hello dear flosey

btw flosey, my SIL, fang, is on her way to canada. would you like to come over here?

1:03 am

I'd love to Rose but we're going to Toronto in June for first grandson's HS grad

1:05 am

I'll stay a month - need time to see all my cousins - hubby will only stay a couple of weeks

1:07 am

well wear your sunglasses at all times. if you see/hear a loud mouthed aussie with bright red hair, head for the hills.

1:08 am

lol, will be on the lookout!!

1:58 am

8 to go but am falling asleep, goodnight all

2:06 am

good morning all

2:11 am

wow, tight grid

2:12 am

good morning my darling sprite {{hugs}} i'm just taking a break from a few chores.

2:12 am

hi sweetie :) *hugs* How was your day? And are you still feeling awesome?

2:12 am

phantom: assort

2:13 am

day was lovely. i'm still coming down a little. but that's okay.

2:13 am

:D So good to hear that.

2:13 am

and you honey? how was your yesterday with the extra pooch? and your night?

2:14 am

night was bad, pooch cannot sleep alone so I had to sleep downstairs. But the rest was good, such a sweet dog!

2:14 am

it's a different sort of feeling lazy. there's no pain, and my mind is quite calm.

2:15 am

lolllllll ok, may I please adjust your view? That is not at all related to feeling lazy. This is what people call *swallow* NORMAL!

2:15 am

i am starting to feel motivated again too. hence doing chores at this latish hour.

2:16 am

that is such a wonderful feeling, darling. Don't overdo it though, ok? Keep pacing yourself, even if you feel great.

2:16 am

roflol... really? i thought i was just being lazy...too long since i felt this way.

2:17 am

ikr! Yes, that is what 'normal' people feel. No pain, a calm mind, motivation to do stuff, no feeling of urgency to finish it before you run out of energy or are in too much pain.

2:17 am

not over doing it, that's for sure. but i am proud to say i have a full drawer of knickers etc again.

2:18 am

I am so happy for you! I know how that feels. It is a great great feeling.

2:18 am

so much a better picture than the one of me, bare-assed, rummaging through a basket of clean washin g trying to find some.

2:19 am

*giggles* ikr!

2:19 am

knickers that is, not an arse...

2:19 am

and....wait for it....are you sitting down?

2:20 am

yeah if you want to find a nice arse, the laudry basket isn't the first place to look. OOOOhoooo Doooohooon!

2:20 am

don folded all his jocks today and put them neatly in his drawer.

2:20 am

ohhhh good man

2:21 am

LOLOLOLLLOL. sprite, he is hard enough to control as it is without drawing attention to my ....ahem....state of undress.

2:21 am

:D

2:22 am

so how long are you dog-sitting for?

2:22 am

it was only 2 days, pooch is back home already.

2:22 am

in about 20 mins my dear friend Dienie comes over for a coffee and a lot of ch4 :)

2:23 am

oh that's good. i know you don't mind but i know it does take a bit out of your energy supply.

2:23 am

oh??? have you told me about her? and how are things with Cobi?

2:23 am

uch yes. I was pooped. Went to bed right after dinner last night. But feeling a bit better now.

2:26 am

with Cobi still a bit tense and distant. I think I must have mentioned Dienie. She is one of my best friends in the world.

2:27 am

i am so sorry about Cobi. how long have you known Dienie?

2:27 am

about 25 years now

2:28 am

and Cobi and I will work it out. She is not at all in a good place, both emotionally and physically. I keep that in mind!

2:29 am

you must have met her at school. did you know that Don and i have been friends for nearly 40 years?

2:31 am

yeah I knew that. Friends first, lovers later. Such a wonderful story. And no, neither is a school friendship. I have a number of those... but they go back even longer. Nizetta is my friend since we were 6. And Myriam and Lann and Fred and Ingmar and Edwin since I was 16.

2:33 am

oh, my sprite. that's amazing. just shows how much a wonderful person you are to have friends like that.

2:33 am

awww what a sweet thing to say! I know that they all are, for sure.

2:34 am

only the truth, my dear, only the truth.

2:34 am

sweetie, I have to go, Dienie will be here any minute now and I want to be downstairs when she arrives. *hugs* and have a great evening, and sleep well.

2:34 am

oh okay. take photos and send, pleeeese. love and hugs and kisses. xoxox

Her style is what a friend of mine refers to as Valium music : D

You UK folks would do well to listen to more of her and less of The Cheeky Girls : P

Thankfully, the Cheeky Girls seem to have died a death (not literally, as far as I know)

Hello, Everybody. I'm just starting out & I don't like this grid....

2:44 pm

Hi Nef. just started and most of the words found I have no idea what they mean

2:46 pm

Same here. I've only found 20 so far & half of them are wild guesses at "words"

2:46 pm

m2

2:51 pm

Maybe this grid is supposed to expand our vocabulary? It certainly is a weird mix of letters today

2:52 pm

(at least I can find a number of 4 letter words! ;-)

2:54 pm

just found uv and have no idea what it is :D

2:54 pm

ah! just learned what it is. cool :D

2:54 pm

(english is not my 1st language so I am definitely expanding my vocabulary here )

2:55 pm

it's a medical term; but I've never heard it before.

2:55 pm

took a look at it @google :D

2:56 pm

(I'm a retired nurse & have never seen or heard it ; then again I never worked in an eye area of nursing)

2:57 pm

Good for you, Farruska. I would have never known that English is a 2nd language for you.

2:58 pm

portuguese over here. english and german as 2nd

3:01 pm

WOW! I have a hard enough time with just English! (I never had a chance to learn a different language when I was young; & now it's much harder to learn as we age

3:04 pm

I lived in Germany for 8 years, so there wasn't much of a choice, had to learn it. Most people will say they can speak English but with most it's hard to maintain a conversation

3:06 pm

I once had to learn basic Catalan because I lived in Barcelona for a couple of months and a member of my team refused to speak in Spanish or English :D

3:07 pm

I live in Minnesota and grew up in the northwest corner of the state. There were old timers that spoke French Canadian, Some that spoke Swedish, and that was about it.It was a very small community (and also a very poor one), so I never had any exposure to any other language.

3:08 pm

Catalan? Is that different from Portugese?

3:09 pm

exposure can also go bad. our kid was born in Germany, was exposed to 7 languages in the Spielgruppe and got all mixed up by 3 :D

3:10 pm

Oh, My1 I can imagine that would make it tough for a kid to learn!

3:10 pm

yup, Catalan is very different from Portuguese and not origin in Spanish . Some words have a resemblance of French

3:12 pm

Wow. The things I don't know about language would fill a library. (and the few things I do know would fit in a thimble! )

3:12 pm

Kid was not learning any language, the most he heard was Portuguese and German. But then the other moms in the international Spielgruppe didn't know enough German so I was doing the translation between the teacher and them. There were a Spanish mom, Brazilian , italian, one greek ... :D

3:13 pm

the things I don't know about the words in today's puzzle would fill my house :D

3:13 pm

LOL!

3:16 pm

I have some friends who are from Iran, their kids are learning Perssian and also Spanish. My grandson has picked up some Spanish & Japanese and also some Hmong from school mates; and he's only in 1st grade!

3:17 pm

yeah, kid's brain plasticity is great for languages the firrst years.

3:18 pm

They didn't even offer Spanish or any other language in my small school...

3:19 pm

our kid wanted to learn english when he was 3 but we kept postponing it because of his difficulties with portuguese. so the little guy started to teach himself using youtube videos :D I had to "make" the school allow him in english classes because he was learning it anyways, so better with a teacher's guidance

3:19 pm

very true. I envy my grandson for what he is learning already.

3:19 pm

time for dinner ! bbl

8:12 pm

i am down to 18....

8:12 pm

Oh sorry, I missed the *** clue.

8:16 pm

Want to go to bed and read soon but a bit difficult because someone is out playing backetball in the dark under my window. Supposed to stop at 9, but they don't lock the door at that time any more. I have had to call security because of people playing at almost midnight. The thumping is bad enough, but the yelling is more annoying. Worse than little kids.

8:16 pm

End of rant...

8:17 pm

bummer...

8:17 pm

I love spring and summer but I wish they had never added a basketball hoop on the tennis courts.

Sounds like fun. Eating lovely spaghetti (just made the sauce with Grant's help) and watching The Matrix (yet again)

9:34 pm

It's very warm here -- summer-warm. :-( tooooooo early

9:34 pm

it's been so long since I watched The Matrix --- probably time to watch again :-)

It's iconic, for sure. So many ground-breaking cinematic bits that we now take for granted.

oooh -- too much, TO (also ((((hugs))))) btw) long time no see

9:39 pm

wow . . . sunny and breezy here

ty stiddy. it is getting on my nerves. each day they say it will clear, then it does not.

9:42 pm

That is frustrating. My frustration is that it's sunny and warm during the teaching week (third graders have trouble focusing when it's too nice outside!), and then drizzly/rainy on the weekend...

9:46 pm
