Hi, Rusty!
Yes, that's right... the 'original' J-cloth is so called because it was made by Johnson and Johnson.
Sorry.....I omitted to answer earlier, when you asked me that!
No, unfortunately, we shan't see BB in his race, as it is rather a way off....down in Kent.
My daughter is working there as a volunteer tomorrow, which is how BB came to be taking part in a race so far away.
He is coming over here on Sunday, though, so will tell us all about it then!

Hello, Elle!
ASDA do not sell J-cloths.
I had a look on-line when I came home after not seeing any in the store.

I am sure that my daughter will take photos, if she herself is able to watch the race.
I am not sure just where - or for what race - she will be working as a volunteer.

The BBC is showing it from 1.15pm..... there is only an hour's viewing, so presumably only Highlights?
I was going to mention it to you, but forgot.
Re the osprey eggs...this long delay bodes ill.......
I fear that the first egg laid, at least, in not going to hatch......

Hello, Elle!
Is this your feminine logic at work here?

I'll ask my grandson on Monday.
I think the Doha coverage on Eurosport was fairly brief, too.
I am beginning to wonder if any of the eggs will hatch?

Hi, Rusty!
Ah, it is like "hoovering".....
Now we all say we will "hoover" or get the "hoover"..... even when the machine might happen to be a "Dyson" or a whatever!
This is the same thing!
'Lookalike' cleaning cloths have come to be regarded as "J-cloths", even if made by Tesco!
Trust me.....!
Did you think of getting washing up liquid and tea towels?
Your son and his girlfriend might need those if offering drinks to the workmen and helpers.
And of course the occasional mug?
I shall set the recorder for the Doha Diamond League, although I am expecting to be here to watch it at the time.

Hello, Elle!
I don't say "hoover", I never have.

No tea towels, though.
Would the kitchen towels do, d'ye think?

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, you could use paper towels...but I dare say a couple of tea towels would not go amiss?
Now.....

Not sure if they are allowed to or not, with hygiene in mind?
