Hello, Elle!
Well done on getting most of them.
"Lo" is correct. Now you need a word for vessels that carries blood in the human body.
That will give you the answer to "displays of mutual affection"!
I have never came across any myself, mind you!

Good afternoon, Rusty!
Ah.....
I never thought of "cracks", as meaning "veins"......
Of course!
"Love -ins".......
No, I never came across any, either!
Do you think we have been deprived?
You say these happened in the 1960s?
I was just discovering the Beatles at that time!

Hello, Elle !
A vein can be a "fissure", Chambers reckons, so I suppose that is OK.
I think the hippies had their love-ins in and around Haight Ashbury, San Francisco.
Fairly sure it was the Sixties.
No we missed nothing, I don't think.
My spell checker came on, out of the blue, earlier.
I have found it and switched it off.
No idea why it came on.

Hi, Rusty!
I don't know anything about spell-checkers?
I obviously mustn't have one switched on......
Do they spell "American - wise" though?
Or can one set it to "British" English?
I am just off out (but briefly) with the dog.... a shame to waste all this sunshine!

Hello, Elle!
I found the settings for the spell-checker under "Language and input".
Yes, you can choose which English in my Chromebook, anyway.
There are other settings too, to do with "input".
Fairly straightforward, though.
My Chromebook did an update yestreen, so that may have had something to do with the spell-checker being on.
Plenty sunshine here, too!

Hi, Rusty!
I did not know how to find spell checker.....
But I shall not be tempted to investigate the Settings on my computer, lest I mess up the present arrangement!
My daughter organised everything for me......I had better not intervene!
(She won't be happy, if she has to come and bail me out!)
Now, Athletics!
I have been browsing my new TV guide.....
And there are the last two Diamond League events being shown on BBC1 tomorrow, at 1.15pm
I shall look forward to that!
I must plan my day to accommodate it, or, rather, them!!
Are you going to watch?

Hello, Elle!
Best leave well alone, if your computer is working away fine.
I was reading that Dina Asher-Smith ran a superb last leg in the relay.
It was on EuroSport last night.
I am not sure of tomorrow or Sunday.
Our Food and Flower Festival is on this weekend.
And I may be asked to go, or more likely, do a bit of taxiing!
Miss La Bamba and Mum have baked a cake for the competition.
I got an email from Emma at the loch telling me that Laddie was last seen on the 26th, so he is off on his migration.
She said, too, there have been quite a few ospreys sighted above the loch coming from the North and flying South on their migration
So we appear to have an increasing population of ospreys here.

Hi, Rusty!
Your Food and Flower Festival sounds really great.......
I am sure you will all enjoy going to that!
Didn't Miss L-B and your daughter-in -law win the cake competition last year?
I certainly remember them entering the event!
Fingers crossed that they do well this time around, too!
Where is the Show held?
Maybe you could record the Diamond Leagues if you are going to be out?
Yes, Dina Asher- Smith is brilliant!
I've just checked in my "Junk Box"...yes, I have an email from Emma, too!
Let us hope that Lassie, Laddie and the two chicks make it safely to Africa!
We'll hope to see Lassie and Laddie back here again next year!
We had food from the chippy tonight!
Very nice , too!

Hello, Elle!
They had large crowds at the Festival today.
Miss LB and her Gran, I think came third, but Miss O and Mum won it, if I remember correctly.
They used Miss LB's photo again this year.

It is held at Camperdown Park.
There was a sea battle of Camperdown and a grateful nation gave the park to Admiral Duncan who commanded the Navy at the battle.
Now it is a public park.
It is a 12 minute walk away from me.

Good evening Elle and Rusty!

Long time no 'see'! My fault really.

I was obviously on Emma's mailing list too as I received her long
update. I replied to that 'favourite moment comment', which for
me was when Lassie took her very first look at her first new born --
She looked to lovingly tender and as proud as any mother must
be!

And like you Rusty, Google decided to do an update on my
computer the other evening before I was allowed to switch off - and
like you it change things somewhat! In fact it put me in a right
mess! I could not find my mail box! what it had done, God only
knows why or how, is get rid of my normal email address, and switched instead to a second email address which I set up a few
years ago - this was for a particular purpose at the time and is no
longer needed, but I never got round to cancel it.

Anyway, it took me the best part of the day to manage and retrieve
my current email inbox! I was getting rather worried and
hopping mad!

I really fail to understand how they could possibly have done this
but my British friend who is a computer engineer told me (on
Skype) that it is quite often that things go wrong after one of their
update! Well, it was the first time for me, and I sure hope it will
be the last!

Apart from this, I am quite well - how are you both? I have more
or less kept in the picture via reading most of this thread, but
I may have missed something?
Hope you enjoy the show this week-end Rusty, they are great fun.

Are you not suppose to have BB as a guest for one night this
week-end Elle?
