Hi, Rusty!
Are you home again now?
I hope you all had a good time.
What did you eat?
I have looked in on the ospreys - only one in the nest, but its back is firmly turned to the camera and I cannot decide which it is.
There is no new info on the blog...... it really is a poor do!
I finished the Everyman earlier...I have answers for all the clues, but two still to parse.
I have been reading my book......but am now about to watch "The Voice" (all of it this time!)
I shall miss the show now that its run has finished.
I hope you enjoy the cycling.......

Update, Rusty!
I thought you might like to listen to all three songs that Ruti sang in "The Voice Final?
"If you're not the one" by Daniel Beckinfield.

And the duet with Tom Jones "What a Wonderful World!

And of course, "Dreams" which she sang in the 'sing-off'....

I hope the links work!

HE has done it !! What a great race by Sagan! and well done by
the Swiss rider!

Good afternoon, Pigale!
Peter Sagan was brilliant!
He left the Quick-Steps in his wake today.
Yes, ten out of ten for the Swiss champion.
He worked hard with Sagan all the way.
A true rider!
Now, Sagan gets to take a cobblestone home!

It is the first time he won Paris Roubaix, isn't it?

Shame about Geraint Thomas, and also that poor rider who
had a heart attack (after a fall I think?)

They were lucky with the weather though!

Good afternoon, Elle!
Been a lovely day here!
I had a bacon roll at Pine Cone.
Just me and Miss O today.
The only info that I have seen from the Rangers today on Twitter, is about frog spawn.
No mention of the birds. No surprise there.
Well done on Everyman!
Cycling was great!
A win for Sagan!
Geraint Thomas crashed out on the cobbles but I think he is OK.
There are two riders in hospital but no info on them.
I think there was a defibrillator used on one of them.
I liked the duet with Ruti and Tom.
Thought it was smashing!
She is very good.
She sounds very like Dolores O'Riordan when she sang "Dreams".
I was impressed!

Hello, Pigale!
Yes, it sounds as if a rider may have had a heart attack.
I do not know if he crashed or fell off when having the heart attack.
I believe a defillibrator was used on him?
Hope he is OK, and the rest of those who crashed.
Yes, a fine day for the race.
The dry weather makes the cobbles less dangerous, thankfully.

Update, Pigale.

Hello Rusty,

It is not really clear as to whether the crash caused the cardiac
arrest, or the other way round - they say he crashed on his own

Anyway let's hope he recovers -

Hello, Pigale,
It sounds to me, if he was on his own there was something wrong?
Maybe he felt ill and dropped out of the peloton?
Then had a heart attack and crashed.
Hope he is OK.

Hello, Elle,
