May I please

3:45 am

gapeach

have a clue for te8-40 the 2nd? Thanks

3:49 am

zoozzoom

TE + 4th vowel + three letter word for going to the confession box + consonant + first two letters after nine.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

Good morning

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

3:50 am

rubyfoo

Our weather has been incredibly beautiul for several days -- sunny, breezy, only hot in the sun

3:50 am

rubyfoo

Is your weather good ((zzoozz))?

3:50 am

zoozzoom

It has been rather pleasant here too, Ruby. Loving it!

3:51 am

zoozzoom

And I have been watching all of the Tour albeit recording it then watching it later in the day.

3:52 am

zoozzoom

Gapeach I will redo the clue.

3:52 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, zooz. I don't know the 3 words for the confession box......

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Hi peach. There was an extra cons in the clue

3:52 am

zoozzoom

TE + 4th vowel + three letter word for going to the confession box + first two letters after nine.

3:53 am

zoozzoom

When you done something naughty you go to the church into a box and confess your ***s

3:54 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, zooz and ruby.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

(peach doesn't do naughty stuff! lol)

3:55 am

zoozzoom

There was a lot of booing for Froome on yesterday's stage. Not a fan of the booing.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

LOL

3:56 am

rubyfoo

I missed that, zzoozz. Why were they booing him?

3:56 am

gapeach

Well, not anymore, ruby. LOL.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I'mnot enjoying the Tour this year because my two "horses" (Valverde and Porte) both crashed out

3:58 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is a shame. Both great riders!

3:59 am

rubyfoo

And I thught the disqualification of Sagan was excessive punishment

3:59 am

gapeach

Dear ones, I wanted to stay up longer tonight, but if I don't go to sleep I'm about to fall out of my chair. Blessings

3:59 am

rubyfoo

Good night, peach

4:00 am

zoozzoom

I feel the reason they are booing is the sky rider, Mikel Landa, is riding really well and is leaving sky at the end of the season and people are saying he is being held back to help, Froome win the tour when he could win it himself.

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Peach. Sweet sleep.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

That explains it

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Yes I think it does. But I still do not believe in the booing.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

Did you see the motocycle guy Knock over a fan who was waving a flag?

4:03 am

zoozzoom

No I missed that. they did not show that on Eurosport channel. I take it you are watching it on FranceTV?

4:03 am

rubyfoo

Yes, whenever I can stay awake long enough LOL

4:04 am

rubyfoo

Sandy saw someone sitting in a tree waving a flag. I missed that

4:05 am

zoozzoom

I liked to record it. That way when I watch it I can fast forward all the adverts. Over a five hour stage I can cut out at least an hour & half of time!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I'm not that sophisticate with machines

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes I swa that It was a skinny tree with just a little top cover and he was right at the very top with a french flag. How he got up there without snapping the littl tree was a miracle!

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Saw*

4:10 am

zoozzoom

There was one part a couple of stages when the commentator was discussing the race when one of the riders just flopped his bits out and proceeded to urinate right in front of the camerea to the side of the road whilst still riding. I was amazed the cameraman did not pan away from it. Was not happy seeing that..Yuck!

4:11 am

rubyfoo

That's funny!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

Usually they're more discreet!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

What I really hate is the fans touching and interfering with the riders at the tops of the ascents

4:14 am

rubyfoo

One year Contador punched one of them

4:15 am

zoozzoom

Oh I agree. I also do not understand why they wait there for hours on end. And when the riders go past they are looking at their phones to record it and not watching the riders themselves!

4:15 am

rubyfoo

Exactly

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I've had friends who take their camping cars up to the top and wait a whole day. Ridiculous

4:16 am

zoozzoom

I also saw on yesterday's stage people actually turning away from the riders to wave to the helicopter flying above their heads. I was amazed!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I saw one guy "moon" at the camera

4:17 am

rubyfoo

Have there been any "nakes" this year?

4:17 am

rubyfoo

They want their one moment of fame!!!

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Oh I would not mind making a day of it with food drink and the company of other cycling fans. But I would make sure I watched the riders go past and shout out some encouragment to them. And bravo of course!

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Oh I saw a couple of monners on the stage yesterday too.

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Mooners.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

The one time I watched Lance ride by, I was dumbstruck and couldn't even shout "Allez"

4:19 am

zoozzoom

LOL Bless you.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

He was my idol, now Fallen, of course

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is a shame he decided to go down that path.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Eurosport have been showing some amazing chateaus with the helicopter.!

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Have you had enough of eating the figs yet, Ruby? lol

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I eat 4 every day and share the rest

4:25 am

rubyfoo

This is the most I've ever had

4:26 am

rubyfoo

They get really ripe, unlike any you can ever find in a market

4:26 am

zoozzoom

I bet they taste wonderful!

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Not too keen on figs myself.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

Yes, reallly sweet.

4:28 am

zoozzoom

I much prefer victoria plums!

4:28 am

rubyfoo

On the other hand, my tomatoes, 4 different types, now ripe, are mushy and tasteless

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Oh that is a shame.

4:30 am

zoozzoom

I just read up about that and that can be a result of over watering.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

Maybe I was too attentive but they collapse in the heat every afternoon

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Probably just too much heat in the sunshine then. I suppose they also need shading in the intense heat.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I'm notmuch of a farmer!

4:34 am

zoozzoom

No I am not either.

4:38 am

zoozzoom

I have been putting the couple of houseplants I have outside into the back garden whilst we are having this lovely weather. I hope they appreciate it!

4:38 am

rubyfoo

I was ambitious in the beginning but no longer feel like it, especially since I hardly cook

4:40 am

zoozzoom

I can understand that. I am kind of the same way in thinking. I just feel it is a lot of effort just for one person. Easier to just buy it in the shop.

4:40 am

rubyfoo

I was invited out yesterday and brought a huge sangria with me -- did my trick of macerating the fruit in brandy with sugar first.

4:40 am

rubyfoo

They were knocked out!

4:41 am

zoozzoom

I bet! You will be invited again soon then lol

4:41 am

rubyfoo

That way you can add ice cubes without it becoming insipid

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Good thinking!

4:42 am

zoozzoom

ethane

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Damn..Sorry everyone.

4:43 am

rubyfoo

May I have stats, pls, for the 9's and the 10? I don't know where to look

4:44 am

zoozzoom

I have a TA 9/54

4:45 am

zoozzoom

But no 10 or any other 9s yet.

Thank you, Molly & Sandy. Hello to you both :-)

4:47 am

rubyfoo

Hello, you two.

4:48 am

sandyloo

hi all , ruby, zoos molly - have been reading your chat about the tour and yes last night I saw a rudy nudy

4:48 am

MollyL

There you go, you got the 8's too without even asking for them : D

4:48 am

zoozzoom

rudy nudy lol

4:48 am

sandyloo

Last nite was a good stage to watch very exciting

4:49 am

sandyloo

now I have grandchildren I speak a different language

4:49 am

rubyfoo

I got nothing; my head is elsewhere!

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Yes froome got a puncture and all hell let loose!

4:49 am

sandyloo

se 10/70 (write these down Ruby)

4:50 am

zoozzoom

TA 9/54 open pie + interest ****** can go up or down.

4:51 am

sandyloo

I was hoping he would get another puncture (I dont dislike him I just think he has had his turn)

4:52 am

sandyloo

se9/54

4:52 am

MollyL

Thanks Sandy, I posted the nines and tens

4:53 am

sandyloo

ok

4:54 am

rubyfoo

The only one I found was zooz's 9

4:54 am

rubyfoo

I need a nap

4:54 am

sandyloo

me too I haven't felt well today from eating rubbish all weekend (children's party food

4:55 am

zoozzoom

Oh no I disagree a rider who can win the tour would not think i am being greedy here I will let someone else win it .They have trained for so long and given up a lot of family time to get where they are today. So if they can win it then they deserve it.

4:55 am

MollyL

ta8...the way men score saucy women
: D

4:55 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear, Sandy, too much sugary food lol

4:56 am

sandyloo

good clue molly

4:56 am

zoozzoom

LOL I have more respect for women, Molly. But a good clue nonetheless!

4:56 am

MollyL

I agree with Zoom. No one who trains for that kind of competition decides to let someone else win because they have already had their turn.

4:56 am

sandyloo

and zoos no I dont have a sweet tooth but I ate a lot of those little red sausages

4:58 am

zoozzoom

Saveloy sausages.

4:58 am

sandyloo

I think they are made of the scraps off the floor

4:59 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:59 am

rubyfoo

lunch arrives.....

4:59 am

zoozzoom

And yet you ate them, Sandy!

4:59 am

zoozzoom

Oh good luck, Ruby! Hope it is something you can eat!

4:59 am

sandyloo

LOL

4:59 am

sandyloo

I'm sure it wont be little red sausages

5:04 am

zoozzoom

Time for me to get going. Happy babbling everyone! And thanks for the chat!

5:05 am

sandyloo

bye zooz

Lizlin

Hi and thanks - no real time to chat - early start tomorrow so rushing to finish this. Will email tomorrow or next day to answer yours. Hugs.

7:15 am

sprite

*hugs right back at ya* have a lovely day tomorrow. No hurry about the email, it will keep :) Gonna try again later today

7:15 am

jwr

hi, all. Just popped in with a WARNING: The last time I was in the PB, I was really hungry and ready for a treat; finally saw this dusty little bottle way off in the corner with a faded label on it that said; "drink me" so I did and th. . . .

7:16 am

Lizlin

Perhaps add a bit less water! Add it gradually. We sometimes don't use the full amount.

7:16 am

sprite

oh dear, jwr... and that was two weeks ago and only now did you wake up again?

7:16 am

jwr

. . . mmmm

7:16 am

sprite

might be it, Liz. Or maybe the floor is not of good enough quality.

7:17 am

Lizlin

Possibly - we use bread flour.

7:17 am

sprite

or, also quite possible, I stink at kneading and need lots of practise

7:17 am

Lizlin

But also like I said, we reshape the loaf after 2nd proving just before it goes it the oven.

7:18 am

sprite

*giggles at jwr* You look radiant though... the rest becomes you

7:18 am

Lizlin

I doubt that!

7:19 am

sprite

ah, that is different then. The recipe says to shape before second proving. I will try that!

7:19 am

Lizlin

We do shape it then but tighten up the shape before it goes into the oven.

7:19 am

sprite

ah, I see. Am gonna give that a try. I used a baking tin. Do you use a plate?

7:20 am

Lizlin

We use a flat baking sheet.

7:21 am

sprite

I thought so. Kind of baking bread for experienced users, grin. I'll work on it until I get it right in the tin, then go on to try freeform bread.

7:21 am

Lizlin

We went straight to free form.

7:22 am

Lizlin

The video showed it pretty clearly.

7:22 am

sprite

you are talented, though, and experienced in the kitchen. I am a sad beginner with no real talent.

7:23 am

Lizlin

Not really - don't underestimate yourself.

7:23 am

sprite

yes, the vid is perfect. It is me that is not succeeding, lol. When I reach the point where Paul's loaf is cut in and stays beautifully full, mine goes pooffffff and inflates.

7:23 am

sprite

deflates*

7:25 am

Lizlin

Ours also did that for quite a while. perhaps try proving it a bit longer or as we said, just tuck the sides in again and try to puff it up a bit like that. It should still cook OK.

7:26 am

sprite

at least yesterday's was edible. That is progress ;)
Thanks for helping me, I really appreciate it

7:27 am

Lizlin

A pleasure. I'm sure you'll get there. Like I said, we still get it wrong sometimes and we certainly had to work on it quite a bit at the beginning.

7:27 am

sprite

oh I won't give up. It is a wonderful feeling, baking your own bread. Am enjoying it and I know I will get there eventually.

7:28 am

Lizlin

It's also really good to know exactly what's in the bread.

7:29 am

sprite

oh yes! I have been looking at quality floor online, but most have chemicals added and I don't want that. If you bake your own, it would be silly to add chemicals you don't need, right?

7:29 am

Lizlin

15 to go - all t's.

7:29 am

sprite

ouch

7:30 am

Lizlin

Definitely agree with that.

sorry guys

7:31 am

7:32 am

Hm! That plural wouldn't take before :(

7:32 am

:(

7:37 am

sprite

27 Ts left, lol

7:39 am

Lizlin

Enjoy! Just finished with a lot of help from more words in the end. Final word to 8/55. Have a lovely day and good luck if you have another go at the bread. Hugs.

7:39 am

sprite

wtg Liz! *hugs* and have a good day and night

7:50 am

Alleyn58

Simply can't see the se10 - big hint please

7:50 am

hi Alleyn, se10: having to do with a series of words, from capital letter till full stop.

7:51 am

Alleyn58

Tried sentence - no joy

7:52 am

close though. Drop last two, replace with deferen****

7:54 am

Phew - Thank you Sprite

fireflies. Have a lovely day, Alleyn, and a peaceful night. Bye all!

9:08 am

MollyL

Using bread flour, not regular flour is essential when making bread. You need the higher gluten content of bread flour to get your bread to rise.

good morning all. Interesting reading re the bread making. I made all our bread and rolls for years -- 5 loaves every 2nd day when I had 3 teens in the house!

9:42 am

rururocks

no way I could do that nan.. I tend to loaf around in the mornings

9:43 am

cybernan

you knead to get into a routine, then it's easy

9:44 am

rururocks

LOL.. there's a crusty comment

9:44 am

rururocks

homemade bread is better than store bought no matter how one slices it

9:45 am

cybernan

I think so - if only because you know what went into it --- hopefully something other than flour and water!

9:48 am

rururocks

I was never very successful at bread making, but my roommate used to make homemade bread that was really good

9:49 am

rururocks

I used mine to replace bricks in the fireplace

9:49 am

bojazz

good stand-up material, ru...

9:49 am

rururocks

:D

10:02 am

rururocks

how did the showing go nan?

10:06 am

cybernan

good apparently -- have another one coming back for a 2nd look this morning

10:06 am

rururocks

great.. that's good there's a lot of interest

10:07 am

rururocks

I hate being in limbo.. wanting the new place and still trying to sell the old one

10:07 am

cybernan

well some, at any rate. It would be really nice to get it sold so that we know if we can afford some of the extras we would like on the renos

10:08 am

cybernan

that's it in a nutshell, ru

10:09 am

rururocks

we never thought our house would sell in the bay area allowing us to move to the country

10:10 am

rururocks

now that tiny little house in Palo Alto is worth 1.8 million

10:11 am

rururocks

we should have kept it and rented it

10:11 am

cybernan

problem with renting is that renters won't look after it and the depreciation is greater

10:11 am

rururocks

that' true.. plus the hassle

10:12 am

cybernan

I hate to think what this place would look like if any of my children had it for a year ---- they never seemed to learn to look after their things and their kids are even worse

10:13 am

cybernan

they all seem to have a 'throw it out and buy new rather than clean and care for mentality

10:13 am

rururocks

our one foray into renting our cabin turned out badly

10:14 am

cybernan

sorry to hear that - do you still have the cabin?

10:15 am

rururocks

no.. we sold the property in the divorce.. some rich guy from Tennessee owns it now

10:15 am

cybernan

oh well -- as long as you got some of his riches :D

10:16 am

rururocks

well.. sorta.. it's in the bank and I have a new audi :D

10:17 am

rururocks

he got it for a better price because he paid cash for it

10:18 am

cybernan

won't do any good in the bank --- you need to invest it and put it to work for you

10:18 am

rururocks

it was a beautiful place...but with the divorce a burden for both of us.. we were happy to sell it

10:23 am

cybernan

need to take a break and transfer some photos and data to my portable hard drive --- getting a little nervous with all the forest fires around here! Later.

10:23 am

rururocks

man.. those N's are nothing to sneeze at

10:24 am

cybernan

lol

10:25 am

rururocks

I have 40 to go and still haven't found a 9 or the 10

10:39 am

rururocks

YAY found a freakin' 9

10:40 am

rururocks

it also takes a lot of balls to get that ca 8

10:41 am

Aloyisius

lol ru, great clue

10:42 am

Aloyisius

starting late today

10:42 am

rururocks

I was going to say testicular fortitude but passed on that pun

10:43 am

Aloyisius

would be lost anyway after ..

10:45 am

rururocks

someone said go-nads and then someone took it seriously

10:45 am

moolingwa

sounds like bollocks to me

10:46 am

EvaNadine

eh, they were just junk anyway.

10:52 am

rururocks

wow.. I found the se9...and I haven't seen it before

10:54 am

Aloyisius

wtg ru

10:54 am

rururocks

lol.. I was trying to spell something else

10:55 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, guess "sinneth" is too biblical

10:56 am

rururocks

I have sinnethed much in my life

10:57 am

Aloyisius

you are absolved in BabbleLand

10:58 am

Aloyisius

tenement is my phantom for today

10:58 am

rururocks

great.. the last time I kneeled for a priest it didn't work out that well :D

10:58 am

EvaNadine

10:59 am

awww .. adorable!

11:00 am

rururocks

very cute eva

11:00 am

rururocks

hope he's feeling better too now

11:02 am

EvaNadine

i think hes cutting more teeth, so the last few days, he has been a cranky-pants, nap-resister, but yes, other than that, he is feeling MUCH better!

caught a teeny cold when we traveled to Michigan last weekend, but pulmonologist said that once that's cleared, we are free to pull him off his inhaler!

Just saw the news about the fires in Kamloops area. yikes!

11:19 pm

cybernan

there are fires all over BC --- we lost 8 homes about 15 miles north of here yesterday. over 40,000 people have been evacuated from their homes now.

11:20 pm

harpjane

It looked horrible. Take care. We lost 16 homes in 20 minutes last year. Unattended campfire.....

11:21 pm

harpjane

Evacuating 40,000 would clean out three counties down here!

11:21 pm

yes it was an improperly extinguished campfire that started the one near here --- despite there being a campfire ban in place

11:26 pm

cybernan

we are in no danger currently -- it's just that everything is so terribly dry despite all the flooding and rain we had this spring

11:26 pm

harpjane

We had a long long winter but it's gotten hot and dry very quickly

11:26 pm
