hurshy
who's still around and have you watched 'Rosa' episode of doctor who?
1:01 am
lynxxx
Yes - a cute twist. Loving the new Doctor, she's great
1:01 am
hurshy
'cute'? i was sobbing
1:03 am
hurshy
not that i'm offended by you calling it cute, just curious
1:03 am
lynxxx
I was wondering how they were going to be 'there' without changing a real event. ZPerhaps I should have said cute writing
1:03 am
lynxxx
or better - clever writing
1:04 am
hurshy
and some other clever things too
1:05 am
lynxxx
I am loving the whole new feel of it all (not just this episode)
1:05 am
hurshy
did you notice that one shot in the 1942 bus incident where the bus driver stood up and the camera was behind him, and you saw her past him but you could see he had a holster with a gun? i thought that was a brilliant subtle-but-vivid way to convey the serious threat
1:07 am
hurshy
but yeah i'm loving her as the doctor, liking the theme being a little more throwback to the original music, liking many things.
1:07 am
lynxxx
I didn't notice but am recording the episodes so I'll go back and look - I tend to miss a lot on first view
1:07 am
hurshy
yeah, the episodes can be so dense
1:07 am
hurshy
that you really have to see it more than once
1:08 am
hurshy
i've always felt that way, not just this season
1:08 am
hurshy
unrelated: why does my brain think that there is a babblet 'craesi' or something close to that?
1:09 am
hurshy
hmm, maybe
1:11 am
sprite
good morning all. Phantom: junior
1:12 am

hiya lyn xxx :)
Long time no see. How have you been?
1:13 am
hurshy
hey spritey
1:13 am
hurshy
morning for you, and i'm about to go to sleep! but nice to see you :)
1:13 am
lynxxx
Older but otherwise well. How is everyone in your neck of the woods
1:13 am
sprite
*hugs hursh* How are you today?
1:13 am
sprite
sweet dreams, hursh :)
1:15 am
sprite
older and wiser, lyn!
We are good. Daughter in her final year of university. Son in his first, in Edinburgh. My love and I in the process of selling our house and downsizing to a tiny house. That we still have to build, so long term plans.
1:16 am
lynxxx
Gosh - thats all such a change. How tiny is tiny - and where? Is your husband building it?
1:17 am
sprite
tiny will be about the size of a trailer. The where is still in progress, we have a couple of options but no definitive okay yet. And yes, my husband will be doing most of the building.
1:19 am
blueskies29
That's very cool, sprite! I love the tiny house "movement...
1:20 am
lynxxx
trailer to an Australian would mean a footprint of about 2 metres by 2 metres
1:20 am
sprite
thanks blue! It has been our dream for a long time, to live a simple life, close to nature, nothing more than what we really need. And not all the complications of mortgage etc.
1:21 am
grannyrose
cooee and g'day from me. {{{{spritey}}} {{lyn}} {{blue}}
1:21 am
sprite
that is smaller than we think, lyn. We are thinking 2,5m by 7m.
1:21 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Good evening, my dearest friend. How was your day? And how are you feeling?
1:22 am
ursh
trailer to a South African is what you hitch behind your car to carry extra stuff that does not fit in the boot
1:22 am
lynxxx
I must go, Patch is getting anxious about his walk
1:23 am
lynxxx
same here Ursh - and hi
1:23 am
sprite
lol! Here, it is the thing you can hitch behind a truck. Flatbed trailer.
1:23 am
hurshy
spritey but your area then is 17.5 sq m whereas lynxxx would be 36
1:23 am
ursh
I think trailer to an American is what we call a caravan or a park home - bigger version of a caravan
1:23 am
sprite
bye lyn, have a lovely walk. *hug*
1:23 am
grannyrose
weepy today. joints aching +++. have taken endone. day has been very quiet. and you dearest? how was your night? how are you with that wretched flu??
1:23 am
hurshy
i think there are multiple things americans call trailer, in various sizes.
1:24 am
hurshy
oh wait sorry i somehow thought lynxxx said 6 x 6 not 2 x 2
1:24 am
grannyrose
sprite, you call it a trailer. we call it a mobile home or a caravan.
1:24 am
sprite
all the different measement systems got me lost, lol. Well, tiny house it is, and I will let you all know what exactly it will be once we have decided :D
1:24 am
hurshy
the US just doesn't use the word caravan much
1:25 am
hurshy
and when we do it's to talk about like, a historical thing of people walking/riding beast/wagons in a long group, like a Gypsy caravan or something
1:25 am
hurshy
or the Dodge minivan...
1:26 am
sprite
*hugs rose extra* Sweetie, good for you that you took the endone. Pain is draining. Take it very easy, ya hear?
I am okay. Flu is raging, coughing my ass off and spending half the day on the toilet. But cleaning and prettying up the house in the meantime, so that we will be ready for the first prospective buyers tomorrow.
1:26 am
hurshy
i have GOT to get offline, ack, ttfn!
1:26 am
sprite
oh yes, a caravan of camels :D
1:26 am
sprite
bfn, hursh, *hug*
1:28 am
sprite
oh, nice an7!
1:29 am
ursh
Sprite I have read that one should put flour in the oven before prospective buyers come - makes the house smell like baking bread - homely appeal :)
1:29 am
grannyrose
neat trick urshy.
1:30 am
sprite
yeah I heard that too, or bake an applepie. Our realtor said not to bother, people know that trick already. Just make the house smell clean and pleasant.
1:30 am
grannyrose
your house always smelled clean and pleasant, sprite.
1:31 am
sprite
awwww thanks darling!
1:33 am
sprite
I am not even really nervous, can you believe it? Just a bit tingly. we have decided I will go with Rob to his work, with Terra, tomorrow. And friday afternoon we will go to the canoe club where the container is now, and get the thing more organised.
1:33 am
grannyrose
good on you sprite. i am so proud of you. you are coping so well.
1:34 am
sprite
all thanks to Noud, I think. That man has made all the difference in that silly head of mine.
1:35 am
grannyrose
and honey? please don't do what i did... i accepted the first offer made... and it was no where near what the house was worth. you and Rob have to be very strong...and not show any signs of anxiousness.
1:37 am
sprite
oh, we are not even present. The buyers will put their offer to the realtor, not to us. I think we will wait out the appointments made for viewing the house. Once they are over with, we will see what offers (if any) are made... and if there is one that offers us what we need, I think we will accept.
1:37 am
grannyrose
have you checked what properties like yours are selling for?
1:38 am
sprite
I have been thinking about exactly that this morning, for real.
Was thinking, yeah, we could go for the big bucks. Or we could focus on our needs, keep it simple, not taking more than we need... which is how we want to live our lives.
1:39 am
sprite
yeah. Prices are crazy, rose. People go into bidding wars over hovels. We will see...
1:39 am
grannyrose
i know honey, but having that little extra behind you is so comforting.
1:41 am
sprite
true. I think we will ask our realtor to advice us anyway. If he thinks holding out longer will not give us a lot of extra, we might accept. We will try to be wise :D
1:41 am
grannyrose
just don't let the buyer fool you.
1:42 am
grannyrose
i thought my realtor, who was a long time acquaintance of mine, had my best interests at heart.. turned out that he didn't.
1:43 am
sprite
that was one reason I (rather rudely) refused when Rob said we could be our own realtor and save some money that way. I am NOT gonna do something like this by myself. Not only because I think money issues are scary, but because we do not have the first inkling of knowledge about the whole process.
1:43 am
sprite
aw rose, that is bitter :( What an ass.
1:46 am
Kamanjah
Smart move, Sprite! Selling a house (your own home!) is so difficult in so many ways. I hope you get good offers after the first showings.
1:46 am
sprite
thanks Kam :) *hugs*. How are you doing, dear one? And how is Michael?
1:46 am
grannyrose
whoot !!! {{{{kam}}}}
1:49 am
Kamanjah
Michael seems to be doing very well, but the weather changes are hitting both of us. And it's birthday week for both of us - I hate this week! His present is already hanging on the wall (rather crookedly - he fell in love with a photo, so I got it for him), but the day after my b-day, he asks what he can get me. UGH!!! I've been throwing huge hints - I want a new LeCruset pot - I've even shown him how awful the current one is worn three times! Duh...sometimes they don't get the hint, lol! I told him...he says "but that's an 'everyday' thing"
1:51 am
sprite
awwww that is cute... he wants you to have something special, something personal. But yeah, I hear ya. Hinting often does not reach the mark with our loved ones.
1:51 am
Kamanjah
So, you are fighting a flu? I hope it's not serious.
1:51 am
sprite
and belated happy birthday, dear one... *hugs* and kisses and as a present, a huge store of energy.
1:51 am
grannyrose
lolll... kam... the time my father bought my mother a new iron for her birthday, he had to learn to duck fast... she threw it at him.
1:51 am
sprite
darn flu ruined my date with dfcm. We were gonna do a babble meet, but I had to cancel.
1:52 am
Kamanjah
Haha, Rose! I can imagine if she didn't want it that she was furious!
1:52 am
grannyrose
~~~~~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY ~~~~~~ DEAREST kAM
1:52 am
sprite
good for her, lol. An iron... now that is horrible.
1:52 am
Kamanjah
Oh darn, Sprite, that sucks.
1:53 am
grannyrose
kam, she didn't want it.... she needed it....
1:54 am
grannyrose
now me..... *looking at Don*.... i love fresh flowers... every time.
1:54 am
sprite
afaiac, household necessities are no birthday presents. I'd rather get a single rose than an expensive household appliance. From my beloved, that is.
1:54 am
Kamanjah
Well, a present that involves ironing men's shirts...ugh! I have a broken iron somewhere....
1:54 am
sprite
snap, rose :)
1:55 am
grannyrose
kam... use it for a door stop... loll
1:55 am
sprite
we gave away our iron and board. We never use it. Downsizing... so away it goes.
1:56 am
Kamanjah
I didn't even get flowers this year. Usually I do, and I'm totally happy with them. He wasn't thinking about dates, and had the chance to go do something special for himself - he now has a nice buffalo hide drum he built himself. I was a little ticked off, but I don't think he realized the drum workshop was on my bday when he signed up.
1:57 am
sprite
still, he definitely needs to make it up to you, Kam. He may not have realised, but it is still a bit hurtful.
1:57 am
grannyrose
i know, i know... ironing is so passe. but it gives me some quiet time, and allows me to check for buttons, tears, loose threads.
1:58 am
sprite
I do not buy clothes that need ironing, tbh. I hate the job.
1:58 am
Kamanjah
Heck, I check all that before things go in the washer...he needs new shirts
1:58 am
Kamanjah
The only time we use an iron is if we are sewing something
1:59 am
sprite
lol, I always tell him to toss the worn-out stuff before washing. Once I have washed it, he has to wear it once more. :)
2:00 am
Kamanjah
He won't toss 'em. I stick dead tshirts in the rag bag after washing. He's losing a couple next round, they are too dead to wear! But, I'm a week behind on laundry right now...
2:01 am
Kamanjah
getting sick doesn't speed up chores...I hope you're coping ok with all the house stress, Sprite
2:01 am
sprite
lol, definition of one of the ac7s: 'the state of mind in which someone acts against their better judgement through weakness of will.'
Sounds about my normal state of mind.
2:02 am
sprite
not really coping with the laundry, Kam, we have decided that we will put the dirty laundry in the car on the viewing days. I need another 4 to 5 days to get it all clean, folded and in the closets.
2:03 am
sprite
today, it is all about prettying things up. After babble, I am gonna get some fresh flowers. Will air the house. And do a general checkup and final touches allover the place.
2:04 am
grannyrose
yay for you dearest.
2:05 am
sprite
thanks rose. Your support means so much to me. The support of y'all. I mean.
2:06 am
grannyrose
don'tchaknow.... i am always with you honey. underneath, beside, behind and in front... ALWAYS
2:06 am
Kamanjah
It's not easy trying to keep the house in showable condition when you actually LIVE there..
2:06 am
sprite
so very trye
2:08 am
sprite
I know, rose. I truly know and I cannot begin to tell you how much that means. And how much it helps.
2:08 am
Kamanjah
Well, I've got to get to bed early tonight...good luck and feel better!
2:08 am
sprite
sleep well and long, Kam. *hugs*
2:09 am
Kamanjah
Night, all! *Hugs*!

It's been quite dry so the leaves aren't slippery yet. Temperatures are due to fall at the weekend.

So I hear....mind you, we've had a long spell of warm weather...suppose we can't really complain.....

10:23 am

I got my boiler serviced yesterday, so am happy!

The man who does the boiler is a great source of local information. It's like having an annual round up of local news when he comes in for a cup of tea.

Oh how fab!.....I just love characters like him.....the guy who comes to service my overhead hoist is a wee bit like that....we always have a very interesting conversation!

ac7 ( the first one), ends in the letters of a continent, and the second one is ac plus dried grape minus a vowel.

The Japanese women were great. Nathan Chen was, of course, outstanding. He is a firt year student at ale
1:08 pm
bichon
Yes, it was on a network show and the Olympic Channel
1:09 pm
TraderKate
I like Chen :) High hopes for him! I like some of the new rule changes - about scoring especially. not sure I like the reduction in time for the free for men and pairs.
1:10 pm
bichon
Don't understand that at all
1:12 pm
TraderKate
I just did a quick read - don't really know why they did that.. they took the pairs side by side spin out because of it, I think.. or the pairs spin, not sure which.
1:13 pm
bichon
Unfortunate.
1:14 pm
TraderKate
One of those things, I guess... nothing is written in stone - they may go back if they find it's not working well. Would be a shame if programs are too rushed because of it.
