4:29 am
grannyrose
byz, are you on a new regime with your meds? you seem better to me.
4:29 am
rubyfoo
((rosie)) I have an unmailed letter to you sitting on my desk but, as it has to be weighed, it beomes complicated
4:30 am
grannyrose
no probs dear friend. have you heard from sprite lately? she is MIA and i am a little concerned.
4:31 am
rubyfoo
Rosie, how is your pain? Mine is better, but still taking morph.
4:31 am
grannyrose
ruby, did i tell you? your last batch of books has sparked an absolute reading frenzy in DH. he can't get enough of henning mankell and kurt wallander.
4:32 am
rubyfoo
Byz, what meds do you take? I take close to 20 pills a day, which is pretty bizarre
4:33 am
rubyfoo
That's great! I'll send more with the letter/packag. Next week, I promise
4:33 am
grannyrose
i am so glad your pain levels are finally decreasing. that makes me very happy. my pain levels are also decreased. next monday is FOUR weeks since my last infusion therapy. and i am feeling very like my old self.
4:34 am
rubyfoo
Your self is not so old!!!
4:34 am
grannyrose
um...ruby....how do i tell you?? hmmm. himself went on-line and found all the kurt wallander books and bought them.
4:35 am
grannyrose
*giggle* ruby...gosh i love you.
4:35 am
rubyfoo
OK, so I'll look for something else for Don
4:35 am
rubyfoo
Better to tell me now, lol
4:35 am
grannyrose
at least you have some idea of what entertains him.
4:37 am
rubyfoo
I have, literally, 1000's of books in the house as when we first moved here, my sister used to send me 11 or 12 every month and, like Don, fter one Wallander, I bought all the others.
4:37 am
rubyfoo
Burt even read some of them
4:38 am
grannyrose
byz, c'mon back mate. we are your friends. and i love to 'hear' what you have to say.
4:38 am
rubyfoo
Have you seen the TV series? It's very well made, maybe 6 parts, very nicely done, starring Kenneth Branagh
4:39 am
rubyfoo
come back, Byz, I didn't mean to scare you off!!!
4:39 am
rubyfoo
I think it's a BBC production
4:42 am
grannyrose
i don't recognise him.
4:43 am
rubyfoo
Kenneth Branagh? He was in Henry V with Emma Thompson and has been in a huge range o movies and TV series
4:44 am
rubyfoo
He's a great actor, even in some of his occasionally silly roles
4:47 am
grannyrose
will look out for him then
4:47 am
rubyfoo
I feel like I'm making progress with this grid, but I still haven't broken 100.
4:48 am
grannyrose
byz appears to have gone AWOL. a pity. i enjoy his conversation.
4:48 am

hint ruby...don't forget words ending with t can also swing to the left and hook up with the s.
4:49 am
rubyfoo
There's a wonderful movie named something like "Pirate Radio3 (I don't know the actual name), with Bill Nighy and Phuillip Seymour Hoffman. It's about rock and roll in 60's England (maybe 70's)
4:49 am
rubyfoo
Gee, I could use a few more t's NOT

You should see Red. Helen Mirran stuffing a body in an acid bath (it's a comedy action film)
4:55 am
grannyrose

4:55 am

4:57 am
rubyfoo
How about Love, Actually?
4:58 am

It is a widespread myth that rabbits should eat carrots, but rabbits should eat grasses and hays for a high fiber diet.
