Lizlin

Hi - how are you?

2:32 am

grannyrose

good thanx. trying using the pain patches differently. significant improvement.

2:32 am

grannyrose

how are you? been to gym today?

2:32 am

Lizlin

Happy to hear that. How different?

2:33 am

grannyrose

i found an ar4 which wasn't covered by the size i was cutting. double the size.

2:34 am

Lizlin

Happy that's working. My day was OK. MADE

2:34 am

grannyrose

but the sweats have started again..* sigh * did i tell you my next infusion is next tuesday?

2:34 am

Lizlin

Made challah, went to gym, emailed an old uni friend. Usual stuff.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Grrrr! No, happy that it's soon. Hoping for another good outcome.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Grrrr was for the sweats.

2:36 am

grannyrose

have been thinking on that space. have you a display cabinet for pretty china, crystal, silver?

2:37 am

Lizlin

No - on both counts! But we also thought about something similar. I guess we'll know it when we see it.

2:40 am

Lizlin

Both counts meaning we don't really have the type of stuff to display. Thinking possibly of something tall, with fronds or similar.

2:40 am

grannyrose

how about a tall earthernware type of urn. so4 of egyptian.

2:41 am

Lizlin

Possibly. I think we need to look around.

2:43 am

Lizlin

Only problem is neither of us likes shopping, so I reckon we'll stumble on something by chance.

2:44 am

grannyrose

try looking on line. sites like temple and webster

2:45 am

Lizlin

Will do - thanks for the suggestion.

2:56 am

Lizlin

Looks like a lovely store. Thanks again.

3:00 am

grannyrose

don't tell peter i suggested it. especially if you find something on it.

3:01 am

Lizlin

Lol! I'll totally blame you ;)

3:01 am

Lizlin

Pooh! Down to 5%

3:01 am

grannyrose

4:11 am

grannyrose

hey ya diz. what's the weather doing up there?

4:11 am

dizgrannie

I have resorted to Lickety

4:12 am

dizgrannie

piddling down rain here, what about down there?

4:12 am

grannyrose

god bless him. he is such a life-saver. sweet and a hole in the middle.

4:13 am

grannyrose

we've had a couple of ripper thunder storms. and it is cold and damp.

4:13 am

dizgrannie

lifesaver more like it

4:15 am

dizgrannie

we have been predicted rain for the next week...hopefully the sun will shine tomorrow week for the Centenary of ANZACs

4:16 am

dizgrannie

actually I need to change my pic

4:16 am

grannyrose

my hope also diz. i was stunned when i went to buy my Anzac badge this week. they have airforce and navy hats as well as the army slouch hat.

4:16 am

grannyrose

my dad was airforce.

4:20 am

dizgrannie

my Dad was AIF, Uncle was one of the Rats of Tobruk. Bro in laws Viets.

4:21 am

grannyrose

it would seem your family has done it's bit, diz.

4:22 am

dizgrannie

my profile pic is one that a person took of a sunset about a week ago...it eerily depicts a slouched hat

4:23 am

dizgrannie

sorry meant...digger in a slouched hat.

4:26 am

grannyrose

very nice diz

4:31 am

dizgrannie

hopefully our dtr can get us to the Dawn Service at our local RSL....would really lurve to go into the Cenetaph in Sydney, but they are advising peeps to stay away, specially if one is relying on walkers etc (like me) cos they expected it will be packed to the rafters (hopefully it is)

4:32 am

grannyrose

we are having a full blown memorial service in church on sunday. the RSL are attending.

4:35 am

grannyrose

diz, can you watch the 7:30 report, channel 2? a pakistani couple have been abused on a train. an australian girl stood up to the bully.

4:38 am

dizgrannie

Rose, seen that last night and on Utube...I think the old bird is a friggin imbecile for starting on a couple out for the day...good on that young lady for sticking up.

4:39 am

grannyrose

her ignorance is so monumental. it is like an aboriginal coming up to me and accusing me of killing their forebears. i wasn't even born then.

4:39 am

dizgrannie

I am honestly upset that someone in our age group could rant on like that...she needs to be educated

4:40 am

grannyrose

so am i diz.and i agree...there needs to be a national education program happening.

4:40 am

grannyrose

ugh, timer just went off. dinner ready. xoxox

4:41 am

dizgrannie

xoxoo

4:41 am

grannyrose

5:22 am

crosshair

As kids we learned how to use those "J cloths" you buy for the kitchen for that purpose. We would make the cloth slightly damp, then tie a small knot into one corner. You could actually draw blood with those things:)

5:23 am

crosshair

But as young boys we were evil urchins;)

5:24 am

grannyrose

crossy i thought of you earlier this week. i was out for lunch, and as i considered the three cheese omelet with a side order of bacon and decided against it....i thought, crossy is probably spinning in his bed right now.

5:25 am

crosshair

mmm, why one earth did you not order the three-cheese omelet with a side of bacon?? Sounds perfect!

5:25 am

rubyfoo

hah! He is having a tete-a-tete with the lady I've hired to help him with his shower and dressing. He has no trouble hearing her or having a sensible conversation.

5:25 am

crosshair

I love it. Women around the globe think of me whenever bacon is involved in anything:))

5:25 am

rubyfoo

He saves the crazy sh** for me!

5:26 am

crosshair

When my father suffered from his confabulation episodes and were were trying to get him squared away, he could turn the charm and the wit on for the govt workers like a switch. just long enough to pass their requirements so he was deemed fully competent to manage his own affairs.

5:28 am

crosshair

Howdy, Zooz

5:29 am

rubyfoo

5:42 am

crosshair

I trust my beloved with my very life and vice versa.

5:48 am

crosshair

When I was so sick almost ten years ago she fed me, bathed me, saw that I was warm and comfortable at a point in my life when my body was so damaged by medication that i could not even see to my own simple every day needs. a soon as I was well enough I repaid in kind when she went under the knife:) I put my heart and soul into her hand without hesitation because I know that there is no safer place in this world for it than in her care;)

5:48 am

car.eeyore

Oh, Crossy...that is so amazing! :)

5:49 am

It is a rare give that i have been given

5:50 am

crosshair

5:55 am

grannyrose

5:56 am

crosshair

I understand. My beloveds first partner was abusive. it took the entire first year of our relationship for her not to flinch when i went in for a hug:(

5:57 am

grannyrose

5:57 am

crosshair

I still bounce to Fahrenheit now and then , but since there are only a tiny handful of places still officially using it, I only alter it when speaking with my American friends

6:17 am

crosshair

6:17 am

crosshair

We changed over in 1978
