2:34 am
worzel
I shall be on holiday from work next week so shall be thinking of you xx
2:35 am
grannyrose
dad is very busy. he has become the unofficial maintenance person for our church. he is actually loving it.
2:35 am
worzel
I guess it keeps him out of mischief, as my elders used to say! Hark at me, elders - I'm fast becoming an elder myself lol!!!
2:35 am
grannyrose
lots of outside work. all good if it isn't raining. but we appear to be having another summer at the mo'.
2:36 am
grannyrose
ROFLOL !! omg... you had better not be....i'm not old enough for that...
2:37 am
grannyrose
are you able to go away for a bit, worzel? or are you going to use the time to spruce up the garden a bit? and how are your seedlings going?
2:38 am
worzel
I don't often feel my age, tbh (which is 45) and I certainly don't act i (which is a good thing in some ways). I can still party with the best of them, only nowadays it's not as often, and not for as long as when I was a nipper!!
2:39 am
grannyrose
it had better not be... lolll mind you i think i can still drink you and your brothers under the table...
2:40 am
worzel
I can't go away as we have a dog and a budgie to look after, plus I haven't saved enough for a really nice holiday yet. Diane has never actually been on holiday in her entire life and I want it to be the most magical experience I can give her when we do in a couple years' time. I have many seedlings growing this year - from flowers to veggies - even planted some on yesterday in the ground. Strange thing is we are having very unusual weather here at the moment - one minute it's a mini-heatwave, the next minute it's frosty at night and they're even talking about snow tonight! Still, I'm glad you're having a summer lol. As for drinking me and bros under the table, I don't doubt that for a minute hee hee
2:41 am
grannyrose
dad has been out on the moto guzzi this afternoon. has blown a few cobwebs away.
2:42 am
grannyrose
well done you, worzel. with the garden i mean... well with everything to be truthful. can you cover the seedlings? even sheets of newspaper will elp to protect them.
2:45 am
grannyrose
i am actually starting to get out in the garden again. after a few abortive attempts of only 10 minutes, i went out for 40 minutes the other day. yes i know, it's not like the full day i used to put in, but every little bit helps, right?
2:45 am
worzel
We have a mini greenhouse. It's made of metal rods and covered by a plastic sheet. It's quite amazing, actually, how much warmth it harbours and stores. The ones that have been planted in the garden have been hardened off already so they're probably going to be fine (it's tomatoes and peppers and they look really healthy) Also I have started cutting back on food and am taking a supplement called raspberry ketones which are supposed to suppress your appetite and boost your metabolism. I don't know about the boosting, but it's certainly suppressing my appetite. I've actually lost 6 pounds in the last month!
2:45 am
worzel
And I'm so glad you're able to get out in the garden - even if it is only for short bursts - it'll take time, but you'll get there - you're a strong woman mum!!
2:46 am
grannyrose
WOW!!!! good for you, sweetie
2:46 am
worzel
oh crap sorry
2:46 am
grannyrose
no problems honeu. i am done and dusted. but other players will appreciate your apology.
2:47 am
grannyrose
ugh.... my typing is sooo bad tonight. *honey*
2:47 am
grannyrose
at least the keys are next to each other... the y and u....
2:48 am
worzel
haha!!! Anyway, mum, I'm off to get a cup of tea and then I have to go to the shops - i'm having a rare day off today and need some new clothes to fit my reducing waistline! I hope you have a restful night and give dad my love - both of you take care yea? xx
2:48 am
grannyrose
we will sweetheart. enjoy your day and lots of hugs to you both.
2:49 am

4:39 am
MollyL
The he8 was purely a guess on my part. Never heard of the term before.
4:39 am
Kallia
well he is not headwear lol
4:40 am
zoozzoom
Second part, Kallia think of what F! cars do.
4:40 am
zoozzoom
F1 cars*
4:41 am
MollyL
Oh, I thought you were swearing Zoom
: P
4:41 am
Kallia
is that where you just think you've won?
4:41 am
zoozzoom
Correct.
4:41 am
zoozzoom
LOL me swear, Molly! Never :-)
4:44 am
MollyL
Well Zoom, we all have our moments
: D
4:45 am
zoozzoom
Oh I have had my fair share, Molly lol
4:51 am
zoozzoom
I wonder what qualiications they ask you have to be a CL 6/30 LOL
4:52 am
Kallia
lack of thought, an ability to be enthusiastic about rubbish?
4:52 am
zoozzoom
Are you good with your hands LOL
4:54 am
MollyL
That word is usually spelled with an I not an A
4:54 am
Kallia
it's a different meaning Molly
4:56 am
MollyL
Sorry, I meant more people are familiar with the I version. I think Zoom was just letting us know he had found a difficult word. (Gives Zoom a SMARTY PANTS t-shirt)
4:56 am
Kallia
ohyes smarty pants zooz......it's a great word though
4:57 am
zoozzoom
I was just amazed there are jobs of that kind out there and have never seen them advertised!
4:58 am
zoozzoom
Probably used for politician rallies lol
4:59 am
Kallia
well they hire people to create disturbances,whynot to cheer?
4:59 am
Kallia
lol same thought here
5:02 am
Kallia
ok housework(!) calls bye Zooz and Molly
5:02 am
Kallia
ok housework(!) calls bye Zooz and Molly
5:03 am
zoozzoom
Take care, Kallia. hope you can get some rest and have a great day with your friend tomorrow :-)
5:06 am
MollyL
Ah, Kallia ducks out right before she gets sent to the PB
: D
5:07 am
zoozzoom
Well I know I am in the PB :-(
5:09 am
MollyL
I have heard people referred to as audience plants, but never that word. Perhaps it is a European term.
5:10 am
zoozzoom
Must admit, Molly. I have not seen it before.
5:12 am
MollyL
It seems like one of those words someone would use if they wanted to impress you with their vocabulary
5:14 am
zoozzoom
Maybe! But If I was to do that I would prefer to use the word syllogism :-)
5:14 am
MollyL
*Hands Zoom a BRAINIAC t-shirt
5:15 am
MollyL
Zoom, overuse of words like that will cause people to back off slowly, while looking at you in a funny way
: D
5:16 am
zoozzoom
Oh I get the funny looks anyway LOL
5:19 am
zoozzoom
Well I have finished and will get going with my day. Hope you have a great day, Molly. And happy babbling everyone!

One of my favorite ski trips was a week in Zermatt, took the Glacier Express across Switzerland into Austria and a week in St. Anton.
9:01 am
rubyfoo
Two of mu Neighbors, both experienced skiers, were terribly injured one winter and I immediately gave away my ski gear
9:01 am
MLFAN17
I have never skied but I have saw on tv and online somewhere that people in wheelchairs do ski
9:02 am
rubyfoo
I think thtat's the train we took from St. Anton and drove the car onto the train
9:02 am
chj
As I got off the train in St. Anton, I was met by a brass band --- not for me, the King of Sweden apparently goes there every year
9:02 am
rubyfoo
MLF: they have a sit-down ski/sled
9:03 am
rubyfoo
Maybe the band was playing for you! We used to stay in Lech, but ski in St. Anton.
9:04 am
rubyfoo
One of the reasons we moved to this part of France ws its proximity to the rest of Europe

wv how did you find a house with almost no stairs in that area?? the houses there are older for them most part aren't they?
9:57 am
wvteach
it is not easy to find one, but there are several areas in town that do offer it - we have a basement but I do not use anything in the basement - all the living space is on the one floor - it is smaller than our former house but it has two bedrooms, living room, bathroom, dining room and kitchen on the main floor. There is a two-room apartment in the basement besides the unfinished half for the basement. We are still on a slight hill - front door and basement door both are at ground level
9:59 am
wvteach
most houses in new subdivisions (like where my younger son lives) do have steps

well.. ondine is a decent producer.. the wine you mentioned comes from the Ventoux area. It is mostly Grenache. I like the Ondine Vacqueyras a lot.. probably costs a little more
11:22 am
rururocks
if I remember correctly.. their Cotes du Rhone is 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. I love the grape Grenache.. it's easy to enjoy. The pricing seems fair for that wine. It'd be worth a try. I'd have it with lighter foods though or pastas
