3:29 am

rubyfoo

Yay, a big grid for a paperless Saturday.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

My Times subscription stealthfully expired and I'll be paperless for about a weei.

3:46 am

mattygroves

Morning Sprite and Ruby (and anyone else online).

3:46 am

mattygroves

May I please have stats for the E on the bottom of the last row and the A just above it?

3:47 am

sprite

*hugs matty* Good morning to you! How've you been?

3:47 am

rubyfoo

Good morning Matty

3:47 am

rubyfoo

Good morning Matty

3:47 am

mattygroves

I'm well - been working. It's a bank holiday weekend - woop!

3:47 am

rubyfoo

enow

3:47 am

mattygroves

So we have Monday off.

3:47 am

sprite

bottom E: et4/4

3:47 am

mattygroves

And the weather is, for a change, lovely

3:47 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:49 am

mattygroves

How's everyone over there?

3:49 am

sprite

the A above it is ah5/14

3:49 am

mattygroves

Oh, duh. Slap with a wet fish

3:49 am

sprite

had to check, lol, to see which word comes from which tile.

3:49 am

mattygroves

For both of those

3:49 am

mattygroves

Clearly still morning blind

3:49 am

sprite

*hits matty over the he4 with a tiny guppy*

3:50 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

3:50 am

mattygroves

nbt, but still no 7s or 8s

3:50 am

sprite

I am fine, mostly. Bit of a stress situation with my sister and father and a party. But everthing else is good. Or at least manageable, grin.

3:51 am

mattygroves

Sorry about the stressy party situation. Family can be difficult *hugs*

3:51 am

sprite

re7/48 made into firewood again
re8/40 sound reverberating

3:52 am

sprite

I love my sister. For the rest, my family is the one I chose: my friends. And my beloved and children, of course, and their friends. Happy household here.

3:53 am

mattygroves

That's a good way of looking at things

3:54 am

sprite

it is easy to be grateful for all the good things in life if you are just willing to pay attention to them, isn't it? Focusing on what is not good is so not helpful.

3:54 am

mattygroves

No. And so many people focus on what's wrong, rather than how to fix them and how to self-car

3:54 am

mattygroves

self-care, that should read

3:55 am

sprite

so true. Many people prefer complaining over trying to fix things or making them manageable. Self-care is important!

3:55 am

mattygroves

Found the 7 - thank you (and a whole bunch besides riffing off that) but not yet that 8

3:56 am

sprite

it is a bit clumsy clue, I am sorry. Think of a big room where sound really rings.

3:57 am

mattygroves

Yay - found it - thanks!

3:57 am

sprite

yvw!

3:58 am

mattygroves

We're off to Faro in Portugal on 9 September, which will be nice

3:58 am

sprite

oh how lovely! Portugal is beautiful and the weather should be just perfect by then.

3:59 am

mattygroves

That's what I'm hoping. Oh, and next weekend we've another folk festival (we went to Cropredy a couple of weeks ago which was sooo much fun) - these are birthday pressies from my 50th back in May

4:00 am

sprite

I hope you'll have a terrific time. You deserve it :)

4:00 am

Alleyn58

We are holidaying in Quinta do Lago just west of Faro - it's glorious

4:01 am

mattygroves

Ooooh, lovely - when are you off, Alleyn?

4:01 am

sprite

awesome pressies, btw. My beloved and I got tickets for the Lion King musical next week. Our neighbours won them in a lottery, but they cannot go and they also have already seen it, so they gifted them to us!

4:01 am

sprite

wow Alleyn, that is great.

4:01 am

mattygroves

Oh fantastic!

4:01 am

Alleyn58

Here until 15th September

4:02 am

mattygroves

Ah - we'll wave hello - we're off to Faro on the 9th and back a week later

4:02 am

mattygroves

Staying in an Airbnb - first time I've booked one

4:02 am

sprite

you could meet up, if you want to :)

4:03 am

sprite

what is an airbnb?

4:03 am

mattygroves

It's where people hire out either rooms in their homes or their entire home - it's an alternative to a hotel

4:04 am

sprite

sounds good. How do you like it, Alleyn?

4:05 am

sprite

fireflies. A very nice grid.

4:06 am

Alleyn58

Off to the beach - back later. We love The Algarve - have four weeks in a fractional freehold - lucky us

4:06 am

sprite

lovely! *hugs* to matty and Alleyn, and to ro4 if she logs on later. Have a blessed day and a peaceful night :)

4:06 am

mattygroves

zoozzoom

Hope you have fun then, Kallia!

5:26 am

zoozzoom

Sounds nice, Molly!

5:26 am

rubyfoo

I was supposed to have a fasting blood test, but the nurse didn't show up

5:26 am

zoozzoom

Not sure what studio crawling is though.

5:27 am

Kallia

should do zooz, picked different ones this year

5:27 am

rubyfoo

She's very unreliable but gives a great shot!

5:27 am

Kallia

open studios for artists:)

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Ah I see!

5:27 am

rubyfoo

Is studio crawling different from gallery-hopping?

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that, Ruby. Hope she turns up soon for you.

5:28 am

Kallia

lovely and peaceful Molly...we have a load of doves that seemdetermined to wake me atsunrise lol

5:28 am

rubyfoo

Too late for fasting....

5:28 am

Kallia

yes a bit, its one artist at a time...

5:28 am

zoozzoom

I remember have a blood test and the nurse hit a nerve in my arm. It was like an electric shock everytime I tried to move my arm.

5:28 am

Kallia

different typesof artist,fibre,painting, ceremics..all sorts

5:29 am

rubyfoo

The nurses here are mostly very skillful

5:30 am

zoozzoom

What material do you work with, Kallia?

5:30 am

rubyfoo

Only one gallery in my village and it has awful, vulgar art.

5:30 am

Kallia

textile mainly these days zooz

5:30 am

zoozzoom

Vulgar as in ugly or rude, Ruby?

5:31 am

rubyfoo

I think it's for tourists (or my wealthy fat neighbor who buys the horrible acrylic sculptures)

5:31 am

rubyfoo

Ugly, crude and the scultures are nasty

5:31 am

zoozzoom

Ah yes I remember quite a while ago now you were discussing this with another babbler who does the same as you, Kallia.

5:32 am

rubyfoo

<-- art snob

5:32 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:32 am

Kallia

lol I dont remember that zooz...your memory is good:)

5:33 am

rubyfoo

zzooz and Molly are the babble historians

5:33 am

zoozzoom

Not sure if I have a good memory or if my life is crap and nothing else happens in it so I remember these things LOL

5:34 am

Kallia

life can never be crap zooz...its so much better than the alternative

5:34 am

rubyfoo

hahah (or not....)

5:34 am

rubyfoo

Kalia, l tell myself that every day when l'm feeling down

5:34 am

Kallia

5:35 am

rubyfoo

5:35 am

zoozzoom

5:36 am

Kallia

5:36 am

rubyfoo

5:37 am

Kallia

James Martin (cookeryprogramme) was inAnnecy a couple of weeks ago Ruby....was thinking of you

5:38 am

Kallia

hello Matty

5:38 am

MollyL

Glad you said that. I would be wondering what Gendry was/is

5:38 am

rubyfoo

Kalia, you would love my studio -- full of lace, old fabric, artwork, antiques, every possible color of yarn, beads, books, old photgraphs and more!!!

5:38 am

zoozzoom

I keep meaning to watch game of thrones but have never gotten round to it.

5:41 am

zoozzoom

Not getting very far here. Still have 52 left. Think I will go and grab something to eat. Nice to see you all. Have a great day/evening.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

My late husband was always trying to encourage me: gave me a lovely piano - a year of lessons and l quit; a sewing machine - never used; and the bench!!! It is visible from the studio, currounded by bags and bags of broken blue and white pottery and glass

5:42 am

Kallia

my friend is here so I amoff too. Have agreat day all

5:42 am

rubyfoo

I need someone to crack the whip!

5:42 am

mattygroves

May I have a nudge on the KE5/6 combo (assuming it's a combo)?

5:42 am

MollyL

Ruby, you should hire someone to finish that bench. Really.

5:43 am

rubyfoo

Unless Gaudi's spirit is lurking, l don't think anybody could do it

5:43 am

MollyL

There must be some starving artist in France who could manage it. : )

5:43 am

rubyfoo

And, speaking of ghosts, l badly need a ghost-writer while l still remember stuff

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Matty, Mans name + vowel and consonant thenplural.

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Poof*

5:44 am

MollyL

I think it is so important to write the story of your life. It's your story, you are the only one who can write it.

5:44 am

mattygroves

8:22 am

doseffing

... in Ontario the results of the high school literacy test came out last week and the ministry of education is all happy that 81% of high school sophomores successfully passed the test ... ... of course ... to old cynic me ... that indicates that 19% of high school sophomores are illiterate

8:22 am

8:28 am

rubyfoo

thank you

8:30 am

rubyfoo

dose, how often do you have checkups. Mine are now every 3months! l'm afraid all the scans are a c&ncer risk....LOL

8:31 am

doseffing

... I've been down to once a year for six years now ... and they switch to ultrasounds three years ago

8:32 am

doseffing

... but I had CT scans every three months then six months for about six years ...

8:32 am

rubyfoo

I get antsy with every blood test and scan

8:33 am

rubyfoo

ahd Sept is coming....

8:34 am

doseffing

re

8:35 am

rubyfoo

I don't mind having blood drawn as the nurse comes to the house but I obsess over the results

8:35 am

doseffing

... for a CT scan ... it's going to depend upon what cancer you had and where they're scanning and for how long they scan and how powerfully they scan ... I'd suggest you just mention your concern to you physician or oncologist

8:36 am

doseffing

... can't worry about results ... insanity lies down that road

8:37 am

rubyfoo

The problem is that they've change my oncologist 4 times since it came back but now I've insisted on the chef de service but she's uninterested

8:37 am

doseffing

... my father had leukemia for ten years and my mother ... who was completely nuts already ... drove every one insane going over the numbers ... as if she had the foggiest idea of what they meant

8:37 am

doseffing

... talk to the young assistant resident that

8:37 am

doseffing

that

8:38 am

rubyfoo

Forme, it's been 27 yearss but it didn't come back until 23 yrs aftermy Miami doctor said l was cured!

8:39 am

doseffing

... that's working with her ... knows just as much from a theoretical perspective and is trying to demonstrate that they've got patient awareness

8:40 am

MLFAN17

re8?

8:40 am

rubyfoo

It has certainly expanded my knowledge of French...

8:41 am

doseffing

.... my medical opinion which is worth precisely nothing ... you were "cured" ... but that doesn't mean you can't develop it again ... I'm assuming it is one of the genetic forms so the triggers just got set off again ... unfortunately ... it happens as you age ... ... I'm at four times and I'm only 67

8:44 am

rubyfoo

Especially the dogs!

8:45 am

rubyfoo

fan, did you get my clue?

8:45 am

doseffing

... back in the day you had a bigger key board and it wouldn't let you hit the keys so rapidly and it mattered because you couldn't correct it by backspacing

8:45 am

MLFAN17
