It was my dyslexic other half who sent me here, and has probably since regretted it, the amount of times he's downloaded the grid on his phone for me and written it down so I can play on paper when we're in offline places and he's had to take his phone to some weird places to get a reception. He spotted it in mentioned The Mail on Sunday You magazine's techy setion

Sorry about unfinished post- I was in the middle of making it when the flip happened.
no prob, i didn't see the beginning though

The end of the post would have said he spotted it about a year before and it took me about 3 months to take a look and then I played anonymously for a while before my 'official' start date as Jacula.

I think, as a group, we could get more interest in babble right now, with the interest in, um, word games that's raging online....
Yes, justafreep.
We should all tell our friends to check it out!

It should be pretty nice weather in April

Midas, Arthur..
Priam, good morning everyone!

Priam?

hi scrabbler, king of Troy
Mythology is a huge gap in my knowledge base.
only for classics nerds :)
JBV, I haven't seen you here in a long time. How are you?
used to be my summer project to reread the epics -
fine, thank god, no problems, lots of time at home to catch up on reading the classics
I have never read them.
there's a new translation of the ODyssey - i highly recommend it, very readable and enjoyable,
the Iliad is one of my favorite books
read the illiad ages ago, i remember there were a lot of lists of things
and has been since I was a little kid
the translator is Emily Wilson
the creator, and both of the art forms are in the grid
'morning, babblers
Hi welki.
Have you read the classics, welki?
i tried, but failed at every attempt
Some topics are too difficult for my brain to grasp. Shakespeare too. I accept my weaknesses.

up4
up 4/7
eech, should have seen that one, thx for the clue
I like reading because it is an enjoyable experience. I have to work too hard when I attempt to read the classics.
I feel that it depends greatly on the translation
some are wonderful and some are really tedious
Phantoms. Parietal and doppler. As a midwife Im struggling to see past them.

i am anti-coffee but i am very pr6
then make an adj
ty hurshy
I have never encountered someone with such a bitter hatred of coffee before
haha "bitter" hatred, good one
certainly wouldn't bother me if coffee disappeared from the planet. I like coffee flavoured chocolates but that is about it.
I can see not liking the taste of something, but hating it and wishing it gone from the planet seems a little extreme
that isn't what I said -- I said I wouldn't miss it
I like both coffee and tea
help with either 8 please. I see there is an re8 but I have not found it
I can't drink coffee anymore and I miss it truly
re8 is one who re5's a payment

Oops just got it. Sorry. Guess i didnt type right before.
Ty
Some of them leaf well enough alone
Cute.
hmm my puns are Phylla on deaf ears
Any clues for the i word fourth column i? Two words but not seeing them.
I love the puns! I am enjoying them so keep em comin!
they probably aren't barking up the wrong tree like me
well at least you went out on a limb for it
Love it. Keep em comin’!
I think that is called branching out
and don't arbor any doubts about it
*bowing to the hedge punster
Ty for a chuckle
I'm usually beating around the bush somehow nan
ummm - not going to touch that one!
you're a budding punner yourself now
Wow. Great punsters you two.
that's the fun thing about the chat punsters sprout up almost daily around here
Cute
ruru i thought you were canadian for some reason. Where in the u.s. do you live?
I live in Napa Valley MKG the wine country in California
and I live in the Okanagan Valley, the wine region in BC
saanich and Ori and I were talking about visiting up there next year nan.. we'd love to take you and your hubs to lunch or dinner or something
which reminds me -- we should have some great ice wines this year, ru -- temp took a sudden drop to -12 in December.
oooh.. perfect conditions
that sounds great ru -- we would enjoy that.
* that is assuming the forest fire smoke didn't hurt the grapes.
We'll figure out where best to stay and then research some great restaurants. I'm interested in visiting that region.
I can write it off too :D
are you thinking Air BNB in a central location or a hotel(s)?
maybe a big house.. we're doing that in Qualicum this year
this is a pretty popular area in the summer - don't wait too long before booking something
we're staying at a hotel in Tofino and then going to Qualicum to see bugsaw and I'm taking a kayak lesson and we're hanging out on the ocean on that side
i'm aware of that nan.. I'd lock something up more than a year in advance
I have booked tickets to Australia!
oh wow.. fantastic matty.. I'm happy for you
13 April - 3 May (arrive home 4 May). So excited!
fantastic, matty - that is one trip we never got around to making.
I will be there when Matilda turns two and, of course, for the new grandson, due end of March
that is doubly exciting then
that's really fantastic..
we should invite Zooz to come and get some sunshine in Canada too
haven't seen him for about 3 days - do you know how he is doing?
I don't ... but I hope he's fine. I think he's really rethinking things and trying to get good help.
I'm really happy things didn't go south with him and it worked out. The response from Babble was amazing. Everyone likes him here
I'm really tired of the grid.
lol bea
i felt the exact same way.. i got down to 32 and then froze

Need help with the 9 please
interesting...
hello all....
aj....where college students live....
9 is college housing
If you are still here ru -- we live in Kelowna
Thanks, American word
I think I have a friend that lives in Kelowna
There are around 150 people living in Kelowna and suburbs, so that is quite possible, Bea
*150 thousand
How far to Grand Rapids?
hah...was wondering how a town of 150 could have suburbs....
in Michigan? probably a couple of thousand miles
No, in BC?
didn't know we had a Grand Rapids -- Grand Forks maybe?
Grand Forks. Sorry.
208 km -- about 2.5 hours driving time in good weather (mountain roads and all)
I was wrong - 150,000 in Kelowna proper -- 222,000 in the metropolitan area -- 3rd largest in BC after Vancouver and Victoria
my town has 7500... ;o)
lucky you -- that's what Kelowna was when I was a kid. Then someone had the bright idea to build super highways and an airport......
and a ski resort and golf courses
ah yes....development....
on my way - hagd everyone :)
bye nan....
Clue for the pr7.32, please.
That would be the first one.
i only have one and it's just an extension of the pr 6/21....
This one has to be a before word.
figured that....don't have it...
istart with pr and two vowels....
and it's not a before word...
Thanks, pen.
yw...

im tired, and had a sh*t day, so I'm a bit grid locked
hey, no excuses necessary -- i get a lot of fish myself
being a new england gal, I love fish. Everything from the sea, actually. Except raw oysters. Ick
i like most seafood, except scallops, but haven't tried oysters
oooh, I made coquilles st jacques for dinner on friday, and they were YUMMY. I will happily eat ALL your scallops
had lobster once, and seriously, shat's the bug deal? had to put so much butter on it to make it edible, might as well just have regular old fish LOL
oops, what's, not shat's !!
what's the big deal (oy)
you can have all the scallops
Oh, I LOVE me some lobster! Or, as my daughter once said, "Daddy got a hamster!"
running off now, see yas (hamster LOL)
