Hello, Elle!
Oh, fame, surely, Elle!
Did not take long for Malone and me to spot you!
At the same time!.
I do not do the crossword till later, but I always have a quick look and fill in the three and four letter clues right away...if I can.
So that is how I am early at the game.
My painter has been and gone.
Primer coat applied and I can close the door after twenty minutes, he said. Very nice man, too.
Cold here too, and we have a wild weather warning from Met Office.
Storm Eva approaching.
Hope she does not arrive until La Bamba and me get home from our outing!

Hello, Rosalind!
Well, a bit of progress regarding the lights.
There are always solutions if you persevere and seek them.
Your son seems to be on the ball, so I think things will be fine.
It is quite a straightforward clue.
Magazine featuring topless beauty (4)
(B)elle.
I believe Elle is a ladies magazine, apart from being our "lady who lunches"?

I think the magazine is B(elle) !

Sure is, Rossim!

Hi everyone,

The magazine ELLE has been in existence since I was a teenager !
My mother always bought it.

Bright and sunny, a tiny breeze which makes it feels fresh, but still in double figure temps.

Glad your door has had its first treatment Rusty.

Hi, Rusty!
Goodness, your painter is very quick and proficient! I'm assuming the paint has dried by now and your door is closed?
When is Round two?
From the sounds of the weather forecast it had better be soon?
I have just been hearing about "thundersnow" .....whatever next?
Seemingly it is just like a thunderstorm, only SNOW falls instead of rain.
Is it coming with Storm Eva?
My friend in Calgary is delighted because snow has fallen and they are set for a White Christmas!

Doh! was trying to make Elle out of Helen (of Troy)

Good afternoon!
Painter was very quick. A good tradesman.
He may pop up for a few minutes next week to treat and fill in knotholes and stuff.
The primer is dry, but i have left "wet paint" notice up for the postie's benefit.
Not heard of thundersnow, Elle. (neither has my spellchecker!)
Pretty wet and windy here, so I take it Eva is approaching.
Seems to be a lot of road traffic today.
The young one and me were at Pine Cone cafe for bacon rolls..
Very festive there!

That's good about the front door, Rusty!
And glad to hear that you and Miss L-B got out to have your bacon rolls.
We are just popping over to the pet shop to look for appropriate gifts for the dog and the cat! Something to play with, I think.
Still nice here so far!
It's good to see the sun shining so brightly!
I have completed the Times QC earlier, but only a third of the way through the 15 x15 - my brain must be sluggish today!

Well Rosalind, Helen of Troy was quite a beauty no?
