Gillie

Yesterday we did. Most of it is still hanging around.

12:43 am

cybernan

ouch -- I saw that some areas got 70 cm -- guess that was in the foothills

12:44 am

Gillie

I live on a hill that doesn't get cleared very quickly, so there have been lots of stuck cars.

12:44 am

Gillie

Not quite as bad as one year when the street got blocked up for a few days with a number of stuck cars and a tow truck

12:45 am

cybernan

We had snow that turned to slush on the streets, then it went down to -8 last night, so driving is quite interesting

12:46 am

hurshy

this conversation is making me want to make the sign of the cross, and i'm not even catholic

12:47 am

1:21 am

hurshy

hmmm, guess i need to re4 macbeth again, i don't remember that at all

1:22 am

Deeha

io love logging on this time of the morning watching you talk to yourself hurshy!!Happy christmas eve to you all

1:22 am

grannyrose

it's right after he's had four cups of red wine...

1:22 am

grannyrose

g'day dee

1:23 am

grannyrose

how's the weather over there? how's that for conversation?

1:24 am

Kamanjah

G'day Rose! It's foggy here...I'm sick of foggy damp weather. At least you're starting summer!

1:25 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{KAM}}}}}}}}

1:26 am

grannyrose

*takes a peek out the window* summer you say ?? then why do i have the heater on? huh ? tell me why ??

1:27 am

Deeha

Surprise its raining. Itseems to have rained almost non=stop since september. And living on the coast very high winds.Because of our covid record France has closed its borders to us so we have several thousand lorries parked along all the access roads to the port of vDover so all in all its pretty rotten!!Buit at least we know youve got summer!!

1:27 am

grannyrose

oh and the clock they sent did not tick after i explicitly said it had to have an audible tick. sorry honey. it

1:27 am

Kamanjah

{{{Rose}}}

1:28 am

Kamanjah

I've had the heater on most of the day trying to get it up to 70C in here. I've been wrapped in a blanket most of the day. My heater needs servicing asap.

1:28 am

grannyrose

gonna be a New Years gift, or maybe birthday, or maybe batmitzvah, or maybe easter. pick one, any one.

1:29 am

Kamanjah

Darn, everyone lies to make a sale. I'll just live without the tick. I got my satellite radio going on the computer and hooked up some good speakers, so it's not dead silent in here all day.

1:29 am

grannyrose

dear heaven dee. how utterly dreary.

1:30 am

grannyrose

oh, Kam. i found out it is the second hand which ticks. so i have found one. it's on its way to me now.

1:31 am

grannyrose

dee, how about running down the line of lorries and letting every second tyre down. that should cause some amusement...loll

1:32 am

hurshy

good golly miss molly Kamanjah, why on earth would you want it to be 70C ???

1:33 am

grannyrose

ahhh, hurshy. didn't you know what hot stuff our ms kam is made of? loll.... sending a box of sunshine over. any donors?

1:34 am

Kamanjah

Yeah, those new-fangled clocks without a tick are for people who love silence. The second hand that ticks is what I loved about the old clock. I could count seconds by the tick. A sweeping second hand just moves smoothly around each minute and isn't the same. I know that sounds so silly, but the tick is comforting - especially after 20 years of having the tick. No tock, just tick...tick...tick... lol!

1:35 am

Kamanjah

70 F - stupid me.

1:37 am

hurshy

teehee

1:38 am

hurshy

i have a nice clock shaped like a cat which ticks

1:40 am

Kamanjah

Hursh - I had a wonderful bird clock, but it kept losing 20 minutes a day as soon as I put it back on the wall where it lived for 20 years. I put it on a table, and it worked fine. I propped it up on a chair, and it worked fine. So, I tried putting it back up on the wall and dropped it. Oops - it broke into pieces.

1:41 am

hurshy

so sorry to hear that :(

1:41 am

grannyrose

and that's what i am trying to find for her, hurshy.

1:41 am

hurshy

i always feel like life should have a rewind button when something like that happens

1:41 am

Kamanjah

Lol, I agree!

1:42 am

Kamanjah

Rose has been trying to help me find a new "ticker" clock.

1:42 am

grannyrose

it's not a bird clock, but it certainly does have the audible tick. so i hope Kam's silence will be filled just a little for her.

1:43 am

hurshy

if it were a cat clock you could pretend the cat had killed the bird

1:43 am

grannyrose

whoot, whoot, just found my second 9... on my own...

1:43 am

Kamanjah

For those who don't know, I lost my husband in mid-October. Life just isn't the same, and then the comforting tick of the clock broke.

1:44 am

hurshy

oh i'm SO sorry kam!

1:44 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, Hurshy

1:48 am

hurshy

i am 95% done

1:49 am

grannyrose

3 to go here.

1:49 am

hurshy

oh you're so fast

1:50 am

grannyrose

it's a real drag at this end

1:50 am

hurshy

1:51 am

grannyrose

1:56 am

hurshy

YES, got it! tyvm

1:56 am

grannyrose

yay, hurshy.

1:58 am

Deeha

de-re8.50 = when you have to go back to work because your pension isnt enough!!

1:59 am

grannyrose

don't you just hate it when you put in your last word, and you're absolutely positive that you did so before but now it goes in.

2:07 am

grannyrose

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all who celebrate and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all. i have finished the Christmas pressies, now to double check i have everything for tomorrow's celebrations. i am so looking forward to this. after 2020 has finished i don't want to ever see it again. love, hugs, and sincerest of wishes for everything good for you all. xx

For those Babblers not already aware of this my Facebook account was hacked sometime within the last 48 hours. If you should receive a video from me, please do not play it or open it, just delete it immediately. I have since taken steps to tighent my security and passwords for FB. I see other babblers have also been affected by this hacker, so please take care.

5:11 am

Hi crossy. Yes, I got a video and ignored it. I never click on attachments in Messenger.

Annoying that people having nothing better to do with their time and go around hacking peoples accounts. :(

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Yes. I received the same message/video from another Babbler.

6:10 am

crosshair

If I ever desire to send a Babbler a video, I let them know ahead of time.

6:11 am

I must get ready for work now. Stay safe and well, Crossy.

6:40 am

mattygroves

Gifts, a surprise birthday cake made by someone in the village, Hannah (Jeff's daughter) and I cooked dinner, and a surprise zoom call in the evening. Low key but fun

6:49 am

7:13 am

dan2bit

we think it may wane after this year, but it seemed cruel to not continue what we can here in 2020

7:16 am

MollyL

It is a sad thing when kids stop getting excited about Christmas. That's when it's time for grandkids.

7:17 am

aslindy

8:26 am

chrisk

Looking back thru the chat I see that some Babble users facebook accounts were hacked. I got a notification from my Apple security app that the Babble passwords may have been compromised and that I should change my password. Might be a good idea for all Babble users.

8:27 am

BzznBea

Thanks, chris. I will do that.

8:27 am

saanichcat

thanks for the heads-up chris

8:27 am

BzznBea

Love your holiday wool piece.

8:30 am

chrisk

Your welcome. Thanks Bea. That's a piece I did and gave as a gift. I had a pattern for a large wall hanging with 7 different sized panels. I made them individually and gave them as gifts. Stitching has been a great stress reliever during this difficult year.

Yes, I've been glad to have my hobbies this year.

Hi all.

chrisk

I'm grateful to my Mom - who insisted that we kids learn how to do things like sewing, wood working, drawing, etc. My siblings and I have life long hobbies that have served us well this year. My husbands family didn't develop hobbies. The isolation has been harder on him.

8:38 am

mkg

I donâ€™t know how anyone gets through life without hobbies.

4:17 pm

Damn, Nan can pack away the food, can't she? How does she do it through that mask?

4:17 pm

zoozzoom

Reuse a hammer,spanner etc

4:18 pm

wht

Oops. Sorry about that. Off to the PB for me. I hope that someone left some Christmas Goodies there, not not that I need any more right now.

4:18 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx zoom!

4:18 pm

cybernan

isn't that a 6-9 combo?

4:19 pm

zoozzoom

Sorry yes it is.

4:19 pm

zoozzoom

Someone who has now reached an age on no more work.

4:19 pm

MollyL

Always goodies in the PB for you, wht. Merry Christmas.

4:20 pm

cybernan

I don't know why you give me such a hard time for wearing a mask, Molly --- it is only common sense to do so.

4:20 pm

zoozzoom

Or another one someone re putting ceramic squares up in the bathroom.

4:21 pm

cybernan

that was it -- ty zoom

4:25 pm

Trifioso

I am proud of you, nan! Wearing a mask is just about the kindest and most patriotic thing a person can do right now!

4:25 pm

Uneaixoise

Indeed!!

4:27 pm

Trifioso

I was SO vexed yesterday - had to go to pick something up at a store, could not avoid it. Stood six feet apart, but was treated to the lovely lady behind me, having a VERY loud cell phone conversation for all to hear - she was gabbing about how she was hoping to get her test results back by Saturday, since her brother's only took three days. I was furious. STAY HOME until you get the results!!!!

4:28 pm

cybernan

wow - exactly Trif

4:29 pm

Uneaixoise

So true!!

4:29 pm

MollyL

I wasn't giving you a hard time about wearing a mask Nan. Just making a joke.

4:29 pm

cybernan

worse than the woman here whose teenage son tested positive, so she kept him home but sent the 11 year old to school, thus passing it on to the elementary school

4:29 pm

zoozzoom

With the new strain of the virus mutating all over the place I wear my mask all the time except when I am at home or in my parents house.

4:30 pm

Trifioso

I miss being at school with my students. Distance learning just IS NOT the same

4:30 pm

MollyL

As it was a joke that you ate the two omelets and 30 cupcakes.

4:30 pm

zoozzoom

At least it should be safer though, Trif.

4:31 pm

cybernan

we don't have kids coming home right now -- we are being asked to stick socializing within the household -- for us that is just hubby and me

4:32 pm

zoozzoom

Well I have finished.May I wish all of you who celebrate it a very Merry Christmas as best as you can under the circumstances.

4:32 pm

MollyL

No one coming here for Christmas either. King of humbug-y

4:32 pm

cybernan

Merry Christmas to you too zoom

4:32 pm

Trifioso

same here, cybernan. No one coming here tomorrow. I was so angry when i heard the TSA processed over or near a million passengers each of the last 9 days. how stupid can people be????

4:33 pm

Trifioso

merry christmas, zooz. SO GLAD you are here to celebrate with!

4:34 pm

MollyL

People ARE stupid. This is nothing new.

From a Peanuts cartoon I saw the other day...
Lucy, "Scientists are saying that Covid-19 is spread from nasal and oral orifices, but the big spread of all is coming from assholes"

rururocks

MollyL

rururocks

5:01 pm

cybernan

rururocks
