not really, dee, pugs. just a cough which won't leave me alone. *sigh* i think it's because don has been sweeping and not vacuuming. i used to get bad asthma when anyone swept around me.

12:56 am

flosey

12:56 am

2:05 am

puglet

wb-Liz

2:05 am

grannyrose

hey ya liz. just saw another amazing episode of grand designs. if you have time, definitely worth seeing.

2:05 am

Lizlin

Happy that you had good company for your birthday, Pugs :)

2:06 am

puglet

thanks Liz

2:07 am

Lizlin

I'll look into it sometime Rose - used to watch the renovation programmes in the UK but tend not to here - I know that Grand Designs is a UK programme and I did see the water tower, which was awesome!

2:08 am

Lizlin

Could do with a vowel in the middle row!

2:10 am

Lizlin

Are you feeling any better Rose or did the flu get you?

2:10 am

grannyrose

liz, i don't think it is the flu. it's not progressing at all.

2:11 am

Lizlin

I hope you can shake off whatever it is very quickly! Did you have hydrotherapy today - if so, did it go well for you?

2:11 am

grannyrose

used to get asthma whenever someone swept with a broom instead of vacuuming. i can't seem to make don understand that sweeping is not an option.

2:12 am

o-o

Hide the brooms

2:12 am

grannyrose

felt too sick to go to therapy, was afraid that if itis the flu, i might pass it on.

2:12 am

Lizlin

My hay fever is totally unpredictable here! I knew my season in England - here I react for a few days then stop, then odd days here and there - very weird.

2:12 am

Lizlin

Hi o-o

2:13 am

Lizlin

Fly up here on your broom - not that I'm calling you a witch - lol!

2:13 am

grannyrose

lol...o-o....do you think that work? i think that if i don't get any worse, it has to be the dust getting in.

2:14 am

grannyrose

*chucks pillow at liz*

2:14 am

Lizlin

Ducked!

2:14 am

grannyrose

goosed, you mean? lolol

2:15 am

Lizlin

:) - Good one! But I'm on my own in here at the mo!

2:15 am

grannyrose

if i get better over the next few days, then it has to be the sweeping. and i can quite rightly insist that he vacuum.

2:15 am

Lizlin

Sounds good to me anyway!

2:16 am

grannyrose

*mutters to self* don't touch it, don't touch it...

2:19 am

3:50 pm

lilliann

Hi Harp:)

3:52 pm

I don't drink it as it makes me sleep.

3:53 pm

harpjane

that's ok lilli, i shall drink your portion!

3:55 pm

lilliann

Glad about that Harp.i'll just drink tea with a dash of milk and green flavoured teas

3:56 pm

harpjane

I'm actually making green tea also.

3:57 pm

lilliann

My husband always drank a pint mug full of coffee but he hasn't drank it for 3 years now and drinks a pint mug full of tea instead

3:58 pm

lilliann

if i drink green tea, i have to add fresh lemon juice or honey.i don't like it on its own, but the flavoured green teas i will let stew for a bit

3:59 pm

MollyL

L, do all stimulants make you sleepy?

4:01 pm

lilliann

Hi Molly, no, coffee was the only one.i used to drink alot of coke and that kept me awake.i've spoken to others about coffee and i've found atleast 4 people that it makes sleepy too.plus i hate the taste of coffee, but i do love the fresh aroma of it

4:02 pm

crosshair

good afternoon everyone:) for me, any more than a single cup of coffee in a day gives me the shakes and makes me feel unwell

4:04 pm

lilliann

Hi Crossy:)that's not good

4:04 pm

crosshair

so, tea for me:)

4:05 pm

crosshair

how is Lillian this fine sunny winter day:) we have warmed up to minus 14c or so:)

4:05 pm

lilliann

I never use to drink alot of tea either, and there are days i like it without milk, it depends on my mood

4:07 pm

stidgmere

4:09 pm

Aye, i'll go and jump in the over flowing drain water Crossy and have a paddle :)

4:09 pm

stidgmere

We are enjoying a blue-sky day here in the Northwest. Grandson over to get some time in the woodworking shop. He has an interest in creating.

4:09 pm

crosshair

we actually have a polar bear dip fund raiser set for mid march. all proceeds from tickets sales go to the hospital for some new equipment

4:10 pm

lilliann

That doesn't sound good Harp.stay safe

4:10 pm

stidgmere

If I did the polar bear dip, I'd be the one in the hospital I think.

4:10 pm

stidgmere

How does the cold affect the harp? Can you take it out early to your vehicle or do you need to wait until closer to the gig?

4:11 pm

lilliann

That sounds great Gmere, i hope he has fun and learns loads

4:11 pm

lilliann

Are you doing it Crossy?

4:11 pm

crosshair

I am no expert, but I think extreme cold would contract the wood and the strings would all be out of tune

4:12 pm

crosshair

yes, I am lillian

4:12 pm

harpjane

The cold makes it go out of tune, so I'm moving it a few hours early. Also I am waiting for a weather window, which I think has arrived.

4:12 pm

stidgmere

I remember the fun I had using hammers and saws. Shall we fit you for a dry suit, Crossy?

4:13 pm

harpjane

Harps go out of tune all the time so you always allow for time to re-tune. It's not really that cold, just wet and windy.

4:13 pm

crosshair

no dry suit, a bath robe to walk out in and flip flops and boxers for the swim

4:13 pm

harpjane

4:24 pm

crosshair

4:25 pm

crosshair

4:28 pm

lilliann

I know they do that here,in our seas to raise money too Crossy.i take my hat of you and i'm sure you and many others wilol raise alot and it's definitely a worthwhile charity.it's just a shame that we have to raise money for these things and our governments to pay for them

4:29 pm

lilliann

Sorry about the mis-typing

4:29 pm

crosshair

they govt shaves the hospital budgets to the bone

4:29 pm

lilliann

aye, don't we know it!!

4:43 pm

lilliann

Am back to clue if needed.i had to give my husband some of the raspberry ripple cheese cake i bought on special tonight.i only gave him a small slice as it's late and i made chicken stuffed with cream cheese,garlic and herbs, wrapped in prosciotto ham with veg,roasted tatties,and a mushroom sauce, oh and i had a couple of yorkie puds instead of potatoes :)

4:45 pm

crosshair

mmmmmm

4:45 pm

crosshair

4:45 pm

crosshair

my crew is always on me for my butter/cheese yorkies

4:46 pm

4:46 pm

crosshair

ok, I shall make the brunch and you make the supper

4:47 pm

stidgmere

Sounds really tastey, Lilliann. I have talked yorkie pudding with corssy from time to time.

4:47 pm

lilliann

Done Crossy:P

4:48 pm

crosshair

have supper around 6 pm then we can drink single malt whiskey till 2 am while playing scrabble

4:48 pm

lilliann

Yorkshire puddings on there own can be quite bland, but it depends on what gravy/sauce you put on them

4:49 pm

crosshair

I really jazz up my yorkies

4:49 pm

lilliann

Plus you can make gaint ones and fill them with tasty things and they can be eaten as puddings

4:49 pm

stidgmere

I love a real rib roast for the pudding sauce to float in.

4:49 pm

crosshair

the cheese/herb ones are a favorite

4:50 pm

lilliann

I like to add finely chopped red onions, mushrooms and herbs to mine crossy, but i admit i've never tried cheese

4:50 pm

lilliann

What cheese do you use?

4:51 pm

lilliann

I don't mind the Scrabble crossy but not the Whisky

4:52 pm

lilliann

I've never had a rib roast Gmere, but sounds lovely....i can smell the aroma now and am feeling hungry again :)

4:55 pm

crosshair

I use a mota ray jack or some colyb or even a sharp 5 year old white cheddar, I have used the all

4:56 pm

crosshair

colby

4:56 pm

lilliann

Gmere, you can make giant Yorkshire puddings and add amince mix that you have made and also add new potatoes and veg in it, or a stew type dish and put that in the giant yorkie

4:56 pm

lilliann

So, cheddar type cheese then

4:56 pm

crosshair

my typing must be excused for today. English classes wore me out

4:57 pm

lilliann

Do they rise with you using chees and how much do you use?

4:57 pm

crosshair

yes, try a nice bold one first

4:57 pm

lilliann

I'll excuse you Crossy, my typing sucks all the time:)

4:57 pm

crosshair

they rise ,but not as much as with no cheese, I also ad a dash of baking power to assist the rise

4:58 pm

lilliann

i like a mature cheddar

4:58 pm

lilliann

oh ok, ty

4:58 pm

crosshair

yes, one with a bite

4:59 pm

lilliann

9:39 pm

gapeach

I need to let you all know why I haven't been participating in the chat lately. Several weeks ago we had an ice storm that crippled this city and surrounding areas. I, as many others, were without heat and land-line phones.....house is all electric. Many water pipes were frozen.....I was fortunate there, I let mine drip a little at night. Lost all food in freezer and fridge. Wore three layers of clothes and a knit hat (day and night). A very depressing time and then we had an earthquake and after shocks. But we made it. When I finally got the use of my computer, I just didn't feel like talking about it. I know there are many who are worse off than i.
