*hugs rose* Hmmmm you smell clean :D
Slowcooker is awesome. So easy. Will be using it a lot!
How are you faring in Antwerpen?
1:53 am
grannyrose
doing okay surprisingly. today we go to Brugges. yesterday went to Beveren where a very nice young man gave me quite a few tips on how to further my research. he seemed to be impressed that my ancestors were of Dutch nobility.
1:54 am

1:59 am

was Rob impressed with the food from the slow cooker?
2:01 am
sprite
the recipe wasn't the best, to be honest. But we are both impressed by the easy cooking and the way the meat turns out.
2:01 am
grannyrose
i told you. it is so tender isn't it?
2:02 am
sprite
absolutely. Told Rob to get the cheepest beef and it tasted like top quality.
2:03 am
grannyrose
gosh i miss you so much already. looking forward to france very much.
2:04 am
sprite
same here. Just sharing the day-to-day stuff was sooooo good. Like we grew up together, hun.
2:05 am
grannyrose
absolutely. oh.... mwah.... we never made the cheese cake
2:06 am
sprite
no, we were too pooped at the end of the day, and we didn't get that lazy day where I would cook the curries and we would do the cheese cake. We'll put it on the bucket list for next time ;)
2:07 am
grannyrose
okay..... new bucket list started.
2:08 am
sprite
literally. I just opened the booklet I used to keep track of all our plans, and wrote "For next time: Giethoorn and Liz's cheesecake"
2:08 am

2:11 am
sprite
oh, Middelburg! You'll want to see where Caya lives and studies.
And Rob had a good suggestion. He said, next time, let's plan stuff for one day, then keep the next one empty for relaxation, etc.
2:13 am
sprite
also, I think next time we will rent a wheelchair. Easy to have on hand when needed, and if not needed, we will leave it in the car.

I have no problem with listing....how about I list and you can ask for st4s or clues as needed?
9:05 am
car.eeyore
I have the 8!
9:06 am
Dorens
nice offer car, but without a list i have no idea what i'm looking for
9:06 am
Dorens
somehow i have the 8 and 7's also. unusual for me
9:06 am
car.eeyore
well done!
9:06 am
72 Temple Owl
are they obscure?
9:07 am
Dorens
ok. i have a pe6 and pe6. any idea what i need?

9:08 am
Dorens
yay, i found one of my 5's

9:08 am
72 Temple Owl
lately i have little time or patience so just list and go. not very enjouable
9:08 am
Dorens
that should do it when you consider the point count
9:09 am
Dorens
if you're not enjoying it, why do it at all?
9:09 am
car.eeyore
the 7 is ET 7/32
9:09 am
72 Temple Owl
good point. perhaps now is the day to quit and do other things
9:09 am
Dorens
I was at my 50th high school reunion last weekend and found that we all agree that at this point in life, if we can't enjoy something, we try to avoid it. Figure out how to enjoy what we're doing or not do it. (when possible)
9:10 am
hego
I agree Doren
9:11 am
72 Temple Owl
i suppose it's ma slippery slope; the chat being the first to go.
9:11 am
Dorens
i still find this a good day to wake up in the morning and get my head clear. and if i have time in the evening to finish, I do. But I really don't want to do it when it seems like a chore. And I remember times in the past when that was the case, and i stayed up till 1 am on nights when i had to get up by 7 to get to school. that was crazy
9:12 am
Dorens
ah, the chat goes a lot for me. Not my favorite thing to do, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying this morning.
9:12 am
72 Temple Owl
so you play and do not finish?
9:12 am
car.eeyore
I play all the time and not finish
9:13 am
Dorens
sometimes. recently I've been finishing... finding more time for it. but when things get really busy, I let it go. In fact I just got back to 1030 this week. have no idea how long it will last
9:13 am
hego
I have been doing that also. Just play until I don't feel like it anymore.
9:13 am
car.eeyore
I agree with you Dorens...gets my head going
9:13 am
72 Temple Owl
i keep seeing adept
9:13 am
Dorens
i used to HAVE to finish. really ob/comp behavior. It's liberating to let that go.
I did too owl!
9:13 am
Dorens
so no one can tell me which p i am missing?
9:14 am

Maybe we're outgrowing our OCD. :)
