1:47 am
sandyloo

no grapes tho , they are too much work
1:47 am
flosey

great, hard work but nothing like a meal freshly picked
1:48 am
sandyloo

Glad you liked it here Glantarell , I do like Sydney and I also like tasmania and queensland
1:49 am
sandyloo

it looks like a quarry at the moment with all the dirt they are shifting around
1:49 am
flosey

hubby retired and became a farmer - have an old orchard and he has also planted a lot more
1:49 am
sandyloo

I think growing edibles is very rewarding
1:50 am
flosey

indeed it is sandy, just read your bio, lots of hard word but you're still young enough to enjoy it
1:50 am
flosey

do you ride the horses?
1:51 am
sandyloo

LOL I feel so old lately - I have to go and try to trim my daughter's horse this afternoon = HA I am sooooo old -I find that really hard as I am definitely no farrier
1:52 am
sandyloo

Yes flo I do ride but the ground gets further away each year - do you have a few acres?
1:52 am

sandyloo

1:55 am
sandyloo

We have 66 here
1:56 am
flosey

all depends on where you are - we've had a very mild winter here on the lower west coast, parts of Ontario have had heavy snow, I hear - our 2 sons are still in Ontario
1:57 am
sandyloo

I believe there is a big storm coming to new york - I dream of snow it is hot here
1:57 am
flosey

only had a smattering of snow that didn't last
1:57 am
flosey

Lizlin

Around 27 c today
2:03 am
Lizlin

It's cooled down since then

Lizlin

Lived near Barnet which is in Hertfordshire.
2:07 am
sandyloo

I love England it is so picturesque and the weather is great - cool and rainy!
2:08 am
sandyloo

The wedding was at a place called Leez Priory
2:08 am
Lizlin

Have to say I don't miss the weather but I do miss friends and family.
2:08 am
Lizlin

Not a place I know!
2:09 am
sandyloo

My daughter and her husband live here so that's why we had the wedding over there - but I would miss my family too
2:10 am
Lizlin

My hubby's an Aussie and it was the right time for us to make the move. No regrets!
2:11 am
sandyloo

I'm glad for you, Aus is great too and I love Queensland - my sister in law lives in Malaney

sandyloo - are you still here? It's nice to see you again, it's been a long time.
2:29 am
sandyloo

Hi haz, great to see you too!! so nice that there are still some oldies here
2:29 am
sandyloo

I have been busy and we have shifted to a farm in margaret river
2:29 am
Haz1558

Not so much of the old! Yes, still some of us around. When was the last time you babbled?
2:31 am
sandyloo

Not for ages!! I was wasting toomuch time but now I will have a bit more time so I decided to reenter the world of cyber space and besides , I missed you all
2:31 am
Haz1558

How's your daughter? She was having problems with her shoulder.
2:32 am
sandyloo

she still is Haz, she has had a fusion done and it is marginally better - she is not going up tot he hospital with a dislocation allthetime- she still says it is painful but not so much i'm sure
2:33 am
sandyloo

Nice of you to remember
2:33 am
Haz1558

I'm glad some progress has been made even if it's not perfect.
2:33 am
Haz1558

I remember your fights with the rooster as well!
2:34 am
sandyloo

I think shoulder joints are the most difficult to repair and we dont have any roosters at the moment because we have only moved to this farm not long ago and are in the processes of building everything
2:35 am
sandyloo

those roosters were the pits
2:35 am
Haz1558

Nobody could accuse you of doing things the easy way, that's for sure. Have you a timeframe for the place being habitable?
2:37 am
sandyloo

LOL we are building , first a shed, then two chalets and then much later down the track a big house- however the chalets will be ready this year and hopefully the shed will be done by march
2:38 am
sandyloo

our youngest daughter and her new husband have gone halves in the property- it is 66 acres and so there is a lot of work to be done
2:38 am
sandyloo

She got married in England last year and we all went over for a gorgeous wedding
2:39 am
Haz1558

I hope all goes smoothly but from what I've seen of 'Grand Designs' building is always a bit of a lottery. I suppose it adds to the excitement.
2:39 am
Haz1558

Goodness, that's a long trip for a wedding but I'm sure it was worth it!
2:39 am
Haz1558

We had a daughter married in August 2011 but it was just up the road.
2:40 am
sandyloo

At the moment it is like a quarry while they move the earth around, - they are living here so we decided to have the wedding there and it was fantastic
2:40 am
sandyloo

it was at Leez Priory in Hertfordshire you can google it
2:40 am
Haz1558

Googling....
2:41 am
sandyloo

They had the works- fireworks and everything
2:41 am
Haz1558

It's GORGEOUS!
2:42 am
sandyloo

It was amazing! a 14th century building and they did a great job of the wedding with fantastic food - it was truly amazing
2:43 am
Haz1558

I'm glad that it was such a good experience for you - very happy memories, I'm sure.
2:44 am
sandyloo

It was greatand allthe kids got to go to england and we also went to
2:44 am
sandyloo

Spainfor a week
2:45 am
Haz1558

Had you been to Europe before?
2:46 am
sandyloo

Yes, we went to England in 2011 (lots of travel in the last 2 years) we drove to Scotland Wales and all around England it was great! I love haggis and black pudding
2:46 am
sandyloo

We also went to Paris for a few days
2:47 am
sandyloo

Now of course we are poverty stricken
2:47 am
Haz1558

Travelling isn't cheap, that's for sure.
2:48 am
sandyloo

Neither are weddings
2:48 am
Haz1558

Did you make it to Edinburgh? I have a soft spot for it.
2:49 am
sandyloo

Yes we loved Edinburgh and we stayed in a beautiful B&B there- I loved the hillyness of it (if there is such a word!
2:50 am
sandyloo

I loved everywhere and I loved the weather- we were there in May and it was just like our winter
2:50 am
Haz1558

I was at university in Edinburgh and met my husband there, but even apart from that it's just a beautiful city.
2:50 am
sandyloo

It sure is! There is a lot of beauty in the whole of the UK
2:51 am
Haz1558

Yes, May can often be better than later on in our summer.
2:51 am
Haz1558

Well, you'll know that there's even more to explore when you come again.
2:52 am
sandyloo

I just loved the whole trip - I loved the history of the place- We would never run out of places to see
2:53 am
Haz1558

I think we take an awful lot for granted and it's only when visitors come that you realise just how beautiful and historic it is.
2:54 am
sarah6girls

morning :)
2:54 am
Haz1558

Good morning, sarah.
2:54 am
sandyloo

Australia is lovely but it does not have the history- it made me feel how young our country is. hi sarah
2:55 am
Haz1558

sandyloo, I don't know if you've kept in touch with babblers by e-mail? I'm wondering if you knew that FMitch is no longer with us.
2:56 am
sandyloo

What do you mean? I don't know about this
2:57 am
Haz1558

FMitch was very ill and died in November 2011.
2:57 am
sandyloo

Oh that is soo sad, how old was she? That is really sad.
2:58 am
Haz1558

She was 52 when she died. She needed a liver transplant but died before it could happen. It was terribly sad and I miss her so much as we were in contact by e-mail a lot and then by phone when she was in hospital.
3:00 am
sandyloo

I remember her well of course - That is so terrible- it is sad that people don't donate their organs more- I always tell my kids that I want to donate no matter how sad they are! 52 is way too young!
3:02 am
sandyloo

Last I was here was about the time when we were sending the chicken soup to the girl who lost her husband and about the time of the scandalous JC
3:03 am
Haz1558

He continues to cause waves every now and again, even quite recently. Or maybe I should say that waves are caused on his behalf.
3:04 am
Haz1558

You've got a bit of catching up to do!
3:04 am
sandyloo

I must say that all scandal aside, I enjoyed the banter that went on in the chat and I will have some catching up to do
3:05 am
Haz1558

To be honest, there's a lot less banter than there used to be. Chat just isn't the same.
3:05 am
Jacula

Morning all. Welcome back sandy.

3:10 am
Jacula

Sandy - I'm glad your travels went well. I'm afraid I'm going to have to head off now, too. Need to get my shopping list done and go to shops before the snow that's falling causes road chaos and panic buying. :-)

6:53 am
sandyloo

summer is hot here but winter has a lot of charm! that's what i think anyway
6:54 am
sandyloo

I love the climate in England but I have never lived there and never experienced the snow
6:56 am
zoozzoom

Snow is nice to look at..even be in for a short while..but for me the novelty soon wears off..lol
6:57 am
sandyloo

and believe me zooz , the novelty of sunshine soon wears off when it is 42degrees c
6:58 am
sandyloo

but Aus is a lovely place to live - great food and great beaches but Enlgland is beautiful too
6:58 am
zoozzoom

Yes i can imagine it does..especially if you cannot cool down.
6:59 am
sandyloo

that is for sure, you can run naked around the paddock but you will still never be cool - you can always put on extra clothes and be warm!!

Hello, Hurshy.

7:02 am

7:19 am

But now we are politically correct and name our hurricanes with male and female names. *Snickers*

Names like Nemo. Big advancement
12:31 pm

the National Weather Service does name hurricanes and I think they may have given this storm a name when it officially became a blizzard

i don't see why there is such a big thing about it, as we eat cows and other animals and i know they are saying that horses get given a drug which can cause cancer to us but it is also said that cows milk also causes breast cancer,so do we stop eating meat altogether?

The weather is cold and clear, now. But we had almost two feet of snow overnight last night.
8:26 pm

We had 30" here in CT. Road still not plowed

Ruru is clearly Duke of Pundom.
8:27 pm

Sorry, but Archbishop Of Crabbytown is already taken.
8:27 pm
rururocks

guess that's better than Duke of Pudnom

Or maybe that should be Duke of Pundomonium

We do not have a snow blower.

And a snow blower doesn't help with walks with steps on them, and things like that.
8:30 pm
MollyL

What a good idea, co-oping the snow blower.
8:31 pm
bichon

And it doesn't work on all types of snow, like hard icy stuf
8:31 pm
wht

The place where the snow blower is most useful is getting through the piles left by the snowplows.
8:32 pm
bichon

Hoping someone with a snow blower takes pity on us
8:33 pm
wht

A number of years ago our neighbor, who is now 95 said that he would buy us a snowblower if we would clean his driveway. We said now, but that we would split the cost of the snow blower and clean his driveway.
8:33 pm
wht

We mentioned this to a neighbor and they said they wanted in on the deal and by the time we were done, we had 6 familys involved.
8:35 pm

can't you just have Marion Berry come over.. or Keith RIchards?

All of those people are under 14

ah
8:37 pm
wht

We got a robo-call from the town. They said that all the streets are passable but starting tomorrow morning they are going to start widening the streets.
8:38 pm
MollyL

"Passable" is a relative term in two feet of snow.
8:38 pm
bichon

We have had no plowage at all.
8:38 pm
wht

This is good. Our street is cleared only wide enough for one car to pass. I think I shovelled 10 feet from the street before I hit the driveway.
8:38 pm

I have made a new word: nublet. However, enable doesn't care to accept it. bummer.

8:39 pm

I like it Champ.

what would nublet mean?
8:39 pm

Central CT. Some towns have plowed, some not.
8:39 pm

8:39 pm

Late this afternoon a couple of cars came down our street, so we figured the travel ban had been lifted.
8:40 pm

They showed Milford in the news tonight. It had 38 inches. Did you have that much as well?
8:41 pm
ChampFit

I think it's a cross between a niblet and a nub, so maybe nugget-like?
8:41 pm
Dorens

wht, my sister in arlington hasn't answered her phone. Think i can assume she's still alive? how much did you have?
8:41 pm
MollyL

Not sure Ru. But once in college, my roommate was reading to me from a romance novel (and laughing her ass off) and lost it when she came to the part about "her tense nubbin".
8:41 pm
ChampFit

But smaller, definitely smaller.
8:41 pm
bichon

We had at least 30" I used a yardstick to measure. Of course the drifting against our garage door was much higher than that.
8:41 pm
wht

We had about 2 feet.
8:42 pm
bichon

Just looked at the Hartford Courant site and some towns won't have roads passable til Monday.
8:42 pm
ChampFit

And I don't mean to discount your snow storm bichon...my sis-in-law in Boston had a ton.
8:42 pm
Dorens

i only have about 15 inches. Normally that would seem a lot, but not this time
8:43 pm
bichon

I'm happy to have power, Tv and internet. We dug out part of the driveway and the fluffs can runn around free
8:43 pm
MollyL

<---Thinks 15 inches is more than enough
8:43 pm
ChampFit

Ditto. Awesome that you aren't disconnected or uncomfortable bichon!
8:44 pm
wht

We also felt that we were fortunate in that we didn't loose power.
8:44 pm
Dorens

i had a guy with a plow come do it this morning. don't know how much it will cost. don't care. all i care about is that there was not much wind so didn't lose power. I think i'm suffering from PTSD... any thought of losing power after last fall.... i lose my mind. had flashlights and all ready last night
8:44 pm
MollyL

Big snowstorms with power outages are depressing. We had a 30 hour outage in the winter of 2009.
8:45 pm
wht

Snowstorms become social events because it is one time that you see all your neighbrors as they are all out at the same time shovelling.
8:45 pm
Dorens

i lost it for three days in the winter of 2010... but after sandy... twelve days. jsut too much

12 days with no power is enough to put anyone into clinical depression. You were with friends some of that time, right Dorens?
8:48 pm
Dorens

yes i was molly... but had to come home every day to feed the cats and spend some time with them... and each time brought more clothes and stuff to annie's house. By the time I came home, it seemed half my belongings were at her house. I was lucky, for sure, but it still was a drag and a half.

Nothing Dorens, you can use either.

10:49 pm
smores

Thank you Molly :)
10:49 pm
MollyL

And if it really matters in some recipe, you can give regular oats a whirl in the blender or food chopper to make them smaller.

The other day my coworker gave me some advice on how to not let others bother me. She said I should do yoga and to put whatever bothers me into different baskets. She says that she has baskets for different things depending on what bothers her. So then when another colleague upset her a few days later, I think she forgot about her baskets so I had to remind her.
10:57 pm
