Sleep well, Une

1:19 am

sprite

good morning all. Wow, a biggie

1:20 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs Sprite - happy to see you though I'm just about to leave here! Getting fed up with loads of red boxes

1:21 am

Lizlin

How have you been? Have you had any more goes at bread making?

1:21 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* I can play for a little while, have to leave in 45 minutes for a meeting. Red boxes are nasty :(

1:22 am

sprite

yes I have! Progress was made... my last loaf tasted pretty okay. I think I need to leave it in the oven for a little longer though, it was still a bit doughy.

1:22 am

Lizlin

At least I've got down to 98 - so not too many to finish later.

1:22 am

sprite

ah, nice going, Liz. How have you and your beloved been?

1:23 am

Lizlin

Experts say bread is ready when you tap it underne5 and it sounds hollow

1:23 am

Lizlin

Experts say bread is ready when you tap it underne5 and it sounds hollow

1:23 am

Lizlin

We're fine. The weather is beginning to warm up at night. The days have been lovely.

1:23 am

sprite

yeah. But you have to pull it out of the tin to check that, and I am not sure you can put it back in after that.

1:23 am

Lizlin

Sorry about double entry :(

1:24 am

sprite

good to hear you are both fine :)

1:24 am

Lizlin

I think you can, if you use baking parchment or oil the tin first.

1:25 am

sprite

ah, okay. Will try that next time. It is a project that takes time, lol. Will get it right in the end, I hope.

1:26 am

Lizlin

I'm sure you will. We've got to make 15 rye loaves for an event in just under 2 weeks. No problem except the dough needs to prove overnight so it takes quite a bit of time.

1:27 am

sprite

wow! Quite a project! I'll be happy when I manage to make one good loaf.

1:28 am

Lizlin

I also want to experiment with the rye bread, to see if I can blitz the caraway seeds to powder, for a friend who has a gastro problem with seeds.

1:29 am

sprite

let me know how that goes! I am experimenting with different kinds of bread in the bread machine, for my love who cannot eat any dark bread without triggering a gout attack.

1:29 am

Lizlin

Meant to ask - did you ever read the Daniel Silva books? Hubby's about to get a new one for me and if you enjoyed them, I'll get it to you.

1:29 am

Lizlin

My rye isn't dark. it's a traditional Jewish rye.

1:30 am

sprite

not sure if I started them yet. Would love to get it though, there is no such thing as enough books to read :)

1:32 am

Lizlin

OK, when I have it, I'll get it to you. I'm on Book 3, The Confessor, and really enjoying them.

1:33 am

sprite

no, haven't started that series yet. I meant to ask you, are they as political as the excerpt suggests?

1:38 am

Lizlin

Not in the purest sense of the wo4 but I guess it depends what you mean by political. I guess they do touch on a political situation but not in a direct way. More of a spy story. They're all quite different so far.

1:40 am

Lizlin

Good to see you. Time for me to go. Hugs to you.

1:40 am

sprite

will certainly give them a go then.

1:41 am

sprite

babble is definitely being temperamental. Bye Liz, *hugs* and love to you both

1:43 am

flosey

Hi Sprite, left for a few minutes, reading back, see I'm not the only one getting red boxes so often!!

1:44 am

sprite

hi flosey, *hugs*. No, I have noticed that is often the case when the grid is big. Maybe the website has trouble generating the long wordlists.

1:45 am

flosey

ah, that could be, was getting a bit frustrated so left to get ready for bed

1:46 am

flosey

not leaving yet though

1:46 am

sprite

yeah it is unpleasant. Disturbes our rhythm :)

1:47 am

flosey

indeed it does that!!

1:48 am

sprite

did you have a nice day today?

1:53 am

flosey

another quiet day Sprite, need a few of these. I do go for a walk every day - not far but need the exercise. One day I'll think to check the distance I've walked - hahaha for bragging rights

1:54 am

sprite

:D please do! And brag about it here. My grandparents walked every day and it kept them fit till really high age.

1:59 am

flosey

I am there already, Sprite!! Have outlived my Dad (lost him too early - he was only 66, collapsed over his desk at work, on the phone, we had tried to get him to retire but he just couldn't! do have another 9 years to go to outlive my Mother

2:00 am

sprite

at any age, walking is the best excercise there is, I think. But you are not old yet!

2:05 am

sprite

time for me to go. Sleep well, flosey, and have a lovely day tomorrow.
Rose, *hugs* to you both!

2:07 am

flosey

Have a great day Sprite

2:23 am

rubyfoo

Good morning! Yay, a day-appropriate big grid!

2:23 am

flosey

good morning Ruby

2:24 am

rubyfoo

Good morning Flosey. I am shaken by the US news and the tepid and wrong response of Trump!

2:24 am

rubyfoo

phat

2:24 am

rubyfoo

phats

2:24 am

rubyfoo

sorry

2:25 am

flosey

but thanks ruby, didn't have that one yet

2:25 am

rubyfoo

I'll keepm quiet

2:28 am

rubyfoo

I'm politicized this morning, went to sleep angry

2:30 am

flosey

oh, not a good mood to sleep on Ruby!! Hope you're feeling happier today

2:31 am

rubyfoo

I'm hoping he'll make a retraction or apology. All sides, indeed!

2:38 am

flosey

I have not yet seen much to admire in that man

2:39 am

rubyfoo

But there is no excuse for him not to take sides. It's bizarre that he's gotten this far!

2:39 am

flosey

agree!

2:39 am

rbud

you put that so gently... I see nothing to admire, myself. And I'm tired of waking up every day to some new chaos.

2:40 am

rubyfoo

I love that David Duke (KKK) came out in support! It certainly makes things even clearer

2:43 am

rubyfoo

Trump's ignorance and cowardice is epic!

2:44 am

rubyfoo

aero

2:44 am

rubyfoo

I've stepped off my soapbox, sorry for the gaffes

2:47 am

rbud

oh, I personally could fuss for quite a while, but am being restrained in an effort to avoid discord in the chog. I do, however, agree with all you've said. :)

2:48 am

rubyfoo

I don't care if this stirs up discord. Anybody on the wrong side of this should just stay away

3:01 am

rbud

I was mostly just disgusted and embarrassed by him, but now he's endangering the whole world, which is a whole different level.

3:03 am

rubyfoo

One doesn't even have to be a liberal to abhor Trump's unwillingness to offend his base

3:08 am

rubyfoo

I'm embarrassed in front of my French friends

3:12 am

rbud

Yes, he's an embarrassment, but I refuse to take any blame for his being there.

3:24 am

flosey

Must say goodnight ladies - I am in total agreement with you - will never understand how that man won the majority!! I personally believe that Hilary could have handled things with much more wisdom and dignity

3:25 am

flosey

and off to bed, not even half way with this puzzle, perhaps will do better tomorrow

3:31 am

rbud

goodnight! :)

Hi Babblers. Almost 9.00 pm Sunday night here. Just deposited my weekend house-guests back to their parents. A 15 yr old neice & 11 & 13 yr old nephews. Crikey! I had forgotten just how much hard work early teenagers are. I'm exhausted.

2:51 pm

Well done, Pen. I don't have a hope of finishing... But I'm enjoying the 'quiet-time'. :-)

Indeed SMom. The older you get, the less tolerance you have for bullshit.

3:00 pm

sammysmom

yup.... my kids and grands and g grs know i hate texting and will not be bothered with it.. s hearing the texting no longer bothers me like it used to... i just smile an lose myself in my cmputer games or the garden or a puzzle or a book or crocheting and let them have at it

3:00 pm

Soodle

Lol. When I have 'grown-up' house guests (& I use the term lightly), my policy is to fill 'em with booze & they won't notice the inadequacies Chez Soodle. These kids's Mom is a doctor, so they seldom see sugar or anything unhealthy. I dazzled them with soda, chocolate & ice-cream over the last 36 hours!

3:01 pm

Soodle

The poor craythurs will probably be in detox for the next week!!!

3:02 pm

sammysmom

wtg soodle... i keep lots of crap on hand for just that purpose and booze for the parents.. sets me free of worry and makes me a great hostess heh heh

3:03 pm

Soodle

Sugar n Booze, Sammysmom! An unbeatable combination! :-)

3:04 pm

sammysmom

yup yup.. and to think i used to be such a puritan... what a waste........

3:05 pm

MollyL

Being a Puritan is a huge waste. Especially when it comes to judging others. We all have our faults.

3:05 pm

Soodle

I find myself subscribing to the YOLO theory, the older I get.

3:06 pm

sammysmom

yup

3:11 pm

Can I get a clue for the first ph7,36 please?

3:12 pm

Soodle

In my defence, though, I took the youngsters to very cultural places. We visited Newgrange (older than the Egyptian pyramids), Trim Castle, (5 minutes from my house, but interesting), and many ponts in between.

Actually, for such a large grid, it did not have too many of the dregs of Enable.

4:07 pm

samnz

So I found out that Babble doesn't encrypt our passwords before saving them in the database

4:07 pm

samnz

Isn't that considered bad practise

4:08 pm

samnz

Means they pretty much have a list of passwords that they could browse through if they liked too

4:09 pm

Also, how can there be a word starting with z, there's no vowel next to it haha d >.< b

I was in Ocean City,NJ for part of today and saw people parasailing. I was thinking of trying it. but it cost $80 for 10-12 up in the air and the boat ride from the start off point is an hour long and is bumpy. That would make me seasick. and $80 is too much

I just now sat down to enjoy the grid; but (for once!) I saw the size of the grid before starting. How hard is this grid?

8:09 pm

penquis

it's not as bad as it looks...

8:10 pm

penquis

i did list a little earlier than usual because i was afraid i would run out of time...

8:10 pm

penquis

i finished earlier...

8:11 pm

Nef

Seriously pen? Or do you just need someone to suffer through a few hours with you? ;-)

8:12 pm

Nef

Only 1 E on the board....

8:12 pm

penquis

yes, i remarked about that when i started, too...

8:13 pm

penquis

no, i am really in and out here....doing crosswords at the NYT website...

8:14 pm

8:44 pm

Nef

I did get them, pen; thank you very much

8:45 pm

8:54 pm

Nef

8:54 pm

Nef

(maybe it won't be so bad, after all)

8:55 pm

penquis

yes, not many re words....

9:10 pm

Nef

150 words found; I need a short break (my grandson has his friend sleeping over; it's getting rowdy & I need to go act a little cranky with him. It always quiets him down.

9:13 pm

penquis

cool...

9:24 pm

Nef

Okay. I really hate to pick on the kids; but I got stung on Friday (probably by a paper wasp) & I'm allergic to bee stings. My arm is still swollen, red & very sore; I think it's not just the sting but has now turned into a cellulitis. So I AM cranky -- with my son. HE said the sleepover was okay without checking with me; & he thought he was going to go watch some show with his buddies & I'd watch the boys! (I told him NO WAY tonight & made him stay home & watch the kids!)

9:24 pm

penquis

good for you!

9:25 pm
