Hi, Rusty!
I was searching for the Karlsruhe athletics and came upon a studio scene of Jonathan and, I assumed, Tina.
I didn't linger as I didn't want to miss the athletics.
I just had time to notice J in his suit!
I should be quite happy were Jonathan to play a leading role in introducing/ commentating on Sport...I have always liked him and think he has a pleasing personality, don't you?
Ah, now BBC's "hustling".......I am referring to the foreshortened "highlights" that we are continually getting.
It is all one event piled on top of another...sometimes without even showing all the competitors.
Rush, rush, rush......
This is primarily what drove me to consider EuroSports Player.
I can get live TV, both Euro Channels 1 and 2, the TV schedules and about 200 videos!
I have enjoyed myself this evening!

Hello, Elle!
Yes, I like Jonathan and I hope he does well.
A lot for him to learn if he is doing most sports!
He has been interviewing Lindsey Vonn, too.
Could it have been her you saw?
She is blonde, Tina is brunettish.
That is great you are getting on well with Eurosport!
I think Laura Muir runs in Birmingham indoors, on Sat 18th Feb, but I do not know who is covering it, or what distance she is racing.
Be very good, though!

Good morning, Rusty!
It is not a very nice morning here.
We have fog, and a dampness in the air - cold too.
What is it like in your area?
Have you been out for your paper?
We have to go out again later.........at midday for dental check ups.
I have just checked in on EuroSport....
I can see this becoming addictive!
Jonathan - wearing a suit - was in the studio talking with Tina, and Chammy Alcott.
I see that there is European Indoor Athletics scheduled for 3 o'clock.
We should be home again by then.
Have to prioritise!
What are you up to today?

Good morning, Elle!
Bit dreich here, but not too cold.
Yes, I agree, Jonathan seems to be doing programmes with Tina!
I stand corrected!
He will have the anorak on shortly, for the men's Super G.
Tina was one of my favourites when she raced.
And "Chemmy" it is! Her Christian name is Chimene.
The athletics is from Dusseldorf. Not live though.
I have the day to myself and will watch the skiing.
I had phone calls to make yesterday.
One was to BT regarding my discount, but they said to call back on Friday when more offers are available.

Hi, Rusty!
Sorry......"Chemmy "!
I had never heard of her!
I am having one of those 'phone call' days myself today!
I have various problems to sort out, plus an appointment to make at the vets for the cat to have his boosters, the dog to go to the groomers, organise a food delivery for tomorrow from the pet shop, and on and on it goes...!
You have BT twisted round your little finger by the sound of it!
Well, I must away to the dentist.
Our first appointment is at noon.
Catch up on my return........
Enjoy the skiing!

Hello, Elle!
Chemmy was a very good Alpine skier.
She had a lot of injuries during her career.
Broken neck, ankle, legs etc.
She is a very good commentator.
BT and me get on very well.
I find them very good to deal with.
Actually, I get on very well with Sky, AA, SSE, and other companies I deal with.
I am lucky that I get discounts from them.
But if you don't ask, you don't get!
I was just slightly early phoning BT to get another deal.
Will do so on Friday.
Skiing is good.
Erik Guay of Canada is leading, so far.

Good afternoon, Rusty!
We are finally home from the dentist!
It was a successful visit in that neither of us required any treatment.
We both have a clean bill of health!
No need to go again for another six months.
It is absolutely freezing cold out............brrrh.........much colder than it was first thing this morning.
I think I am in now to stay......
Or, maybe...just maybe..... I will take the dog out for a while later......maybe about 4 pm after I have watched the Indoor Athletics at Dusseldorf!
It does rather depend on whether this abysmal fog worsens.
I don't think it healthy to go out if the fog gets any thicker.
We shall see..........
How did your skiing go?

Hello, Elle!
Erik Guay won the skiing.
It is getting cold here, too.
My local paper ran an article saying we are in for a cold spell.
Temperature could be down to minus 10.
Hope not!
Good result at your dentist!

Hi, Rusty!
I am glad you enjoyed the skiing.
My afternoon was quite upsetting.
Our neighbour on our "other side" - NOT our long term family friend, of whom I have told you - very sadly died at home this afternoon.
We knew that she had terminal lung cancer but were not expecting so sudden a happening.
Her cousin (in-law) - her only remaining relative - came to tell us.
There is always grief for someone.......
But such is life.......
On a happier theme......
My daughter has just sent me a video of YB first "walking" across the room - this will be a nice memento to keep!

Hello, Elle!
Not good news about your neighbour.
That's just the way it goes, unfortunately.
Yes, keep your video, will be nice to look back on.
I have just finished my crossword.
Been busy doing things this afternoon.
It is quite cold here.
