Lickety's page has a different grid. Can someone email him and ask him to correct his page. Please.
12:08 am
Lizlin
I have emailed him twice but it's school holidays here and it's possible he's gone away.
12:10 am
bfdeele
I thought maybe he is back as the date is correct to today's date. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. Thanks.
12:11 am
Lizlin
Right - I just checked. It shows the grid that has just finished. It should refresh at about 12.20 am
12:11 am
cybernan
lickety is in australia - that is why the date is out
12:12 am
Lizlin
OK - I see the confusion. Yes, it's Sunday afternoon here.
12:16 am
stidmama
Did you-all have a time change recently? Liz? Perhaps he is grabbing the grid just before it actually flips?
12:17 am
hurshy
well meanwhile ur7 if not called...
12:17 am
Lizlin
No, no time changes since March. The problem was with babble itself - twice this week it doubled the number of words which were actually in the grid.

12:33 am
rururocks
I keep pepper by the bedside now
12:33 am
anike
Yep, Sandy. About another 9 hours past Kununurra,,we drive non-stop. That's right ruru...we have no round in WA this year because motorcycles have been banned at the circuit for "safety" reasons. The people who banned it obviously haven't visited other tracks around the country.
12:33 am
hurshy
hang on honey... just one... more... sneeze...
12:34 am

Anike, we horse people hate motorbikes!! They scare the horses when we are out riding
12:35 am

Yeas, seen the film. Our drive is nothing like that. I have done a schedule to make sure we get to some of the remote fuel stations when they are open. About a 43 hour drive,
12:39 am
anike
Anyway..must finish preparing food to keep us going to Broome...we might be allowed to stop for breakfast there. See you all in 10 days. Happy babbling.
12:39 am
sandyloo
I hope you enjoy the drive but OMG it is such a long way. I would like to do it one day. and it will be warmer there for sure . Its been cold down here during the week , even the sun out to day and it is really chilly
12:40 am
anike
I know. Have done the drive about 6 times...the first time was for pleasure when the children were young and we had a stopover in Broome and did more camping etc. See ya soon

hiya matty! *hug* Rose said she was having a wonderful time with you :)
2:39 am
mattygroves
We had a lovely time! Want to see a picture?
2:39 am
sprite
oh absolutely!
2:41 am
mattygroves
https://goo.gl/KEivv9
2:42 am
mattygroves
They are an absolute blast
2:42 am
mattygroves
Though I felt awful that we live in a townhouse...
2:44 am
sprite
wow what a lovely picture of them, and how nice to see you and your beloved :D
And oh dear matty... if you'd live in a hovel, they'd wouldn't have minded. I am sure your townhouse was very much to their liking!
2:45 am
mattygroves
Just so many stairs...and narrow, curvy stairs. Not the easiest to navigate
2:46 am
sprite
ah, I see. Yeah, that might have been a bit of a challenge. But Rose can manage stairs. That is one of the great achievements she has done while recovering from the operations :)
2:48 am
sprite
if it sets your mind at easy, she never even mentioned the stairs. Just her enjoyment of meeting you, and spending time with you, and how much she and don loved your company.
2:48 am
mattygroves
Lovely - they were fantastic guests and so much fun to have around
2:49 am
mattygroves
As my daughter has moved to Melbourne, I've threatened to return the compliment in February
2:50 am
sprite
I know! Lovely sense of humour, and not at all hard to please.
2:50 am
sprite
ohhh! Oh I know Rose and Don will LOVE that!
2:51 am
mattygroves
I hope so :) They really are doing ALL of Europe and the UK. And enjoying every minute, I think!
2:52 am
sprite
oh yes. The happiness jumps out of Rose's emails. She treasures every meeting with babblers, and all the lovely sights they get to see. They are collecting memories to last a lifetime.
2:53 am
mattygroves
Apart from one person I introduced to Babble (who doesn't chog), she's the first I've met
2:56 am
sprite
am so glad you got to meet eachother. It is rather special, isn't it?
I have met several babblers over the years. Some have dropped out of babble, others are still going strong. With one exception, it has made the friendship we shared even more special.
2:57 am
mattygroves
Well, perhaps one day, as we are not a million miles from each other, we shall manage to meet up :)
2:57 am
sprite
I would love that.
2:58 am
sprite
I want to take my daughter to York for a week some day. No idea if that is anywhere near where you live?
2:59 am
mattygroves
Erm...not as such, no - York is way north. You're probably closer to London (I live right near Heathrow and Windsor) where you are now than York is ;)
2:59 am
mattygroves
York is gorgeous though. I love that city
3:00 am
sprite
*giggles* Well, Windsor is definitely another place I'd love to visit, so I will keep that in mind.
3:00 am
mattygroves
Oh do! We're only about 4 miles, maybe from Windsor. And we get free entry as we live in the borough
3:01 am
sprite
awesome. Well, it is a date. One day, we will do that.
3:02 am
mattygroves
I shall be looking at a short break for us once my shiny new British passport comes through (I take the affirmation of allegiance on Tuesday....the 4th of July. How perfect is that)
3:02 am
sprite
oh wow, that is special. There'll be fireworks for you!
3:04 am
mattygroves
Hah, yeah. The date couldn't be more perfect. And after the ceremony, we apparently get tea with the mayor. How...British. English, even
3:04 am
mattygroves
I am not doing very well on this grid, in other news
3:05 am
sprite
having tea with the mayor? Oh my!
3:05 am
mattygroves
Or possibly the deputy mayor. It could be either
3:05 am
rubyfoo
Ick, another mingy little grid!
3:05 am
sprite
I am down to 29 words and kind of hit a very hard wall
3:06 am
mattygroves
I have 40 left and nothing bigger than a 6
3:06 am
sprite
I have one 7, the ur, not a common word.
3:07 am
sprite
well, even the deputy mayor sounds special to me. Never had tea with either of them ever :)
3:07 am
mattygroves
Oh, peachy :) What's the point value, please, on that ur7? I've just been looking for U....words
3:08 am
mattygroves
I'll have a go. I really should get up soon. Jeff's with his folks in the midlands so I have to motivate myself this morning (mind you, I get up earlier than he does anyway)
3:09 am
mattygroves
found it. Not a common word at all !
3:10 am
mattygroves
I keep trying acquit. It's not in the grid. Sigh.
3:11 am
sprite
a nice chance to take it easy, grin. I am up but still in my nighties. Spent a very intensive two days, doing family constellations as a an assistant, then yesterday evening performing (singing a song on stage just for other students and their fans) and then on to the combined birthday party of my 'daughter-in-law' and my son.
3:11 am
sprite
I tried that a lot of times too. Still refuses to take.
3:11 am
mattygroves
Oh, very nice!
3:12 am
mattygroves
I have my coffee - I just need to decide whether to have the second cup before or after I shower
3:13 am
sprite
hehehe, I hear ya! I am longing for a cuppa, but hoping my beloved will get up soon and make one for me. Too lazy (well, and too sore) to go downstairs yet.
3:13 am
mattygroves
I have to go down two flights (we live in Isengard - tall and thin) to get the coffee - it's already made but it's just the question of whether to do so clean or dirty
3:14 am
sprite
Isengard? :D Oh I love it. Smack in the middle of LOTR.
3:15 am
mattygroves
Oh yeah. Try asking Siri (if you have an Apple phone) how to get to Mordor...
3:15 am
sprite
don't have an apple phone :(
3:15 am
mattygroves
Ah. It's kinda funny :) I don't know if the Google assistant will do anything similar
3:16 am
mattygroves
Do you have stats for the corner I (eye) or the top C?
3:17 am
sprite
il 4/4 and 5/12
3:17 am

Thank you! That eye is smashed

3:21 am

I'd swear I've monkied every possible ce combo and it's just not coming...am I missing something obvious? (Well, of course I am. It's just not yet obvious to me)
3:22 am
mattygroves
I found your aq 7/8 combo too! Yeah
3:22 am
sprite
not a common word, though often in babble. Two syllables, each starting with the same letter.
3:23 am

yummmm garlic mayonaise found
3:27 am

Ah, that word. Let's see if I can remember how to spell it (so many vowels)
3:28 am
mattygroves
Hah - first go. Thanks for the nudge :)
3:28 am
sprite
yvw. Always a tough one to spot for me. A vowelly vowel word...
3:29 am
mattygroves
Yeah - I always find vowel words difficult. Especially the vowelly vowel words...
3:30 am
sprite
me too. The 'asea' word still does me in every time
3:30 am
mattygroves
I miss that so often. Sometimes also miss atop or abed
3:30 am
