Hi, Rusty!
I am taking a few minutes break......
It is one set all to Novak and Roberto Batausta - Agut .
It looks sunnier at Wimbledon than it is here.
The umpire stopped the match for a short time, because someone nearby in the crowd collapsed, and had to be assisted off court by two paramedics, before the game could resume.
The commentators were speculating that the illness might be caused by the humidity?
Are you watching the tennis at all?
Or concentrating solely on the cycling?
The next Semi between Rafa and Roger should be riveting!
Oops, play is resuming......

Good afternoon, Elle!
I am watching golf and le Tour.
May catch some tennis later.
Seems to be quite warm today.
Nobody home at the loch!

Yet another Adam Yates pick! A pity he got yesterday wrong...

Hi, Rusty!
We have sunshine at last!
It is going to be a lovely evening here.....
Novak won his match!
Apart from his dropping the second set (when his game really seemed to go off, just as his opponent upped his ) it was pretty easy sailing.
The Rafa v Roger match is really gripping......
Roger has just taken the first set...but only after it went to a tie-break!
You are missing some great tennis!
I hope you get a chance to look in, in between watching the cycling and the golf.



Hello, Chris!
The tennis is good, too!

Good morning, Elle!
A fine breezy morning here!
Had an earlier walk on the Nature Trail.
Had it all to myself today.
Puzzle complete.
Fairly straightforward, I thought.
Now, time for an ice cream!

Good morning, Rusty!
It is a lovely day here, too.
Yes, I also have finished the crossword, albeit just two that I cannot parse.
But I will work on those!
It is a very nice puzzle today.......not too hard for me!
A friend has sent me a clip this morning from America's Got Talent.
It very surprisingly is showing cats performing tricks!
It is from May, last year.....

At least it is unusual!
I shall watch Simona Halep play Serena Williams later...
No prizes for guessing who I am supporting!
What are your plans for the day?

Hello, Elle!
The cats were the biz!
I had seen them before.
I often explore the "Talent" shows around the world!
Yes, it was last year.
I noticed Tyra Banks was still on the show, then.
Not sure if Howie is still on it.
I am going out for a wee while after my dinner and then will watch the golf and the cycling when I come home.
Watched young Dr Muir earlier, in the 800 metres.
She ran a PB, and came third, and beat Lynsey Sharp!
So....a canny day for me!
The nest was empty again earlier.
The chicks will be learning to fish!

Thanks for the cats, elle - I've forwarded them to a couple of people!

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, there are several different clips of the cats .....that one was from the very first audition.
I have never thought to teach my cats actual "tricks".
Although they are very intelligent and quick to respond.
One of my cats always used to go and get a duster, whenever I said I was going to clean the bedrooms......
She would then carry it up the stairs in her mouth!
Another used to rush to answer the telephone.....she would scoop the receiver off the hook and then miaow loudly down the phone!
She also used to stand legs wide part in the hall and growl at incomers!
Who needs a dog?!
I have recorded the DL Highlights to watch later at leisure.
It does not say in my TV guide where the Athletics events are being held?
Right.....I must go now and wash my hair before the tennis matches start......
Enjoy your walk!



You are welcome, Chris!
There are several more clips of those, and other, cats on YouTube......
The young woman said that she was training ten cats and one dog!

Hello, Elle!
There were three athletics meetings on the EuroSport channels last night, so if I say Laura raced at Monaco, it is only a guess!
I had a quick look at the tennis but it was Tracy Austin chatting to Sue Barker just.
I only took the long way round to Asda, not a real walk!
Why dont you save YouTube to your favourites and you can explore to your heart's content?
It is the second most visited site on the internet.
Google search, is the most visited.
