Hello, Elle!
Yes, he had triple bypass surgery in Edinburgh.
He stayed in the background today.
The house sale was under way before they found his heart problem so it has been hectic for them.
An added bonus to the move is that their daughter is a nurse.
No, this is another daughter-in-law, Miss O'Hara's Mum.
The final move is on Monday, I think.
Thomas Hobson came second today.
He has done a good week's work.
He is targeting the Melbourne Cup next.

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, I see......I was getting confused!
Thomas Hobson did well?
Or was "second" not good for your bet placing?
I missed the match between Dimitrov and Lopez....
My daughter phoned me for a long chat...and the tennis had disappeared from the screen by the time we came off the phone!
I shall see if I can find the results on Google later.
There was a minimal amount of rain at Queens...in West Kensington......play was suspended for a bit.......but the competitors did not leave the courtside .
Strangely, we didn't have any rain here!
Yet we are only 10 miles away.

Hello, Elle!
Thomas Hobson did very well, but not for my bet, no.
Hope you enjoy the "Voice Kids".
My TV is off now.
May explore YouTube, though.
You may find some of these tennis games on Red Button?
No rain here too, but very breezy!

Good day, Elle!
I have been up for a while.
Still very breezy here.
I think there is athletics on EuroSport today.
I know Eilidh Child is running.
I am taking it easy.
Did quite a bit of manual work yesterday and muscles are complaining!
Well done with Everyman.
I do not do a Sunday crossword.

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, take it easy today if you think you overdid it yesterday!
Now.....I have just been searching for these Athletics!
All I can find are the European Team Championship Highlights of Day 3 at Lille, showing at 9.30 pm on Eurosport 2.
Would this be what you were meaning?
I wonder what happened to Days 1 and 2 ?!
I do not have a "programme" as such, but have to scroll through the day's schedule on EuroSport Player.
I find EuroSport confusing as there are so many "repeats".
There is a lot of tennis (re)showing at the moment, but I am up-to-date with that.......just awaiting the Final this afternoon, between Cilic and Lopez.
I think my money is on Cilic (who 'ought' to win) but Lopez has been playing extraordinarily well.

Hello, Elle!
No, these were "live" athletics in the afternoon from Lille.
"Live" Diamond League next weekend from Paris, I think.
Still a fine breezy day here!

Hi,Rrusty!
I double checked EuroSport Player but could not find a vestige of any Athletics this afternoon?
Only Highlights later this evening!
But no matter........ I have been fully occupied!
First with a quick walk with the dog...then back for 2 o'clock for the tennis Championship!
Wow! What an exciting Final!
Brilliant tennis! It was neck and neck , so to speak, ending in a long tie-break!
But Feliciano Lopez eventually won!
I am very pleased for him!
(His parents had flown over especially to see him play)
Gone rather warm here... a bit of humidity building up again...warmer outside than indoors!

Hello, Elle!
Live athletics was listed on EuroSport this afternoon.
I did not see it.
I was hunting for cycling from the Isle of Man.
Could not find it!
I know Lizzie A won the women's race, though.
Still very nice here, and breezy!
