quite good thanx dear. and you and the lovely Diane?

12:24 am

worzel

We are both good thank you. Just on for a quickie before I set off to work x

12:24 am

cybernan

ty and good night everyone. Gday to our Aussie friends ;-)

12:24 am

grannyrose

ahhh. i won't hold you up then...

12:25 am

worzel

You could never hold me up - it's always a pleasure to talk to you x

12:26 am

grannyrose

bless you love. weather has turned cold very rapidly here. did you see in your news broadcasts the terrible weather we have had down the east coast?

12:27 am

worzel

No I didn't - is it your winter season then?

12:27 am

rururocks

quickie over here means something else worzel

12:27 am

grannyrose

yup... with a vengeance.

12:28 am

worzel

Ruru quickie means the same here in the UK - if you've got a dirty mind lol xx

12:28 am

grannyrose

ruru, a quickie is a speed hump.

12:28 am

worzel

I feel for you and your fellow Aussies mum. We are at the start of our summer season here. We've had a couple weeks of nice weather and now it's gone all temperate again - we are having rain and thunderstorms right now

12:29 am

grannyrose

ugh, not nice. humidity must be almost unbearable.

12:30 am

rururocks

speed humps sounds like a game in the Olympics :D

12:30 am

worzel

The humidity can be bearable - we're fortunate that we are a smallish island so the sea always manages to make the humidity copeable. I remember going to the US a few years ago just before their hurricane season and the humidity there was stifling

12:31 am

worzel

lol ruru

12:31 am

grannyrose

lol... ruru.

12:31 am

worzel

Methinks ruru is in a saucy mood today!!

12:31 am

grannyrose

well he is full of ginger at any rate... loll

12:31 am

rururocks

except if you win.. you get a rubber medal

12:32 am

worzel

Ooooo how rude!!! lol

12:32 am

worzel

Was going to ask what do you get if you come second, but I'm not that naughty!!

12:33 am

grannyrose

i love chatting between three different cultures. the misunderstandings can be hysterical.

12:33 am

worzel

Too right!

12:34 am

rururocks

I am guessing the athletes have to stand very erect for the ceremonies

12:34 am

grannyrose

hey worzel, second prize is a rubber duck... that's D...uck.

12:34 am

grannyrose

while wearing their rubber suits ??

12:34 am

worzel

Pole position ruru lmao!!! And mum that's just naughty teehee!!!

12:35 am

worzel

Anyway I really have to dash off to work I shall try and be on tomorrow morning Love to you all and take care xxxxxxxx

12:35 am

grannyrose

*eye roll* at pole position...

12:36 am

grannyrose

xoxox worzel. try and enjoy the day, mate

12:36 am

rururocks

well.. we know what they can hang the Olympic rings on don't we ?

12:36 am

worzel

I shall try - although I have to work outdoors all day and it's going to rain ): Anyway, bye for now and take care xx *poof*

12:36 am

grannyrose

good morning all

2:47 am

sprite

what.... who the heck shrunk my babble?

2:51 am

grannyrose

ummmm....sprite....{{hugs}} and good morning my darling friend.even i finished this one in 22 minutes.

2:52 am

sprite

hi sweetie :) I never time my babbling, it would spoil my fun. But well done, darling! How was your day? And did they like the movie?

2:52 am

grannyrose

i have been very quiet today. resting as tomorrow is church, then only the big guy knows what will happen after... loll

2:53 am

sprite

hehehe... go4 girl!

2:53 am

grannyrose

we think they did, but one of the people was a little disconcerted when the vicar decided to have a group discussion about it.

2:54 am

sprite

oh? Sounds like a very go4 thing to do... why did he/she feel disconcerted?

2:54 am

grannyrose

this person apparently only watches films for the 'scenery'. and she was a tad upset when we started to dissect it.

2:55 am

sprite

tsk. Well... I guess she better stay home and watch dvds by herself then. What did she think, when her church organises movie nights??

2:55 am

grannyrose

i have a feeling she never studied english literature. she would have understood the need to dissect the underlying story line.

2:56 am

grannyrose

me ?? i love a go4 discussion which involves asking questions and understanding the answers.

2:57 am

grannyrose

how was your night, dearest? are you more comfortable this morning?

2:57 am

sprite

she has the right to want to watch a movie just for the scenery, sure. But she shouldn't go to church movie night for it, then. You KNOW there will be a discussion after, and many opportunities to deepen the experience.

2:58 am

sprite

I am sorta ok. Slept very deeply, very intense dreams but not nightmares per se. Still a bit groggy. But today is a day off for me. Just laundry.

2:59 am

3:00 am

sprite

Haz! Great to see you... though I am afraid it is only a slip of the fingertips and you have chat hidden...

3:00 am

grannyrose

oh nice, honey. i hope you can enjoy it to the max. xoxox

3:00 am

grannyrose

and go4 morning haz

3:01 am

sprite

3:01 am

Haz1558

Sorr, just a slip of the fingers.

3:01 am

grannyrose

woohoo!

3:02 am

sprite

still very happy to see you, Haz. Hope you are well!

3:02 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, haz. even so, it is lovely to see you

3:02 am

Haz1558

Thank you, yes I'm fine.

3:03 am

sprite

and is your sweet dog well too?

3:03 am

sprite

dempsey, I believe... not fully sure of the name...

3:04 am

Haz1558

Sitting on my lap and yes, You've got the name right.

3:04 am

sprite

hehehe so he is convinced he is a lapdog. No matter the size.

3:05 am

Haz1558

He just loves getting as close as he can at all times.

3:06 am

sprite

warm, but sweet

3:10 am

Haz1558

Time to get the lap-dog shifted. Have a good day!

3:10 am

Evil computer! lol

6:08 am

sukee

Good morning.

6:08 am

sukee

I'm down to 6

6:09 am

sukee

Just monkeying around now :)

6:09 am

rubyfoo

((sukee)))

6:09 am

rubyfoo

((bichon))

6:09 am

rubyfoo

I have 20 left, but none in sight

6:10 am

sukee

99% of my words are 4 letters

6:11 am

bichon

and obscure at that

6:11 am

rubyfoo

At least it isn't raining -- for now

6:11 am

sukee

Yes, that is why my monkeys are active :)

6:11 am

sukee

Nice here, sunny, going to be warm again...but there may be a thunder storm.

6:11 am

rubyfoo

My monkeys have gone back to bed

6:12 am

sukee

lol

6:12 am

rubyfoo

It stormed AGAIN during the night.

6:12 am

6:14 am

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I'm going back to bed

6:14 am

Do you have the M word that rhymes with it?

6:14 am

rubyfoo

6:15 am

sukee

well, at least I am nbt and nbs

6:15 am

sukee

6:17 am

rubyfoo

I thought I had it, but it just went in both as a 5 and as a 6

6:17 am

sukee

Ah, I hadn't tried that one. Ty

6:17 am

rubyfoo

<-- losing my marbles

6:17 am

sukee

I only had the 5

6:18 am

sukee

I'm going to the list...

6:19 am

rubyfoo

Do either of you know if, when making jam, it doesn't "take" the first time, there is any remedy -- e.g; re-cooking or something?

6:20 am

sukee

Sorry, have never made it.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

I made 4 jars of white peach jam yesterday, and they are totally liquid and run of the toast

6:21 am

sukee

ok, down to 2

6:21 am

rubyfoo

off*

6:22 am

sukee

1

6:22 am

sukee

and firewords

6:23 am

sukee

So many weird words.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

loudly applauding!!

6:24 am

MollyL

You have to add more pectin (non sugar added pectin) And recook it. You can find the "how to" on the internet

6:24 am

sukee

Just as well it is small today, I have some work to do.

6:24 am

sukee

If you don't need a clue I am off to make breakfast

6:25 am

rubyfoo

Thank you, Molly. It probably didn't jell because I make it with less than 50% suggar

6:25 am

rubyfoo

Bye sukee

6:26 am

sukee

Good luck :)

6:26 am

MollyL

Yep, that is your problem. Probably combined with very juicy fruit.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

I'lltry to rescue it a little later

6:26 am

rubyfoo

And peaches have less natural pectin than other fruit, <I think

6:30 am

rubyfoo

Trifioso

hello dear babble friends

8:54 am

Trifioso

short grids on a weekend don't bring joy

9:15 am

rururocks

sure they do

9:15 am

rururocks

frees us up to do other stuff on the weekend

9:19 am

MollyL

I agree Ru. My weekends are busy. I like short ones on the weekend.

9:24 am

rururocks

it's amazing how much abuse these grids take: it's too big, it's too small, it has teeth, it ...

9:26 am

MollyL

Poor grids. They will be in therapy for years.
: D

9:27 am

rururocks

Therapist to Grid: "so what is it that bothers you so much about the comments" Grid: "when they say to go up the corner"

9:29 am

MollyL

Well, in the poor grid's defense, there are the eternally positive who say "fun grid" every day whether it is really fun or not.

9:30 am

rururocks

yep

9:32 am

rururocks

I might actually get some housework done today :D

9:34 am

MollyL

I have a lot of housework on the weekends. Not much time for that after work during the week. Not much energy for it either.

9:35 am

rururocks

I find it's best for me to just pick one or two rooms and do them completely and move on to another on a different day

2:01 pm
