Grandchildren fed, read to, bathed, teeth done and asleep this last hour. I'm exhausted!

Hi, Rusty!
The four contestants to go through to next week "Voice" Final are now decided!
I would have chosen three out of the four...so am quite pleased by the voting result.
I guess it is possible that either BGT or The Voice might be repeated on Sunday, so I could maybe watch one of the programmes then.
I usually record "Casualty" (on BBC1) on a Saturday evening, and watch the other show live.
I can only record one programme at a time.
Yes, you will be busy with the Grand National being on, too!




Hello, Ros!
You may be exhausted...but I am sure you have had a great time with the children!
And are they staying with you all day tomorrow , too?

Hello, Elle!
I imagine both the shows will be repeated on the Sunday.
ITV has several channels, so I'm fairly sure you can see both programmes.
I'll have a look tomorrow.
BGT seems to be early this year.
Usually May it starts, I think.

Hi elle

No, the children will be going home well before lunch. Perhaps there's a special one for mother's day

Good morning, Rusty!
Did you remember to put your clocks forward an hour?
It was dull, dark and raining, when I got up.........
I have not been out yet!
I think the plan is to go out for longer, later.......probably in the early afternoon.
Are you and the girls still heading off to the Pine Cone?
Right…... coffee coming up....and I shall take a look at the Everyman.......

Good morning, Elle!
Beautiful frosty morning here!
Should warm up, I think.
I put my clocks forward yestreen.
The young ones and me will try the Pine Cone but were warned it will be busy, if we can't get a seat, we will come back to ASDA cafe.
The cafe is quite good.
There is a new restaurant not far from me, but there was a piece in the local paper about folk complaining that their chicken dish contained claws and feathers.
So we won't be going there!

Hi, Rusty!
Still wet here...that wasn't supposed to be on the agenda!
I have been talking on the phone all morning to my children (and grandchildren).
They have all been ringing to wish me a Happy Mother's Day!
It is a shame that we cannot go out as originally planned , but we can do that in a couple of weeks, instead.
Meanwhile, I can eat my chocolates and look at my lovely flowers.......
I may have missed you by now........and you may be on the way to the Pine Cone with Misses O and O'H.
Yes, I should give the 'claws and feathers' a miss (at least they are obviously offering the "real deal" though!)
Have a good time!

Good afternoon, Elle!
How is your day going?
We had a good time at Pine Cone.
It was busy.
I've been watching the bike racing from Belgium.
It was interesting to see them race through the Menin Gate and Ypres.
And to see the Hooge crater and the cemeteries.
Unfortunately the commentators knew little about it.
I like the racing in Flanders, with all the history there.
The "claw and feathers" is at a brand new restaurant.
Getting bad stories in the newspapers could easily kill it off!
Plenty other places to eat!

Good afternoon, Rusty!
My day is going very nicely, thank you, Rusty!
I had a pleasant relaxing morning.....talking to both my daughters and my son on the phone.... and, of course, doing the crosswords.
Today's Everyman was quite a good one.... rather on the difficult side, and offering up a bit more challenge.
And then this afternoon, we have been out for an enjoyably long walk.
The day perked up after the early rain.....and, although a tad chilly, it has been a sunny afternoon.
I did entertain somewhat murderous thoughts in the park, though.....
A very annoying man was encouraging his dog to chase the baby goslings and their parents...….
He enticed his dog into the water........and then filmed him chasing the birds!
I very nearly pushed him into the lake to join his dog!
I am still living on previous time........I did not like the dark 'early' morning today!!

Good evening, Elle!
That was a good day you had, apart from the pest in the park!
You wonder what goes on in these folks' heads?
Which ITV channel do you get?
Up here I get STV and they are repeating BGT, and The Voice, on Sunday afternoon.
Your station may do the same?
I prefer the lighty nights, or as we say, the "lichty nichts"!
The "ch" sounds as in "loch".
Can you say it?
