when we were in Ontario, the girls worked nearby and would stop in on way home - seems they always knew when I baked bread
2:01 am

yes, and the other son is close enough for us to visit with on weekends. i feel we have to encourage a deeper relationship with the 2 grandkiddies, so when number 3 arrives, we can help out if needed.
2:02 am

great, rose, and what fun

in reality, it's actually number 5. lucinda had 2 from another relationship before she married my simon.

2:37 am

interesting, rose
2:37 am
grannyrose
sarah, nothing wrong with using a little honey to sweeten it, if that helps.
2:37 am
sarah6girls
daniel has some green tea with honey i will try that
2:38 am
sarah6girls
resit
2:38 am
sarah6girls
oopppss sorry
2:38 am
flosey
always wondered why it wouldn't accept that - if you get up, you often resit
2:38 am
grannyrose
s'okay...not a real word
2:43 am
flosey
head's getting heavy, time for bed, 29 for tomorrow
2:44 am
flosey
goodnight rose and sarah, enjoy the grid, I have found it moves along nicely
2:44 am
sarah6girls
nite flosey sleep well xxx
2:44 am
grannyrose
and flosey? you have to be a leetle circumspect with your diet. i allow myself 200-300cal, or about 1000-1200 kilojoules per meal. and only snack on fresh fruit between meals.
2:45 am
flosey
ty dear sarah
2:45 am
grannyrose
oh, night, flosey. sleep well, hun
2:45 am
flosey
yes, very true rose, hubby comes in (from the garden) for tea and I always have a couple of cookies with it - not a good habit
2:46 am
grannyrose
so my dear...can you reach for a piece of fruit instead?or is the availability not good?
2:47 am
flosey
have started a chair yoga class - once a week for next 6 weeks, this should help the arthritis and also push me to get more exercise
2:47 am
flosey
yes, bought a fresh pineapple today, have been nibbling on it
2:48 am
flosey
and we have apples in storeroom, should be eating them
2:48 am
grannyrose
dearest friend, and the more weight you lose, the more mobile you will become.
2:49 am
flosey
so true, have been trying to get out to walk - at least a mile a day
2:49 am
grannyrose
in season, i use low-joule lemonade to stew fruit, freeze, and in off-season i still have 'fresh' fruit to eat.
2:50 am
flosey
hate to admit, have plenty of fruit frozen from last summer, should be eating that
2:51 am
grannyrose
oh, dear. maybe good that i have prompted your memory?
2:51 am
flosey
just a case of getting into that habit
2:52 am
flosey
and now, with thanks dear friend, must get to bed, almost 1: am. and kids coming just after lunch tomorrow
2:52 am
grannyrose
okay, sweetie. march to the freezer on your way to bed, and remove some fruit....right now. lol
2:52 am
flosey
after the fresh pineapple and mango, will do that
2:53 am
flosey
and I won't be offended if you remind me, lol
2:53 am
grannyrose
good girl. sleep well. enjoy your family
2:53 am
flosey
may not be babbling for a few days, we'll see how things go

12:48 pm
nrkii
and the policeman who gave me the ticket told me, "the next time you're having trouble seeing, you should slow down"
12:48 pm
nrkii
I don't mind paying the ticket... I did go through the stop sign. But I'll be damned if I'm going to put up with getting points on my insurance over this.

lille is straight north of Paaris , I think
1:24 pm
rubyfoo
Dordogne is southwest
1:24 pm
cybernan
oh lille, not lisle
1:25 pm

I was thinking of all those lovely vinyards!

we had a couple of feet of snow 2 or 3 wks ago and the tulips started up underneath

beginning of forever and end with perform suffix

"beginning of forever" is a lovely phrase
1:32 pm

Sounds like a wedding vow.

1:35 pm
rubyfoo
one-by-one they are revealing themselves
1:35 pm
MollyL
Where exactly are all these punctuation marks hidden?
1:35 pm
Anniebrook
I am thinking of getting a new computer
1:36 pm
cybernan
have you ever considered that when you put an e in front of the bird, you have forever, but when you put an ma in front you have what seems like forever ;)
1:36 pm
rubyfoo
Under weird marks I don't even recognize
1:37 pm
MollyL
Oh, I didn't get that at first. You have to put "ity" at the end.
1:37 pm
rubyfoo
still haven't found the colon and semi-colon
1:37 pm
Anniebrook
you would also have to put another E at the end of the bird to get poetic forever
1:37 pm
MollyL
So the French language has different punctuation? I didn't know that.
1:38 pm
gapeach
Thanks much, nan.
1:38 pm
Anniebrook
ruby, it is not near the L then
1:38 pm
cybernan
just a lot more punctuation than english -- all those accent marks
1:39 pm
rubyfoo
it may just be European because there's an umlaut and a pound sign (neither usable for me)
1:39 pm
gapeach
Thanks Molly for that pr6.
1:39 pm
rubyfoo
that's it, annie, thank you
1:40 pm
MollyL
An umlaut???
1:40 pm
rubyfoo
that key has an : on it and the key with a question mARK has the m underneath
1:40 pm
rubyfoo
aren't two dots side-by[side an umlaut?
1:41 pm
Anniebrook
ruby, is the question mark on the bottom row or one row about
1:41 pm
Anniebrook
*above
1:41 pm
Anniebrook
.. umlaut
1:41 pm
MollyL
No clue. Except for accents, I am not familiar with European punctuation.
1:42 pm
rubyfoo
ist is written on the key next to the n which is actually the m and the question mark is Under a sign I don't recognize, like a blurred double ss
1:43 pm
gapeach
I'm off to a doctors appt. bbl Thanks for the clues.
1:43 pm
rubyfoo
but I still like the new computer, even if my writing is slightly idiotic

MollyL
Well that's better than straight out of the bottle.
5:11 pm
lilliann
mmm, never tried it like that crossy.will have to have a go.i like vodka and tonic with a bit of lemon
5:11 pm

5:12 pm
lilliann
is it nice crossy?
5:12 pm
crosshair
oh yes:)) summertime vodka with lemonage;))
5:13 pm
crosshair
it is nice actually.i have special tall shot glasses for it and freeze them and the vodka before serving and right after pouring you ad a drop of honey and just a touch of fresh ground pepper from a pepper mill
5:13 pm
crosshair
the honey actuall floats in the vodka suspended.almost like a lava lamp.quite pretty to look at
5:15 pm
crosshair
then you get the bite of the pepper and the ice chill of the vodka right from the freezer and the honey as a finish
5:16 pm
lilliann
sounds quirky.so any honey i take it?
5:16 pm
crosshair
use a good vodka tough.i like ketle one and a grade a honey
5:17 pm
crosshair
just a drop in the glass,bout the size of a chick pea
5:17 pm

That is my problem with spicy food. I like to actually be able to taste what I'm eating.
7:09 pm

indeed,i found that it simply masked the flavour of food

hottest dish i ever had with them in all the 2 years was what appeared to be a simple bowl of steamed basmati rice.i have no idea what they put on it but i was not right for days

i am sure lando would be proud:)
7:14 pm

Well, the man is known for his humility. Just taking a singular name fits in with that.

it just annoyed me with having a custom made wheelchair for a hip operation.here we get crutches, which are probably better as you have to do some movement.i don't want a gold one but a reclining seat would be nice, perhaps i'm just jealous.at the end of the day it's her money spent

7:54 pm
lilliann
i just think it was way over the top.if she was going to be in the wheelchair for life, then yes, it's her money spent and she wants to be different.i have no problems with that as i have a bright yellow and shimmery blue one as i don't want to be like everyone else.i want a chair that shows my personality, but i just think, if you're going to spend that amount of money, spend it on better causes
