Good afternoon, Elle!
It's a bit dreich here.
I have been busy today.
Saw my son and the dog.
Poor dog is still unsettled, but he was very affectionate towards me.
Hopefully he will settle down soon.

Good afternoon, Rusty!
It is fine here, but dull.
It is good that you have been to visit your son....and the dog......and see the new house!
I do hope the dog settles soon.
It is a pity he is so stressed.
I am sure that it will all work out well after a few more days.
A lot of fuss and cuddles.....and the new place will soon begin to feel like home!
How is the work coming along?
I have been out looking for family cards......but cannot find what I want, locally.
I shall have to search further afield on Monday!

Hello, Elle!
No house, just saw my son and dog.
A pity about the dog, right enough.
We have a great card shop not far off.
It only sells cards and sweets.
Cards are much cheaper than the supermarket ones.

Hi, Rusty!
We have a couple of card shops nearby....
One sells simply cards, the other is a newsagents.
I don't think I've ever bought a card from a supermarket!
I just didn't like the words in those I looked at today.......hence my going further afield on Monday.
Now, did I dream it, or did you tell me that the European Cross Country Championships were being shown on the television this weekend?
I couldn't see any sign of this in my TV guide?

Hello, Elle!
The athletics were advertised to be on Red Button, tomorrow, I think it was.

Hi, , Rusty!
Ah yes, thank you!
I have found it......9.55 am on the Red Button, tomorrow.
I have a vague recollection now that you did tell me that it was on the Red Button!
I have set the recorder on 601, just in case I am not back from my walk, and might miss the beginning.

Hello, Elle!
Well done!
Hope it is good!
The Red Button is handy to have.
Unfortunately, the Red Button text service is disappearing at the end of January.
I use it a lot, too.
Anyway, it's Saturday night so here's a clip of Mary Chapin Carpenter and some excellent musicians and a very appreciative crowd!

Hi, Rusty!
Thank you for that!
I do not know Mary Chapin Carpenter?
She is great....and the music was very toe -tapping!
Is she related to Karen and Richard?
Karen Carpenter has long been a favourite of mine......I have CDs of all her songs.
I've just let the dog out in to the garden.....
Very cold!

Good morning, Elle!
The rain has stopped. anyway.
I'm slightly surprised you did not know Mary Chapin Carpenter.
She has had a few very popular recordings over the years.
Her new release is "Our Man Walter Cronkite".
Cronkite was an American news broadcaster.
Often called "the most trusted man in America".
I am going to listen to it later.
She comes from a large family but I do not think she is related to the Carpenters.
Well, I have no plans today, but I am getting a visit from Miss L-B.
That will be good!
