Hi, Rusty!
I am glad you and your granddaughter completed your mission successfully!
And trout for tea sounds good!
I am too full from lunch to require anything more to eat today.......
Well, maybe just a shortie biscuit with my coffee!
I hope you have had a good chat with your son?
How is the golf going?
I don't think Roger has played his Semi yet?
I am just about to take a look at today's highlights.........

Hello, Elle!
Golf is going along quite nicely.
Lovely course in California.
Federer's match starts at 8.30 tomorrow morning, according to Paddy Power.
I may see some of it before/after ASDA.
It is fairly mild here.

Hi, Rusty!
I have been watching some of the highlights of Kyle's match.
Unfortunately, I had not noticed that the recording time had changed today, and did not cover all the period, so I missed the end of the match.
Kyle appeared to play well.........just not good enough to beat Marin Cilic.
Kyle's coach was also dressed in pink!
But Marin wore white with touches of turquoise?
Presumably dressed by a different sponsor!
I wonder will Roger's match be shown tomorrow?

Hello, Elle!
With reference to pink.
I noticed when watching the golf that Tiger Woods (Nike athlete) had quite a bit of pink on his shirt.
Roger's match is "live" on EuroSport at 8.30 a.m. our time.
Cilic wears "Fila" shirts, so no pink!

Rusty, Elle, I've been out most of the day - but I think Roger's semi was on earlier today.

Hello, Malone!
Federer v Chung tomorrow at 8.30 a.m. is a semi-final.
Now, will there be an upset?

Rusty, thanks. I'd checked the tennis results on my phone - and that gave me the Federer/Bedych match. I think I'm finding it hard to keep track because of the time difference and the fact that there can be a big gap between matches which are at the same stage in the tournament!

I don't think there will be an upset - but it'd be good for tennis if there was.

Good morning, Malone!
I agree about the time difference.
Just watched a bit of the match but won't say a word in case Elle looks in!

Good morning, Rusty!
A dry day here, but cool.
Just back from my walk....
I have heard about Chung retiring from the match!
I am glad that Roger is through, but obviously no one wished for it to be under such circumstances.
And I was looking forward to seeing the match on today's BBC highlights..... ah well!
So the Women's Singles Final tomorrow (Sat) - Caroline Wozniacki v Simona Halep - and the Men's Singles Final - Roger v Marin Cilic on Sunday.
I wonder how much coverage the BBC is offering?



Yes, Malone, I agree.... the gap between matches at the same level is disconcerting!
It quite throws one's "clock" out!

Good morning, Elle!
Lovely frosty morning here!
Apparently Chung retired with a blister on his foot!
Bit odd, surely?
I'll miss the Women's Final.
I would support Caroline.
My grandson and his young lady are collecting me at 9 to go for a bacon roll to the Horn.
And there is skiing on at the same time!
I am stuck at home now just now, awaiting Amazon delivery!
