flosey

hi Sprite

1:01 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Sprite :) Good to see you again.

1:02 am

sprite

hi flosey :)

1:02 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Good to be here again. How are you and your beloved doing?

1:03 am

Lizlin

We're fine - exhausted from pre Passover cleaning!

1:03 am

grannyrose

oh my goodness!! *absolutely smothers sprite with hugs and kisses* hello dear friend.

1:03 am

Lizlin

How are things with you?

1:03 am

sprite

*hugs rose long and close* Hello my darling. How are you?

1:04 am

sprite

good to hear, Liz! Yeah, that is something, that cleaning, isn't it... not a spot in the house that has been skipped. Awesome.

1:04 am

grannyrose

really well. that last infusion is still holding on. i am gardening, hanging out the wash, cleaning floors.

1:05 am

grannyrose

oh and....TA DA !! i pick up a lovely big cheque tomorrow. * enormous sigh of relief*

1:05 am

flosey

great news Rose - but don't overdo it

1:05 am

sprite

things are ok here. All under control, and not as exhausting as they have been, lol. Rob back to normal, all pre-final tests over, kids behaving.

1:05 am

Lizlin

That's good Sprite. We're about 1/2 way through the house.

1:06 am

Lizlin

Great news, Rose.

1:06 am

grannyrose

finally sprite, you poor love. now your R&R starts.

1:06 am

sprite

oh rose, how wonderful that you are feeling well. The infusion regime seems to work now, doesn't it. And YAYYYY for the cheque. About freakin' time, isn't it? Finally you will be able to relax. Expect a surge of energy when you have it... and a couple of days of exhaustion after :)

1:07 am

sprite

how are you, flosey?

1:07 am

grannyrose

lolll yes mum !

1:07 am

sprite

*giggles*

1:08 am

flosey

keeping well Sprite, thanks

1:08 am

sprite

good to hear, flosey. Still going strong with bridge?

1:08 am

grannyrose

going out with herinferalady and her fella tonight. local indian restaurant. it does the best butter chicken EVER !!

1:09 am

sprite

R&R... no kidding. From today until Sunday, NO appointments! Only laundry and tomorrow some grocery shopping and cooking. And that, she wrote, is ALL I am gonna do.

1:09 am

Lizlin

I know that's a fav of yours. If you like Indian food, you have to eat it in the UK - it's the home of Indian food outside India!

1:09 am

sprite

omg rose... wish I could join you. Give the girl a big hug from me, please.

1:09 am

grannyrose

YAYAYAYAY!!!!

1:10 am

Lizlin

That sounds good Sprite - stick to it ;)

1:10 am

grannyrose

will do sprite. and liz...right after i have had a holiday with you, and then groovy kiwi.

1:11 am

Lizlin

Sounds good to me. I'm desperate to find good Indian food here. It's all smothered in sauces.

1:11 am

sprite

yeah I intend to say NO to everything they will ask of me here.

1:12 am

Lizlin

With a huge smile on your face.

1:12 am

sprite

ummmmm rose... and when are the netherlands planned?

1:12 am

sprite

exactly, Liz :)

1:12 am

Lizlin

With the UK, I'd guess.

1:13 am

grannyrose

right after that sweetie. i want to find out how well i travel.

1:13 am

Lizlin

Is there likely to be a problem?

1:14 am

sprite

*pouts*
First Liz, then Kiwi, then Liz and then me? Awwwww.

1:14 am

Lizlin

You should move closer! Best til last?

1:15 am

sprite

who knows, some day. Last night I dreamed my beloved had died :( :( But in my dream I took a plane to rose and moved in with her and Don, lol.

1:16 am

Lizlin

She'd be OK with that. In fact happy, I'd guess.

1:16 am

grannyrose

liz, travelling actually is almost as damaging as a lot of physical stuff, at least for me, and i am thinking also sprite. our bodies don't like hurtling through the air at 100's of kph

1:16 am

Lizlin

But hopefully that won't happen for ages and ages and you'll both be very old women by then.

1:16 am

sprite

I doubt it, grin. Visiting is rather different from moving in :D

1:16 am

Lizlin

I really hope you'll be OK to travel, Rose.

1:17 am

Lizlin

There's so much world waiting for you out there.

1:17 am

grannyrose

nope, we'll stick out the back of the house, in your own little house, and i could visit for a cuppa and chat

1:17 am

grannyrose

OR NOT !! roflol

1:18 am

sprite

very true, Rose. I think that however things work out, you should plan for some recovery days after each flight.

1:18 am

Lizlin

And I'd come down and interrupt your peaceful existence :)

1:18 am

sprite

ohhhh wouldn't that be grand, rose?

1:18 am

Lizlin

What Sprite says is right - don't underestimate the effect of jet lag.

1:18 am

grannyrose

oh wouldn't that be wonderful....and i would ask groovy over, and invite herin to things too

1:19 am

grannyrose

bl

1:19 am

grannyrose

bl

1:19 am

Lizlin

And Don could escape with hubby and heron's other half.

1:19 am

grannyrose

aarrgghh!! *blinks* when did i finish the m's?

1:19 am

Lizlin

*herin

1:20 am

grannyrose

oh yes, and even if rob came over with sprite, well that would be that.

1:20 am

sprite

oh LOL are you looking for more M words after greying out the tile?

1:20 am

Lizlin

That'd be the best.

1:20 am

Lizlin

Just found an m - red wine. 2 m's left now.

1:21 am

grannyrose

yup...i was having a brain-f**t as herin says

1:21 am

sprite

that would be the best of all

1:22 am

sprite

it is one of the reasons I don't chat on after finishing the grid. I cannot seem to stop looking for words.

1:23 am

grannyrose

it drives me crazy when i find that what i think is a phantom is actually there. *sigh*

1:23 am

Lizlin

I hate that too.

1:26 am

Lizlin

I was convinced "inset" was not in the grid yesterday and didn't try it until this morning. :(

1:26 am

sprite

hahaha same things happen to me. Nothing like babble to show you how your mind works.

1:27 am

Lizlin

Inset was what teacher training days were called in the UK - so something I'd rather not think about :)

1:27 am

sprite

:D

1:31 am

grannyrose

btw... an incredible package arrived today from puglet. i started laughing as i unwrapped the first thing, by the time i finished i was in tears(of laughter). sprite it is your fault...you started the squirrel thingy.

1:32 am

grannyrose

i'll brb. time to bring in todays wash. xoxox

1:32 am

sprite

hahaha I take full responsibilty :D

1:33 am

sprite

Lizlin

Thanks. Easy with that clue.

1:45 am

sprite

yeah but that does not make a combo :D

1:46 am

Lizlin

me 4 /5 - so yes, it does. More familiar to me ending in a d.

1:47 am

Lizlin

Must stop trying segregate!

1:47 am

1:47 am

sprite
