I see it saying Magic Christmas, Dizgrannie.

Welcome.
Good morning
The chemo appears to be helping albeit with nasty side effects.
ains
sorry
wow, straight in with an9
afternoon all by the way
<love the an9!
Not found it yet - good morning from rainy London!
sitting in sunny southern Israel right now, but got very wet a couple of weeks ago in London
I'm sure I spotted an old man with a long beard building a big boat...
Wish we could send this rain to Australia, where it's needed.
Morning, all.
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
Terrible, terrible heat. A friend of mine has come over here for a month, to escape.
She's from Perth.
34 C was the max today and thankfully no smoke haze today.
Looks like 19 is the high
It must be terrible, Lizlin.
Top temp in Melbourne tomorrow.
It’s not been pleasant. They’ve declared us a drought area but haven’t introduced water restrictions yet but I expect they will
So is it all down to global warming, or is the another reason?
I go with global warming 😢
Weather isn't normal here either
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!
Totally agree.
The damage to the barrier reef is awful. I saw such a difference between 2011 and 2018. So much bleaching.
I weep for the innocent wildlife that is getting wiped out. What have they done to deserve the treatment we humans are dishing out?
Heartbreaking. So much of their habitat has been destroyed over the past few weeks.
BBL
Not even halfway through the grid but got to go now.
good morning I found the st9 by myself but not the an9
and no 8's here yet and I have almost half the words
I've found nothing bigger than a 7
found an 8
lots of adverbs
help with the an9 pls
found the an9
Peri what in the world are you doing up at this hour?
May I have a nudge on that AN9, please?
One who loves chaos
Gotya, thanks!
Hello, Molly, my results are very good. Nasty chemo is helping
I'm so glad to hear that Ruby.
The side effects are unpleasant, but the marker dropped more than half in one month
Sorry it has been so hard on you. Chemotherapy is rough.
thistily
I just can't ch** sorry

No worries Ruby. You are not the only one who posts words in the chat.

Thank you most kindly, Stu!
my pleasure mattty
we're going to see Fairport in Feb , they're touring nationwide
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).
Where are you seeing them?
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 !
We hotel and Uber it ;)
I want a bed, flushing, ensuite toilets and showers. I'm too old also for tents!
You're more sensible than I
Wow, Ru is here too. I am not the only US person up in the wee hours.
last time
oops
I camped in 97 and 2007. Hotel in 2010, 2017 and 2018. I can tell you which I prefer!
Think 2010 was the last one we went too
Fun fact: I'm one week older than Fairport (they were formed a week after I was born)
oh god , I bought Unhalfbricking for my 12th birthday
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)
Blimey , I've seen Tull and Steeleye in the past week - we sound like we have a common interest !

One batch of Grandma's fudge done. Refrigerator oatmeal cookies in the fridge...Taking a break before fixing dinner...
thnx
I love fudge.
87 left here
have made it down to 80
I've been looking for this recipe for years...
Just ask my mom...
I made fudge at Thanksgiving but haven't made any yet for xmas. I have been making dipped candy all week.
only I'm not dipping them this year, I'm using molds.
Dipped candy is an art. I bow down to you...
my friend was like, don't use molds, you have the dipping perfected.
do you dip it in chocolate?
yes
have not made fudge in a long time. have not baked in a long time either.
yum hokie
I usually make orange cream, which I have 2 versions of the recipe from my mom & aunt but I have figured out over the years how to blend them together. I should just write out a new one.
orange cream what?
this year I also made some peanut butter ones and am getting ready to try almond cream ones
orange cream candies
ok never had them
it's like an orange soft filling dipped in chocolate
My dad's mom always made a fudge she just whipped up on Sunday afternoon and we would eat it while watching Disney.
sounds delish
God memories.
Good, even
my mom always made the Fantasy Fudge recipe on the marshmallow creme jar, so I am partial to that. I usually make it but have also subbed butterscotch chips in for chocolate. I also found a white M&M fudge and white cranberry orange fudge that everyone loves.
Yes, my mom always made the fudge with marshmellow creme, but I'm not a fan of that fudge.
down to 80 bbl
that's funny, I can tell when people don't use the marshmallow creme and don't like it.
Mine is all sugary and grainy...Makes your teeth hurt.
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.)
I will try a wooden spoon next time. That's what my recipe called for and I thought, "ah."
:D
well, I must get busy again. BBL for last 78, probably with the list. :)

sorry Molly. i didn't mean to interrupt your session. xox
canabis oil for pain? that's cool if it helps you GR

You can throw some my way too please

Hope you heal up soon, lynxxx. Hi folks.

Molly, if you are here.....do you know why Flosey is not playing any more? Thanks
I don’t know peach. I wrote to her. But got no response
I wrote to her a few months ago
Thanks much, ruru. I hope all is well with her.
Me too. I was hoping her husband might write back
I think one of her daughters had a health problem....hope it isn't related.
They are nice people. I enjoyed meeting them
I always liked talking with her. Wish we knew some-one in the card game they played......after iJillibus passed away, I can't remember her mentioning anyone else, can you?
No i cant
Well, perhaps someone here will contact us.
