Good morning, Rusty!
It is a lovely day here...bright blue skies and sunshine......a tad chilly out earlier, but will be warming up nicely in the later morning, ready for the Royal Wedding!

Going to relax now, and take a look at the crosswords.

Hi, Rusty!
I am watching the Royal Wedding, as I expect you are.
It was a beautiful ceremony , wasn't it?
The Chapel was most impressive.
I loved the informality of using only "Harry" and "Meghan" to address the couple.......and that they held tightly to each other's hands throughout
Meghan looked lovely and I thought her dress very simple and elegant.
The ceremony seemed somewhat simple and informal (under the Royal circumstances) and I thought the public - including us , the viewers at home - were included as part of the day.
The young bridesmaids and page boys were very well- behaved!
And Bishop Michael gave a heartfelt fiery address/ sermon!
A goodly occasion!
I shall go watch the coach procession......all nearly over........

Hello, Elle!
The chapel is a work of art.
They were wonderful craftsmen who built it.
The wedding seemed to go off very well.
I have the Giro on TV now.

How is the cycling going?

Hello, Elle!
Great weather here, too!

Cycling went well.
The "lad from Bury", Simon Yates, was second today and still leads the race.
Another week to go though.

Hi, Rusty!
I have been multi-tasking.... watching last weekend's Shanghai Diamond League........and drying my hair!
I do wish though that the BBC would give a little longer time to their Diamond League recordings.
It is so very rushed....sometimes there is not even a list of the competitors' names shown at the start of the race ...nor details of the winners at the end.
The commentator will tell you who is running .....and, in due course, who won...but there is no chance to see how well or otherwise any other competitors did, as there are no details posted up.
It is a poor do, I think.
Well done "the lad from Bury"....
I have a third cousin lives in Heywood, which is quite near Bury.
We have not yet met, as she only got in touch with me a few years ago, through "Friends Reunited".
We are in email and postal contact though.
BGT soon!

Good evening, Elle!
I would doubt that it is a BBC poroduction.
Probably bought in from someone else.
I have heard of Heywood!
Hope BGT is good tonight.
I am recording it!
Heavy rain and lightning in Orlando!

Hi, Rusty!
I am watching BGT, but on the ITV1+1 channel, as I wanted to finish my book first...so we are only fifty minutes into the show.....
I shall withhold comment until you have watched it for yourself.......but I am suffering somewhat!
Maybe it will improve?
I'm sorry about your son's bad weather...... thunder and lightning is not good holiday weather!
How long are they there for?
