mattygroves, are you there?

2:28 am

sprite

matty, if you see this, please email me (addy in profile). I found the restaurant Liz and I went to.

2:40 am

mattygroves

I have just arrived

2:40 am

mattygroves

Literally - I have three words

2:40 am

sprite

hello matty :) Liz sent me a photo of the view from the restaurant and it brought back my memory :)

2:41 am

mattygroves

Oh wow - I've just dropped you an email (omygod, an 11 letter word - tell me it ain't so! Bet it starts with a vowel)

2:41 am

sprite

it does, lol

2:42 am

mattygroves

Siigh. I'm doomed. Doomed, I tell you!

2:42 am

mattygroves

And I now realise, just now, that I have to go to the penalty box.

2:49 am

sprite

roflol! Best place in babble, the pb. Good food and drinks, cabana boys, jacuzzi and lazy chairs...

2:49 am

sprite

ok, emailed you the address of the restaurant, and another good place to go eat.

2:49 am

mattygroves

Oooh, sounds lovely. Pass me another mojito, please

2:49 am

mattygroves

Thank you Sprite!!

2:50 am

sprite

yvw!

2:54 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs :)

2:54 am

sprite

hi Liz :) *hugs*

2:54 am

Lizlin

Really happy the the photo prompted your memory.

2:54 am

mattygroves

They look fun - open til 4.00am - my 4.00am days are long over...

2:55 am

Lizlin

You'll love Amsterdam

2:55 am

sprite

me too :) It was so funny, I was looking at the picture and remembering our afternoon, and that brought back just enough info to help me find the right restaurant.

2:55 am

mattygroves

I'm really looking forward to it

2:56 am

Lizlin

I remember the afternoon - such a great time but had no idea about the restaurant, even when you sent the name!

2:57 am

Lizlin

You should try to book Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh museum before you go - if they're your things, because the queues were horrendous.

2:58 am

sprite

I really hope the weather will clear up for you. Even though Amsterdam is wonderful in every kind of weather, it is more fun to walk the streets when it is dry. Make sure to bring good rain clothing, matty.

2:58 am

mattygroves

I will. I have an interview the day I fly so I shall be going suited and booted

2:59 am

sprite

very good advice. Rather popular places. Oh, and matty, if you are willing to travel outside Amsterdam, you might want to visit De Zaanse Schans. Let me find you link.

It doesn't look so bad, weather wise http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2759794

3:00 am

Lizlin

It was much busier last time than when we went the time before, though the time of year probably made a difference.

3:01 am

sprite

it looks pretty good indeed, matty :)

3:01 am

mattygroves

It's the SAIL festival as well. That will make things busy, apparently

3:02 am

sprite

oh yes, SAIL is always crazy busy. My love and daughter will be canoeing past the sail boats on saturday. Not so busy on the water, lol, as on the streets.

3:03 am

Lizlin

Friend of my is just about to start a year's doctorate at Leiden uni.

3:03 am

mattygroves

It should be interesting :)

3:04 am

sprite

oh lucky her/him! Leiden is a great great uni city. I studied there as well. Lovely streets and views, good restaurants and cafes, great place to be.

3:04 am

Lizlin

I think she's very excited.

3:05 am

sprite

if she needs a contact in the netherlands, feel free to give her my email addy, Liz.

3:06 am

Lizlin

OK will do - she's a lovely person - daughter of close friend.

3:06 am

sprite

your friends are my friends, grin

3:06 am

Lizlin

:)

3:07 am

Lizlin

Stuck at 44!

3:07 am

sprite

ok, mi7/52 is a complete unword. Jeez.

3:07 am

Lizlin

Don't have that.

3:08 am

sprite

start with fog, then a vowe, then short for england

3:09 am

mattygroves

That's a dumb word

3:09 am

sprite

right... it is scots. Irregular verb form.

3:09 am

marigold

3:09 am

sprite

vowe = vowel, but you already guessed that

3:09 am

Lizlin

Weird!

3:10 am

sprite

in english, it is -oo-

3:10 am

Lizlin

I gave one 10 but not the 10/11 combo

3:10 am

sprite

that makes fireflies

3:11 am

Lizlin

*have but you guessed that too!

3:11 am

sprite

Liz, start with against. I think it is something chemical, must check

3:11 am

Lizlin

Congrats, sprite.

3:12 am

Lizlin

I figured it started like that.

3:12 am

sprite

yes it is. Chemical binary compound of a metal and this chemical

3:13 am

sprite

the 11 ends in beware of the **** of march

3:14 am

Lizlin

Thanks

3:15 am

sprite

yvw. *hugs* to you both, and to matty a wonderful day, and to Liz and love a great evening and a restful night.

4:15 am

zoozzoom

Lovely day here yesterday.Just average today by the looks of things.

4:15 am

zoozzoom

4:17 am

sukee

Especially since I read to about 11 and then listened to a podcast until midnight :)

4:18 am

zoozzoom

I love reading whilst in bed just before sleep.It seems to be a routine I have now and do not feel right if I do not follow it..lol

4:18 am

sukee

Me too.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Nice to know I am not the only one then :-) I have a pile of books waiting to be read.The last book I read had 1535 pages with very small writing.took me an age to read!

4:20 am

mrpresident

hi zoom and sukee :))

4:21 am

sukee

Thankfully I have a iPod and can read my kindle books and can adjust the size of the print :) I hate having to wear reading glasses in bed.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Mrp :-)

4:21 am

sukee

I'm looking for a long book I can really get into.

4:21 am

sukee

Hi MR

4:22 am

sukee

I'm reading Go Set a Watchman right now and Patti Smith's Just Kids is next.

4:22 am

mrpresident

I read Fountainhead recently...

4:22 am

sukee

Be right back.

4:23 am

zoozzoom

The one I just finished was A suitable boy by Vikram Seth.took a while to get into but enjoyed it.

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Not heard of that one, Mrp.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

I have started a five book series book one pawn of prophecy is done, on the second one called queen sorcery these are by David Eddings.

4:26 am

mrpresident

have you read the White Queen ?

4:26 am

zoozzoom

You know that name rings a bell.Who is it by?

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Sorry I have read so many books over the years..lol

4:27 am

mrpresident

Philippa Gregory

4:28 am

mrpresident

The White Queen, The Red Queen and The Kingmaker's Daughter... historic fiction

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Ah I think they made that into a film?

4:28 am

mrpresident

It was a series

4:29 am

zoozzoom

I will have to check the books out at the local library.If i like it i will look into buying the books :-)

4:30 am

TraderKate

I'm reading The Other Boleyn Girl now...

4:30 am

sukee

Laundry in dryer now :)

4:30 am

mrpresident

That is very good Kate

4:30 am

sukee

I read the Other Boleyn Girl, good one

4:30 am

zoozzoom

That is a film also!

4:31 am

sukee

I can download books from the library, I have The Girl on the Train on hold.

4:31 am

sukee

I also read a lot of freebie novels :)

4:32 am

sukee

I christened my new iPad by giving myself an iTunes gift card :) I also have Patti Smith's new book on pre-order.

4:33 am

mrpresident

I am considering an iPad for my birthday...

4:33 am

sukee

I got a mini and I love it,

4:34 am

zoozzoom

I have to have a real book.Just love the feel of a book.Then seeing them neatly on by bookshelves! Am I weird thinking like that do you think..lol

4:34 am

mrpresident

are you on a plan or did you buy outright?

4:34 am

sukee

Not really, I have 3 bookshelves filled with books.

4:34 am

mrpresident

yes zoom... Maddi and I are like that. Luke likes reading on the screen

4:34 am

sukee

I bought it, under $300 at WalMart

4:35 am

mrpresident

ah, well our outright price is $550 plus

4:36 am

zoozzoom

I suppose the price depends on the storage space on the ipad does it? I am sure there are three sizes of memory to choose from?

4:36 am

sukee

But still worth it I think. I had a 1st generation one that cost over $700 but it's obsolete now.

4:36 am

mrpresident

and the cutie at the store is making me wanna go and check it out again!

4:37 am

sukee

I chose 16 for storage. I won't be filling it up with as many apps as my first one. I got the mini because my Kindle is dying and I wanted an ebook reader. This gives me access to kindle and iBooks.

4:38 am

sukee

And of course I can listen to podcasts and look at Facebook :) It also gave me a camera and mine had broken, hence the new kitty picture :)

4:38 am

zoozzoom

Yes I did see that.I was wondering what they were looking at..lol

4:38 am

ivesy3

4:40 am

zoozzoom

4:41 am

sukee

Has a good rating on GoodReads :)

4:41 am

ivesy3

they were both excellent zoo.. i am going to give ermest hemingways books a try now.

4:41 am

sukee

It does look good.

4:42 am

sukee

Oh, you have to read A Moveable Feast by Hemingway :) I am not a fan of his other books but I love this one. It's about his life in Paris.

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Paula McLain book looks like a strong storyline too!

4:43 am

sukee

That being said, I have 3 Hemingway novels on my bookshelves. I read two in uni.

4:43 am

ivesy3

i was looking at that one sukee. i think i will give it a try... am trying to collect the classics (and read them)...but working in library i see so many books i want to read lol

4:43 am

sukee

I collect books about the Lost Generation and include him.

4:44 am

sukee

I hear you, I worked in a library for 12 years :)

4:45 am

ivesy3

4:45 am

zoozzoom

If i worked in a library I aam not sure how much work would get done..lol

4:46 am

ivesy3

lol. zoo.. i am in charge of processing all the new books... so guess who gets first shot at them!!

4:47 am

sukee

Whoo, got an 8

4:47 am

zoozzoom

Nice, Ivesy!

4:47 am

zoozzoom

I would be looking out for first editions too!

4:47 am

sukee

Lol, cats playing catch. They have this mouse they both love and the black one carries it over to me to throw.

4:48 am

zoozzoom

Nice one, Sukee!

4:48 am

ivesy3

found a very old edition of gone with the wind..and some classics when we were cleaning out the stacks.

4:48 am

zoozzoom

Aww sounds sweet, Sukee :-)

4:49 am

sukee

Both take turns during the day coming to me for cuddles too.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Our library often have sales to clear out the old stock ready for the new to be shelved.

4:49 am

ivesy3

need a coffee... bbl.. trying to break the habit of spending money on tim hortons coffee everyday.

4:50 am

zoozzoom

The only problem I have with that is the edges of the books look so grubby with all the hands it has passed through :-(

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Take a flask of coffee from home, Ivesy! save a fortune that way :-)

4:51 am

sukee

I have a whole bunch of books that are x-library. The last place I worked allowed us to buy hardcovers for $1.

4:52 am

crosshair

Good morning, everybody:)

4:52 am

sukee

Hi crossy.

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Yes you can grab a good bargain here too.Some books are going for as little as 15 pence for a hardback.

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Hello, crossy :-)

4:53 am

sukee

So, I still have a few unread. So, if all the wifi dies and we can't ever get online again I am okay :)

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Of course it does matter what the content of the book is about.I would ot buy it just because it is cheap..lol

4:53 am

sukee

Yes :)

4:54 am

zoozzoom

good plan there, sukee, I like your thinking!

4:54 am

zoozzoom

not*

4:54 am

crosshair

My bookcase is full as is my e-reader. I am ready for any crisis!

4:54 am

4:55 am

5:47 am

mattygroves

Hello. I'm struggling at the moment with EM words - the first em5/14, the em6/24 after it, an em 6/21 and the last em6/24. Can anyone point me in the right direction

5:49 am

doseffing

em5/14 ...e + to fix or repair something

5:53 am

Angelsong

there is one spot in the grid that is one letter short of making me ill.,,

5:54 am

doseffing

... 3m 6/24 ... em + head norse god

5:55 am

MollyL

Actually, substitute another consonant at the end of the almost making you ill word

5:56 am

doseffing

... that was em 6/24

5:56 am

MollyL

I was referring to em 6/21

5:56 am

doseffing

... em6/21 ... change the vowel and consonnent in the middle

5:57 am

MollyL

With a C at the end, em 6/24 would be a vomit inducer

5:57 am

doseffing

... noticed that one ... could use it for the 6/21 except with a different final letter

5:58 am

doseffing

... just checked what it is ... ... it's the stuff that makes ipecac work ... seems ironic

5:59 am

doseffing

... and the other em6/24 is a laxative ... now that is ironic

6:00 am

doseffing

... oh well ... enough silliness ... other things to do for a while ... ... luck to all

11:03 am

cybernan

It's been cooling a little at night, but is 71 already and supposed to hit somewhere in the 90's today.

11:03 am

kje

I like big fog and I cannot lie...

11:03 am

kje

90 is too hot nan! come to sf

11:04 am

cybernan

Clear sky and just a hint of a breeze today - no cloud cover and no smoke makes a big difference.

11:04 am

rururocks

smoky here

11:04 am

kje

ah, are you getting that, ru?

11:04 am

kje

btw, did you feel the quake up there this morning?

11:05 am

rururocks

smoke yes.. quake no

11:05 am

rururocks

I think it was centered in Oakland

11:05 am

cybernan

there are some huge uncontained fires to the south of us, but the wind must be blowing away frome us for a change.

11:05 am

kje

yep, piedmont

11:06 am

8:04 pm

harpjane

found a weasel. we DO have those in Montana!

8:07 pm

MollyL

Sometimes clues don't mean the exact word (Timmy's) but a variation of the word. And since Timmy's isn't in the grid, I thought the Horton's thing might work.

8:09 pm

wht

Can I have a clue for the first an10?

8:09 pm

TraderKate

yes molly, you wer on the right track, it was me that was too tired to catch the clue... I got caught up in variations of timm's/timmiestimmey etc
