Hi, Rusty!
Oh dear, Rusty...I think I may be going to disappoint you?
I can say that it was unusual...and perhaps skilful?....
But I didn't understand it, nor even really see the point of it.....
And I didn't much like it......
I wouldn't have put him through, let alone given him the Golden buzzer.
But we do all react in different ways, as we are always saying...
And obviously the audience and the judges liked him.
What did you really think?

Hello, Elle!
I am not sure what to make of it?
It was very good the way he made sounds but maybe a bit too deep for me, "connecting with Mother Earth".
I liked it, but could well be in a minority.
They liked him in Georgia, so maybe a cultural thing?
I would never have pressed the golden buzzer for him, but he was a refreshing change.

Sorry rusty. Thank you for the explantion, pages ago!

Good morning, Rosalind!
You are very welcome!

Good morning, Elle!
A Winter wonderland here!
Beautiful morning with snow on the ground.
Only an inch or so, so should not be a problem!
But it was not forecast for here.
So much for BBC Weather forecast, or the Met Office, if that's where they get the info from.
Just watching the skiing.
Lindsey Vonn has announced she will retire after the World's.
Her injuries have taken their toll on her.
Not a favourite of mine but she's one of the all-time greats.
Are you able to get out and about?

A Very Good morning to you, Rusty!
It is a beautiful morning here, too!
We had a covering of snow when I went to bed, but most of it has gone this morning.
Our pavements are icy though.
And the temperature is said to feel like minus 3!
Yes, I have been out and about for a couple of hours, walking the dog in the largest of the three parks within our locality.
Although only a mile away, there have been three inches of snow there!
The dog thought it was wonderful!
I have heard you mention Lindsey Vonn!
My friend in Calgary is just off on a skiing trip!
Did you get out for your paper?

Rusty, I know you don't do the Times Jumbo, but I thought you'd like this clue...

33 D. Brats and the like spouting nonsense (12)

I know you'll solve it, but keep the answer to yourself - in case it spoils it for anyone else.

I guess it depends on whether one is English or Scottish as to how one spells it...….
But the letter in question is not a 'crosser', so either way is acceptable!

Elle, isn't it a lovely word? Only one answer is acceptable....

Yes, you are right, Malone ... I didn't think it through...
You will have to be "English" for today!
