one morning a few years back, after a stormy night, I opened the inside back door to see the top of a huge tree just past the screen, it had fallen the whole length of the back yard and luckily didn't come through the door or land on the house - that was scary.
2:17 am
rbud

we had some piles of firewood for our campfires that year! it was a giant old tree.
2:18 am
rbud

don't know how we slept through the boom it must have made when it went down!
2:18 am
grannyrose

the most major drama we fa4 where i live, is bushfires. we live in the foothills of the dandenong ranges, and my son and his wife live in the ranges. every year some idiot decides that he wants to watch the pretty lights and listen to the sirens as fire trucks race out to put out yet another deliberately lit fire.
2:20 am
rbud

oh, I hate fires! seems every little bit there is a huge one somewhere. this has been a very dry summer, too, here - is it dry there, also?
2:20 am
grannyrose

so many homes and lives lost each year because of sickoes like this. i just cannot understand how their minds work.
2:21 am

I cringe when I see a passing car throw out a cigarette butt!
2:21 am

2:21 am

no, rbud, dry is not a word i wold use for our crrent weather. but as the weather warms up, you can bet yor last dollar on the rapidity of groth in the scrubland and national parks around here.

I have been in my newish hosue for 6 m onths now, so I started moving furnoture and things round yesterday
2:43 am
Glantarell

total chaoes surrounds me LOL

black bottom tomatoes can have blossom-end rot. The soil needs calcium--I'm trying Tums ground up but I think calcium pills would work also.
2:43 am
sprite

oh nice! That is always so rewarding.
2:44 am
rubyfoo

I'm tempted to do what they do in working-class NY neighborhoods, they pave over the grass and paint the cement green!
2:44 am
Glantarell

not bl;ack bottoms, just brown patches, fruits are all plump and shiny
2:44 am
Marais

OK
2:44 am
sprite

if you do that, ruby, make sure you make little holes in the cement so you can stick in the plastic flowers....
2:44 am
rubyfoo

can you salvage some and make sauce (unless they're too squishy)
2:44 am
Glantarell

it will be rewarding when it's all tidy again sprite - as long as I don;t lose the will to live half way through
2:45 am
rubyfoo

and maybe a plastic flamingo or two
2:45 am
Glantarell

i've picked the green ones and they are on a tray on the widowsill in the vague hope thye ay turn red if we ever get any sun
2:45 am
sprite

*giggles* It has to get worse for it to get better, Glant... you will be fine... and you'll be enjoying your new placement of the furniture so much.
2:45 am
Marais

OK, my tomatoes have something different. Our lack of rain in NJ hasn't helped.
2:45 am
grannyrose

lol, sprite, yuck!!!! and ruby!!! don't you dare!!!
2:45 am
Glantarell

som concrete gnomes would just finish that off nicely
2:45 am
sprite

oh yes, let's not forget the plastic flamingos!
2:46 am
rubyfoo

maybe green tomato chutney (I've never made it, but I've had it and it's delish)
2:46 am
rubyfoo

I forgot about the gnomes!
2:46 am
sprite

this is a decidedly unfriendly grid. Not even halfway and already out of steam. What... out of any kind of forward movement actually.
2:46 am
Glantarell

black bottoms - according to my book - are bottom end rot, caused bu lack of water. No cure.
2:46 am
grannyrose

hey, don't under-rate the gnomes!!!! all the best gardens have plaster gnomes in them! don't they? huh? don't they?
2:47 am
sprite

don't the gnomes come in plastic too nowadays? WOuld be nice... so easy to spray clean.
2:47 am
Glantarell

thought of green tomato chutney but there are not enough - i only have about 20 small tomatoes
2:47 am
rubyfoo

don't laugh, but we have a plastic heron in the fishpond which seems to be keeping the real predator away! and he's in with the reeds, so actually looks nice
2:47 am
Glantarell

i have 55 and am struggling sprite - not friendly at all
2:48 am
sprite

I have seen the heron and it is really life-like. No shame there. :)
2:48 am
grannyrose

which reminds me....anyone here seen the film ' fried green tomatoes' ?
2:48 am
sprite

let's shake the grid and see if we can make better combinations, Glant!
2:48 am
Glantarell

i saw it a LONG time ago - heart warmong
2:48 am
sprite

sorry, no I have not, rose
2:48 am
rubyfoo

loved that movie, rose.
2:49 am
Glantarell

ready when you are sprite - got a corner?
2:49 am
rubyfoo

maybe you could bread them and fry them, glant, would be tasty as a side dish
2:49 am
sprite

one.... two.... three.... AND HEAVE!
2:49 am
grannyrose

what a movie! sprite, yo just have to join the sisterhood and watch it.
2:49 am
sprite

ok rose! Writing it down so I can remember.
2:49 am
rubyfoo

I am saving "Marigold" for when DIL comes in Sept as she knows how to work the TV and I don't
2:50 am
Glantarell

fried green tomatoes at the (something) cafe was the whole title - wish i could remember the name of the cafe LOL
2:50 am
Glantarell

what's Marigold about?
2:50 am
Glantarell

whistle stop cafe?
2:50 am
rubyfoo

whistle stop cafe
2:50 am
grannyrose

okay. Don is wandering in and out of the kitchen, looking hopefully at the stove, to see if dinner is on yet. which it isn't! for gosh sakes...it's only 5:50pm....
2:51 am
Glantarell

shaking hasn't helped much sprite
2:51 am
sprite

lol... I think Dan needs to cook today then.
2:51 am
Glantarell

we should have thrown a couple more letters when we did it...
2:51 am
sprite

no it hasn't, Glant :( Stubborn little darn tiles...
2:51 am
grannyrose

oh, glant, ' the best exotic marigold hotel' has to be one of the best movies of recent release.
2:51 am
rubyfoo

it is a wonderful movie about a group of English retirees who go to India because their pensions are too small to live decently in the UK. Judi Dench, Bill Nishy, Maggie Smith, etc. I can't wait (but will have to :(
2:51 am
Glantarell

who is in it?
2:52 am
rubyfoo

Nighy*
2:52 am
Glantarell

oh, that sounds GOOD - great cast list
2:52 am
rubyfoo

Bill Nighy and Judi Dench are two of my most favorites
2:52 am
Glantarell

i must see if i can rent it - or maybe watch it with my daughter in a few weeks
2:53 am
sprite

both written down
2:53 am
Glantarell

Judi Dench is just fabulous
2:53 am
rubyfoo

did anybody see Love, Actually where Bill Nighy plays an old rock star (patterned on Iggy Pop, I think) and is an absolute hoot!
2:53 am
Glantarell

and Maggie Smith was wonderful in the Prime of Miss Jean brodie
2:53 am
grannyrose

ruby, Don and i watched it again 2 weeks ago. we still got something more out of it. it is one of those films, the more you watch, the more you see.
2:53 am
Glantarell

Saw Love, Actually, not bad
2:54 am
rubyfoo

and in the Room with a View!
2:54 am
sprite

baco = baccardi-cola. Stupid enable.
2:54 am
grannyrose

oh, yes, ruby
2:54 am
rubyfoo

although it was a little bit sappy, it had a great ending and I am not sufficiently critical!
2:55 am
Glantarell

An old film I love is 'A Matter of Life and Death' made by Powell and Pressburger, starring David Niven - innovative use of colour when colour films were just starting to be made
2:55 am
rubyfoo

I've seen Room With a View at least 4 times and like it better each time
2:55 am
rubyfoo

don't know it, glant, making a note
2:55 am
Glantarell

Room with a view was a very good film
2:55 am
sprite

finally halfway. Pffff.
2:56 am
Glantarell

P & P also made The Red Shoes, Black narcissus and a n umber of other classic films of the 40s & 50s, any film they made is worth a watch
2:56 am
grannyrose

ooohhhh, forgot to tell yo all. mother mac's daugter is taking her for the weekend. picking her up friday night and bringing her back sunday. Don and i are planning to go out for lunch/dinner and a movie.
2:57 am

<-- loved The Red Shoes -- Moira Shearer
2:57 am
Glantarell

a night of romance, eh?
2:57 am
rubyfoo

2:57 am

2:59 am
sprite

DH is very lucky to have her. I like it that he shows appreciation :)
3:00 am
Glantarell

I wnet through a phase of that. I started to do quiet creative stuff with the extra hours. Now it's 6am.
3:00 am
sprite

very early, Jayk. Not a bad time of day though. So pleasantly peaceful.
3:00 am
Jayk

he doesn't seem to very often
3:01 am
grannyrose

now, i really do have to * poof *. love, hugs and kisses to all.
3:01 am
sprite

it is always hard to judge a relationship from the outside. The only people who really know are the ones inside of it.
3:01 am
Glantarell

bye rose
3:01 am
Jayk

yes actually i do love having four hours or so to myself--especially in the dark, oddly
3:01 am
sprite

bye rose *hugs!* Take care of you.
3:02 am

true sprite. just going by what ruby says
3:02 am
sprite

I visited them and they are bo4 beautiful people.
3:02 am
Glantarell

she has sounded happier of late
3:03 am
Glantarell

this grid is turning into less of a word search and more of a logic puzzle
3:03 am
sprite

I really wish for her to be happy :)
3:05 am
sprite

I think I am gonna use the clue list today. I am at 76 and so so stumped.
3:05 am
Glantarell

I am at 67 and listed at 65. It's not helping much LOL
3:05 am
sprite

lolllll ok.... here goes nothing then!
3:07 am
Glantarell

actually the list does mean that the monkeys have some parameters
3:07 am
Glantarell

but how thee are 4 letter words i can't find, i don;t know
3:08 am
Jayk

how dispiriting! i'm just starting and it's looking like a sweet cruise
3:08 am
sprite

poor lil' monkeys
3:08 am
Glantarell

the little monkeys are having to work very hard indeed today
3:08 am
sprite

Jayk, maybe you will sail right through!
3:09 am
Glantarell

different minds see different things - i have had grids i thought were easy where others struggled, and vice versa
3:09 am
Jayk

that seems exceedingly doubtful.
3:09 am
sprite

same here, Glant. I have felt stupid very often in babble, lol.
3:11 am
Glantarell

i think i will find it hard to find today's big words as they are somewhat isolated
3:11 am
Jayk

remember that 744? (may we never again!) that took all day
3:12 am
Glantarell

i've never seen one bigger than the high 300s
3:12 am
sprite

but it was a wonderful day. Great chat, great grid. Good challenge :)
3:12 am
Glantarell

hah! finally found the ag4 i've been looking for LOL
3:12 am
Jayk

and wasn't there an 8 about a year ago?
3:13 am
Glantarell

800?
3:13 am
Glantarell

missed that too
3:13 am
sprite

no, nothing below 20 is accepted, as far as I know.
3:14 am
sprite

I found the biggies! Do you want a clue?
3:14 am
Glantarell

yes please
3:14 am
sprite

no, the 744 was the biggest ever
3:15 am
Jayk

no an actual 8. as in 7 + 1
3:15 am
sprite

ac9/10 combo, think fear of heights.
3:15 am
Glantarell

8, now that would be very disappointing
3:15 am
sprite

there is a minimum size for the grids to be accepted. I believe it is set at 20.
3:16 am
Glantarell

*tries to squish 'vertigo' into ac9*
3:16 am
Jayk

really? I could swear I remember an 8
3:16 am
sprite

*giggles* You need the more official name, Glant. Ending in the greek word for 'fear'.
3:17 am
sprite

I don't think so, Jayk, but I could be wrong.
3:17 am
Glantarell

*runs off to greek dictionary*
3:17 am
Jayk

in my experience, you are rarely--or never--wrong
3:18 am
sprite

roflollllll can I please quote you on that to my teenagers? :D :D
3:18 am
Jayk

feel free!
3:19 am
sprite

Glant: think fear of spiders - arachna~. Fear of people who love people from the same sex - homo~. Etc.
3:19 am
Glantarell

got it
3:20 am
Glantarell

ty
3:20 am

good :) Do you know the summit of ac10?
3:21 am
sprite

it is being afraid to eat your soup from a soup plate.
3:21 am
Glantarell

really? people are afraid of that?
3:21 am
sprite

*giggles* No... that was a (bad) joke.
3:23 am
Glantarell

which i would only get if i had the ac10...
3:23 am
Dachef

The best ph6 of all time: Anatidae-- which is, and I am not making this up, the fear that somewhere a duck is always watching you.
3:23 am

ROFLMAO dachef
3:23 am

lol yes I heard of that one. Brilliant, Dachef :)
3:24 am

3:24 am
Dachef

obvious apologies to any babblers currently hiding behind their sofa worried about the impending appearance of a mallard.
3:24 am
sprite

and Hexakosioihexekontahexa~ is also a fun one. Fear of the number 666.
3:24 am
sprite

oh I am not making fun of the fears. Just of the names. Being deeply afraid is not fun at all.
3:24 am
Dachef

stopped raining here Glan, momentarily. Oh no, wait, its raining again.
3:25 am
Glantarell

mallards are fine. It's mandarins that scare me...
3:25 am
Dachef

sprite: I'll remember that one for scrabble.
3:25 am

it won't fit, lol
3:26 am
sprite

lol Glant... the chinese ones or the orange ones?
3:26 am
Glantarell

any/all
3:27 am
sprite

:D That is severe. Maybe eating the duck one with the orange one in company of a Chinese one might bring about a cure?
3:28 am
Glantarell

that sounds like aversion therapy - willing to give it a go if you'll come and hold my hand while i do it
3:28 am

3:33 am

rain now so heavy it is drumming on the patio
3:33 am

because it will look better there :) Good luck, dear Glant.
3:33 am

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out 'til quarter to three, would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?

You'll be older too
Ah, and if you say the word, I could stay with you

I could be handy, mending a fuse when your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings, go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/beatles-
lyrics/when-i_m-64-lyrics.html ]
Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight if it's not to, dear
We shall scrimp and save
Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck and Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?

10:57 am

when the piano was moved out of here, a bit of the flooring (at the entry) went with it - so forced to get new which is needed anyway, just can't decide
10:57 am

new flooring sounds exciting :)
10:57 am

We wallpapered and now need to finish the project. Our weather cooperates with indoor improvements, don't you think?

10:58 am

hope you will post pics when you are done, stid
10:59 am

Sometimes I think I need a designer but usually I can choose colors and textures that work well. With stiddy's help, I can post pictures. Otherwise I get too many pixels in and ruin the chog.

and hello again teach -- I was chatting online (LOVE that feature) with an insurance rep re: Grant's driver's license. Turns out we can get the full discount for driver's ed if he does just the driving with instructor portion, not the class portion! I made him pass the written driving test in order to get his permit... :-)
12:05 pm

Rain rain -- if only it would rain here! then the blackberries will plump up; looks like a good crop. I'll make you some red pepper jelly and some bb jam too.

12:06 pm

12:07 pm

ooohhhh you ar making me drool. Very good with roast chicken and pork too.
12:07 pm

I like peppers, actually (not the burns the mouth ones, but the milder ones)

The jelly I make has nothing but red peppers, pectin, lemon juice = the taste is heavenly. Have not found any store-bought to equal it.
