rururocks

That is a decent champagne. I think very consistent

1:29 am

grannyrose

it was a brut....which we don't usually drink, but in this case, we made the exception....lol

1:30 am

rururocks

Even though it is a brut. There is a high dosage.

1:31 am

grannyrose

even the vicar enjoyed it....lol

1:32 am

rururocks

I bet. Priests love to drink

1:34 am

grannyrose

lol....one sunday....the assistant priest had taken an antihistamine for bad hayfever. when he drank the wine left over from communion he nearly passed out.

1:36 am

Lizlin

1:42 am

Lizlin

I've been watching Sky news all day - well on and off. Awful situation :(

1:43 am

grannyrose

the police have been incredible.

1:44 am

Lizlin

The police and many others working behind the scenes. I only know one family in Sydney . She just posted on facebook that they're OK. Hope that will be true of everyone.

1:45 am

1:46 am

How are you today. have seen on the news the events happening there.Hope it all ends well.

3:58 am

grannyrose

hey ya zooz. evening has happened. special police are still in position. no further hostages have escaped.

3:59 am

grannyrose

the lights in the cafe have been turned off...of course the police are not revealing what the negotiations contain.

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Yes i heard that the lights had been turned off. But the police are not saying much on that either.

4:00 am

grannyrose

it makes sense, really. lights would allow the police to see what is going on inside.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

It sounds like it is one gunman involved as far as I can tell.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

How are things with you?

4:02 am

grannyrose

exactly, zooz. the police are being incredible. i am happy with the way they are conducting the siege

4:03 am

grannyrose

zooz....i sat down and folded, sorted and ironed this am...nothing more, mate. my hips are so sore.

4:04 am

grannyrose

and you, zooz? did you have an interesting sunday? any car boot sales?

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Well it is good you are pacing yourself. Sounds like you need to sit down more whilst doing things.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Car boot has finished for the winter.Will not start back up untill the spring.I am okay thanks..still plodding on..lol

4:06 am

zoozzoom

yesterday was fine, I did rest a lot. Tonight was rotten. Such bad dreams. Pffff am dead tired.

4:51 am

4:52 am

grannyrose

poor sprite!! i wish i could suggest something which would stop those evil thoughts.

4:52 am

rubyfoo

{{poor rosie}} I understand your pain!!!

4:52 am

sprite

I had a feeling things were not right there. Even sitting is taxing, sweetie. Maybe you should try and spread the folding and ironing more.

4:53 am

grannyrose

sprite, we are worried by this gunman...he has a back-pack on...it could hold anything.

4:53 am

sprite

oh I am fine. Am used to the recurring nightmares. Though this one was particularly nasty, involving some of my best friends :( May God watch over them.

4:54 am

I can understand you are worried. Such a horrible situation.

4:55 am

sukee

I'm back.

4:55 am

sukee

It was, feel much better now :)

4:57 am

sprite

4:59 am

sukee

I do want to invest in a hand held shower head.

5:00 am

crosshair

We also have one of those fancy shower-heads with 8 water settings, but it got to be a pain to set years ago and has been on our favorite setting for a long time now

5:02 am

grannyrose

5:03 am

sukee

5:05 am

crosshair

and now it is time for crossy's poem of the day!!!

5:06 am

crosshair

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb --of me.--Emily Dickinson

5:06 am

sukee

Nice one.

5:06 am

sprite

good old emily

5:24 am

5:25 am

grannyrose

the ambulances have moved out, and so has the heavy police presence.

5:28 am

grannyrose
