qu10, please?
6:36 am
Freeman
Does it work off the qu8 before it?
6:37 am
Haz1558
Freeman, it works off the qu5/16 - possibly meaning to put an amount on something, it ends in past tense of to consume food.
6:38 am
Freeman
got it thanks
6:38 am
Haz1558
Great, well done.
6:41 am
Scrabbler
Thanks, Haz.
6:41 am
Haz1558
You are very welcome.
6:42 am
Scrabbler
I am just gaining consciousness so it took me 4 tries.
6:43 am
Haz1558
I think your mind wants to make it a word you know but neither f nor y in the grid!
6:44 am
Haz1558
Scrabbler,I had my 2nd dose of Pfizer on Saturday. 1st dose only slightly sore arm, this one made me so dozy and fatigued that I couldn't even rouse enthusiasm to babble. Early night and I'm absolutely fine this morning.
6:46 am
Scrabbler
When I had Moderna dose #2 I was fine for 33 hours then had 6 hours of fever, chills, and muscle aches. Then I was fine. The immune system works hard.
6:47 am
periwinkle
good morning. how any qu5 words are there?
6:47 am
Haz1558
There are 3 qu 5 words, peri.
6:48 am
Scrabbler
Hi Peri
6:48 am
periwinkle
Ihave them but cannot seem to make the qu10
6:48 am
periwinkle
or the qu8
6:48 am
Scrabbler
Gerund for sewing the patterned blanket
6:48 am
Scrabbler
That is a qu8
6:49 am
Haz1558
qu10 - qu plus a word for against (4), then four letters for Little Man - Jodie Foster film, I think.
6:49 am
Scrabbler
I loved that movie.
6:50 am
Haz1558
I can't remember if I've ever seen it. It's just one of those titles that's been floating round for ever.
6:50 am
periwinkle
ty Haz. I liked the movie too
6:50 am
Haz1558
I need to watch it sometime! That's two votes of confidence.
6:51 am
periwinkle
have returned to the gym after over a year so need to get ready. byee
6:52 am
Haz1558
Bye, peri. Don't work too hard in the gym, but do a couple of exercises for me.
6:52 am
Haz1558
Exercise by proxy is still my preferred method.
6:53 am
Scrabbler
Haha, Haz.
6:53 am
Haz1558
Okay, I must head to the kitchen and do my bending and stretching while unloading the dishwasher. Happy babbling to all!
6:53 am
Scrabbler
My sister has an Irishman working on her home doing various repairs. She loves listening to him talk.
6:54 am
bichon
I love the Ulster Scots accent
6:54 am
Haz1558
Does she know what part he's from? The accents vary so much even in short distances.
6:55 am
Scrabbler
I will ask her. She is here visiting me. They are getting their home in shape to sell in several months and he is doing all of the work.
6:55 am
Scrabbler
Hi bichon
6:55 am
Haz1558
Well, bichon, I thank you! It's not an easy accent to copy so we tend to cringe when some people try to imitate it. We have very strange vowels.
6:56 am
bichon
I watched The Fall, a show on NetFlix
6:57 am
Haz1558
Yes, it was mostly set in Belfast, wasn't it? I didn't see it, it all sounded very dark.
6:58 am
bichon
Dark isn't the word for it. Gillian Anderson was in it
6:58 am
Haz1558
Somebody as good looking as Jamie Dornan shouldn't be a serial killer somehow.
6:59 am
Haz1558
I saw trailers for it and just thought it wasn't for me. It has been interesting to see how many films are being made in Northern Ireland - Game of Thrones is another one I've never seen but we have had pilgrimages of people to visit the sites.
7:00 am
Scrabbler
My sister will find out where her Irish guy is from. His last name is Costelloe.
7:02 am
Haz1558
Well, he could be from anywhere with that name. Funnily enough we encountered a lorry driver the other day who was looking for directions. I could hardly understand him because his accent was so thick. Anyway, I hope your sister's worker is doing a good job, it's good to have someone who knows what they're doing.
7:03 am
Scrabbler
She is mostly happy with him--she suspects he overcharges.
7:05 am
Haz1558
I always think it's difficult to know about charges - someone could quote low and do an unsatisfactory job.
7:05 am
Haz1558
You're kind of at their mercy, unless you get a recommendation from someone else.
7:05 am
Scrabbler
It is very difficult to sort out.
7:07 am
Haz1558
Well, I hope it turns out beautifully in the end and they have no problem selling.
7:08 am
Scrabbler
They already have 2 interested people but my sister needs to declutter and have repairs done.
7:10 am
Haz1558
It's good that they have interest already. Decluttered and repaired, that house will have people queueing up to buy. Is she resistant to getting rid of stuff?
7:12 am
Scrabbler
No, she is ready. Their last rabbit died in January, at age 16, so now they will downsize. At one point they had 5 rabbits.
7:13 am
Haz1558
Goodness, that was an elderly, obviously much loved rabbit! It's good that she's ready to tackle the decluttering process.
7:14 am
Scrabbler
He was a well-cared for bunny, given much love and attention.
7:15 am
Haz1558
Okay, I've been threatening to leave for ages. I must go! Good to talk to you, Scrabbler and bichon (and peri). Enjoy the grid and see you again sometime. Bye!
7:17 am
Scrabbler
Bye Haz. Enjoy your day.

Apparently it's a n5/12. I've tried every conceivable combination of that (or so I think!) to no avail.
8:51 am
hokie carla
it's a babblet that trips me up regularly
8:52 am
phaeton
I need a clue for the ni5/12
8:52 am
mael
is it a babblet? I use that word
8:52 am
mael

8:52 am
dauber
OH. Got it!
8:52 am
MLFAN17

9:04 am
hokie carla
there are 2 sets
9:04 am
dauber
Ah, okay, I think I see how that can work.
9:04 am

Tell ya what...the qu10 is one of those words that you didn't realize could exist but does make perfect sense that it does.
9:10 am
dauber
hokie - for a te6, try someone who occupies a building via a lease
9:10 am
amelu0218

Babble grids are full of those words.
9:17 am

9:18 am

Why end with four letters when you can end it, with the same meaning, with two letters?
9:18 am
hokie carla
ru is fancy too
9:18 am
MLFAN17
for the qu 10 do i go up from an N?
9:18 am

9:28 am
hokie carla
kinda like adulting, didn't think the noun could be that way
9:28 am
Uneaixoise
tx ru!!
9:29 am
rururocks
adulting would be a tough word to use I'd think
9:30 am
hokie carla
it's a thing now "adulting today" or "adulting is hard", etc

I bet it's a compound word hokie
2:19 pm
hokie carla
possible, I struggle to see those.
2:20 pm
m9f9l
Even though they are often at eye level ... but then, I'm short.
2:20 pm

everyone was like, it must be some kind of owl, but I took a stab at it, having never heard one, and then confirmed the next day via google.
2:22 pm
m9f9l
15 year old's tent blew over while we were at my niece's wedding and everything got wet...
2:22 pm
moolingwa
yeah, they have a very distinctive call
2:22 pm
hokie carla
yikes
2:23 pm
moolingwa
and night jars are often confused with owls because they're nocturnal
2:23 pm
hokie carla
oh, I have that T6, m.
2:23 pm
m9f9l
I'm looking up whippoorwill on youtube...
2:23 pm
hokie carla
I also just learned nightjar in my research
2:24 pm
m9f9l
I just read "nightjar" on this youtube...
2:24 pm
moolingwa
australia has a really cool one, the Tawny Frogmouth
2:24 pm
m9f9l
Does not sound anything like an owl.
2:24 pm
hokie carla
we heard coyotes one night, but we hear those here
2:24 pm
moolingwa
there's a lot of owls that don't sound like owls :)
2:25 pm
m9f9l
"owls of North America and their Calls" was the next thing to play on youtube! LOL
2:26 pm
m9f9l
Oh yeah, the Boreal Owl sounds more like a different bird to me. I could see someone getting that one mixed up with the whipporwill.
2:26 pm
hokie carla
yeah, that's why they were thinking maybe an owl we didn't know
2:26 pm
moolingwa
We get a lot of great horned owls around here, but they have your classic call
2:27 pm
moolingwa
still looking for the t6?
2:28 pm
moolingwa
rhymes with another 6
2:28 pm
m9f9l
Look in the men's drawer of the dresser for that one hokie. At least I think that's the one
2:28 pm
hokie carla
no, that one I have
2:29 pm
m9f9l
Huh.. I've never heard of the Flammulated Owl. What a great name.
2:29 pm
moolingwa
it's vaguely related
2:29 pm
moolingwa
perhaps you'd use the compound after you've done the first thing with the thing
2:30 pm
m9f9l
ooohhhh.. I have it now.
