Good afternoon, Elle!
We went to the Pine Cone Cafe, on the Christmas tree plantation.
Was grand!. Smashing bacon rolls and nice friendly service! 10 out of 10!
And Miss L Plate even let me pay!
She is now off to get hair and make up done for the school dance this evening.
She had her nails done this morning!

Good afternoon, Pigale!

Hi, Rusty!
You just caught me as we are about to take the dog out for a second walk! The day has brightened considerably and we now have sunshine and blue skies!
I'm glad you enjoyed your bacon roll ( how is the crown surviving?)
It was very good of Miss L-Plate to let you pay!!!!
Is this her School Leavers dance? I hope she enjoys herself? Is there a boyfriend in the offing?
When you come to do your Times crossword today ,you will see that there is a topical clue for you (again!) We were only speaking of it earlier.....
And I used Anne B to parse 27A ! she's coming in very useful!
Must go - catch you later......

Hi rusty
I'm watching the golf - it looks like they are playing on and amongst slag heaps (and that includes the greens). Seriously silly!

Jimmy Walker seems to be striking it well - did you back him? Spieth also looks in control of his game.

Chris, the course looks awful!
No, I have Spieth, Furyk and Fowler, all e/w.
Also have Monty to make the cut (for old times sake!).
The course is built on an old gravel pit, and it shows.
Fowler almost holed in one at a par 4 yesterday for an albatross. Missed the hole by an inch!
He is 11 over though.

Yes, they showed that in the build-up.

Spieth looks to be a very good bet.

Spieth is a fine young player.
A future star, I think.
Jack Nicklaus speaks highly of him, not only for his golf, but he is extremely polite, too.

Yes - future World No.1 (and possibly not too distant, either).

He does seem to come across very well in interviews, but most of them do - are they coached? Spieth does seem to be genuine, though (unlike, say, Reed!)

I would think their sponsors would insist on them coming over well. The young ones are all very articulated and polite.
Jack Nicklaus said Jordan Spieth calls all the older golfers "sir".
Changed days!
Arnold Palmer used to get annoyed with Ben Hogan, who would not call him by name.
Hogan always called Arnie " feller"!

Elle, my crown is perfect.
Yes, it is the school leavers dance. At Carnoustie.
No sign of a boyfriend, so far!
I will get a forewarning about one, to ensure I am on my bestest behaviour!
She told me it was £25 to get her nails done!
Yes, I see the clue. I am still awaiting "red button", though!
Yes, Anne B is excellent!

Hi, Rusty!
A lovely evening here! I hope it's like that for Miss L-Plate's dance? She wouldn't want to get windblown or wet en route! Have you been pressed into chauffeuring or does her Dad get to do that?
Fathers' Day this Sunday.... are you and your sons, plus grandkids, all getting together to celebrate it?
We are meeting up tomorrow, instead of Sunday, with our younger daughter and family. This is because she and a few work colleagues are going to Germany on Sunday (until Wednesday) for a work project and some meetings. No harm in celebrating a day early!
I shall go to the crematorium on Sunday with flowers for my Dad.
Will have to record Day One of the European Team Championship Athletics as we shall be out tomorrow whilst it's on.
