P.S. Rusty,
I have just been reading up about Saturdays' Edinburgh Cross Country race.....
It starts at 10 am through till 3.30 pm
Did you know that the relay race is mixed?
Two men and two women in a 4 x 1k race. - at 1. 29pm
Isn't this unusual?

Hello, Elle,
There are several events at Edinburgh.
Laura is in GB and NI relay team, with James Bowness, Charlene Thomas, and james West.
Her team mates are new to me.
They compete against teams from Scotland, England, Wales, Norn Iron, Europe, and USA.
So it should be good!

Hello Rusty,

I had not realised he was still cycling, neither did I know his exact age nowadays. I have just had a look on google and he does look great, but such a 'wee' man! Good for him - I'd like to be as fit as he is !

wine and women must have kept him fit!

Hello, Pigale!
The wine and women certainly kept him happy!
He has a great sense of humour.
A very cheery 105 year old!

Hello, Elle!
Yes, an unusual event.
Be good to see though.
I am looking forward to seeing the relay, and whatever Sir Mo is running in.
Senior men's probably.

Hi, Rusty!
Callum Hawkins and Andy Vernon are also running alongside Mo.
Mo came second last year, didn't he?
But won the year before?

Good morning, Elle.
I think you are right about Sir Mo being second.
Should be good racing at Edinburgh.
Liz McColgan has tweeted congrats to Laura Muir.
Liz is unsure if the record will be ratified.
It was a "mixed 3-5 km race", says she, whatever that is?
And she is unsure if there was doping control after the race.
So...we shall have to wait and see.
Fine cold day here.
No visiting for me today.
Think I have picked up a bug and do not want to pass it on!

Good morning, Rusty!
A glorious morning here - blue sky, bright sunshine and all is white with frost!
Very picturesque , although extremely cold at -2C.
But on the plus side......frozen ground = clean dog!
An enjoyable walk.
I am very sorry to hear that you are feeling rough.
What type of bug? Do you have a cold? Are you feeling sick?
Yes, wise to stay in.
I hope you are better soon!
I am going out later this morning....... "Ladies who Lunch" day.
Then back for 3.30 when our son and granddaughter will arrive after school.
It will be good to have them here together...not something that often happens.
Usually we see her with her mum.
Keep warm! (Be sensible!)

Hello, Elle,
Gracious! You ask me more questions than my GP!
Just a bit under the weather, is all.
A bit shivery etc, Dr Elle!
It is a great day here too.
Just like yours. Blue sky, white frost.
Good you are seeing your family later.
Laura is captain of Team GB on Saturday!
I am staying home so no paper today.
About to attempt crossword online.
I much prefer doing it on paper!

Good afternoon, Rusty!
I had a very enjoyable time out - lunch was delicious and the company good.
So Laura's new record was indeed ratified!
I am very glad to hear it.
Well done her!
That is quite an honour for her to captain Team GB on Saturday.
She is well qualified to do so though, I think.
Just waiting now for our son and granddaughter to arrive.
I made sure I was home in good time........but realistically I doubt they can be here much before 4 o'clock.
I shall take a look at the crossword in the interim......
Dare I ask if you are feeling any better?
