Hello, Elle,
Finally got my last parse!
I was on the wrong track altogether.
But the parse came out of the blue!
I am not happy until it all makes sense!

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, there is certainly an interesting and varied programme offered at the festival.
But today is the penultimate day!
Unfortunately, there has been little general publicity about the events..... and I didn't even learn about it all until yesterday, when a friend told me.
He was warning me that there would be cars / vans allowed in certain areas of the park this morning to allow stallholders easy access with their "goods".
Normally the entire park (huge) is a traffic free zone.
Had the weather been less hot...then yes, we might have taken a look this afternoon.... but I cannot "do " heat (as my elder daughter would put it) and I am staying indoors , in front of the fan, where it is pleasantly cool!
We shall be out all day tomorrow for Fathers' Day , regardless!
I am glad you have sorted your puzzle!
I agree with you - a crossword cannot be considered "finished" until every parse is thoroughly explained!

Hello, Elle!
The chicks are huge now.
The rangers have "ringed" them.
Looks to be a nice breeze over the loch, too.
I am not fond of heat either.
I did not know tomorrow was Father's Day.
The parse came out of the blue.
I had been worrying away at it but was up the wrong road entirely!
Hope there is no more calamities at the golf today.
The blimp pilot is recovering in hospital but is quite badly burned.

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, I looked in on the chicks earlier.
Do we know their gender yet?
( I might ask them to "move over"......it looks nice and breezy up there in their nest!)
Yes, Fathers' Day tomorrow!
Perhaps I shouldn't have told you....your sons might be planning to surprise you!
Younger daughter and I, and BB and YB, of course, are taking out the "dads" for lunch!
I didn't realise until your mention of it last night that a "blimp" could be piloted?
I see now that the definition also gives a small airship
I had only heard of a bumptious person eg Colonel Blimp!
Or a barrage balloon!

Hello, Elle,
They "think" the older chick is female and the young one is male.
No surprise for me tomorrow.
We do not bother much with these type of days.
Some blimps are "moored" in the sky, others can be piloted.
The Wisconsin blimp was being piloted when it caught fire.
The pilot was rescued after it crashed, just before the fuel tanks exploded.
He is a lucky man.
This is his third blimp "emergency".
The original name was B-limp to distinguish it from a similar craft known as A-rigid.
Excuse me for being boring!

Hi, Rusty!
I did not know about the B-limp and A-rigid airships.
That is very interesting!
A Zeppelin would be the "rigid" type, then ?
As used in the First World War?
I am watching "The Voice Kids"....there is such a lot of talent.
Really quite amazing!
We haven't even had dinner yet.......

Hello, Elle!
Yes, the Zeppelins were rigid air ships, as was the Hindenburg which caught fire and crashed in New Jersey, with a lot of lives lost.
I have heard "The Voice Kids" is quite good.
Great weather here and in Wisconsin!
Maybe it is too warm for you to eat.
I just had Weetabix.
Not a day for cooking, for me, anyway!

Hi, Rusty!
The Voice Kids was great - even better than last week!
And the judges seem very nice.
I've always liked Will.i.am, but had never come across the other two judges before.
Pixie Lott is lovely - great with the children, as is the other judge Danny Jones from McFly.
The show has "good" vibes!
Yes, you are right - it is far too hot to be cooking, so - as neither of us had eaten since breakfast, apart from fruit - my husband popped down to the chip shop!
I enjoyed it!
I was hungrier than I had thought!
I am recording "Casualty" - I cannot watch more TV tonight.
The only time when I do "overload" on the television is during the second week of Wimbledon!

Good morning, Elle!
i think it shall be hot today!
I have heard (vaguely) of Pixie Lott, but do not know what she does.
A singer?
My chip shop is not so handy.
It has a great reputation and is frequently "mobbed".
I can not watch TV for too long, either.
I know folk who switch it on when they rise and it stays that way until they go to bed, and some of them have a TV at their bed too!
Addicts!
I got a "happy father's day "WhatsApp" text from my daughter-in-law at 6.45 this morning!
Is the toe still on the mend?

Good morning, Rusty!
Happy Father's Day!
There you go, you see.!
I told you your family would surprise you!
We have a busy day ahead, although will not need to go out before about 10.45 am.
Firstly, I need to take the plants to the Crematorium.
(for Father's Day and my parents' Wedding Anniversary)
And then we are meeting up with family for a Father's Day lunch.
It should be a good day!
Thank you for enquiring about my toe !
My foot is still somewhat swollen but the toe itself is less painful!
(I can "hobble" further than I could a few days ago!)
