cybernan

12:26 am

hurshy

1:57 am

Glantarell

This is a weird grid

1:57 am

Glantarell

It needs an R :-)

1:58 am

sprite

definitely does. I keep seeing pauper

1:58 am

Glantarell

I keep seeing all sorts of things but none of them are real words LOL

1:59 am

sprite

*grins* one of those grids, hm?

1:59 am

Glantarell

yup, half way and word blind already

2:00 am

sprite

glad to know it isn't just me. Am running out of steam with only 32 words in. And as usually biggie-blind

2:01 am

Glantarell

I would never have got the cl7/8 combo if it hadn'tbeen clued

2:02 am

Glantarell

and I so want apogee

2:02 am

sprite

ok that is one weird biggie combo. Thanks.

2:03 am

sprite

tried that too

2:04 am

Glantarell

the ep7 is not dissimilar

2:06 am

sprite

now I want epizoic

2:06 am

rolin

cannot see the ep7 at all

2:06 am

sprite

hey ro :)

2:06 am

Marc Freeman

could I get a clue for ep7, please?

2:06 am

rolin

hey sprite...

2:06 am

Glantarell

ep + vowel + cons + 2 vowel + cons,

2:07 am

sprite

ends in most of frozen water

2:07 am

Glantarell

no dictionary definition apparently

2:08 am

rolin

thx glant..

2:08 am

Lizlin

Hi and thanks

2:08 am

Glantarell

*hugs Liz*

2:09 am

Lizlin

So useful. Hugs Sprite

2:10 am

Glantarell

ha ha ha

2:10 am

Maisie

Morning all, thanks for that clue. Has anyone ever used that word

2:10 am

Glantarell

new to me today, as was the cl 7/8 combo

2:10 am

sprite

never, lol. I guess biologists do, though

2:10 am

Maisie

me too

2:10 am

sprite

and morning Maisie

2:11 am

Maisie

Morning Sprite

2:11 am

Glantarell

and the up6 is new to me,* looks at the sky*

2:12 am

Lizlin

Thanks :)

2:12 am

Maisie

Sprite, if I booked a hotel in Amsterdam, which area would you suggest

2:14 am

sprite

depends on what you want to do, Maisie, and what you like in a hotel. Center is great for sightseeing and easy access to all public transportation. But not quiet.

2:14 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

2:15 am

Maisie

I wanted to be near the canals it looks pretty and would be nice to walk there I think. I'd like to be within walking distance of everywhere, not much to ask lol

2:16 am

Maisie

Hotel - reasonable price, clean and comfortable

2:17 am

sprite

then center it is. The canals go around the center. You can walk most everywhere from there, and if it is too far, you just hop on a streetcar (tram) and it will take you.

2:17 am

Maisie

Thanks that was helpful. Just got to find time to fit a trip in

2:18 am

Lizlin

Public transport in Amsterdam is really good. Walking around the canals is lovely. We stayed further out and got the team straight into the centre. Very easy.

2:19 am

sprite

there are quite a few hotels on De Dam, which is as central as you can get.

2:19 am

Maisie

Tried to get ther last year but the friend we planned to go with messed us about and the trip never happened

2:20 am

sprite

team = tram lol. Liz has a spelling corrector active

2:20 am

sprite

aw that is a shame. Would be great if you could make it this year

2:20 am

Maisie

Understood what she meant

2:20 am

Lizlin

Yes I noticed that but hoped no one else did ðŸ˜

2:21 am

Maisie

I don't like this grid very much today

2:21 am

sprite

if you go to expedia.nl, you can see how the hotels are rated too, with the prices. Let me see if I can link this for you

2:21 am

Lizlin

Nor me. Stuck with 20 to go.

2:22 am

sprite

here, try this one

2:22 am

TQ

I've never been to Amsterdam but we love brugge

2:22 am

sprite

love this grid, but I am weird that way. I crave challenges.

2:22 am

sprite

Brugge is lovely. Hi TQ.

2:22 am

Lizlin

Remember the lace makers in Brugge from my childhood.

2:23 am

TQ

Hi sprite I'm lurking

2:23 am

Maisie

Thanks Sprite. Have been to Brugge a few times it is lovely

2:23 am

Maisie

Off to check out that link

2:24 am

Lizlin

Taking a break. BBL. Hugs, Sprite.

2:25 am

TQ

Now we have too many pets to holiday,no-one to look after them all

2:25 am

sprite

bye Liz *hugs*

2:26 am

sprite

the only downside to having many pets

2:27 am

TQ

I know but I always say I'd rather have the pets all year round than two weeks holiday

2:27 am

sprite

so would I

2:27 am

TQ

So many people think I'm mad

2:28 am

sprite

sanity is highly overrated anyway

2:29 am

TQ

One of my bunnies this morning waited for me to open the fridge and pulled a bag of kale out and started eating it

2:29 am

sprite

so smart!

2:30 am

TQ

She's very naughty she'd had her breakfast

2:30 am

sprite

guess she believes she should get a bigger breakfast :)

2:31 am

TQ

She's a big girl she stood on her back legs to have a look at what she fancied

2:31 am

sprite

I can just picture her. So cute :)

2:32 am

TQ

She's a French lop

2:33 am

sprite

googled that. They are sweet!

2:33 am

TQ

Her hubby isn't as big but is the same breed

2:35 am

TQ

She is beautiful with a dark face and longish fur

2:35 am

sprite

she sounds very pretty

2:36 am

TQ

She keeps the dog in her place

2:36 am

sprite

lol!

2:36 am

TQ

Bonnie is a bull mastiff

2:37 am

sprite

she is one tough bunny

2:38 am

TQ

No Bonnie is very gentle. She lets the chinchillas run over her when they come out

2:39 am

sprite

if she can handle a bull mastiff, she is tough in my books :)

2:40 am

TQ

Lol

2:41 am

TQ

I must change my icon Mr Soot doesn't show up very well

2:42 am

sprite

very cute little face, but not the best of pictures indeed

2:42 am

TQ

He's very dark

2:44 am

sprite

that explains his name

2:47 am

TQ

I know not very original but as all the pets are rehomed they come with names

2:48 am

sprite

I like his name, actually

2:48 am

TQ

His wife is Mrs sweep she's grey

2:48 am

sprite

awwww

2:49 am

TQ

I've just changed the pic but it hasn't changed

2:50 am

sprite

it has for me. Try control + F5 to force refresh

2:50 am

sprite

she is gorgeous

2:51 am

TQ

I'm on the kindle so I haven't got f5

2:51 am

sprite

ah, true. No idea how that should be done there.

2:51 am

TQ

That's chardonnay

2:53 am

moolingwa

well not really, but couldn't think of anything else to say with my limited spanish

10:03 am

cybernan

no thanks -- struggled to acquire enough Italian to get by on our last trip and have forgotten t already --- there is some truth to the saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

10:03 am

moolingwa

actually, mythbusters proved that to be incorrect :)

10:03 am

rururocks

that's not true.. I learn new tricks all the time :D

Hi Judi

10:06 am

Judi

God in Heaven! It's 11:00 already. Guess I must have been productive this morning.

10:06 am

rururocks

actually hoping to learn a few new tricks one of these days :D

10:07 am

moolingwa

this board is tougher than having to read moby dick while sleep deprived

10:07 am

moolingwa

either that or you slept in

10:07 am

Judi

I wish. Been at work since 8:00.

10:07 am

rururocks

I never read moby dick

10:07 am

moolingwa

sounds like more fun than any one individual should have

10:08 am

moolingwa

if you ever suffer from insomnia

10:08 am

moolingwa

read moby dick

10:09 am

moolingwa

missing an H

10:09 am

rururocks

i think the General's Daughter did that for me.. i never made it through that book either

10:09 am

moolingwa

I think I read three other books at the same time as I read Moby Dick

10:11 am

Judi

I never read Moby Dick either. Any book that long takes too long to get to the point.

10:12 am

mixi6

my sister says Moby Dick is the first book I ever read.

10:12 am

moolingwa

Oh it makes lots of points

10:13 am

moolingwa

mostly about 17th century whaling...

10:13 am

rururocks

i just couldn't be harpooned into reading it

10:13 am

rururocks

it just didn't make flense to me :D

10:14 am

Judi

Reading books that voluminous can cause humpback.

10:14 am

cybernan

ge 6, please?

10:14 am

rururocks

or a blubbering idiot i guess

10:14 am

moolingwa

orcan drive you to drink

10:14 am

Judi

Orcan cure insomnia.

10:15 am

moolingwa

anyone got the second H?

10:15 am

rururocks

I'm glad I didn't pick up that book by some strange fluke

10:17 am

moolingwa

I picked it up out of the blue, found it hard to fin-ish. It wasn't the "right" book for me and left me with "gray" hair. Beluga Minke

10:17 am

origami

ha 4/5 mool

cybernan

10:18 am

rururocks

I think it is a hard book for young men to read as they're mostly worried about other sperm whales at that time in their life

10:18 am

rururocks

i don't have any ge nan sorry

10:18 am

well.. judi.. i kept baleen him out

10:23 am

moolingwa

I am royally pleased you elected to crown me with such a kingly prize

10:23 am

moolingwa

I guess elected is a bit oxymoronic

10:24 am

rururocks

nice title to be throne at you mool

10:24 am

moolingwa

yes, I just hope I don't end up a nervous rex

10:25 am

Judi

Pray no one wants to play "Game of Thrones", Mool.

10:25 am

rururocks

it's a crowning achievement to be a pun king around here :D

10:26 am

moolingwa

Snow chance of that jude

10:28 am

cybernan

I thought game of thrones was a tv show

10:28 am

moolingwa

it is

10:29 am

cybernan

so how do you play game of thrones then?

10:29 am

moolingwa

we were punning around

10:30 am

10:33 am

rururocks

curling is just below watching paint dry on my list

10:34 am

rururocks

but 10 notches above listening to ABBA

10:34 am

cybernan

10:35 am

rururocks

i'm with you on football nan.. i'm turning off to that sport now

10:35 am

moolingwa

I used to watch football, but switched to hockey about 20 years ago :)

10:35 am

origami

One of my aging hippie dead head friends just discovered ABBA and loves them. Go figure.

10:35 am

rururocks

too much pot ori or other drugs

10:36 am

origami

Probably is the pot catching up with him Ru

10:36 am

moolingwa

or just a real fondness for palindromic band names

10:36 am

rururocks

i watch baseball and basketball.. I've backed off of football

10:37 am

rururocks

hockey is a little violent for me to be honest
