hi RB.. how are you doing?
12:27 am
rbud
slogging along. trying not to become even more of a hermit than I already was, hahaha.
12:27 am
rururocks
that's good.. just keep moving forward
12:35 am
rbud
hard to concentrate on anything much - except sewing. hadn't done much of it in recent years, but now it seems sort of therapeutic.
12:35 am
rururocks
yes.. that sounds therapeutic
12:37 am
rbud
I have half a dozen sewing machines, some of which I hadn't seen in at least a decade. Excavated them and found out which could do what better, and found the old ones are the best. Not surprised. My newest one sits mostly unused now, haha.
12:38 am
rururocks
indestructible probably those old ones
12:38 am
rbud
Yup! I sew a lot with denim and leather, the new one can't handle it at all.
12:40 am
rbud
Used to work in a Florsheim shoe factory. Wingtips! :P
12:40 am
rururocks
oh wow
12:41 am
rbud
Provided lots of lovely leather scraps I took home, too. :)
12:43 am
rururocks
my dad used to wear wing tips all the time
12:45 am
rbud
practically required for office wear, I guess.
12:45 am
rururocks
yeah.. I never liked them much myself.. I have big feet like him and have to buy English shoes
12:47 am

12:48 am

12:49 am
rbud
there are many!
12:53 am
rbud
sooo - big feet? The English make bigger shoes?
12:53 am
rururocks
wider shoes (Churches English shoes)
12:55 am
rbud
ah! Hubs has a nephew who wears size 15 quadruple E shoes, according to his mom - always meant to ask where he gets them. Guessing they're not widely available.
12:58 am
rururocks
my nephews (the oldest ones wear 18 and 17 respectively
1:00 am
rururocks
they are big kids
1:00 am
rururocks
I wear size 12
1:01 am
rbud
relatively dainty hooves, then - compared to the kids.
1:02 am
rururocks
exactly
1:02 am
rururocks
they're much taller than me too
1:07 am
rbud
Hubs had a size 11 left foot and more of a size 12 right foot - was always kind of hard to find a good compromise.
1:07 am
rururocks
thankfully mine are the same
1:08 am
rururocks
well.. very nice to see you again RB.. i'm glad things are settling down for you some. take care
1:09 am

likewise, and you take care, too. :)

1:51 am

we had our community lunch today with an italian theme. kerry made chocolate-chip biscotten for morning tea. i made minestrone soup, Ingo made garlic and herb brfead, and for afters, Kerry made a strawberry tiramasu.
1:51 am
sprite
oh sounds so yummy!
1:51 am
grannyrose
infusion was good. this time i had lignocaine in with the ketamine. and i feel grand.
1:52 am
sprite
what does that ligno stuff do?
1:53 am
grannyrose
it's a local anaesthetic, but given in small doses, and IV it calms the nerve endings.
1:53 am
sprite
oh nice! I am so happy for you. Glad you are feeling grand :)

can't imagine having a child of 4 yo and not having taught him to feed himself. I think our kids were trying to do that before they were a year.
2:16 am
grannyrose
ditto here. there used to be food everywhere, in the hair, on the face, in the hands, down the inside of the shirt, and the kids were just as bad.
2:17 am

lol yeah, all part of the learning curve. And so incredibly cute, the way they try to find their mouths with that spoon.
