5:10 am

hi sweetie, just one day, lol. Family constellation day yesterday, didn't I tell you? So sorry.
5:11 am
grannyrose
ahhhh and was it good?
5:11 am
sprite
it was wonderful. So touching and true. I wish every day could be like that.
5:12 am
grannyrose
lovely darling.
5:13 am
sprite
thanks for your lovely long email, btw. Glad to hear the machine is doing its job. wondering about the adhesive pads. Any way to cushion the effect on your skin? Cream? Bind with bandages instead of adhesive tape?
5:13 am
sprite
oh and btw.... *double hugs* for yesterday and today
5:14 am
grannyrose
oh, i have found a way to take them off. i just have to peel slowly with one hand and hold the skin with the other.
5:15 am
sprite
ah good. Perhaps rather 'roll' them off than pull.
5:15 am
grannyrose
sort of, and we have found pads without gel which you hold in place with a stretch bandage like tubigrip.
5:16 am
sprite
*giggles* Seems our minds follow the same track.
5:16 am
grannyrose
*giggle* and this is new how??
5:18 am
sprite
true, dat. I am gonna do some baking today. Last monday at training someone had a birthday and had decided to bring treats. So the trainer asked who would have a birthday next week, lol. I said I didn't, but was willing to bring something nice.
5:19 am
grannyrose
lovely sweetie, you are so thoughtful. btw have you heard back from pugs?
5:19 am
sprite
and, I bought all I needed on Friday, so I don't have to go to the stores today.
5:19 am
sprite
no, not yet.
5:20 am
grannyrose
yay for forward thinking and planning.only way to do something like that. divide the task into manageable bits. good on you!!
5:21 am
sprite
yeah am happy with myself. Doing well on spacing my activities and get enough rest and still get stuff done.
5:21 am
sprite
and my girl is back home. She had a lovely time in england.
5:22 am
grannyrose
oh good for her. and how did she handle speaking in english only?
5:23 am
sprite
it was no problem at all. She even got surprised reactions from outsiders when she told them she was dutch.
5:23 am
grannyrose
WTG CAYA!!!!!
5:24 am
sprite
yeah she rocks. It is great to have her back home.
5:25 am
grannyrose
and how did she go with the flying?
5:26 am

she did ok. She managed her fear. Only landing here at Schiphol wasn't smooth, and she had a scare there.
5:29 am
grannyrose

*giggle*
5:33 am
sprite
hm velcro is capitalised, I guess
5:34 am
grannyrose
yup. but it has moved into everyday vernacular. you think it should be in the dictionary.
5:35 am
sprite
it probably is, in a more modern version of the wordlist. Remember, this list is from before 'internet'
5:35 am
grannyrose
lollll. true

Ceramic tile is nice as a kitchen floor...however it makes for a dangerous place when water gets spilled...which is constantly in a kitchen
7:25 pm

7:25 pm
zoozzoom
Yes it certainly does, Molly.
7:26 pm
Lizlin
Thanks zooz and min. True Molly and I'm not sure that we would've chosen ceramic tiles - most of the house is tiled though and it's far too expensive to replace. In addition a big positive is that the tiles are wonderfully cool in summer.
7:28 pm
