Hi, Rusty!
My uncle was a keen supporter of Bolton Wanderers!
I have just discovered from daughter that we need to be in our seats 45 minutes before hand!
This has caused me to revise my travelling timetable!
I don' t think that the entire stadium is covered? nor do I know about our stand?
I have never been there previously and my daughter did all the organising and bought the tickets.
I shall tell you tomorrow!
I have the morning and early afternoon at home....I have started the crossword.........
You will be busy indeed if you intend to follow such a diversity of sports!!

Hello Elle and Rusty!

Not a bad day here, and Le Tour should enjoy a sunny 24C weather.

I hope you have a super day Elle - It will be an interesting
experience indeed! Make the most of it.

Hello, Elle!
I thought you may like to hear about the Wanderers!
Yes, a lot to keep up with for me.
Tour takes priority though, and the doings of Rachel Heck!
Why have you to be so early in your seat?
Good luck with your puzzle!

Good day, Pigale!
Rain here!
Nice weather on Le Tour.
I see Thomas Voeckler is in the breakaway!

Hi, Rusty!
Goal posts moved yet again......another change of plan!
Our daughter has just suggested that we all meet up earlier than originally planned and entertain the children in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (where the London Stadium is situated) for a few hours before the start of the evening programme of events.
We can apparently also eat there...........
I hadn't even been aware that such facilities existed!
I really hadn't "done my homework"!
But it sounds like a good idea?
So I am away to get ready...and we shall be leaving in a little while.
I doubt we shall be home again until after midnight, so talk tomorrow......
Have a good day!



Hello, Pigale!
Thank you - we are looking forward to it!
We are all meeting up earlier now than originally planned!

Hi Rusty!

Did you enjoy the stage today? Not as good as yesterday's, though
probably more difficult than it first appeared.
You were right - Froome is already back in yellow - will he remain so
right the way to Paris? I have a feeling that he is not quite as strong
this year - which could explain Sky's tactics yesterday?

Shame about Voeckler, and even more so Thomas De Gendt! What an
effort!

I am looking forward to tomorrow's stage - Plateau d'Aubrac, another
one of my favourite areas in France - Spent holidays there two years
on the trot when a kid - lots of memories.
I probably would not recognise the village where we stayed though!

Hello, Pigale,
Not as exciting as yesterday, but good to see Voeckler having a go.
Would be good to see him win a stage!
Froome is looking good for the win, so far.
Even if he has another bad day, he has the time trial to get time back.
But who knows what may happen?
The Tour has lost a few good riders already.

Good morning, Rusty!
We had a great day out yesterday!
The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford is a fantastic place -well worth exploring thoroughly at leisure when we have more time.
The complex was built for the Summer 2012 Olympics.
It is there that the Lee Valley VeloPark is situated.
And the London Athletic Stadium is impressive.
The seating area and the track were covered....the only part open to the elements was the central grassed area for the field events.
We had excellent seats.
The children enjoyed it all!
BB watching and following with interest....YB just entranced by all the activity!
We got home just short of midnight.

Good morning, Elle!
Fine day here!
Well done!
You seemed to have a very good day out!
I am looking forward to the mixed doubles at Wimbledon, later.
I think it will be entertaining!
