1:04 am

flosey

hi nan and goodnight

1:04 am

rururocks

hi nan

1:08 am

grannyrose

hi and bye nan, hello flosey

1:09 am

flosey

hi rose, ru, have been in and out

1:11 am

grannyrose

flosey, is the laptop fixed?

1:11 am

flosey

yes rose

1:12 am

flosey

hubby would be lost without it - he'd rather watch games up here rather than on tv which is downstairs

1:12 am

grannyrose

what a relief that must be.

1:12 am

flosey

yes, he only uses this one for mail

1:15 am

rururocks

Wow i only have one computer

1:16 am

flosey

are you the only one who uses it?

1:17 am

rururocks

Yeah..dylan isn't set up for email yet

1:17 am

flosey

lucky eh!

1:18 am

rururocks

Yeah it would just be a bunch of woofing anyways

1:19 am

flosey

he probably thinks the same about you using it

1:19 am

rururocks

Lol

1:20 am

flosey

it's fun when you monkey around and find it's accepted as a word

1:24 am

flosey

has anyone seen Joso lately?

1:26 am

grannyrose

it's been a while flosey. i did have an email from him.

1:27 am

flosey

ah, no time for babble anymore?

1:27 am

flosey

or a new young lady in his life - that would be nice

1:28 am

grannyrose

he didn't say, flosey. he is settling in with his aunt and uncle. keeping more regular hours, so he isn't awake at this time.

1:29 am

flosey

ah, that sounds like a good arrangement - meals prepared, etc

1:37 am

flosey

I can't find the second se6, can you clue it, please?

1:38 am

grannyrose

ahhh, it's a sneaky one, se + head louse egg + vowel

1:38 am

flosey

tytyty

1:40 am

grannyrose

took me some time to find it, then i saw , really saw, the e in the corner.

1:41 am

flosey

funny though, one usually tends to go toward more letters rather than cornering

1:41 am

grannyrose

that's why it's sneaky

1:41 am

flosey

true

1:44 am

grannyrose

flosey, how's jilly? have you seen her lately?

1:45 am

flosey

I usually see her at bridge but we were ousted from the hall this past Monday - it was needed to set up for a sale

1:46 am

flosey

she seems fine but does keep busy with other things

1:46 am

grannyrose

i know she's writing her book. i should email her directly i guess. it's just i don't want to intrude.

1:47 am

flosey

am sure she would not see an email as an intrusion

1:48 am

grannyrose

okay then, now that's three emails i have to write. * sigh * with everything that is going on here, my brain feels like mush.

1:49 am

flosey

sometimes you just have to close it all out and have a half hour or so to yourself

1:49 am

flosey

just to sit and admire the roses

1:49 am

grannyrose

i have been very lax of late. the weeks are flying by and still i haven't done half of what i wanted to do.

1:49 am

flosey

maybe you want to do too much???

1:50 am

grannyrose

lolol, if there are any left. possoms have stripped my bushes of all their leaves, and the cockatoos have shredded my jonquils and daffodils.

1:51 am

flosey

oh, the little buggars

1:51 am

grannyrose

i think i will have to bird-net my entire garden...lol...now that would be something to see.

1:51 am

flosey

we are being overrun with rabbits - not enough people are getting rid of them

1:51 am

flosey

like a cloud!

1:52 am

flosey

the dam things breed like rabbits, for goodness sake

1:52 am

grannyrose

and betwixt them both, our decorative pear tree is losing ground rapidly.

1:53 am

grannyrose

ummm<-------roflol......

1:53 am

flosey

ah, rose, that

1:54 am

flosey

's nasty - can you put fencing around the lower trunk?

1:54 am

flosey

hubby had to do that with some of the young trees - to keep the rabbits from killing them

1:54 am

grannyrose

are rabbits the same as mice? i know a male mouse can impregnate the female, even when she is birthing the new litter.

1:55 am

flosey

oh my, you'd think she bite him or something,

1:55 am

flosey

can you imagine!!!

1:55 am

grannyrose

i wish, flosey. unfortunately the tree is well established, right next to the house. and our roof is part of the possom's regular highway.

1:56 am

flosey

os they're climbers, I am not familiar with possoms

1:56 am

flosey

fortunately

1:56 am

flosey

I haven't seen a snake this year, wonder if the rabbits have anything to do with that

1:57 am

grannyrose

lucky you......over in new zealand they are allowed to shoot them. but over here, they are treated with kid gloves.

1:58 am

grannyrose

i would have thought the snakes eat the rabbits.

1:58 am

flosey

we just don't have enough people on the island who can shoot these rabbits

1:58 am

flosey

the snakes I've seen around here are not big enough to eat a rabbit

1:59 am

flosey

haven't seen one this year - maybe they didn't like the scream I let out!

2:00 am

flosey

they startle and the scream just happens

2:01 am

grannyrose

pity you didn't have a dad like mine. he brought all of us up to be very observant whenever we were outdoors. consequently, when i see a snake i just stop.

2:02 am

grannyrose

dad was a country boy, and taught all 5 of us all he knew about the outdoors and bush.

2:03 am

flosey

dad wasn't around much when I was young, he was in the army but didn't go overseas

2:03 am

grannyrose

the only thing i cannot stand are big, hairy spiders. no matter what, i can't help iot. i just scream and scream. and i can't seem to take my eyes off it.

2:03 am

flosey

they were all trained and ready

2:04 am

flosey

rose, one daughter is like that - yet she would fondle a snake or most other creatures but spiders truly freak her out (freek? don't us that word very often

2:06 am

grannyrose

the ea is correct, flosey.

2:06 am

flosey

thaks

2:06 am

flosey

thanks

2:09 am

flosey

I made a fresh blackberry pie for supper tonight and had some left over so made a jar of jam for hubby while I'm gone, I did sterilize the jar and lid but didn't go through the whole rigamarole, and used a jar bigger than necessary and it even sealed! I wouldn

2:09 am

flosey

trust it for any time though, he'll use it while I'm in Toronto

2:10 am

grannyrose

yum, blackberry pie, and jam too.

2:10 am

flosey

oh, the pie was so good, with fresh whipped cream

2:11 am

flosey

hmmm, tempted to have a bedtime snack

2:12 am

grannyrose

what a te5 you are, flosey!!

2:14 am

flosey

sorry

2:14 am

flosey

these things grow wild all over the property

2:15 am

flosey

we have a few friends who come to pick

2:16 am

flosey

I hate to see them just fall off unused

2:16 am

grannyrose

it's the quick and the dead here. if the local council don't spray them the birds get them.

2:18 am

flosey

well, one of the wineries pays locals to pick bbs for them - they make a bb port which was, at first, quite nice - now we pick, freeze and take them to the ubrew and they make the port there - thus picked for yourself, you only take fully ripe ones which of course make a better port

2:34 am

flosey

you still here rose?

2:35 am

grannyrose

yes, dear.

2:36 am

flosey

wondered if I'd bored you to death

2:37 am

grannyrose

lol, no flosey. i'm also watching midsommer murders on the tv.

2:37 am

grannyrose

blackberry port sounds interesting

2:39 am

flosey

ah, I don't watch much tv, it's downstairs - so only if I have ironing to do

2:40 am

grannyrose

*giggle* if don had his way, there would be a tv in every room, and one for the deck outside.

2:40 am

flosey

if I know there's something special, I go down

2:40 am

flosey

wow, hubby won't have one in the livingroom

2:41 am

flosey

we had one in the bedroom but it wasn't used much - had it disconnected

2:41 am

grannyrose

fang even has one in her kitchen.

2:42 am

flosey

wow!

2:43 am

grannyrose

personally i think it's a waste. when i'm cooking/eating, the last thing i want is a tv blaring away.

2:44 am

flosey

doesn't exactly aid digestion, does it

2:46 am

grannyrose

no it doesn't. i was very strict as the kids were growing up. the tv was turned off, we all sat at the table, and it became 'family' time.

2:48 am

flosey

we did that too

2:48 am

flosey

lunchtime was a little freer, suppertime was around the table

2:49 am

grannyrose

today's parents are just beginning to realise that the tv is not such a great thing after all. it has been used as a 'baby-sitter' for too long.

2:50 am

flosey

Rose, am afraid I'm going to have to get to bed, 8 words to go but I'm drooping!

2:50 am

grannyrose

poor flosey. love and hugs, dear. sleep well

2:51 am

flosey

same back, rose, enjoy the rest of your day

2:51 am

grannyrose

thanx hun

rubyfoo

it feels like Oct not Aug

4:21 am

sprite

11:52 am

JBV

and we're having an early fall - not complaining - it's cool and feels great

11:52 am

rubyfoo

how are you?

11:53 am

JBV

very well - just came back from Santa Fe - my niece got married - lots of family fun

11:53 am

rubyfoo

it's very cool here, too, and we really didn't have much of a summer, but all the rain kept everything green and flowering

11:53 am

JBV

Yes I've been hearing from my cousins that the weather more or less ruined their vegetable crop

11:54 am

JBV

too much rain at once

11:54 am

I've only been in New Mexico once and that was one night in Albuquerque

rubyfoo

11:54 am

JBV

funny - I've been to Santa Fe many times, passing through Albuquerque airport, but never in the city

11:54 am

rubyfoo

I had a lot of fruit ut the tomatoes were totally ruined by all the rain. The ones that didn't get rotten had no taste

11:55 am

rubyfoo

but the figs!!!! I had enough to eat my fill and give many away

11:55 am

JBV

i LOVE figs!

11:55 am

JBV

we used to have a fig tree in the backyard in Astoria

11:55 am

JBV

now I pay $1.00 apiece to get fresh figs

11:56 am

rubyfoo

These are the green ones and there were 100's! and small ones have formed, so there may be more in Sepy

11:56 am

JBV

do you try to preserve them or use them in cakes, etc

11:56 am

rubyfoo

that's funny because a neighbor in Queens Village had a fig tree and my friend and I used to climb the fence and steal them

11:57 am

bichon

crossy, are you there? I need to download Babble Expert on my new computer

11:57 am

good thing he never caught you

11:57 am

bichon

ruby, you were once a thief?

1:42 pm

hego

OH!!

1:42 pm

hego

A breeder of budgies.

1:42 pm

hego

Sorry, slow today.

1:42 pm

worzel

lol what did you think i meant?? haha

1:43 pm

hego

Where do the pet shops get them?

1:43 pm

hego

No idea, Worzel.

1:44 pm

worzel

im guessing they get them from breeders but charge double for selling them on - either that or breed them themselves. Most breeders advertising online charge between 8 and 12 pounds but the pet shop charges 20 pounds!

1:44 pm

hego

A pllace to breed them maybe, like a big bird house.

1:44 pm

hego

Costly little critters.

1:45 pm

worzel

like i said, if i can't find one from a breeder then I'll get one from the pet shop. Trouble is pet shops don't tend to treat their animals with a great deal of kindness. But then, I guess breeders are only in it for the money, too, so it's a tough situation. As long as I can give it some love and life that's all that matters!

1:46 pm

hego

good luck.

1:46 pm

worzel

aww thanks x

1:46 pm

hego

:)

1:48 pm

worzel

mind you, there's a couple rats in my front garden - they're free lmao!!
