Good morning, Rusty!
We were supposed to have a "cold, bright, frosty start"!
Instead we have had a dull, somewhat miserable beginning to the day!
We haven't been out for a walk yet.
I made it as far as the garden with the dog!
A late start to my day!
No plans as yet....we shall play it as it comes.......
Just going to have a look at the Everyman.
I wonder if Lindsey will race today? I think she will be very foolish if she does?

Hello, Elle!
Very cold here.
I have bought a Sunday paper, first in years.
The Scottish Herald. Heard good things about the journalism so I thought I'd give it a try.
The men are skiing now, but the women will be on a different mountain. Not sure if it will be televised.
Lindsey is the best ever woman Alpine skier, so I suppose she knows what she is doing. Her knee was wrapped in ice last night.
She treads a very, very, thin line between victory and disaster when she skis, and she will not change now!

Elle, update on Lindsey Vonn.
She has had her knee drained several times overnight and appears to be quite chipper.
She is going on to the slopes to test her knee, then decide if she races or not.
Superwoman couldn't hold a candle to Lindsey!

Hi, Rusty!
Has Lindsey decided to race? How did the 'experimental trial' of her knee go?
I shouldn't have complained that last week's Everyman was too easy! I am struggling with today's version!
I have only completed about a third so far.
I hope you like the Scottish Herald.
Does it have a worthy crossword?

Hello, Elle!
Yes, she is racing and is leading, so far.
Race not over yet though.
She leads Kajsa Kling and Laurenne Ross.
Second run to come yet.
I have not looked at the Herald so far.
Later in the day.
I would doubt if it is difficult crossword though.
Weather is super here.
Beautiful blue sky, but it is cold!

Good afternoon, Rusty!
How is Lindsey doing now?
The Everyman was fine once I got going!
I enjoyed it better this week as I had to struggle at first to get to grips with it.
More satisfying!
The weather has improved dramatically! We now have blue skies and sunshine - although my tentative trips into the garden have shown how very cold it is!
However, we are now about to go out for a long walk - suitably "layered up" against the icy temperature.
Catch you later........

Hello, Elle!
Can't find out anything about Lindsey.
Not on Eurosport.
Maybe weather problems.
Same with Victoria. All quiet.
She is riding at Larkhill, Wiltshire, today.
The Herald was reasonable.
I doubt if I would buy it again, though.
There is a prize crossword, but I am not doing it.
It is a great day here, too!

Hi, Rusty!
We had a great walk! It was beautiful out but the north easterly wind was biting.
We have just about thawed out!
Have you finished your clearing out ready for the painter 's arrival tomorrow?
It will be all go once he gets there!
I have just been talking to my elder daughter on the phone.
She is having an extension built onto her present kitchen in their new house (well, not so "new" as all that, as she has been there for about twelve months now. Times flies!)
It is chaos apparently!
The boys will be staying here with us by themselves in the Easter holidays, whilst the internal wall is knocked down.
I'd better get fit, ready for the onslaught!!

Hello, Elle!
Yes, all ready for Maggie and the painter.
That's good you have the boys visiting at Easter.
Canada's Marie-Michelle Gagnon won the skiing.
Vonn finished down the field.
Victoria was 6th at her point to point, and sits down with Paul Nichols tomorrow to plan her ride on Pacha at Wincanton.
It is quite cold here this night.
Winter has returned!

Hi, Rusty!
It is bitterly cold here, too! I had thought Spring might be on its way, but Winter has definitely returned with a vengeance!
I was shivering after just opening the patio door for the dog to go out into the garden!
Victoria did well today then!
I presume that how she does on Pacha at Wincanton will play a big part in deciding her fate for Cheltenham?
I have just been having my weekly (hourly) chat with my cousin in Blackburn. All up there are well.
What time are the painter and Maggie coming tomorrow?
Shall you have time to go out first for your paper?
