170 here and going to bed soon too
Clues are up
Thanks, Lickety
anyone else find une's sa8? i'm too sleepy to see it i think
thanks Lickety
nope, not I
Nor me.
re 8
sa 7 part of a tree and pl...compound word
Thanks, Diz - good clue
nbt/nbs
ty Liz found the re8
Found by chance - not what I was trying to spell!
yw too
just found ke 5/24 and plural...straight across the grid
Thanks
thanks diz but will have to look up the meaning!! don't believe I've seen it before
its been in before
lol, should have looked it up then, might have remembered!!
please maybe clue re8?
re 8 - produce a really positive feeling.
ahhh got it
Can't think of anything clever to clue
that's good enough for tonight, 38 left and so sleepy!! ttfn
Sleep well.
sw7 if not called

good morning all

Yay, a big grid for a paperless Saturday.
My Times subscription stealthfully expired and I'll be paperless for about a weei.
Morning Sprite and Ruby (and anyone else online).
May I please have stats for the E on the bottom of the last row and the A just above it?
*hugs matty* Good morning to you! How've you been?
Good morning Matty
Good morning Matty
I'm well - been working. It's a bank holiday weekend - woop!
enow
So we have Monday off.
bottom E: et4/4
And the weather is, for a change, lovely
sorry
How's everyone over there?
the A above it is ah5/14
Oh, duh. Slap with a wet fish
had to check, lol, to see which word comes from which tile.
For both of those
Clearly still morning blind
*hits matty over the he4 with a tiny guppy*
Thank you!
nbt, but still no 7s or 8s
I am fine, mostly. Bit of a stress situation with my sister and father and a party. But everthing else is good. Or at least manageable, grin.
Sorry about the stressy party situation. Family can be difficult *hugs*
re7/48 made into firewood again re8/40 sound reverberating
I love my sister. For the rest, my family is the one I chose: my friends. And my beloved and children, of course, and their friends. Happy household here.
That's a good way of looking at things
it is easy to be grateful for all the good things in life if you are just willing to pay attention to them, isn't it? Focusing on what is not good is so not helpful.
No. And so many people focus on what's wrong, rather than how to fix them and how to self-car
self-care, that should read
so true. Many people prefer complaining over trying to fix things or making them manageable. Self-care is important!
Found the 7 - thank you (and a whole bunch besides riffing off that) but not yet that 8
it is a bit clumsy clue, I am sorry. Think of a big room where sound really rings.
Yay - found it - thanks!
yvw!
We're off to Faro in Portugal on 9 September, which will be nice
oh how lovely! Portugal is beautiful and the weather should be just perfect by then.
That's what I'm hoping. Oh, and next weekend we've another folk festival (we went to Cropredy a couple of weeks ago which was sooo much fun) - these are birthday pressies from my 50th back in May
I hope you'll have a terrific time. You deserve it :)
We are holidaying in Quinta do Lago just west of Faro - it's glorious
Ooooh, lovely - when are you off, Alleyn?
awesome pressies, btw. My beloved and I got tickets for the Lion King musical next week. Our neighbours won them in a lottery, but they cannot go and they also have already seen it, so they gifted them to us!
wow Alleyn, that is great.
Oh fantastic!
Here until 15th September
Ah - we'll wave hello - we're off to Faro on the 9th and back a week later
Staying in an Airbnb - first time I've booked one
you could meet up, if you want to :)
what is an airbnb?
It's where people hire out either rooms in their homes or their entire home - it's an alternative to a hotel
sounds good. How do you like it, Alleyn?
fireflies. A very nice grid.
Off to the beach - back later. We love The Algarve - have four weeks in a fractional freehold - lucky us
lovely! *hugs* to matty and Alleyn, and to ro4 if she logs on later. Have a blessed day and a peaceful night :)
I've come to a bit of a halt with 133 left. Brain's clearly not working
Have a great day, Sprite
First run through and have 87 left.
zzoozz? mY FIRSTY RUN THROUGH AND L HAVE 89 LEFT; lol
Sorry for shoutting
Nice one, Ruby!
I now have 54 left but it is slow going.
I hope your weather is as beeautiful as here!
my first run and I have 83
Hello, Kallia :-)
hello Ruby and zooz, hope you both are well
OK, you're both smarter LOL
nope, we are all smart!!!
It is not too bad, Ruby. Sunny and warm!
*Writes numbers on the score board
good here too
Hello Molly
lol Molly
i am okay, Kallia. Hope you are well?
Hello, Molly :-)
and good morning? to you
We need Molly to keep score -- of everything!
It is early morning here. Just me and the birds (and one rabbit)
am off out going studio crawling soon
Hope you have fun then, Kallia!
Sounds nice, Molly!
I was supposed to have a fasting blood test, but the nurse didn't show up
Not sure what studio crawling is though.
should do zooz, picked different ones this year
She's very unreliable but gives a great shot!
open studios for artists:)
Ah I see!
Is studio crawling different from gallery-hopping?
Sorry to hear that, Ruby. Hope she turns up soon for you.
lovely and peaceful Molly...we have a load of doves that seemdetermined to wake me atsunrise lol
Too late for fasting....
yes a bit, its one artist at a time...
I remember have a blood test and the nurse hit a nerve in my arm. It was like an electric shock everytime I tried to move my arm.
different typesof artist,fibre,painting, ceremics..all sorts
The nurses here are mostly very skillful
What material do you work with, Kallia?
Only one gallery in my village and it has awful, vulgar art.
textile mainly these days zooz
Vulgar as in ugly or rude, Ruby?
I think it's for tourists (or my wealthy fat neighbor who buys the horrible acrylic sculptures)
Ugly, crude and the scultures are nasty
Ah yes I remember quite a while ago now you were discussing this with another babbler who does the same as you, Kallia.
<-- art snob
lol
lol I dont remember that zooz...your memory is good:)
zzooz and Molly are the babble historians
Not sure if I have a good memory or if my life is crap and nothing else happens in it so I remember these things LOL
life can never be crap zooz...its so much better than the alternative
hahah (or not....)
Kalia, l tell myself that every day when l'm feeling down
doesit help?
a little
Well I will agree to dis-agree with you there, Kallia but I will not bring you great people down with any more talk of that :-)
when I'm down I goand fold fabric...lol....or dye it...
zzooz, l think you and l are in similar boatys, and you are much more than a boat ride away!
I am rowing furiously, Ruby LOL
Sounds nice and relaxing, Kallia!
a boatrideaway fromme :)
Like Gendry (Game of Thrones reference)
James Martin (cookeryprogramme) was inAnnecy a couple of weeks ago Ruby....was thinking of you
hello Matty
Glad you said that. I would be wondering what Gendry was/is
Kalia, you would love my studio -- full of lace, old fabric, artwork, antiques, every possible color of yarn, beads, books, old photgraphs and more!!!
I keep meaning to watch game of thrones but have never gotten round to it.
Morning all!
dontwatch GOT
oh yes I wouldindeed Ruby...oldlace is fabulous
Hello, Matty :-)
and unfinished pprojects
we all have those Ruby
Ruby, your studio sounds amazing. I'm still hoping you get your bench done.
Not getting very far here. Still have 52 left. Think I will go and grab something to eat. Nice to see you all. Have a great day/evening.
My late husband was always trying to encourage me: gave me a lovely piano - a year of lessons and l quit; a sewing machine - never used; and the bench!!! It is visible from the studio, currounded by bags and bags of broken blue and white pottery and glass
my friend is here so I amoff too. Have agreat day all
I need someone to crack the whip!
May I have a nudge on the KE5/6 combo (assuming it's a combo)?
Ruby, you should hire someone to finish that bench. Really.
Unless Gaudi's spirit is lurking, l don't think anybody could do it
There must be some starving artist in France who could manage it. : )
And, speaking of ghosts, l badly need a ghost-writer while l still remember stuff
Matty, Mans name + vowel and consonant thenplural.
Poof*
I think it is so important to write the story of your life. It's your story, you are the only one who can write it.
Thanks zooz - Ks killed
A tropical plant of Persia. How could anyone miss that?

Is anyone here?
hi ruby
Hi pen
208 this morning, but stuck now
How are you?
fine, thanks...how are you doing?
My newspaper subscription had lapsed and they sent me 4 papers in today's mail
lots to read then... ;o)
happy, it's my life line
talked to a 14 year old girl yesterday who hates to read....i felt sorry for her...
that's sad; she probaably "reads" her phone
yes...
and can't spell
are you old enough to remember spelling bees?
oh yes....i won at my school when i was in 8th grade...
... in Ontario the results of the high school literacy test came out last week and the ministry of education is all happy that 81% of high school sophomores successfully passed the test ... ... of course ... to old cynic me ... that indicates that 19% of high school sophomores are illiterate
yes, it's sad....
l'll bet that illiteracynumber is higher in someparts of the US
hello all
hi MLF....
... wouldn't doubt it ... but elderly me thinks it's shameful either way
hi fan
hi pen
amen
hi ruby.. are the newspapers you got for the same week or month?
4th column e?
I started to learn French when l was 11 and because the class didn't include speaking, l learned to listen and write it. My Friends here say that my spelling is more accurate than ttheirs
e4/4 ... greek letter
They sent Mon - Thurs
ruby wow you can talk to people now about what they hae to look forward to in the news then lol
dose e what?
may I pls have stats for the singleton A and for an 8?
et
hahah
ty dose
ah5/14
... but sorry about the 8
thank you
dose, how often do you have checkups. Mine are now every 3months! l'm afraid all the scans are a c&ncer risk....LOL
... I've been down to once a year for six years now ... and they switch to ultrasounds three years ago
... but I had CT scans every three months then six months for about six years ...
I get antsy with every blood test and scan
ahd Sept is coming....
... must admit blood tests are just something that you do ... as long as the person taking the sample is reasonably skilled it's just an annoying time taker ... ...
r8?
re
I don't mind having blood drawn as the nurse comes to the house but I obsess over the results
... for a CT scan ... it's going to depend upon what cancer you had and where they're scanning and for how long they scan and how powerfully they scan ... I'd suggest you just mention your concern to you physician or oncologist
... can't worry about results ... insanity lies down that road
The problem is that they've change my oncologist 4 times since it came back but now I've insisted on the chef de service but she's uninterested
... my father had leukemia for ten years and my mother ... who was completely nuts already ... drove every one insane going over the numbers ... as if she had the foggiest idea of what they meant
... talk to the young assistant resident that
that
Forme, it's been 27 yearss but it didn't come back until 23 yrs aftermy Miami doctor said l was cured!
... that's working with her ... knows just as much from a theoretical perspective and is trying to demonstrate that they've got patient awareness
re8?
It has certainly expanded my knowledge of French...
.... my medical opinion which is worth precisely nothing ... you were "cured" ... but that doesn't mean you can't develop it again ... I'm assuming it is one of the genetic forms so the triggers just got set off again ... unfortunately ... it happens as you age ... ... I'm at four times and I'm only 67
re8/40 strike a cord with
... there aren't that many pieces left to cut out
Luckily (so that say), it's the same type, no surgicalpossibilties but "treatable"
I'l 74, so hopefully it won't go fast
l'm*
Back in the day, l was a good typist....
... then you treat it ... and it goes away or shrinks or stops growing ... and you enjoy your garden and your dog and you kid(s) for a while longer
Especially the dogs!
fan, did you get my clue?
... back in the day you had a bigger key board and it wouldn't let you hit the keys so rapidly and it mattered because you couldn't correct it by backspacing
I understand the clue but not in terms of an re word.?
and l didn't type lying down
MLF...the sound re 8ed throughout the canyon....
re8 zig zags from top left

I don't recall seeing that one before. But I don't retain words that mean nothing to me.
Especially monetary units of Ghana.
now you cedi now you don't
I got the Mexican one....lol
The Mexican one has more relevance than monetary units of Ghana.
Sort of, I've never been to Mexico, but I have had a re-fueling stop in Ghana. My ignorance didn't cause a problem.
Yippee
