thanks, Lickety!
How hot is it getting up in Canada?
have fun, all. I'm coming back tomorrow - xoxo
night mich
we're still in the 90's every day
Yup. It's hot! I'm glad we're down from the 100s. We had a 115 day! that's crazy.
it is a disaster for the farmers and orchardists. Crops are drying up, first cherry crop is lost, some of the apple varieties are sun burned and the water levels in the creeks and lake are at an all time low.
Yikes. That's terrible nan.
I think the vineyards are still ok, but the white wines may not be so good this year

Should I be seeing that midde R? I presume it's an RH?
GM all! Phantom: hamster
Would someone please tell me the stats for the middle R? Please and thank you!
yes matty, it's rh5,16
Thank you! And good morning
sometime vowel is the middle letter, if that helps
Found it, thanks!
yay! How is little Miss Tilly?
Adorable. Just starting to tentatively walk!
She'll be 15 months in just over a week
oh wow
I had an Aunt Tilly!
Yeah, time totally flies.
It's funny how names come and go in and out of fashion! She's a Matilda, technically (called Matilda, Tilda, Tilly and various variations)
yes, my Aunt was a Matilda too. Growing up, I always thought "Tilly" was the cutest name.
I like it - but I'm biased
of course!
It's funny - I wasn't impressed with the name when Sarah told me when she was born and yet it grew on me VERY quickly!
I know another Matilda right now, and we call her "Matty."
Hah! My 'real' name is, of course, not Matty. It's Kate ;)
Oh I wondered! The Matty I know is at my workplace.
My real name is Laurie :)
NOt Frenchy, haha
Matty Groves is a folk song - it's about adultery and murder so....
Matty is in the grid - just as well it's not a word ;)
Oh I didn't know about the song. Tell me, do you know the village called Gerrard's Cross, in Bucks County? I grew up there.
I do (I've not been but I know where it is). I did not realise you grew up in the UK!
Yes my father was in the USNavy. We lived in England and traveled all over Europe, for about 4 years in the 1960s. It was wonderful! I went to school at RAF High Wycombe.
I do know High Wycombe. My daughter went to Birmingham University so when we'd drive up the M40, High Wycombe was sort of halfway there (ish) - where the Red Kites were released (they've spread - we have quite a lot of them here much further south near Windsor)
I stay in touch with one of my friends from High Wycombe, I went to visit her in Florida last year. We were in 6th grade together. So many fun memories! We went to Camp Mohawk, have you heard of it.
No. I suspect there are tons of summer camps called that in the US though!
I married and Englishman (since divorced and traded up to a better model...or at least a different model of Englishman) so my daughter went to British schools, let a British life etc etc etc
She has a British (slightly tinged with Australian now) accent
No, I meant we went to Camp Mohawk when we were in England. I'm not sure where it is exactly, but most US military kids were sent there in the summers.
yeah, I don't know much about the military stuff - I never hung with ex-pats as I married the Englishman so have led a fairly English life. Though I still don't really care about the results of tonight's football (soccer)!
Is that World Cup?
Euros 2020 (postponed from last year)
Oh OK! Glad they are playing again!
England are in the final - the first final of a major international tournament since 1966
exciting!
it's about time haha!
I predict Italy will win 3-1!
traitor Matty.
I think 2-1 to england.
I don't WANT Italy to win, you understand, I just predict they will - England are excellent at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory ;)
They have played exceptionally well this tournament, looking forward to the game tonight.
Fingers crossed!
There will be a few sore heads tomorrow, I reckon, whatever happens
hopefully through celebrating and not drowning sorrows
Indeed!
Cute icon, frog!
Thank you, my home town.
well represents that anyway, the beatles.
Yep! Clever!
Now I have Ferry Cross the Mersey running through my head
that'll stick then.

congrats
Have a good day all, and fingers crossed for tonight!
Good morning.

Hi TNana
Mornin, Molly and Nana
found a few fun words so far - def. slowing down now
Listing for my final dozen gave me a d8 I've never heard of
106 is too few on a rainy day.
Hi, Scrabbler - short but a few toughies
Good morning, IG. What are your plans for today?
good question
work in the yard, I guess
I did some weed-yanking last evening.
storms just moved thru before dawn. A blessing here in July
sped
Free clue.
that d 8 took me some time!
as the dE8 of clue etiquette, you are sent the the PB Scrab
TY, IG. *sprinting to the PB*
that DE is now in my top 10 fav Babble words
you need to use it a lot....I'll be the de of that....lol
Oh, and Hi, Wask
I have 8 left and go to the stage that I cant be bothered now
I plan on using it often in the chat !
hi Ita and Scrab
I get it, waskallia.
I bet
1 7, 3 4, 2 5,2 6
dont see how those 4s eluded me!
of to watch the mens final
bye
Bye
Go England later today!
Forza Italia!
It really doesn't matter to me. A good game with no injuries will be best.
gotta see what time the games on
looks like 12:30 Central time on ESPN
Enjoy.
Bye, Scrab
what game italian?
My country of birth and my heritage would say that soccer (football) should be entertaining to me, but sadly I could never get into it. I tried, I really did. I forget the teams, but I once sat down and watched the first place team play the team that was in last place. The ball went back and forth for ninety minutes, and at the end of it all the score was tied 1-1. The most entertaining thing to me about European soccer is the rabid fans in the stand who destroy each other and everything around them during that 90 minutes.
that is my feeling about soccer as well. highlights reel are so much more efficient.
i could never get into soccer either
hi cross
Howdy MLF :)
hi harry
good morning
i am watching the NASCAR race this afternon
Howdy, harry.
oh my lord.
nascar, imo, even more stultifying than soccer
lol i hear ya harry, some of the races are so boring so sometimes i change the channel to something else for a short period of time
phew...after I typed that I realized it may have been offensive. some folks are pretty loyal nascar fans.
It's okay Harry. You being bored by something shouldn't offend someone. We don't all like everything.
rh clue pls?
i am not offended
now a good GOLF game, that's another story! heehee
See, golf is a sleeping pill for me : D
i dont watch golf that much but my parents play
me too - I'm joking :)
The most bring thing to me would be British dart competitions--they always go something like this: "20....20!!!, and while we wait for the final throw, I can tell you that Reginald Smythe hails from Puddleby-on-the-Wye, and collects antique bar taps and petrified sheep droppings..."
lol true for a lot of people molly
boring*
no fights breaking out at darts games ?
*arrows*
cross do you know what cornhole is?
No fights--too drunk, can hardly see to aim.
Nope, do enlighten, MLF
bean bag toss
ll, I had to ask, because "cornhole" has a decidedly different meaning here. :)
yes - the first time our principal suggested we play "cornhole" at a continuing ed day, I was quite put off
i have been seeing it on tv the past two yrs hadnt sen it at all before
i would rather watch curling even though i dont quite understand it
hagd all. gotta get the kids to their things.
25 here.
nbt
got the fr8
nbt/nbs
ty for fr8
np
The lone R is not too bad once you know there is only one option for the second letter. :)
and the lone E is also easy once you know it is a classic Babblet.
lone e was the my first word
good morning all

It's been so hot here. It was nice to be up for a while in the relative coolness.
i keep wanting to spell that hokie
I hear that ori! The heat is not fun.
ah - just found the ta 7 - my last 7

This is odd: Babble is telling me that spam does not exist in the puzzle.
i only have se 7
me too! It usually says it's not a word.
i have had that issue with different words today
I woke up early to work on a talk...but I'm here instead. But just 3 left, so I will get to that talk after I find those.
morning all!
Hi FT
good morning french

I already walked on the beach this AM, it was gorgeous. I found about 20 pieces of sea glass.
that is so awesome! do you use it to make anything?
Nice! Which beach are you near?
lucky you, FT - you must have been the first on e out
I do a few crafty things, like little Xmas ornaments. But mostly I put it in glass jars or antique bottles and give as gifts.
I am near a few different beaches: Fort Monroe, Buckroe, Oceanview, Va Beach.
cybernan, i was not the first one :)
fw. My last word was de8. Interesting, I did not know that. Will probably never need to know that...
french o that is so cool. i know someone in florida who makes sea glass jewelry
Other side of the country! I'm used to Pacific coast beaches.
yes MLF, those artisans are a dime a dozen.
clue for the de 8 please?
yes I need that de8 pls
i agree i have a pair of earrings with sea glass just white though
I'm not sure if they have a union?
sorry i only have fr8
ty m91 -- a twofer :)
A judge of the Isle of Man

Nice.. you got my cryptic clue.

just need an m and s x2 -- a 4,5 and 6
*s from the middle col

JImmy HOffa's union
m9's clue works just toss it into google.
good clue as well FT
hello...middle R stats pls
but I really wanted the word to be "depatty" lol
ry5/16
NGL, I tried depatty at least 2x
rh*
me 6 please?
crossy is there an H in there
ty
I corrected myself :)
haha hokie
nm monkeyed it
OK gotta run, BBL
I mean, I've known people that do that when they get a burger
Why not? I am sure one can "depatty" a hamburger, no?
bye FT
ty ft
whats the point? no patty...no burger
well, they just eat them separately, or don't eat the bun
Seriously, who eats the bun but not the burger
is it just me or is this a tough little stinker
but that would be to debun
well, you'd still have to depatty to eat the burger. my neighbor when I was a kid used to do it all the time.
*!*~*!* hagd everyone
bye nan
I guess so, phae.
The great conundrum: does one depatty the bun or de-bun the patty
ty6/30?
nm....monkeyed it
thx, looks kinda like the big drums
or a fem. product if you change the vowels
Ngl?
sorry, my son uses that all the time with me - not gonna lie

Carla, you run IOsy on your mac
oh duh ty LA
ah, thanks again, LA
and bea
np i tried every combo of "symp--" first lol
bea, we didn't plant anything in our big deck planters this year but got some volunteers. One tomato, which I knew, but I had to ask on reddit what the other 2 were - sorghum and sunflower.
I guess someone's birdseed made its way here
we also have 3 tomato plants under the deck planter down by the pool ðŸ˜
That happens. I didn't plant any petunias, and they were all over my yard this spring.
I had five volunteer tomatoes come up in the new blueberry bed we put in this spring.
I'm going to pull out the sorghum but will leave the sunflower and see what happens. of course I will leave all the tomatoes. one already has a bloom.
I'm assuming the R is RH, but can't seem to monkey it. what's the stat?
rh5.16
got it, thx
now down to M TT SS SS TT
i couldnt for the life of me figure that one out
ooh, found the bottom 2 T's

ends in Ma and --
well what the hell is that
who knows - I didn't even google it
or were you referring to my clue?
lol
your clue was great
the word itself is so stupid
its medical, apparently
it's a drug that stops ovarian development OR a rocket propellant. Hmmmm. I'd be afraid.
nothing in between those 2 extremes!?
nope
it can do either thing, that is scary!
as todays official DE8 I rule that not a word
oh i thought you just passed that baton to someone
she's not responding - she has corrected me a few times (rightly so)
Are you channeling Julia Child with your initial greeting?

nm
aww, look at molly singing who got the hooch
was camping for a few days...tried playing this on my phone but it was too difficult
yeah, this is best on tablet or computer.
I broke my ipad when we were camping week before last. occasionally I would play on it with a bluetooth keyboard, but yeah, cannot do on a phone.
was glad to see it was a small grid when I got home this aft
it's small but a little nasty
well I have until midnite to figure it out :)
i'm down to 23 more.
and 20. BBL
Hi all. I'm going to try and finish today without listing.

Because it's not a word. Rhythm is though, but it is not in the grid.
no rhythm method?
people of the world unite, strength in numbers we can get it right, one time
just got in from a peace rally hokie?
Janet Jackson lyrics...Hokie is like that
It's Rhythm Nation. She was trying to be relevant. Ho nip slip in that one.
Or no nip slip, although ho would work
