Well, Jazzgirl, my tuppenceworth is you are far better being involved in your projects than watching television.
Much more satisfactory, and I wish you well with them.
The Tour of Spain ranks behind Le Tour and the Giro.
Rightly so. It's position in the calendar changed a few years ago and now it is too close to the World Championships. Many of the Classics riders bypass it to concentrate on the Worlds. I always look out to see if I can see any of the fighting bulls out on the ranches (ganaderia?). They are scary looking!

Hi again everyone,

Jazzy and Rusty,

Weather today glorious and very hot.

Isn't anyone going to be watching the Athletics World Championships? on all week from Saturday on BBC 1 and BBC 2?

I'm glad no-one needed help with the clue from today's Times.

Tom Lehrer claimed to be "justifiably modest" about his military career.

Malone, no.

Just here for a few secs while the fish is cooking.....
re Sinatra or Bing , I liked them both for different reasons, and to watch them together performing "Well did you evah" was a joy. They even took the mickey out of each other's style of singing.

I love "High Society" Jg! I watch all the reruns!

You can't beat a fine fish, Jazzgirl!
The only two crooners that I can think of that I did not like, were Sinatra, and Matt Monro.
They just irked me!
And one balladeer, who I have discovered is taking part in Strictly Come Dancing next time!
