Hi, Rusty!
Still lovely out, but getting colder by the minute!
Enjoyable though.
Funnily enough, having got as far as "free" church, I nearly suggested "wee free" (!) but thought it sounded too rude - and Norah might ban me!
I didn't know of course that this was an official designation in Scotland!
It is good that your son is moving even closer to you!
Our new Tassimo coffee machine is playing up - I'm missing my cup of Americano! My husband is studying the Instruction section marked "Troubleshooting" as I type this!
You'll be missing your Sport? or is there something still on now?
I can't wait for the Athletics season to start in earnest - not all that long now......
I have my book to finish... and there is "The Voice" to watch tonight!

Rusty,glad you liked Wee Free- I thought it was terrific. I don't think the Criterion theatre is
... famous enough to be known by everyone.

Malone, Wee Free was a very good one.
I have not heard of Criterion.
I had "benchmark" stuck in my head for a while!

Isn't there a splinter group called the "Wee-wee frees"? (Seriously!)

Chris, see post 6357!

Missed it, rusty!

I did once know a Catholic ex-monk who married a lady who was a Wee Free. Probably not made in Heaven.....

Hello, Elle,
Update on sport.
Lindsey Vonn crashed out of the Super-G.
She was carried off the slope on a sled and apparently has a hairline fracture of her knee....but is threatening to race tomorrow, if she is able! These Yanks are tough cookies!
Federica Brignone won the race.
Victoria was point to pointing somewhere and Lawney Hill was very pleased with her. She is in another point to point tomorrow.
Hope The Voice is going well!

Hi, Rusty!
I really enjoyed "The Voice"!
I am not usually an advocate of talent shows but this has to be one of my favourite programmes to watch on TV.
The talent is amazing and, as I've said before, the rapport between the judges makes it very good viewing.
I'm recording "Casualty" to watch another time.
I'm not well- informed about sports injuries, but won't Lindsey risk further damage to her knee if she tries to compete tomorrow?
Going off how quickly an athlete pulls out if he/she runs a risk of further damage , it makes me wonder how wise Lindsey is being if she goes ahead with tomorrow's race?
And speaking of tomorrow.......any plans?
P.S. The coffee machine is functioning again!

Hello, Elle!
Lindsey has had a lot of knee injuries.
I can't see her racing tomorrow.
It won't help her knee heal, that's for sure.
None of the top racers were in the first three today.
Laurenne Ross was second, and Tamara Tippler was third.
Conditions were bad. Heavy snow and very windy.
Your husband fixed the coffee machine?
Well done that man!
I've been pondering.
"All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again,"
Just how did the horses go about trying to put poor Humpty back in one piece? The men, yes, I can understand that, but the horses?
