My boys have always gotten a lot of gift cards

Hi kids.

car.eeyore

Hi Scrabs!!!

Scrabbler

How are you, eeyore? I just smiled when looking at a photo of your coven.

8:57 am

car.eeyore

We are doing good! Closing in 2 days...moving this weekend!Q

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Wow! What a major project!

8:58 am

car.eeyore

We have been in "move mode" for a year, so it is definitely time.

8:59 am

car.eeyore

And, we don't have the pressure of having everything out on moving day, so that helps. We can be moving stuff over, then do a major move day, then the rest and clean up.

8:59 am

Scrabbler

A fresh start.

9:00 am

car.eeyore

YES!!!! AMEN!

9:01 am

Well done, zoozzoom.

10:10 am

zoozzoom

Thank you. And it is very nice to see you, Haz!

10:11 am

Haz1558

And you!

10:12 am

zoozzoom

Hope you are enjoying this wonderful weather we have been having. Wonder how much longer it will last.

10:13 am

Haz1558

I've been delighted to have seen sunshine for so long. We've had a couple of days of rain just to freshen things up but hopefully the good weather will continue.

10:13 am

Haz1558

It makes such a change to be able to wear warm weather clothes for more than just holidays.

10:14 am

zoozzoom

No rain here for at least a month so far. Yes it is nice to wear less clothes. My parent swere shocked to see me without a jumper today haha!

10:14 am

Haz1558

My daughter lives in London and it has been sweltering there. She hasn't used the tube in weeks, declaring if she can't get somewhere by overground or bus, she won't go.

10:15 am

Haz1558

Our grass is crisping up a little, but nothing compared to the south of England. I saw overhead shots of London and was amazed at how yellow the grass is. It will recover eventually.

10:15 am

zoozzoom

Do not blame her. When I worked in London for a while it was stifling on the tube. Although I would not be able to afford the prices these days..It is so expensive now.

10:16 am

zoozzoom

Yes all the grass here looks like hay too.

10:16 am

TraderKate

Congratulations zooz!!!

10:16 am

Haz1558

We tend to visit her May or October time and even then it's amazing to feel the hot air in the tube, don't blame her for staying above ground.

10:17 am

zoozzoom

Thanks, TK :-)

10:19 am

zoozzoom

Must admit to not being in London for a fair few years now, Haz. It was a grubby place when I worked there. Since they had the Oylmpics the seem to have tidied the place up a lot.

10:20 am

Haz1558

We've been across a fair few times now - always something to see and do, apart from the attraction of seeing her, of course! It's amazingly busy, always, so that while I enjoy maybe 3 days or so, by the end I'm glad to come back to normality.

10:20 am

Haz1558

I don't think I could live there permanently. She seems to thrive on the buzz, but it's exhausting.

10:21 am

zoozzoom

Oh I hear you on that score. I do not mind going for a day or two but always glad to be home again.

10:21 am

Haz1558

You certainly need to keep your wi4/8 about you!

10:22 am

Haz1558

It's just the sheer number of people that amazes me. Everywhere you go, people.

10:22 am

zoozzoom

Not my cup of tea. Totally different to here on the Isle of Wight.

10:23 am

Haz1558

I know. My only other experience of living in a city was in Edinburgh as a student, but that was nothing compared to London.

10:23 am

zoozzoom

THe town here will be lucky to have around thirty people at the peak time haha!

10:23 am

Haz1558

Just a different pace of life, that's for sure.

10:24 am

rolin

lol... what a lovely way to start this grid..clearing the I and T with the first four words...and great words

10:24 am

zoozzoom

As I get older I tend not want to be around too many people. I may be just a grumpy old git haha!

10:25 am

rolin

dealteal

10:25 am

rolin

oops sorry

10:25 am

Haz1558

Ah, zoozzoom, you may be getting older, but you're never grumpy.

10:25 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rolin :-)

10:26 am

TraderKate

Hi rolin :)

10:26 am

zoozzoom

Aww thanks, Haz :-)

10:26 am

zoozzoom

TK what is sudoku like today?

10:27 am

Haz1558

Why, thank you. It's nice to be back. I've never stopped babbling (am moderately attached to the game) but wasn't chatting for a good while.

10:27 am

TraderKate

Haven't been zooz - didn't even do yesterdays.. behind again
(back to lurk mode so you can all catch up...)

10:28 am

Haz1558

It's allegedly easy, which means I find it harder than expert. No idea why.

10:28 am

zoozzoom

Well I am off to do sudoku. Great to see you again, Haz! Happy babbling everyone.

10:28 am

TraderKate

:(

10:29 am

Haz1558

Thanks, zooz, enjoy sucky-duck.

10:29 am

zoozzoom

Ah thanks for the heads up on that, Haz. Will give it a shot.

10:29 am

zoozzoom

11:08 am

dianedecoder

Hi, Kate :-)

11:42 am

NatashaW

given the prevalence of our feathered friends on this grid, it could be fair to say that both wi5/28 and di5/16 mean "bird-brained."

Kate, I didn't know that such a thing could happen! That's all my hubby does as he doesn't type....well only two fingered and even that is a chore.

12:03 pm

dianedecoder

I only read parts of the archived chat....so sad, but it was time !!

12:05 pm

TraderKate

Well, I didn't either, until it started happening to me... they have some new ROS, and hopefully likes are outlined in them.. they weren't in the old ones (I looked) but did have guidelines for likes if you were setting up a page for a business...

12:05 pm

flosey

I don't wear wool socks every day though--news flash!

8:08 pm

We're the mild part of the state. Eastern Montana-the prairie--get much more extreme weather.

8:11 pm

harpjane

We usually have about two weeks of 90-100 degree weather in the summer, and two weeks aroudn zero degrees in the winter. The rest is in between.
