1:36 am

Glantarell

are you spending Xmas with your children Spriote?

1:38 am

sprite

we aren't much for celebrating Xmas, I am afraid. Our son will be away. Our daughter will come home and we will have a very relaxed couple of days, with candles, couch hanging + binge watching series, good but simple food and hopefully a walk in the woods.

1:38 am

Glantarell

that sounds nice and relaxed

1:39 am

sprite

it will be. New Year will only be my love and I, kids will be with their friends.

1:40 am

Glantarell

I am ignoring new year this year :)

1:41 am

sprite

*grin* I were considering going to bed early... but then we found out who is doing the yearly old year conference/cabaret... and we love her and her humour so we will be watching.

9:49 am

m9f9l

Still looking mool?

9:49 am

penquis

was hoping for a larger grid today....

9:50 am

m9f9l

Yeah.. it's a super fast one too

9:50 am

penquis

i just started a few minutes ago and i am down to 17...so i guess it is kinda fast....

9:50 am

m9f9l

Yup!

9:51 am

penquis

too bad they don't have an archive of older grids here...

9:51 am

m9f9l

By the time you get to the semi weird ones, there's only so many 4 and 5 left, so you can practically monkey it!

9:51 am

m9f9l

That would be cool.

9:51 am

m9f9l

You mean to replay?

9:52 am

penquis

the grid is not taking my words right now... :o(

9:52 am

penquis

yes, or to play ones you missed because you had other things to do that day....

9:52 am

moolingwa

9:53 am

moolingwa

yes, it's a 6

9:53 am

jaybo33

OHH!

9:53 am

penquis

what letter?

9:54 am

jaybo33

that would be a capital

9:54 am

m9f9l

I'm guessing mool is looking for the de6

9:54 am

moolingwa

jay, it has another meaning

9:54 am

moolingwa

apparently it was a device for heating up water

9:54 am

moolingwa

per M-W

9:55 am

penquis

9:55 am

m9f9l

I always assumed they were referring to the lab burner

9:55 am

9:55 am

they are m9, but it's easier to clue off of the volcano :)

9:56 am

penquis

i have a de 6, but it doesn't have to do with a lab....

9:57 am

m9f9l

no.. the lab was about the et4!

9:57 am

penquis

9:58 am
