when you write a book of research, you often have extra things to say that you don't want to put in the body of the main text, bichon. once upon a time it was hard to get them at the foot of the page they went with, on account of there not being word processing programs yet. so instead people did en8, collected all those things and put them at the back of the book together.

Hi Liz!
7:12 pm
Lizlin
Hi Ru and Car - just back from drinking some lovely wines inFrance.
7:12 pm
NatashaW
I don't drink except on rare occasions (wedding toast, e.g.) or if I'm in Italy. Wine in the USA gives me a headache.
7:13 pm
car.eeyore
Very nice!
7:13 pm
rururocks
there ya go.. wtg liz
7:13 pm
Lizlin
Much prefer French wines to the Aussie ones my hubby likes.
7:13 pm
Lizlin
How was your Canada holiday, Ru?
7:14 pm
rururocks
I don't know.. I'm not Canadian yet
7:14 pm
Lizlin
I know that but I thought you'd been on holiday there recently.
7:14 pm
rururocks
oh.. my vacation was fantastic
7:14 pm
Lizlin
I've been a bit out of touch with 5 weeks inEurope
7:15 pm
Scrabbler
I don't drink any alcohol. Never liked the taste nor the effect on my brain.
7:15 pm
rururocks
I hung out with Bugs and Saanich and we all had a fabulous time
7:15 pm
Lizlin
Right - lingo problems. Vacation not holiday.
7:15 pm
Lizlin
Great, glad you enjoyed it.
7:15 pm
Scrabbler
Great, Ruru!
7:15 pm
rururocks
my back has recovered from the whale watching trip too..
7:15 pm
rururocks
we had kind of rough seas on our trip
7:16 pm
Lizlin
OK that would upset your back. How were the whales though?
7:16 pm
car.eeyore
Oh no :(
7:16 pm
rururocks
we didn't see any this trip.. we got a free pass for the next visit
7:17 pm
rururocks
it was still beautiful cruising around all the islands regardless
7:17 pm
rururocks
there are only about 74 of the whales left that we were trying to see.. so sighting them can be rare
7:18 pm
Lizlin
Good that they gave you a free pass. The companies here do that too. The islands looked beautiful when I was there but it must have been disappointing that the whales didn't come to play
7:18 pm
rururocks
I've had a lot of great whale experiences.. so I can't complain
7:19 pm
Scrabbler
I passed halfway so I am done. See you tomorrow.
7:19 pm

not enough food source.. the Chinook salmon has been overfished
7:22 pm
Lizlin
Our humpbacks are increasing in number every years
7:22 pm
Lizlin
Ah! Overfishing. Hope that the whale population can recover. The orcas there are beautiful.
7:22 pm
rururocks
we played with a baby humpback in Hawaii Snorkeling at Molakini Crater
7:23 pm
Lizlin
Must've been wonderful.
7:23 pm

7:24 pm

7:27 pm
rururocks
coney or cony is a rabbit (in old language)
7:27 pm
Lizlin
I've not heard that before - or I've forgotten it.
7:28 pm
Shirlockc
i always thought it was with an e
7:28 pm
rururocks
you might be hard of hare-ing then :D
7:29 pm
Shirlockc
you're acting on a hutch
7:29 pm
rururocks
cony relates to the pelt and coney is the rabbit actually (we shouldn't mention this with scrabs around)
7:29 pm
Lizlin
Can't even begin to think of a pun this morning. Jet lag isn't helping.

11:20 pm
helenkeller
73 to go - am going through my words, adding 's' - how's your arm jacs?
11:22 pm
Jacula
Arm's not too bad, helen, but I'm going to take the advice from my friend Sue and see my GP.
11:22 pm
harpjane
145 to go
11:23 pm
Jacula
Sue's dodged the grim reaper twice and probably knows what she's talking about.
11:23 pm
helenkeller
jacs - I think that's a good idea. There's no telling why things like that pop up. But, you're probably right, too much knitting.
11:23 pm
helenkeller
go harp go!
11:24 pm
Jacula
I'm pretty sure it is too much knitting, Helen.
11:24 pm
Jacula
I'm invincible, dontchya knw? ;)
11:25 pm
helenkeller
How do you think you're withdrawl will be? Expecting a case of the shakes, lol? Then we can have more baking pics, yay!
11:25 pm
helenkeller
Oh yeah, the older we get, the more invincible we are, also bullet-proof. :)
11:26 pm
Jacula
Baking hasn't been something I've wanted to do in the recent hot times in UK. But I'm missing home made cake, so might have to do it soon, hot or not.
11:27 pm
helenkeller
I'm missing the savory stuff - that always make my mouth water. (Sometimes I even dumb down something you've made - you know, fewer ingredients, less work. Sheeeeh, don't tell anyone.)
11:27 pm
Jacula
I did make bread pudding on Sunday with the leftover bread P had from his week on the road. That was baked.
11:28 pm
Jacula
LOL re the dumbing down of my recipes, helen!
11:29 pm
helenkeller
:) You should take that as a compliment :)
11:30 pm
Jacula
I'm doing Cheddar Cod tonight and warm chorizo salad in the week. So for the fist recipe you need a cod steak, some chopped tomatoes, some fresh breadcrumbs, grated cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper. Just warning you in advance.
11:32 pm
helenkeller
*making a list*
11:34 pm
Jacula
Warm chorizo salad - chorizo sausages you can slice or cut in half, pickled beetroot to slice, same of mini pickled gherkins. Lots of mixed salad leaves, balsamic vinegar.
11:35 pm
Jacula
Oh, and for that last recipe, very thin slices of potato, fried until just soft and golden.
11:37 pm
helenkeller
That sound scrumptious!
11:38 pm
Jacula
I'm still amused that daughter's ex-b/f (a Romanian chap) who made a point of never eating vegetables or salad, surprised himself by wolfing that meal down when I put it in front of him.
11:39 pm
Jacula
If there's one scene from the past that I hit the replay button in my head to see again, it is him saying that. LOL
11:44 pm
Jacula
Another scene is when me and OH came home from holiday and Dorin asked if we'd had a nice time. I said that we had, apart from all the midge bites. He, still learning English then, looked totally horrified as he imagined midgets (small humans) biting us. I did explain.
11:45 pm
helenkeller
LOL - that's precious, midgets biting, and creepy.
11:45 pm

co7-8 combo please?
11:47 pm

11:51 pm
harpjane
if it is not a e i o u, it is a co9.
