Pigale, there are quite a few DVD's on Edith Cavell on eBay, too.



Hello, Elle,
I'll be back later!

Hello again,

Thanks for your advice Rusty but yes, I do buy a lot of DVDs from Amazon (as well as BBC shop when they were in operation); Whenever a DVD is not compatible for our zoning, they do mention it. UK and France seem to be in same zone and I never had any problem.

Elle, the film was made in 1939! I thought it was even older than that! You are correct about the actress - but I have already forgotten her name!

Good evening, Elle!

Your gifts seem fine.

Your son does come up with some appetising meals!
Speaking of which....Wagamama's is a restaurant chain providing Oriental cuisine of noodle and rice dishes.
Delicious.....and at reasonable prices.
Yes, I wondered whether you had read that Jess Ennis is retiring from Athletics?
She says that she has made the decision to do so, whilst she is at her peak.
I guess that makes sense and is a good time to go.
She will be missed!
Time for Katarina Johnson-Thompson to step up to the mark?

Hello, Elle!
i read about Jess.
She will be missed.
A credit to her sport.
I think the time is right for her to go.
Let us hope KTJ can follow in her spike marks.
This is a sort of drive-in butcher that my son goes to.
They do lots of different take away with you meals.
They do a very good trade.

Have you been out for your paper?

So I am never stuck for a crossword, just finding time is the problem!

It was very emotional on her last round.
Non-stop tears!

Hi, Rusty!
Sorry....I remembered the wrong granddaughter!
I do not know Se Ri Pak - not a name that I have heard you mention?
Is there roughly a "retiring " age in golf?
Or is she going at the peak of her career, as is Jess?

It is our "turn" this year to have elder daughter and family to stay over the festivities....they alternate between us and the in-laws.
We spend every Christmas with our younger daughter and family - either here or at her house - taking it in turns to cook Christmas lunch!
