympic Games?
There will be "spares" surely?
Yes, I remember your previously losing a crown that was re-fixed successfully.
But my crowns do not have "pins"... the crown is fastened to the tooth underneath ?
Time for a hot drink before bed......
And the dog needs to be persuaded out into the garden in a firework "lull".....

Hello, Elle!
Kirsten Wild won!
And GB's Katy Marchant won the Keirin event.
The track cyclists are divided into two groups.
The sprinters, and the endurance riders.
Usually three sprinters for women, four for the men, and five in the endurance groups.
There will be special rules at the Olympics but I do not know what they are.
Some of these riders will ride more than one event, but it will depend on the schedule, of who rides what.
This bit of tooth has a pin in it.
Maybe it is called something else?

Update, Elle!
Here's Katie, Elinor, and Trotty, describing their team mates!
I had a chuckle, it is accurate!

Hi, Rusty!
Thank you for the cycling results...well done, everyone!
And also for the update where the girls describe their team mates!
I found that very interesting, as I can now put faces and personalities to what were in some instances merely names!
It sounds then as though there is quite a lot of scope for selection into the Olympic team?
Now....crowns!
I found this link......

I think what you have is called a "post crown", according to the article I have enclosed.
Well, I had better make one more (final) attempt to persuade the dog outside before bed...
She won't go, because the fireworks keep going off!

Hello, Elle!
Well now you know the women endurance riders!
And goodness, Trotty can't half giggle!
I'm looking forward to seeing Katie and Elinor in the Madison tomorrow!
I am taking my car to garage on Monday and my dentist is a five minute walk from there, so with a bit of luck I may get it fixed then.
Possibly!
I'll phone them first, though.

Good morning, Rusty!
It has obviously rained here throughout the night, because the ground is very poggy!
But the sun is coming out now.....
Yes, that sounds like a good plan about your tooth.
Let's hope the dentist can fit you in tomorrow
We are leaving very shortly to go over to my daughter's....
The church service starts at 10.30 am
We should be home again around fourish.
I'll catch up with you later...…..

Good morning, Elle!
Looks cold out!
Yes, hope the dentist can fit me in, after I drop my car off at the garage.
No pain or anything, so no rush for it, though.
Hope your church service and parade goes well!

Hi, Rusty!
Finally home again!
Yes, the church parade and the following service went well!
The children in both the Scouts and Guides movements seemed to enjoy participating and the Congregation was welcoming.
It was a very tiny church!
I grew up going to a large Methodist Mission....seating capacity for about 1200 people!
Since then the churches I have attended have been somewhat smaller (!) but this one was a tiddler!
BB enjoyed the ceremony of presenting the flags once in the church.......
And the children were wrapt to see the onscreen presenting of the wreaths at the Cenotaph in Whitehall.
TV screens in churches?
Life does move on a pace!
