Good morning, Elle!
It is dry here!
I do not know anything about Lyudmila being an athlete.
She finished her studies after the war and became a historian.
And Woody Guthrie wrote and recorded a song about her.
"Miss Pavlichenko".
The song is dreadful.
Who ate the sausage?
Maybe a kindly neighbour gave the sausage to the fox?
Any sign of your new neighbours moving in?

Good morning, Rusty!
A beautiful morning for a walk!
But I think it may get hotter later.
I am sure that I read somewhere (once upon a time!) that Lyudmila was a sprinter (possibly?) and a pole vaulter (I'm more sure about this?)
I shall have to do some "digging"!
We gave the sausage back to the foxes when we fed them their supper!
They live in an overgrown greenhouse at the bottom of our neighbour's garden.
No , no sign yet of neighbours moving in on the other side ......it will take some time for the sale to go through all the motions........
We were looking at a couple of months when we sold my father's flat.
Now for the Everyman!

Hello, Elle!
There is loads on YouTube about Lyudmila.
She does not look very athletic.
Not a slim woman.
Apparently she gave very rousing speeches to the Americans.
Telling them to get into the war and that she had killed hundreds of the enemy.
The song about her by Woody Guthrie is excruciatingly awful!
That is good you keep an eye on the foxes!

Hi, Rusty!
I am beginning to wonder if I have the "wrong" Lyudmila in my head?
It is a not uncommon Russian name, and there have been several athletes so called!
Oops!
But I shall persevere and see if I can turn up anything.......
I have finished the Everyman.......quite a nice one, but all "done and dusted" too soon!
So I am just popping out for the Sunday Times.......

Hello, Elle,
Lyudmila was from Ukraine.
Though she fought with the Soviet forces.
I do not think the sniper was an athlete.
This evening's "digging" is on Lyndon B. Johnson!

Hi, Rusty!
I was quite a long time getting my paper....
I stopped to talk to one of my neighbours , who was weeding her front garden.
Why/ what do you want to find out about Lyndon B. Johnson?
I am intrigued, Rusty.......?

Hello, Elle!
No need to be intrigued.
LBJ was my favourite President.
I like to learn different things.
It is my nature!

Hi, Rusty!
Ah, yes, I do know that.....
I had just wondered if you were prompted by something you had "come across"?
If your curiosity had been sparked by an incident you had happened upon?
Now...I was just about to message you, anyway, to tell you that the cat finally has just eaten something!
This may not sound all that earth-shattering........but to me it is!!
And he is now having a wash!
So things are looking up, hopefully?
I am feeling so relieved!
I have been very worried about him!

Hello, Elle!
That is encouraging news regarding the cat!
Hope he is on the mend!
No, I just sort of "explore" the things I come across on YouTube.
It is a pity there was no YouTube when I was at school.
I think it may have made a difference to me.
I had a look at logarithms earlier but am no wiser!
I shall stick to simpler stuff, like LBJ.
It has been a fine day here.

Good evening, Rusty!
I have been talking to my cousin for the past hour...we have had a lot of catching up to do!
All is well with the Northern branch of the family.
I finally have had a response from Customer Care at Eurosport Player.
They tell me that, after their recent upgrade, it is proving necessary for many customers to reset their password in order to gain access to their account again.
They suggest that I might be one of these!
So I have dutifully followed their instructions on how to do this.....including what they now want included in the password!
But does it work...can I now access EuroSport?
No, I cannot!
So I am back to emailing them again.......!
I remember using logs at school...... I don't think any of us had ever heard of a calculator!
How's your research on LBJ going?
