5:11 am

westford

we are 30 miles from the ocean here in Rhode Island but in Maine we are a 10 minute walk

5:13 am

5:15 am

westford

we were down to 10 on Sunday..everyone has moved away

Nope. But I don't mind :)

5:30 am

sukee

They said it might be warmer today than it was at Halloween.

5:30 am

sukee

Hungry now, going out to breakfast in 3 hours...

5:31 am

grannyrose

a piece of fruit perhaps, shouldn't hurt the appetite much.

5:31 am

sukee

Yes, I may have a banana.

5:32 am

sukee

Are you all ready for Santa, Rose?

5:34 am

grannyrose

as a matter of fact, yes!!! we spent the entire morning wrapping up all the children's gifts.

5:34 am

5:36 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl

5:37 am

5:37 am

Lucky you Sukee. I'm looking forward to the Christmas special, which shows on Boxing Day here.

5:37 am

Lizlin

Hugs, Rose

5:38 am

sukee

I'm going to watch it on the BBC tomorrow.

5:38 am

Lizlin

Was about to email you, Rose, to wish you and all the family a very happy Christmas.

5:38 am

Lizlin

I guess because we're ahead of England, we have to wait until Boxing Day.

5:39 am

grannyrose

awww, that's so sweet, liz. thanx for that.

5:39 am

crosshair

lol, I love the Dr. Who fan club in babble. Last show I saw had a Dr. Who with an afro, and wearing a harry potter-type scarf, so it is funny when i think of it:)

5:39 am

sukee

Ah yes, Tom Baker :) He is one of my favourites.

5:39 am

Lizlin

That was Tom Baker - many moons ago, except for a cameo for the 50 year special

5:40 am

grannyrose

tom baker!! he is one of my fave dr who.

5:40 am

sukee

The Tom Baker era is when I really got into the show. I had always known about it and watched it, but didn't become obsessed until then.

5:41 am

crosshair

We used to see him in action on our old Channel 17 which was the public broadcasting network. they used to cut the show into 12 minute chunks and beg for donations between scenes

5:42 am

Lizlin

I like Peter Capaldi now - a much darker Doctor than others recently.

5:42 am

sukee

Me to, David Tennant had become a favourite but I am loving Capaldi's Doctor. He has a great dry sense of humour too.

5:43 am

Lizlin

I watched the very first series with my family and have watched most since then, tho I did take a break and missed out on Sylvester McCoy.

5:43 am

Lizlin

Also really liked David Tennant.

5:43 am

sukee

I had a toy dalek when I was a kid :)

5:43 am

crosshair

That was the same place I used to watch Magic Shadows with Elwy Yost

5:44 am

sukee

Yes, I used to love Magic Shadows and all those great movies they showed.

5:44 am

Lizlin

My cousin's son used to go to any and every kids' party dressed as a dalek.

5:44 am

sukee

Actually, Doctor Who is the first TV show I remember watching.

5:45 am

Lizlin

Clue for ov 6 / 7 pls?

5:45 am

sukee

Sorry, have no O words yet.

5:46 am

Lizlin

OK. Thanks anyway.

5:46 am

grannyrose

5:47 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Rose.

5:47 am

grannyrose

lol, don can actually list all the dr who's without hesitation, and in order of their appearance.

5:48 am

Lizlin

Hate to say, but so can I - but not the dates of the shows!

5:48 am

sukee

I'm not that obsessed :)

5:48 am

Lizlin

And I might have to think a bit around a few of them.

5:49 am

Lizlin

No, could do it without hesitation!

6:03 am

Lizlin

Stuck on my final 8 words. Think I'll leave them until tomorrow. Good night all and if I don't see you before, Happy christmas.

6:03 am

sukee

Have a great Christmas too.

6:04 am

Lizlin

Thanks and enjoy Doctor Who :)

6:04 am

sukee

You too :)

6:08 am

Marc Freeman

9:02 am

sprite

yes we are ahead of you. It is 4 pm here, not yet Christmas Eve.

9:03 am

phaeton

ahh...tomorrow is Christmas. I get confused on the time and days as my daughter and her family are in Japan and they are even further ahead in time.

9:04 am

sprite

yeah. The Aussies are much further ahead as well. Then Europe and finally the USA. Not sure where Japan falls.

9:04 am

phaeton

about 14 hours ahead of the US so about 9 hours ahead of you.

9:06 am

sprite

so.... then it is Japan first, then Aussie, then Europe and then USA. Babble can be confusing :)

9:07 am

phaeton

lol...I get it straight on New Years Eve...just watch them all in order

9:08 am

Chris P

Sprite why isn't it Christmas Eve where you are? In England we're only an hour behind you and it's Christmas Ever here.

9:08 am

9:09 am

MLFAN17

9:10 am

sprite

it is different here. The day before Xmas is mostly a normal day. Shops are open until dinner time. Then after dinner it is considered Kerstavond = Christmas Evening.

9:12 am

MLFAN17

pretty much the same as the US sprite

9:12 am

MLFAN17

but some stores are open late on xmas eve

9:13 am

Santa just flew over Kuala Lumpur. I hope all the kids there are asleep.

10:36 am

rururocks

Do you call the people from kuala lumpites?

10:37 am

MollyL

I don't know, but the people in Lusby, Maryland call themselves Lusbians : D

10:37 am

rururocks

Lumpers?

10:38 am

rururocks

Everyone drives motorcycles in Lusbia?

10:45 am

rururocks

Probably a lot of dammed up water too I bet.

10:49 am

MollyL

Lots of pride in that town

10:51 am

rururocks

Little kids with muddy fingers

11:06 am

MollyL

I am in some kind of pre-Christmas daze. I think I have made everything but a figgy pudding.

11:09 am

rururocks

LOL.. I bet.. I have a feeling your house is totally geeked out with Christmas decorations etc

11:10 am

MollyL

No, I don't go overboard. I do a tree and decorate the mantle. A few other decorations here and there. I've seen it a lot more elaborate. Someone here said they decorate every room in their house. I don't have the money or the stamina for that.

11:11 am

rururocks

I don't think I believe you :D

11:12 am

MollyL

Cos is the Christmas geek in this posse.

11:12 am

rururocks

oh.. I miss having him around

11:31 am

MollyL

I think snitz should be a word. What bitchy women make for Christmas...snitz cookies...

11:36 am

rururocks

isn't that a german dessert snitzel?

11:37 am

hego

schnitzel is a veal cutlet.

11:37 am

hego

and MerryChristmas!

11:37 am

rururocks

Oh.. a politically incorrect german dessert :D

11:37 am

hego

yup!

11:42 am

rururocks

Isn't Schnitzel the name of Arnold Swarzenegger's illegitimate kid?

11:43 am

hego

could be. lol

11:45 am

rururocks

ah.. I best get my show on the road.. before the freeways are a nightmare

11:45 am

hego

11:47 am

It's a madhouse out here.

Scrabbler

Duh, thanks.

LuvWordGames

or if you add a er at the end it's a kids wheeled toy you push with one foot

3:21 pm

Scrabbler

15 to go, but I finished the 4's. Maybe I will be back later.

3:34 pm

Soodle

Stuffing made, veg prepped, trifle done. Prawns defrosting. Once-a-Year china, Waterford Crystal & Newbridge cutlery gleaming. Candle lit in theront window to indicate that there's room at The Inn of Soodle. House as clean as it's ever gonna be. It's time to open a bottle of festive cheer, I think.

3:35 pm

Soodle

That would be the 'front ' window....

3:36 pm

MollyL

*Thinks bottle of cheer is already open*

3:37 pm

Soodle

Ye Gods Molly. Not untill what needed to be done got done. And now's that time. Slurp....

3:38 pm

MollyL

When there is a lot of doing to be done, it's better to lubricate the doer. What's happening for Christmas Eve?

3:38 pm

Soodle

Will you have one or both of the lads with you tomorrow, Molls?

3:38 pm

MollyL

Hopefully all 3 o'dem. And the girlie too.

3:39 pm

Soodle

Yay!!! How's the health with her?

3:39 pm

MollyL

Better, for now. *Fingers crossed*

3:42 pm

Soodle

Very happy to hear that. May the 4 of ye have a lovely day! Re lubrication of Soodle.... I'll self lubricate ( that just sounds So rude) when all my all my jobs are done.

3:45 pm

MollyL

So, no word about stockings all hung by the chimney with care, so this must be all about a clean house and a show stopper dinner. Has Mother Soodle arrived, or is Santa dropping her off?

3:46 pm

MollyL

And we are 5, last time I counted.

3:50 pm

periwinkle

I only have one no7 (ideas)

3:51 pm

Soodle

It's almost 10.00pm here. The stockings are hung. The mince pies & glass of Guinness for Santa, & carrot for Rudolph have been set out. Mother is being collected by daughter of Soodle tomorrow mid-day. A visit to Geanda in the nursing home & then down to me. I can't wait. 5?. 2 sons, one girlie in law, one Molly. Who have I missed?

3:52 pm

Soodle

A night-time piece of music, Peri - No 7/36

3:52 pm

periwinkle

ty Soodle

3:53 pm

Soodle

And N + portion of circle + last 3 letters of nasal aperture...

3:57 pm

MollyL

I have 3 sons. And tis a shame you will miss my annual rendition of The Irish Night Before Christmas.

4:00 pm

Soodle

Good Lord above! I had always thought you had 2 boys. My bad. And to the Son Of Molls I had discounted - abject apologies! Feeling foolish now.

4:01 pm

Soodle

Molly, may 2015 bring us the wherewithal for me to witness your performance of The Irish Night Before Christmas. Be it here or there or somewhere inbetween.

4:08 pm

Soodle

And now, the neighbours have just arrived ( which I need like a toothache ). Gah. They better not make a mess. Poof

4:08 pm

MollyL

Twas the night before Christmas
And down the glen lane
The candles they twinkled
In each windowpane

4:09 pm

MollyL

I guess there is no room at The Inn Of Soodle after all.

4:49 pm

rururocks

Inn of Soodle sounds like a horror movie

4:49 pm

rururocks

<---afraid to take a shower there

4:59 pm

MimiCat

The Inn of Mimi would likely scare you as well, ruru.

5:00 pm

MimiCat

...it often frightens me!

5:03 pm

MollyL

The Grand Soodle Hotel is probably jumping right now. Her neighbors came by to tank it up on Christmas Eve (Soodle will tell you they came by for a prayer meeting)

5:04 pm

Soodle

LOL!! Soodle was the hostess with the mostest!
Sweetness and light, that was me. And no, Molly, they came, they had a drink, they dispensed gifts and they went off on their merry (!) way. All is calm, all is quiet.

5:05 pm

MollyL

Oh, okay...um...Round yon virgin....

5:05 pm

Soodle

And, if I may.. Can I suggest that if you guys only listen to one Christmas song this year, let it be this one..http://tinyurl.com/lbt5ozq

5:06 pm

MollyL

That one is too sad. I prefer Boyz II Men's Silent Night

5:08 pm

MollyL

The acapella one

5:08 pm

Soodle

No no no, Molly! When son of Soodle was about 5 or 6, his teacher told me this story. She was asking the class to identify the characters in the crib. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the angels, the shepherds etc were all correctly identified, until my Paul was called upon. He pointed to a statue, and said - Thats John Bergin! The teacher was mystified. Who? She said.. Pauly says.... Like in the song.... Round John Bergin, Mother and Child....

5:09 pm

mattygroves

I'm listening to Maddy Prior's A Tapestry of Carols right now - with medieval instruments - just my cup of tea

5:09 pm

MollyL

That is priceless Soodle

5:09 pm

saanichcat

I wish I was there too matty

5:10 pm

Soodle

True story!

5:13 pm

mattygroves

Well, I'm in the bedroom with earphones in - it's not anyone else's in the family's cuppa

5:14 pm

MollyL

*Gets dulcimers, lutes and legs of mutton out for Matty and Saan*

5:14 pm

mattygroves

My idea of heaven (though I'd go for lamb rather than mutton - I have expensive tastes)

5:16 pm

MollyL

Yeah, so do I. But not the income to enjoy them.

5:16 pm

saanichcat

certainly mine taste, and so is Molly's additions, except lamb not mutton, thanks Molly! Appreciate the sentiment

5:16 pm

mattygroves

How have I missed this album?! It's superb.

5:18 pm

saanichcat

we are wishing Molly, that's all. Luckily we have Salt Spring Island Lamb here year round, at reasonable prices

5:19 pm

saanichcat

and maddy Prior is so amazing, all my albums left with my ex (sigh)

5:19 pm

mattygroves

A glass of sherry would be perfect right now - I have some, but I think I'd get disapproving looks from my brother, his wife and my daughter. Families can be fraught and I'm apparently the annoying black sheep of the family if brother and (adult) daughter's behaviour is any indication

5:22 pm

saanichcat

hmm that is a situation familiar; brave you for having them all in. Is there anything lke hot rums they would enjoy without censoring you? Bummer. Have your sherry and a good mouthwash after

5:25 pm

mattygroves

I'm at theirs in the US - my mom died on the 16th so I came over for that - my daughter then decided she'd come (in truth more for Christmas with her uncle whom she adores than anything to do with her grandma's death - not to say she didn't love grandma, she did but as she got frailer Sarah had less to do with her especially given the ocean between us)

5:26 pm

mattygroves

I was here when my mum died (I came over for that) so at least there's that (I'll put the self pity stick away now)

5:27 pm

rururocks

wouldn't it be Mimi Motel?

5:28 pm

MollyL

You two are making me laugh. I always think of sherry as an old lady drink.

5:29 pm

rururocks

ah.. poor molly doesn't know about great sherry.. in spain it can be wonderful with dry sherry and mussels and clams

5:29 pm

MollyL

And I am amused that Matty travels with it.

5:29 pm

mattygroves

I only drink it at Christmas (Amontillado) - it's kind of tradition - my folks used to drink it

5:29 pm

kristin

Matty considering what you have been through you deserve a glass of sherry, sorry for your loss

5:29 pm

rururocks

it can be a revelation to have great sherry molly.. not the horrible stuff that most people serve

5:29 pm

mattygroves

I don't travel with it - it was in mum's house which we are slowly clearing - there was an unopened bottle

5:29 pm

MollyL

Poor Molly knows zippity doo dah about wine in general.

5:30 pm

rururocks

LOL

5:30 pm

rururocks

I know about wine.. but need to learn more about zippity doo dah

5:30 pm

saanichcat

IN defence of sherry: sometimes I think I'm an old lady! When I was growong up it was an honour to have some. Perhaps you are thinking of sweet sherry? The Dry Sherries are amazing

5:31 pm

MollyL

And Ru, I will trust you that there are better versions of sherry than the swill I have tasted. *Think Trader Joe's 2 Buck Chuck*

5:31 pm

mattygroves

For the love of god, Fortunado (kewpie doll to those who get the reference)

5:31 pm

rururocks

yikes

5:31 pm

rururocks

sherry doesn't need to be expensive either and it lasts forever

5:32 pm

rururocks

I love dry amontillado sherries..

5:32 pm

MollyL

Do you always drink it out of those teeny weeny glasses?

5:32 pm

rururocks

yes..

5:32 pm

mattygroves

Less of the weeny, maybe a bit of the teeny

5:33 pm

saanichcat

Well all I wish is for matty to have a good slug and continue to enjoy maddy prior, merry christmas matty

5:33 pm

rururocks

weeny glasses are in SF

5:33 pm

saanichcat

of course

5:33 pm

rururocks

:D

5:34 pm

rururocks

when they toast in the City of SF.. they always say pecker up!

5:35 pm

rururocks

*observes a moment of silence for the horrified lurkers*

5:36 pm

saanichcat

I am restraining myself with difficulty from making even more comments, worse than ru's

5:37 pm

rururocks

oh.. sorry

5:37 pm

rururocks

I like to work over the lurkers

5:38 pm

saanichcat

actually I waS ABOUT TO HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH THAT BUT RESTRAINEDâ€¦.whoops caps sorry

5:38 pm

mattygroves

Heh.

5:41 pm

MollyL

Let us all remember that Matty is the one who said she was going to use that word that means flopping around the next time she saw her boyfriend naked

5:42 pm

rururocks

what's that word?

5:43 pm

rururocks

*now wants to know what saan was going to say*

5:44 pm

mattygroves

Haa! I'd forgotten that

5:44 pm

mattygroves

Now, what was the word? It was a great word

5:45 pm

rururocks

....waiting...

5:50 pm

MollyL

I don't know Matty. You are the one who said it was a keeper. I don't even like to use the word "premature" around men.

5:53 pm

MollyL

Well, I hope Soodle has put her butt in bed because Santa is heading her way.

5:54 pm

kristin

Pint

5:54 pm

kristin

Crap sorry

5:55 pm

mattygroves

Wampish - that was the word

5:55 pm

rururocks

she's having sex with Santa Molly?

5:56 pm

rururocks

that Irish vixen

5:56 pm

MollyL

Ssssshhh Ru, dammit

5:56 pm

saanichcat

GREAT word matty!

5:57 pm

MollyL

Well that all depends on how much fun you have in mind. I have a feeling that after using the word wampish to a naked man, fun goes right out the window.

5:58 pm

mattygroves

Yeah - mine wasn't impressed ;)

5:58 pm

rururocks

unless he's playing creature from the black lagoon with the maiden thing

5:59 pm

rururocks

oh wampish :D

5:59 pm

hi matty, I hope you get this before your 'duties' begin; have a calm and peaceful time as possible, indulge in the sherry or whatever; it is the old pagan ritual of light returning, and most of all, enjoy yourself

6:45 pm

mattygroves

Thank you saan. I opted for a beer instead - I shall take the sherry back to the UK with me and share it with my other half when we have our own Christmas dinner on new year's day. It was my mum's favourite brand and you can't get it in the UK - it seems more appropriate with someone who will appreciate it

6:45 pm

mattygroves

And me.

6:47 pm

saanichcat

glad to hear that matty, safe returns xo

6:48 pm

mattygroves

Boxing day, we're all going into NYC to stay the night (we're currently in Bucks County near Philly) and then I'm going on Saturday to see my cousin in Boston - I shall enjoy that - let my brother and daughter be as sarcastic as they like when I'm gone

6:57 pm

saanichcat

that sounds like fun! And an excellent fumigant from others' bad vibes, especially family! I have resorted to either going away or passing up on family Christmas, pretending I am sick, whatever, anything to get out of doing it All again as I have always done! Enough I say! Rellies can be the hardest. Have fun in Boston. Apologies about my complaints, it has been been bugging me tonight, of all nights. Keep safe from the bad wolves and have a wonderful time. And a happy trip home to the wamp.(kidding!!)

7:01 pm

Bugsaw

Happy Christmas friends. I hope you all have the kind of celebration that suits you!

7:03 pm

Bugsaw

Obviously, I have missed a lot of chat tonight but I am finally able to sit and calm down after a day full of visiting.

7:03 pm

saanichcat

Hi there Bugs, it is so good to see you

7:04 pm

Bugsaw

Are you unhappy about something saanich? I have seen no complaints beyond normal ones for season

7:07 pm

saanichcat

I may write to you, but to clear up reasons for my bad mood, I am going through nicotine withdrawal. AGGGH!

7:10 pm

saanichcat

I am really sory for having brought down the jollity of such a special evening; my apologies but mostly MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

7:14 pm

Bugsaw

ah.... smoking is SUCH a hard thing to give up. Worse than alcohol I have heard

7:15 pm

saanichcat

worse than heroin

7:15 pm

Bugsaw

I am not unhappy. I just gave up on following traditions and do what I want when I want around Christmas. Traditions were great for the kids to give them a sense of family and living history. Now they are grown and gone and celebrating some they inherited and some they are just starting.

7:15 pm

saanichcat

not that I have experience!

7:15 pm

Bugsaw

as an old fart, I don't have to please anyone anymore.

7:17 pm

Bugsaw

Poor saanich. Do write to me any time you like . I can't believe another whole year has passed without us sitting down together. My fault because I don't go down island nearly as often as I once did.

7:17 pm

saanichcat

I think you and I Bugs agree and I look forward to the Spring Dinner with ru on SSI

7:17 pm

Bugsaw

are you using some chemical aids to quitting?

7:18 pm

Bugsaw

Do they help at all?

7:19 pm

saanichcat

patches. (although stronger "chemic aids" have gently crossed and then left my mind! Are you going to listen to "THe Shepherd" on AIH tonight?

7:20 pm

Bugsaw

anyhow, I am sure you will make it through to the other side. I still remember vividly the last time I had a smoke. It tasted terrible so I tossed it in the fire and never took another.

7:21 pm

Bugsaw

Tell me about the Shepherd. I thought AIH meant Artificle Insemination Husband.

7:22 pm

saanichcat

good for you bugs. I will make it. I quit a few months ago but but it jumped on me bigtime over christmas. No worries. I am forever a non-smoker, just haivng a bad patch

7:23 pm

Bugsaw

Keep the faith then. Bad patches kind of jump out and blindside you. Of course you will be cranky.

As It Happens, CBC AM 690 here. It is read by the now dear and deceased Al Maitland. It is a story about a pilot over the English Channel lost in fog. It is Â½ hour long and lasts in your mind forever.

7:28 pm

saanichcat

AIH starts at 6:30; the story usually is about 7:30 or 8:00 --- CBC would have the details

7:29 pm

Bugsaw

Of course. Every time they give out their address they say AIH and I think, how unfortunate. I will listen. What time is the start? It is the Antoine saint- exupery story or have I misremembered that too?

7:29 pm

Bugsaw

I will check. Thanks for the tip

7:29 pm

saanichcat

AND WHAT, ME, CRANK???????

7:32 pm

Bugsaw

hee hee hee or perhaps Ho Ho HO would be more appropriate

7:34 pm

saanichcat

HA HA Bugs you are cheering me up! The original story was by Frederick Forsythe (sp?)

7:35 pm

Bugsaw

It sounds vaguely familiar in the deep recesses of my addled mind. I am looking forward to it now.

7:39 pm

saanichcat

We will listen together then my friend. Have Merry Christmas..all of you xo

7:51 pm

Bugsaw

and God bless us, every one!
