Hi, Rusty!
What tennis is this from Bogota?
I haven't heard anything about it?
I been hoping that my setting up the EuroSports Player would enable me to watch more tennis and athletics, but unfortunately this does not seem to be happening?
I do not think that either of these Sports seems to be highly valued by EuroSport?
It is mostly golf and cycling and sometimes snooker!
I am disappointed.

Hello, Elle!
I think it is women's tennis.
There will be more athletics on Eurosport as summer approaches.
I think Eurosport covers the French Championship Tennis.
The Paris Marathon was on on Sunday.
There will be more marathons etc as the year goes on.

Hi, Rusty!
Oh, well that sounds a better outlook!
I shall hopefully look forward to being able to watch more sport of my choice then.
If my trial period of EuroPlayer goes well, I shall maybe continue with it, for a further twelve months, although the price then increases dramatically.
Still, I don't mind that ( too much) if I can watch the programmes I want to see!
Another text from my daughter tells me that we are meeting at the Toby Carvery tomorrow for my birthday lunch!
Then they are coming back with us here for the remainder of the day.
It should be good!
I am looking forward to it!

Hello, Elle!
Hopefully Eurosport will improve soon.
I am not a fan of snooker either.
Your day out sounds good!
Have you ever heard of a lady called Violet Gibson?
I had not, but just came across her.
She was an Irishwoman, and she shot Benito Mussolini in 1926.
But he turned his head as she was shooting and the bullet hit his nose, just.
She died in an asylum in Northamptonshire.
Always something to learn!

Good morning and Happy Birthday, Elle!
Hope you enjoy your special day!

Happy Birthday Elle!

Happy Birthday Elle!


(How do people know birthdays? I struggle to remember mine!)

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ELLE!

Enjoy your special day to the full!

Good morning, Rusty!
Thank you very much for the birthday wishes!
I am looking forward to my day!
The sun has just peeped out, too, to help me celebrate!
No, I've never heard of Violet Gibson..........why did she especially want to kill Mussolini?
The fact that she died in an asylum suggests that it is thought her action was somewhat unbalanced?!
I am fascinated as to where and how you discovered this fact?
You do come up with some really interesting -and sometimes astonishing- facts!
I can cap Mussolini's being shot in the nose.....
Garibaldi was shot.......in the foot!
What are you up to, today?



Thank you, Ros, Chris and Pigale for the birthday good wishes - that is really kind of you all!
My grandson wondered if I were having the correct number of candles on my cake........!

Hello, Elle!
How is the "special day" going?
I was on YouTube looking for Betsy Andreu's interviews (found them, and Emma O'Reilly's) and came across this little white-haired old lady who shot Mussolini!
Violet is on YouTube!
A pity they never had YouTube when went to school, I may have paid a bit more attention!
I have been for my paper and today is "haircut" day!
That will keep me occupied for a wee while!
Then the World Championships Cycling is on my TV around lunch time.
