3:36 am

3:36 am

zoozzoom

haha so it looks or nice and shiney again!

3:37 am

grannyrose

3:38 am

zoozzoom

It was my step dads 80th borthday yesterday, Rose.We had a nice low-key party for him.As he hates any fuss.We had party poppers and ballooons for the children to muck about with plus cake!

4:17 am

good morning all

4:18 am

zoozzoom

hello, sprite :-)

4:18 am

sprite

hey zooz! Best wishes for your dad!

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Thanks!

4:19 am

zoozzoom

how is your new diet going?

4:20 am

sprite

mwah... it is going, but it would help if my bl***** son wouldn't eat up my veggies on the sly.

4:20 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my dearest sprite

4:20 am

sprite

hello my dear rose *hugs* Bowels getting a bit of a workout, huh :(

4:20 am

zoozzoom

And he knows they are yours?

4:21 am

grannyrose

oh good grief....smack his fingers and tell mitts off.

4:22 am

sprite

yep, he should have known, since we talked it over the day before during dinner... Rob had cooked me extra because he wouldn't be home for dinner yesterday. So blech. Of course, the kid claims he did not know... and became rude when I got mad...

4:22 am

grannyrose

slowed down now. *sigh* i really must say no to fat...

4:22 am

sprite

poor rose. Yeah, especially so shortly after the infusion.

4:22 am

zoozzoom

Well now that has happened it he will have no excuse for the next time!

4:22 am

grannyrose

so now you have to write him little notes and/or stick your name on the containers.

4:23 am

grannyrose

it's so ridiculous.

4:24 am

sprite

oh he doesn't need an excuse. Saying he didn't listen and I should make sure he hears before I assume he knows. It is always my fault if he messes up.

4:24 am

sprite

yep. Am gonna make a label sheet today and put it on the fridge. Stupid so-and-so

4:25 am

sprite

ks killed

4:25 am

zoozzoom

((Sprite)) Try not let that spoil the rest of your day :-)

4:26 am

sprite

I won't :D Especially since I get to share the first part with you guys.
How did your dad like his birthday?

4:27 am

zoozzoom

well at first he was not happy as he hates any fuss.But as time went on you could see he enjoyed himself.

4:27 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* domestic deafness strikes again.

4:27 am

sprite

lol too true. Your home is improving now, isn't it, rose... with Don being so active.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

It was so hot in the house that day as they get cold easily.But with nine people in the house it was roasting..lol

4:28 am

sprite

omg indeed. I really understand that elderly people get cold more easily, especially if they don't move about much. But ugh it can be so stiffling.

4:29 am

grannyrose

oh yes, it is. btw talked to my case worker. apparently last IME says i can work 3 hours 3 days/week. but with all the provisos he has put into the report, it will be a miracle if they can find me a job.

4:30 am

sprite

3x3 hours? Ridiculous. Glad the provisos are there.

4:30 am

grannyrose

my car park must be within so many feet of my work station, as does the loo. i may not use public transport, and on and on.

4:31 am

grannyrose

and my case worker is behind me 100%. he is not allowed to say so, but i think he really wishes i don't have to return to work.

4:32 am

sprite

ah good. That will help. you really need people in your corner.

4:33 am

grannyrose

it's hysterical really. if the company knew how he really felt, he would be out of a job. but he truly understands how restricted i am.

4:34 am

sprite

well that is at least a plus. Yay for people with hearts and minds.

4:35 am

sprite

zooz, what are your plans for today?

4:35 am

grannyrose

sweetheart, i like to think the case speaks for itself. the IME had to recommend something. and as i told you, any company's medical exam is going to fail me.

4:36 am

zoozzoom

Hang on

4:36 am

grannyrose

*hanging on*

4:36 am

sprite

*hanging on too*

4:38 am

grannyrose

don was putting up brackets over his work bench in the garage today. it sounded like he was drilling through the spare bedroom wall....lol...i did get a bit worried.

4:38 am

sprite

here, that wouldn't matter, rose. If an assessment doctor says you can do some sorts of work and the occupational hazard says some jobs are within your possibilities, your benefit is based on that.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Sorry about that..sister just came round but i am waiting in for a parcel for my friend.

4:39 am

grannyrose

and apparently, centrelink know all about my workcover payments, and my case worker says if i haven't heard from them, i am still entitled to hold the pension card.

4:39 am

sprite

np zooz, real life comes first!

4:41 am

grannyrose

just went out to the kitchen. dinner will be ready in just over 8 minutes.

4:41 am

zoozzoom

Typical though.as my friend has bought his girlfriend a present but he is at work so can not receive it.Asked me to take delivery for him. But it mucks up my day now. Was hoping it would of been here by now. Never mind.

4:42 am

sprite

yeah, that sucks, zooz. Not having a job does not mean you can be available all the time. You have a right to your own life.

4:42 am

grannyrose

ugh, zooz. what a pity!! and how kind of you to step up to the mark like that.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

If that is all i have to worry about.i am doing well..lol

4:44 am

sprite

true, lol. But it still does mess up your day, and that is no joy.

4:47 am

sprite

if the weather holds, I am gonna put in some gardening time today. Some stuff can be sowed now.

4:48 am

grannyrose

oh nice sprite. lucky you! mind you i have been eyeing off some easy gardening i could do.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Sounds good.What seeds/plants you going to plant?

4:49 am

grannyrose

timer went off. dinner ready. xoxox to you both.

4:49 am

sprite

you should ask Don to make you some gardens-on-tables. Basically a box on legs.

4:49 am

sprite

enjoy your dinner, darling

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy your meal, Rose :-)

4:50 am

sprite

I seriously doubt the presence of 231 words in this grid

4:51 am

zoozzoom

True..lol I am down to 59 words to find.and starting to slow down now.

4:52 am

sprite

that does not sound too bad. I have 92 words in and am slowing down already.

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Nah it will open up for you.that I am sure.

4:53 am

sprite

let's hope for a second wind at some point, grin. At least I got the Ks nailed.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

The 8s & 9s are very easy to find in this grid.

4:54 am

sprite

I found one combo of those

4:57 am

zoozzoom

I still need one K.

4:57 am

sprite

do you have 2x K5?

4:58 am

zoozzoom

I have the K 5/18

4:58 am

sprite

ah, you are missing the ke5/24. Ends in a higher-scoring tile

4:59 am

zoozzoom

Oh ok looking...

4:59 am

crosshair

Good morning, my friends:)

4:59 am

zoozzoom

Ha found it just like that! Thanks, Sprite :-)

5:00 am

zoozzoom

5:03 am

sprite

5:03 am

sprite

and *hugs* for matty goo

5:03 am

sprite

goo? GOO? TOO!

5:03 am

zoozzoom

KO5 a bit like a fizzy frink but with a different last vowel.

5:04 am

zoozzoom

Drink not frink..lol

5:04 am

sprite

frink = fuzzy drink. Works for me.

5:04 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:04 am

grannyrose

mattygroves

5:05 am

zoozzoom

Phone.

5:06 am

sprite

wb rose, you should chew better, lolollll (sorry, that is not funny for you. Here it refers to a hilarious dialogue between to famous theater artists.)

5:07 am

sprite

if you can't plural it, it isn't the Marco P*** one.

5:07 am

grannyrose

i guessed that...lol....

5:07 am

mattygroves

I have the marco one, and the sharp one

5:08 am

5:11 am

5:17 am

5:17 am

crosshair

That's the one, Zooz

5:17 am

grannyrose

oh, crossy...do you have three legs?

5:17 am

sprite

yeah right, rose. And I just noticed that the lower limb has become a higher limb. Bad girl.

5:18 am

crosshair

Bring it on. We can leave the place to the dolphins. I am sure they will do a better job.

5:18 am

sprite

dolphins are so much smarter than Man, lol.

5:18 am

5:20 am

crosshair

5:21 am

zoozzoom

That link for the Lyrid meteor shower.is crazy long.I just noticed it is over 7 hours long!!

5:21 am

crosshair

For a year after I first read that book I always carried a beach towel wherever I went;)

5:21 am

zoozzoom

I would not bother unless you are mad for it of course..lol

5:21 am

Hello, Liz :-)

5:22 am

sprite

"Mr. Dent, you cannot lie in front of this bulldozer forever."
"Oh I can't? See who rusts first?"

5:23 am

crosshair

It is comforting for you ladies though. After reading that book you know you can get a dgynn and tonyxx wherever you go in the galaxy

5:23 am

Lizlin

Wish I could think of a clever answer to that, Rose.

5:23 am

sprite

hello dear Liz :D

5:23 am

rururocks

*wonders if rose was pulling the wrong limb on porpoise*

5:23 am

5:24 am

Lizlin

Hi Ru - up early - or late!

5:24 am

Lizlin

Nes!

5:24 am

crosshair

Now one of the cats tried to stalk me. had to bonk it on the head with a roll of paper towel. I best give them breakfast brb

5:24 am

sprite

douglas adams is so witty. I could quote him for hours, lol.

5:24 am

grannyrose

ruru, what would the porpoise be in that??

5:25 am

grannyrose

choking on my laughter, liz. xoxox

5:25 am

Lizlin

Like I said, a quick visit. Bbl to find some words :) Hugs all around.

5:25 am

grannyrose

5:26 am

sprite

bye Liz *hugs*

5:27 am

crosshair

5:27 am

sprite

wait until cat sits down on queen Liz and then stands up again.

5:28 am

crosshair

i think I shall save myself some grief and mail her off

5:29 am

crosshair

with her heft she will most likely come back postage due;(

5:29 am

sprite

rose, one of my favo Douglas Adams quotes: "The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

5:30 am

sprite

you can mail her to me, crossy. I collect stamsp for a charity, and I love cats.

5:30 am

grannyrose

absolutely sprite.

5:30 am

grannyrose

absolutely sprite.

5:30 am

grannyrose

ugh, flippin' hiccup

5:30 am

zoozzoom

haha i just looked at that one, Sprite!

5:31 am

sprite

lol the hiccup was half an hour ago, m'dear. This was your twitchy pinkie again.

5:31 am

zoozzoom

also. I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

5:31 am

sprite

yeah, that is a good one. Very deep.

5:31 am

grannyrose

i so love the absurdity in the chapter where he arrives home again, and the bulldozer is there.

5:32 am

sprite

ohhhh me too! He thought: Yellow! And tried to connect the thought to something else. He set up his shaving mirror and stuck out his tongue. Yellow.

5:32 am

grannyrose

what am i saying?? all his books are hilarious.

5:33 am

crosshair

You would love her, Sprite. her name is Aberakadabera Hocus-Pocus. She is a ginger kitty, and weighs 15 pounds. We call her Abby for short

5:33 am

sprite

awwww so sweet, crossy. Yeah I would love her. But she is perfectly happy with you guys, grin.

5:34 am

crosshair

She has that name because she can escape form any leash, cat carrier or harness at will.

5:34 am

sprite

she is a smart one then, crossy

5:36 am

sprite

â€œThe ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.â€

5:36 am

crosshair

the 8000 ways to have a gin and tonic and the famous gargle blaster:)

5:37 am

zoozzoom

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

5:37 am

crosshair

The planet of sentient mattresses:)

5:37 am

sprite

oh yes! That is why the HGTTG is more popular than the galactic encyclopedia.

5:38 am

crosshair

now that is one of my favorites, zooz and I have already printed out a copy of that one and it is by my work desk

5:38 am

doseffing

...flying is simply throwing oneself at the ground and missing

5:38 am

zoozzoom

LOl

5:38 am

sprite

or the planet that is so touristic, it is eroded away and you have to have surgically removed any excess weight when you leave.

5:38 am

sprite

lol dos, niceeee

5:39 am

crosshair

I wish some of our tourists could be surgically removed

5:39 am

zoozzoom

That bad huh, Crossy :-(

5:40 am

doseffing

... oh well ... gotta run ... keep your towels handy!

5:41 am

sprite

As it happened, "None at all" was exactly how much awareness the bulldozer boss had of his being a descendant of Chaka Khan.

Hello, Scrabs!

5:49 am

zoozzoom

Was watching a re-homing show for pets on TV last night, Scrabs.Thought of you as they had some beautiful rabbits looking for a new home :-)

5:49 am

Scrabbler

I had great difficulty becoming vertical this morning. My alarm went off at 6 and 30 minutes later I got out of bed.

5:50 am

sprite

some days are like that. I hope you took time for a cup of tea or coffee before work.

5:50 am

zoozzoom

I hate days when i struggle to get out of bed. It only happens to me seven days a week.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Every rabbit I see, I wish I could have here. Actually, I wish every pet could have a home.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

I am sipping coffee now and will leave for work in 45 minutes.

5:51 am

crosshair

Howdy, scrabby. I was woken up by the ice cold, dripping wet nose of a cat being pressed up against my cheek:)

5:51 am

sprite

ah, that is good, Scrabs. And lol zooz!

5:51 am

zoozzoom

I am on my second cup of tea.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, Crossy.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Zooz, it happens to me on days when I must set an alrm.

5:52 am

crosshair

I ignored that and the cat promptly stood on my cojones

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Cojones?

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Ha! The cat learned how to get your attention!

5:52 am

sprite

the family jewels, zooz

5:53 am

zoozzoom

ah a spanish word...lol

5:53 am

sprite

next step would have been a dripping wet cold nose against your cojones, crossy.

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Eeew, Sprite!!

5:53 am

crosshair

That is why I got up after that, sprite

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

5:53 am

sprite

I knew that. As did the cat.

5:54 am

zoozzoom

I need to get image out of my head NOW!

5:54 am

Scrabbler

We got snow overnight--a fresh layer of white on everything out there.

5:54 am

crosshair

There is no sleeping in when it is kitty breakfast time:/

5:54 am

crosshair

We also got some snow, scrabby

5:54 am

zoozzoom

5:54 am

Fortunately the cats claws were sheathed at the time

5:55 am

Scrabbler

I would sell my shrivled soul for some home-made gooseberry jam

6:14 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite.....

6:15 am

crosshair

I last had some over 20 years ago and can still remember it

6:16 am

grannyrose

can i send you some crossy? or would it be prohibited?

6:16 am

crosshair

Stuff is not available commercially, of course. the only way to get it is at the farmers markets

6:16 am

crosshair

Sadly i think customs would interfere--they like gooseberry jam as well it seems:(

6:17 am

grannyrose

poor crossy. i will pack it in my case when we come over, mate

6:17 am

sprite

worth a try though. Pack it in gift paper.

6:18 am

crosshair

Every harvest season you can see me, with a desperate gleam in my eye--haunting the flea markets and farmers stalls with home-make baked goods, and searching in vain for the elusive gooseberry jam.

6:18 am

grannyrose

crossy, do you have customs rules which prohibit it's import?

6:19 am

crosshair

There is a great big long list of stuff that we cannot import privately, but i am not up on all the rules and regs.

6:19 am

crosshair

I would have to do some research

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I found 60 words. Now I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day kids.

6:21 am

sprite

6:22 am

crosshair

That time--twenty years ago, I found a Mennonite family selling jams and jellies at one of our flea markets. they had a dozen small mason jars of it, and You should have seen their faces when I bought the entire lot:)

6:22 am

6:24 am

grannyrose

6:25 am

crosshair

Do they sell it commercially there, rosie, or do you put up your own?

6:25 am

sprite

I hope nothing much. I am gonna shower in a minute. Then translating, a bit of gardening, walking terra. Dieting.

6:25 am

grannyrose

crossy, is there a mennonite settlement near you? could you contact them?

6:26 am

grannyrose

6:26 am

sprite

6:26 am

crosshair

Sadly, no. they come from far and wide. Mostly in small communities far south of me near Kitchener. Though i dearly love it, i will not drive 3 hours each way for it;)
