2:29 am

FMitch

That would be fun Ata, I have 5 sitting waiting for my attention. Since I stated working for myself such things went out the window.

2:29 am

metaleather

fl5/20 think of birds on the wing... birds in ***** and vary the spelling

2:30 am

Atalante

same here FM! I buy cross-stitch patterns, fully intending to do them, and just create a bigger nad bigger pile ready to sew

2:33 am

metaleather

then, build up

2:33 am

FMitch

Mine are more free stye Ata - using dyes and applique and embriodery.

I would love to go but it is always on in November - the busiest month of my year. I went to one in Belfast this year though

2:53 am

FMitch

I find the one at the NEC is a bit too much and that there are may equally good, slightly smaller events around the UK

2:54 am

candy

Maybe some year I will be well enough organised to go - as a special treat.

Good morning all. I wondered why I was coming out in a rash, then read back in the log to realise you were talking about needlework. I'm severely allergic.

If I had a moustache, I would be twirling it!

Hi jean and jilli and candy and flask et al!

3:09 am

mrpresident

and Haz!!! I missed seeing you there buddy!! sorry

3:09 am

Haz1558

I blame the rash on my needlework teachers at school. The number of times my attempts were ripped out....

3:09 am

Haz1558

It's okay mrpresident!

3:10 am

mrpresident

oh I like your flower jilli!

3:10 am

FMitch

Ahh, my needlework teacher Miss Fro - "Girls, where are your thimbles?"

3:11 am

Haz1558

It was an early form of torture for me. I did overcome the phobia as far as knitting was concerned, but needlework still consists of stitching the stuffing in the Christmas turkey.

3:12 am

jillibus

thanks, mrp -- and fireworks!

3:12 am

mrpresident

yay jilli!

3:12 am

jean1953

wtg jillibus

3:13 am

same for me, Haz. I loathed needlework at school. But we didn't do cross-stitch at school, so that didn't get included in the hatred!

3:13 am

Haz1558

Congratulations jillibus!

3:13 am

jillibus

and so to bed, wondering what I'll do tomorrow!

3:13 am

Not really, candy, at least not here. My girls were never introduced to the joys of embroidery stitches and gingham aprons.

3:14 am

mrpresident

they do at my kids school, they make needlework bookmarks

3:15 am

Atalante

they do in at least some schools

3:16 am

Haz1558

I'm sure the teachers are kinder now.

3:16 am

I haven't heard any of my 'little' friends mention it

3:17 am

Haz - I believe your daughter is in my local primary school - well done to her - sometimes placements don't happen that quickly

3:17 am

Flask1

3:17 am

mrpresident

I am teaching Maddison to knit... she loves it! and they do french knitting at school (whatever that is)

3:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, candy - she was very fortunate in that she had left her CV in and the school contacted her regarding the maternity leave that was coming available. She is enjoying it and is full of stories about the children.

3:19 am

candy

Not too far from home either.

3:19 am

FMitch

Thats good news Haz, sounds like things are going well for her

3:20 am

oh, no metal, it's short for ornithopter

3:51 am

ahh, just wondered if there was another McCaffrey fan around

3:51 am

Ornith

Used to be one. Kinda ran out of books sometime in high school

3:51 am

metaleather

I've been thinking about going back and rereading some

3:53 am

metaleather

and perhaps some of the Marion Zimmer Bradley books as well

3:54 am

Ornith

I have a feeling a lot of those books are a lot better when you're in high school than if you reread them again later

3:55 am

mrpresident

ok, I have ordered.....
Fish Cakes
BBQ Octopus
Green Curry Chicken
Peanut Sauce Chicken Wok Stirfry w Bok Choy, Chinese Cabbage & Broccoli, Mushroom and Baby Corn
Duck Chilli w Basil Snow Peas, Capsicum, Mushroon and Basil Leaves

3:55 am

metaleather

probably so, but it's been so long since I've read them I kind of miss the old familiar ones... just as I do my CJ Cherryh juvenile faves

3:55 am

mmmmmm....peanut sauce

Ornith

hear hear, metal! Also the chopping bit needs to be lots faster

3:58 am

metaleather

I agree Ornith... it's never as easy for me as it is for Emeril or Rachel or Mario

3:59 am

Ornith

well, part of it is having really sharp knives. makes all the difference in the world.

3:59 am

Ornith

but I think they teach them how to do it at cooking school... when I try to mince stuff it goes all over the plce

3:59 am

metaleather

true

3:59 am

Ornith

er, place

4:00 am

metaleather

I end up with big hunks of things...

4:00 am

Ornith

how are there that many words that start with w+consonant!?

4:01 am

Haz1558

Use the sometimes vowel.

4:01 am

metaleather

it's the con. that is "sometimes a vowel"

4:01 am

Ornith

oh, I figured that, but even so.

4:01 am

FMitch

It is a little mind boggling isn't it Ornith

4:02 am

Ornith

although actually this one isn't as bad as I keep thinking it is, I'm halfway already.

4:02 am

metaleather

I"m off to go practice code a while, be back later on

FranMag

Haz1558

Any Edinburgh visitors will recognise wy4/11 and wy5/24 and ER fans will know Mr Wy4/10

4:11 am

FranMag

haz, thanks for the wy4/11 and wy5/24, there are also two that sound like a victory

4:12 am

FranMag

(and victories)

4:12 am

Haz1558

And the remaining sy4/10 looks like it would appear on a mediaeval painter's colour card.

4:12 am

Haz1558

wy4/10 that should be.

4:13 am

FMitch

Time for me to be off. Happy Babbling and enjoy the day.

4:14 am

FranMag

Haz1558

Bye FMitch - I'll head off shortly as well.

4:16 am

PappouTed

hi everyone, much smaller grid today, but how difficult is it?

4:16 am

Ornith

easier than it looks, but that's not saying much

4:17 am

Haz1558

Hello Pappou - it's not too bad, more normal words than you might expect combined with a few head-scratch-worthy ones.

4:18 am

PappouTed

I can see that right away with the ac4

4:19 am

PappouTed

ah, found it

4:19 am

FranMag

hi penny!

4:19 am

JFB

Morning everyone - and a lovely sunny warm morning it is. Clue for du4.7 please?

4:21 am

FranMag

hi jfb! don't have that yet

4:21 am

Ornith

jfb, ummm.... rhymes with a woman's name.

4:22 am

Ornith

unfortunately the dictionary doesn't have a meaning for it!

4:22 am

PappouTed

du plus I live in the country not a __ty

4:22 am

FranMag

have it now, du + anagram of frozen water minus the e

4:23 am

JFB

Not a bad grid - with a combination of some obvious ones, monkeying, guessing and a lot of help from the chat log I'm down to 12 to get.

4:23 am

FranMag

it probably has something to do with the du5/16, same root i'm thinking

4:24 am

Haz1558

The du5/16 is quite noble in its association.

4:24 am

Andree

good evening eveyone, such a small grid after the last few

4:24 am

JFB

Thanks FranMag - a satisfying number of grey boxes now.

4:24 am

Haz1558

Hello Andree - yes, a bit of a change.

4:24 am

FranMag

nice flowers haz!

4:25 am

Ragalla

4:25 am

FranMag

4:26 am

PappouTed

not there yet

4:26 am

JFB

Think swash-bucling films Ragalla - rhymes with a word for dogs

4:26 am

Haz1558

Ragalla - it's an old fashioned exclamation. If it started with h, it would relate to dogs, if it started with s it would relate to noise

4:26 am

FranMag

thanks jfb!

4:26 am

Andree

and i am babysitting 2x2 year old grandchildren tomorrow so maybe finish tonight

4:26 am

Ornith

ragalla, shakespearean curse... short for God's w*****

4:28 am

JFB

I'm having difficulty with the li's - only got the last one.

4:29 am

Haz1558

li4/4 and 5/10 are shortened versions of what is now known as floor vinyl.

4:29 am

PappouTed

4:29 am

Ragalla

anyone got the le?

4:29 am

Haz1558

The first two are fomed with an old fashioned pub/hotel

4:30 am

PappouTed

rhymes with what you walk with

4:30 am

Haz1558

na5/14 - a lady who looks after children, Mary Poppins being the best known example.

4:30 am

JFB

Thanks Haz.

4:30 am

PappouTed

4:31 am

PappouTed

4:32 am

FranMag

ragalla, college-ruled paper is li**

4:32 am

Haz1558

The last li is descriptive of non-plain writing paper and ends in the sometimes vowel

4:32 am

Ragalla

ampersand

I need help with un's. I've got one of the 4 letter ones, and the other three are the only words I have left.

ampersand, un6/24 means having a curved or rounded shape (also the name of a curvy font), kind of sounds like your mother's brother

5:08 am

FranMag

take off a letter at a time for the 5 and 4

5:08 am

FranMag

yw andree!

5:10 am

FranMag

Andree

it took me a while to get my head around finishing big grids too

5:17 am

I nearly choked with that 392

5:18 am

Andree

when they are huge like 392, i just do what I can in the time i have

5:19 am

metaleather

5:20 am

metaleather

If noone needs any clues, I'm headed out for the day. Time for me to get to bed.

5:20 am

6:17 am

Scrabbler

AHA! Got it. TY

6:18 am

Jacula

Scrabbler - British thanks could be described as a child's way of saying 'thank you'.

2:43 pm

Ankhorite

MVA, CATH, you both say "Wales" in country line, so why doesn't MVA's flag work? Hmmm. Hmmm. MVA, did you click "display profile" or "show profile" or whateverit is? Haz, Lynxx, Angb...thanks!!!

It's okay - quite a few normalish words with the odd few thrown in to keep the brain cells working.

2:45 pm

Ankhorite

2:46 pm

Haz1558

du4/6 has more than one twosome

Biltong

How do I find my flag, Ankh?

2:48 pm

MVA

i have selected wales, but i don't know why the dragon doesn't show

2:48 pm

Haz1558

du4/7 - almost Mussolini's title but different vowel ending. Or first three letters of the quacking bird followed by a vowel.

2:49 pm

Haz1558

MVA - have you clicked 'update profile'?

2:49 pm

evanonut

thanks haz

2:49 pm

Ankhorite

Biltong, you may have the same problem as MVA. You have UK in your country -- so I thought it would appear automagically. When you look at "My Account" did you click "show profile" ? Also, if you do check it, and click "update profile", then refresh when you come back here, see if that makes a difference.

2:50 pm

MVA

haz, i haven't updated

2:51 pm

Ankhorite

Aha, well, add a space or something, make sure "show" is checked off, and hit update... anybody have clues for un5?
