Hi, Rusty!
It is a lovely day here, too, now!
Who would have thought it after the miserable start?
I have been out but briefly this afternoon with the dog, having had a lot to do here at home.......but dog and I both need some exercise if we are to keep fit!
I walk......she runs!
She must cover at least twice the distance that I do......and I do several miles in a day.
My younger daughter has just phoned ...she is working from home today, so rang in a self-designated coffee break, rather than on her way home from the office.
This week has seemed odd....... I thought Thursday felt like Monday .......very confusing with these "holidays" in the middle of the week.
It will be good to see your grandson.

Hello, Elle!
I get mixed up with the days, too!
Yes, my grandson will be here soon.
Just watched the first episode of "Wild Atlantic Way" and it was very good.
Anne Lundon presents it, and she is travelling North.
Was Cork and Kerry in the first episode.
Great to see her conversing in Scots Gaelic and the Irish folk speaking Irish!
And she is a weather presenter, too!

Good evening, Rusty!
Thank you for the article.
I am glad that you are enjoying the "Wild Atlantic Way"!
I wish I were able to watch it.
My daughter and husband, with BB and YB, are hoping to travel along it perhaps next Summer.
My son -in-law's family on his mother's side mostly live in Waterford....so they could start from Cork and travel up.....
I know someone who has just moved back to Ireland, and he and his wife are setting up a B & B along the Wild Atlantic Way!
My daughter and family could maybe stay with him en route.
That would be good.
I hope you and your grandson have had a good catch up?

Hello, Elle!
Had a good time with my grandson!
I think your daughter would enjoy the Wild Atlantic Way.
I am able to watch the first episode on this link to BBC iPlayer.
See if you can get it?
Or if not, click on "Clips".
Anne is travelling in a camper van.

Hi, Rusty!
Thank you so much for the link!
I have access to BBC iplayer already set up, so it is no problem to watch the "Wild Atlantic Way" on it.
I have tried it out and it certainly works fine, so I shall save it and watch it sometime tomorrow.
I'm presuming I shall be able to watch the following episodes, similarly?
That will be great!

Hello, Elle!
That's splendid!
I hoped you could see it on iPlayer.
I liked the story of the sunken ship from the Spanish Armada.
The next episode is next Wednesday.
Give you time to brush up on your Gaelic...or Irish!
No, but the first episode is very good I thought.

Hello, Elle!
Here's "Two Go To Tolsta".
That's Sidney grown up with the coloured scarf on.

Hi, Rusty!
And thank you, also, for "Two Go To Tolsta"!
I was not expecting to be able to see that....
It had never occurred to me that I could watch it on BBC iPlayer!
I have saved that as well.
I shall have a lot to watch over the weekend!
Oh, and "The Voice : UK" starts tomorrow.....8.30 pm on ITV.
I don't yet have next week's TV guide, but I saw it advertised on the box.
I am looking forward to that!

Hello, Elle!
"Two Go To Tolsta", I found enjoyable!
Millicent was interviewed in Australia and seems a very nice lady!
She's in her eighties, now.
I hope you like it!
I don't use iPlayer on my TV, but it works fine on my Chromebook.
I read a quote from Laura Muir yesterday.
She has just started training in Glasgow.
"Day one of training in Glasgow. Rain, rain, rain!"

Hi, Rusty!
I think one needs a Smart TV (is that the correct name?) to be able to access such as BBC iplayer?
Do you have one of those?
My TV is quite basic!
I watch iPlayer on my desk top computer.
It works fine....... but the swivel chair at my desk in not as comfortable as the sofa!
Laura's comment on rain in Glasgow puts me in mind of when I worked at Manchester Royal Infirmary........
It rained all the time in Manchester , too!!
