Good morning, Rusty!

The hour is probably to allow the anaesthetic to take full effect, elle, and also to wait a while after to be sure you're OK.

I wish we could have some rain (none for about 2 weeks now)- accuweather had two times yesterday when the chance was over 60%, but it was sunny then.

Shall be so glad when there is something other than tennis on BBC. Are not one channel and red buttons etc enough?

Good morning, Elle!
Fine day here, though it was wet earlier.
I hope to see a bit of the tennis, too.
It was no horror story at the dental hospital, Elle.
Just a young girl learning her trade.

No, no bears today.
Should be good racing though.
The climbers will be licking their lips!
I am intrigued by the name of the ski station, though.
It translates as "The Board of the Beautiful Girls", I think.
Wonder why?
Hope the scenery is nice, too.

Hi, Rusty!
We are awaiting the plumber...he said he was coming between 10 am and noon.
He doesn't have much time left within his ETA!
We are not sure whether we have a leaky pipe or the dampness is caused by condensation......
We want the pipes checked out before we arrange for the builders to come and replaster and redecorate the area.
I hope he makes it before start of the tennis!
I am battling with the crossword today......is it particularly hard?
Or is it just me not grasping the essentials?

6d: psychobiography is a new word for me!





Never mind , Ros......take heart......only a few more days to go and
Wimbledon fortnight will be over for another year!
Then you will get your programmes back!

Good afternoon, Elle!
Hope your plumber comes soon.
Could be help up on another job though....it happens.
I was not completely in sync with today's setter.
It took me a while to finish it!
Never heard of psychobiography, too!

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, the plumber turned up eventually!
Fortunately, we do not have a leak in the suspect pipes...and he is going to give us a quote to enlarge the shower cubicle in our second bathroom........
So it is all stations go!

Then my daughter phoned on her way home from work......so we have just been having a nice chat!
How is the cycling going today?
The mountain scenery will have been splendid.

Cycling was good, as was my son's visit.
Yes, a beautiful part of France.
I enjoyed it!

Good evening, Rusty!
I am glad you and your son had a good time together.

The first Men's Doubles Semi-final that I watched was excellent, though.......neither side deserved to lose!

Time now for a coffee before I do my next job!
