hello

shalom, ARB! I had been thinking about you. How are you doing?
OK. Wearing a mask and gloves. Keeping my distance from other people. Reading a lot.
I hear you. I'm sheltering solo. Learning the Berg piano sonata, since I certainly have the time. I'm all the way up to measure 20, 1 page out of 9. Then I turn the page and the tough stuff starts.
Of all things, I got started on this listening to a daily live feed by Russ Kassoff, an amazing jazz pianist who also has classical chops. He worked with Frank Sinatra for years, and is a friend of a friend.
It's a lesson to learn -- to depend upon yourself for diversion, entertainment.
I do OK on my own. The Steinway and my bike are my joy machines. I take a lot of solo rides. I also cook every day. I eat two good meals aday, and am even losing weight.
I am very protective of my husband -- his immune system has been compromised. I am VERY VERY tired of cooking!
Oh, my! How worrisome! I hope you both stay well and safe.

sorry
oops! I'm going to hit the hay. My son and I saw a sunset tonight, only the third time we've done something together in over two months. He left his phone in my car and I have to get it to him in the morning. So glad I dropped in on Babble. Wonderful to catch up with you. I miss TLV to this day. Besos & shalom.
[poof!]
shame. So close to t4oise!
*Overlooks the partial PB infraction
is that 1 leg in and 1 leg out?
Friendly little grid today.
Hello Bea. The rain is here. Just in time for the long weekend. : (
I'm sorry.
There is this strange ball of light in the sky here.
Eh, it's not like it's going to ruin the pool. And my patio is covered, so we can still cook out.
Oh nice. Are people doing happy sun dances?
Well, Mr. Bea just asked me too close the drapes as it is too bright...silly man...
Most of the time, I don't understand the y-chromos
Afternoon all!
Hey, Matty.
Hi Gramatty
I love it! I had my birthday yesterday - Matilda send me a lovely bunch of fliers (with help from her parents...and dog, apparently)
Happy Belated Birthday!
Aw...hope you enjoyed your birthday
phantom: ionize
I did, thank you. Flowers. Sarah sent me flowers. Not fliers.
Happy belated birthday!!!
Thank you!
Brings in massive birthday cake to the chat
Morning, ru.
I'm not seeing that TO7 and 8. Am I being stupid (what I@m really asking is are they words in relatively common usage, or should I just set monkeys free)?
Thanks Ru - it's delicious!
I'm heading out. See you all tomorrow.
Um, it would go with your cake Matty
Bye Bea

Found it (with a little help from Google). Thanks! I wasn't familiar with it, but it does look tasty

hi again
howdy
ooh, my missing 7 was one of my favorite girl scout cookies (when I could eat them)
chocolate mint?
vanilla filled? chocolate? - didn't know they made another kind
they have quite a few different ones. these are shortbread.
we only ever see 3 kinds
missing one 7 - don't know what it begins with though
there are 2 different bakeries in US so the names are regional, but here we have samoas, thin mints, tagalongs, dosidos, tr7s. that's all I can think of but there are more.
we only get the christie's ones
have the tr 7 so that's not the one I'm missing
o7 or f7
how fitting that my last word was fi5
c'est f5
don't have an o 7 -- something that isn't on?

one who of5s
in this case, a girl scout :)

phantom: tonsil

Hi TO and all. I will not comment on the quality of the chat typing whilst eating the snack food. Here in the Center of the Known Universe, Western Washington State, we are simply enjoying the sunshine and blue skies. No snacks.
Hi stidgmere -- all the family ok?

So good to see so many folks on the chat log today. I have taken up the game to buoy my spirits during this quiet time.

i need to get up and clean these glasses. bbs
is there a longer A word based on the ae4?
He thinks once a person reaches 80 the birthday means subtraction. In no time he will reach the retirement age of 75.
I need to be on my way -- hagd everyone, stay safe and avoid holiday crowds. :)

A big long weekend with not much to do, considering the stay away thing. Maybe the Babble Gods will lay a big grid on us.
i hope so....don't like small grids much and I have no plans for the weekend other than doing some laundry...
Well, here's to a big grid tomorrow for people to forget their quarantine blues in.
heading out....goodnight all....
Bye Pen, waves to the constant lurkers
Good morning all - not really lurking.
Hello, Liz!
Hi Phan.

A nice but small grid. Only difficult word for me was that to 7/8. Loads of clues in the chat but it was a new word for me. Good guess work around the Italian clues.
Any clues needed?

Or+ brand of car ***San
