Good morning

4:02 am

rubyfoo

The chemo appears to be helping albeit with nasty side effects.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

4:02 am

rubyfoo

sorry

4:03 am

lshult

wow, straight in with an9

4:03 am

lshult

afternoon all by the way

4:05 am

rubyfoo

<love the an9!

4:05 am

mattygroves

Not found it yet - good morning from rainy London!

4:07 am

lshult

sitting in sunny southern Israel right now, but got very wet a couple of weeks ago in London

4:07 am

mattygroves

I'm sure I spotted an old man with a long beard building a big boat...

4:08 am

hydra

Wish we could send this rain to Australia, where it's needed.

4:09 am

hydra

Morning, all.

4:09 am

mattygroves

Me too - my daughter, who lives in Melbourne, told me it was 45 today. She's pregnant; her work has been paying for Ubers to take her to and from work

4:10 am

hydra

Terrible, terrible heat. A friend of mine has come over here for a month, to escape.

4:10 am

hydra

She's from Perth.

4:11 am

Lizlin

34 C was the max today and thankfully no smoke haze today.

4:11 am

Lizlin

Looks like 19 is the high

4:11 am

hydra

It must be terrible, Lizlin.

4:11 am

Lizlin

Top temp in Melbourne tomorrow.

4:12 am

Lizlin

Itâ€™s not been pleasant. Theyâ€™ve declared us a drought area but havenâ€™t introduced water restrictions yet but I expect they will

4:13 am

hydra

So is it all down to global warming, or is the another reason?

4:14 am

Lizlin

I go with global warming ðŸ˜¢

4:14 am

rubyfoo

Weather isn't normal here either

4:15 am

hydra

It's getting really scary. And still big business is taking no notice. It makes you feel really powerless. We can see what's happening to the world but can't do anything about it. Good for Greta Thunberg!

4:15 am

Lizlin

Totally agree.

4:16 am

Lizlin

The damage to the barrier reef is awful. I saw such a difference between 2011 and 2018. So much bleaching.

4:17 am

hydra

I weep for the innocent wildlife that is getting wiped out. What have they done to deserve the treatment we humans are dishing out?

4:18 am

Lizlin

Heartbreaking. So much of their habitat has been destroyed over the past few weeks.

4:19 am

Lizlin

4:41 am

mattygroves

4:41 am

MollyL

4:41 am

mattygroves

Gotya, thanks!

4:42 am

rubyfoo

Hello, Molly, my results are very good. Nasty chemo is helping

4:42 am

MollyL

I'm so glad to hear that Ruby.

4:43 am

rubyfoo

The side effects are unpleasant, but the marker dropped more than half in one month

4:44 am

MollyL

stu mcc

we're going to see Fairport in Feb , they're touring nationwide

5:49 am

mattygroves

Oooh - I've seen the Feb tour fairly often - Cropredy a bunch of times. We're thinking of doing Cropredy this year; there's every chance we'll do the Feb tour (presumably in the Union Chapel).

5:49 am

mattygroves

Where are you seeing them?

5:51 am

stu mcc

The Stables in MK , it's a lovely intimate little venue ; not been to Cropredy for a few years - I got too old for tent floors !

5:51 am

mattygroves

We hotel and Uber it ;)

5:51 am

mattygroves

I want a bed, flushing, ensuite toilets and showers. I'm too old also for tents!

5:53 am

mattygroves

I camped in 97 and 2007. Hotel in 2010, 2017 and 2018. I can tell you which I prefer!

5:54 am

stu mcc

Think 2010 was the last one we went too

5:55 am

mattygroves

Fun fact: I'm one week older than Fairport (they were formed a week after I was born)

5:56 am

stu mcc

oh god , I bought Unhalfbricking for my 12th birthday

6:04 am

mattygroves

Haa! I got into Fairport because I went to a Jethro Tull concert and Fairport opened for them (not difficult, because at the time, you could have called them Jethro Convention or Fairport Tull)

6:15 am

stu mcc

Blimey , I've seen Tull and Steeleye in the past week - we sound like we have a common interest !

6:19 am

2:07 pm

hokie carla

lol, I call my mom every time to ask what to use to stir so it isn't grainy. (FTR, it's a metal spoon in a metal pot that causes it with my recipe.)

2:08 pm

BzznBea

I will try a wooden spoon next time. That's what my recipe called for and I thought, "ah."
