any signs of whales yet? i was reading that due to their breeding cycle that there may be not as many this year.

12:58 am

Lizlin

There are loads but we've decided that after 10 years it was time to retire from whale watching. We loved it but it just washed us out for the rest of the day.

1:00 am

grannyrose

1:00 am

Lizlin

For me it was the Kwells

grannyrose

Hallo all

3:37 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Matty. enjoying the hot weather :-)

3:37 am

grannyrose

xoxox matty. how are you both?

3:37 am

grannyrose

{{zooz}} you lovely man. xoxox

3:38 am

zoozzoom

((Rose)) good to see you. How is it going your side?

3:39 am

grannyrose

cold !!! but i am loving it... loll. fibromyalgia is still under control. doing gym on Thursdays and hydro on Mondays. i am so much more confident walking with no aids.

3:40 am

zoozzoom

Nice one! Sounds like you have a good exercise regime goig there.

3:41 am

zoozzoom

We have had hot sunny weather for nearly two weeks now and I am loving it!

3:41 am

grannyrose

and your Mum and Dad? are they still behaving, health-wise?

3:41 am

grannyrose

yahoo zooz. you'll have a suntan before you know it.. loll

3:42 am

zoozzoom

Mother has had cameras everywhere and been given medication for this and that.So I am hoping it will all settle down. Although she was not too good yesterday. Father is frail but still going lol

3:43 am

zoozzoom

Ha! Only the bits that I let the sun get to. Like Face and hands. I wear a t-shirt now and then when it gets into the 30s like yesterday.

3:43 am

grannyrose

awww go on zooz... expose that manly chest. i want pics...

3:44 am

zoozzoom

I burn very easily. My sister said I am the only one she knows who can get burnt wearing factor 30 suntan lotion lol

3:44 am

grannyrose

mind you, you had better warn the locals if you are going to start wearing short pants

3:45 am

zoozzoom

Ha No chance of my legs being shown, Rose!

3:45 am

grannyrose

hahaha... roflol...

3:47 am

zoozzoom

I finally remebered to tell my doctor about my throat closing up global spasm I think it is called and the magnesium tablets you told me about and that it stopped closing up in a couple of days. He said Really? I didi ot know that would work! Did not instil much confidence in his ability to help.

3:48 am

zoozzoom

I told him a nurse in Australia told me about it.

3:49 am

grannyrose

oh zooz. what a hoot !! but i am so glad it helped.

3:50 am

zoozzoom

Me too! It was horrible having the throat close up when you are trying to sleep.

3:51 am

grannyrose

docs are quite behind the times when it comes to the uses of magnesium. except if they are pain specialists.

3:51 am

zoozzoom

I hear they have found the 12 kids and a teacher in the flooded caves in Thailand. Nice to hear a good news story for a change!

3:52 am

zoozzoom

Probably why he knew nothing about it then. Still he has learnt something new!

3:52 am

grannyrose

bio-chemistry is about to be turned on it's head. the therapeutic levels for magnesium are way higher than previously thought

3:53 am

grannyrose

oh, yes, zooz. i too was so relieved when i heard the news.

3:54 am

zoozzoom

There are different types of magnesium though and can get confusing when trying to buy some if you are not too sure which one is right for you.

3:55 am

grannyrose

exactly. the one i recommended to you though is very easily absorbed.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Rose you said it is cold what temp i it that you feel it is cold. And if you say 21c I will go mad lol

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Sorry for the typos. Trying to type too fast.

3:56 am

zoozzoom

stoic

3:57 am

zoozzoom

sorry everyone

3:57 am

grannyrose

lolll... poor zooz... how about 10c, but overnight much lower. mind you 21c is almost cold for us.

3:58 am

zoozzoom

10c is chilly for me too. Well you are used to the hot weather so I can understand why 21c is not a hotness for you.

3:59 am

grannyrose

did i tell you? when we were in Singapore, the taxi driver apologised for it being so hot. i asked him, what is the temp? he said 25c. don and i nearly wet ourselves laughing. i told to cab driver, that is what we have in early spring....

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Oh bless him. Now he would of been right telling that to a british couple lol

4:01 am

zoozzoom

It was 29c here yesterday and i still had my t-shirt and jumper on lol my dad was bare chested and moaning at how hot is was.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Has Don finished all the house repair work yet, Rose?

4:06 am

grannyrose

for pete's sake zooz !! i don't want to rush the man. just because it's 14 years in 10 days time...

4:07 am

grannyrose

and loll at your father. aren't they precious? it is never the right temp for the oldies.. xox

4:07 am

zoozzoom

LOL Oh bless him...A man has to plan carefully, Rose! You know that.

4:08 am

zoozzoom

It is all in the planning.

4:08 am

grannyrose

rofloll. i know that. it took him 6 years to propose.

4:08 am

zoozzoom

That is normally how far we get though lol

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Ah but he made the right choice though didn't he, Rose :-)

4:09 am

grannyrose

anyway, i agree with him we need shelter for the car, and a roof over the back deck first.

4:09 am

grannyrose

*giggling* i wouldn't have allowed any other choice..

4:10 am

zoozzoom

With the prices of cars theses days you do need shelter for them.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to leave you here, Rose , It is time for me to go and see parents. Hope you have a great night sleep ((Rose)) Happy babbling everyone!

4:10 am

grannyrose

and the hail st5s we have had, with hailstones the sixe of large oranges. those st5s have written off two of our cars.

4:11 am

grannyrose

oh mate. pleae give them my kindest of regards. we will visit ASAP.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Geez that is large! That size could easily kill a person.

4:12 am

grannyrose

yup... it was very scary.

4:12 am

zoozzoom

Will do, Rose. Bye for now..Poof*

4:37 am

MollyL

Hi all, need a clue for ca6,21 - not the singer, t'other one :-)

11:19 am

rbud

"Real" fireworks are illegal in this state, I jokingly cal them "smokeworks" - I grew up in a state where any and all big bangs were ok, so it's really pretty quiet here, considering.

11:19 am

NatashaW

Our dog seems to do better if I put on Vivaldi really loud...

11:20 am

bichon

fireworks used to illegal, but now it's not (((

11:20 am

carleekat

LuvWordGames

has anyone else noticed that the stats on the rankings page hasn't been updated in a few days?

2:13 pm

zoozzoom

Just as I was about to hit the six million mark too, LuvWordGames :-(

2:14 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Carleekat not seen you here for a long while! Hope all is well with you.

2:19 pm

zoozzoom

Looks like I missed everyone. Never mind diving into the grid.

2:27 pm

TraderKate

Hi zooz :)

2:27 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, TK! How are you today?

2:28 pm

TraderKate

Pretty well zooz still quite warnm here. HOw are things on your side of the pond?

2:28 pm

zoozzoom

Very warm here also but loving it!

2:29 pm

TraderKate

So, zooz is a happu boy today? :D

2:29 pm

zoozzoom

I am indeed. I see the chat log is still going for it over on the sudoku site.

2:31 pm

TraderKate

I haven't been to see zooz. I hoe they are behaving a bit...but actually glad not to see the dry done, ng as the sole comments. They used to chat a lot there back in the day.

2:32 pm

zoozzoom

Nt been there today either but it has been lively last few days.

2:32 pm

TraderKate

Yes, it has! Haven't weighed in at all - I never read the book...

2:33 pm

zoozzoom

lol nope same here. Not keen when people are bashing each other so I tend to stay out of it.

2:34 pm

TraderKate

To their credit, most are doing quite well. There is one that should perhaps temper their comments a bit more. ;?

2:35 pm

TraderKate

I haven't seen you in a while, how was your anthology of British short sotries?

2:35 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I know the one you mean. I think they were being nasty on purpose. but anyway enough of that.

2:36 pm

zoozzoom

Oh good grief , TK if that is the best of British 2017 I hate to see what did not make the grade!

2:37 pm

zoozzoom

I am back onto Marcel Proust again now. Almost finished the second book. Anotherfour more to go then!

2:37 pm

TraderKate

Oh dear! Sorry to hear this zooz. You have bought this in other years and been quite pleased, haven't you?

2:38 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I have although most of the other short St5/14 books have around 100 stories in them so you have a much wider variation. This one only had around 20 I think.

2:41 pm

TraderKate

That's a disappointment zooz. Hopefully next year's will be better. TY for the hint. ;)

2:43 pm

zoozzoom

Not on the short stories side I enjoyed Philip pullmans new novel The book of dust part one. Very good st 5/14 that gets you gripped from the first paragraph. Can ot wait for the second instalment!

2:44 pm

TraderKate

Sounds goos zooz, wht is the main plot of the book?

2:44 pm

Shirlockc

i wondered about that pullman -- i liked his golden compass books. haven't picked up the dust one yet

2:44 pm

zoozzoom

Also loved the Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children series!

2:44 pm

TraderKate

Hi Shirl :)

2:44 pm

Shirlockc

2:45 pm

I was reading in earlier chat that you read miss peligrein home for peculiar children.. sorry bad spelling...

2:58 pm

MLFAN17

i saw the movie and loved it. how many books are their in the series and for what age group are they for?

2:58 pm

zoozzoom

There are four s far and another on the way this year. they are mainly for teenagers and up.

2:59 pm

MLFAN17

age group wise i thought so as the movie seemed to gear towards that age group.

3:00 pm

MLFAN17

i had wondered when i first saw previous for the movie whether or not i should have read at least that book

3:00 pm

zoozzoom

Well three really but there is a side book Called Tales of the Peculiar.

3:00 pm

MLFAN17

is that book a prequel?

3:01 pm

zoozzoom

No it is a stand alone book which is a collection of stories that are intended for peculiar children only.

3:02 pm

MLFAN17

ohh ty zooz appreciate the info too bad its for teens

3:03 pm

zoozzoom

I prefer the books to the movie as I find they tend to leave a lot of the book out. I also like to imagine what the characters look like by the descriptions in the books. With a film they take that away from you and sometimes they are not what you thought they would look like lol

3:03 pm

MLFAN17

this is true

3:04 pm

MLFAN17

i only knew one person in the film but it was so good

3:04 pm

zoozzoom

It does not mean you can not read them lol I read lots and lots of books meant for the teen market. Does not mean an adult can not enjoy them also.

3:05 pm

MLFAN17

well everybody (not me) read Harry Potter books lol

3:05 pm

TraderKate

The Harry Potters were written for a younger readership

3:05 pm

zoozzoom

stidmama

I am doing better. We have discovered some meds that seem to help with the anaphylactic reactions I was having at school, and I will start my fifth year teaching the "littles" at the end of August. Spending time this summer planning lessons for the two nearly-new teachers we hired for next year... I will be the "senior" teacher since the real pro has taken a different position next year. My babies are now 25 and 23... and sometimes they don't need their mama any more (but lots of times they do).

7:05 pm

origami

Wow, stids. Seems like just yesterday you started with the young kids.

7:06 pm

stidmama
