12:45 am

melonheadjujube

weird grid

12:45 am

TraderKate

been a long time... you doing okay?

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

I am. I was getting to bed early at the end of the school year, then I was in Europe for a month, my first trip ever!

12:47 am

TraderKate

wonderful!!! well worth getting your circadian rhythm out of kilter!!! where did you go?

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

Actually, school starts tomorrow, but the odds of a sub job on the first day are remote.

12:48 am

flosey

fw and off to bed - unless anyone needs a clue?

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

Ahm the trip. All in all five weeks, I took the Amtrak from CLE to NYC and stayed a few days, the IcelandAir to Amersterdam, and trains to Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Regensburg and the Bavarian coutryside, a week in Paris, 3 nights in Iceland, back to NYC for a few days, and the train home.

12:50 am

melonheadjujube

The Iceland stopover actually broke up the jet lag a bit.

12:50 am

flosey

ah what a wonderful trip melon

12:50 am

flosey

I'm off, until tomorrow night!

12:51 am

harpjane

flip did anyone watch the mva's? i will never understand kanye west, I suppose.

12:51 am

TraderKate

niteers flosey :) congratulations!

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

It was. I used airbnb for Iceland, New York, Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris. Prague and Vienna were hotels, and Regensburg was at the home of a friend from music school; it was she who urged me to travel. So glad I finally did.

12:51 am

maccafixx

re 5/14?

12:52 am

melonheadjujube

I don't get Kanye one bit, nor really the MTV wing of music.

12:53 am

TraderKate

sounds wonderful melon! my cousin sis 2 weeks in Iceland and loved it... have been most of the other places you mentioned... what was your favourite?

12:54 am

TraderKate

lol... for melon's trip and in honour of jane there is a "dutch rabbit" in the grid, lol

12:54 am

flosey

ok, goodnight all

12:55 am

TraderKate

sweet dreams flosey :)

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

I did fall hook, line, and sinker for Paris. It was my longest stay, and I do understand French. I surprised myself at how much French I could speak; those years of french 8th grade thru sopjomore year of college were still hiding out in my gray matter!

12:56 am

harpjane

looking for the bunny....

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

Of course, English is spoken everywhere I went. Iceland was a nice way to decompress from all those capital cities. I was in a little harbor town, so small, no-one locled their doors!

12:57 am

TraderKate

don't want to mislead you jane... the word actually means thick fog/mist.... but looks like a dutch word for bunny...

12:58 am

TraderKate

funny how the long unused languages pop out when you are immersed? good for you!

12:58 am

melonheadjujube

thanks.

12:59 am

melonheadjujube

I was in Marais, not far from the Hotel de Ville. I was in a 5th floor apartment with a terrace. My neighbor was a tiny older lady who had been Pierre Boulez's copyist. Boulez is held in muh esteem in Cleveland, and as I am a musician, we had much to talk about.

1:01 am

TraderKate

so lucky to have had such a lovely pied a terre and neighbour too! I'll bet she was glad to have someone to "talk shop" with.

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

She was, and I was happy to have someone to say "bonjour" to everyday. as a solo traveler, I really enjoyed using airbnb for that reason, among others.

1:03 am

harpjane

there actually IS a bunny today, you know.

1:04 am

TraderKate

yes jane there is... now make it look dutch...

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

indeed a bunny

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

great clue, TK, thank you!

1:07 am

TraderKate

a bit fuzzy... but every time I see the word (thick fog/mist) I think dutch word for rabbit...

1:07 am

melonheadjujube

aa5 is how I feel about this grid.

1:08 am

TraderKate

hmmmm....looking

1:08 am

melonheadjujube

nbt at last, now for that pesky re8

1:09 am

TraderKate

can try to clue it if you want it..

1:09 am

melonheadjujube

I do! I'm getting tired and crabby.

1:10 am

harpjane

nbt nbs halfway, good night!

1:11 am

TraderKate

re 8/50... r +
nasty things from the water that stick on you and suck your blood....minus the first letter
+ superlative ending
+

1:12 am

TraderKate

I will try to think of a better clue...
congrats jane :)

1:12 am

TraderKate

melon... make that comparative ending not superlative...

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

Aha! and thank you. Or, a louder owl, minus South Carolina, sort of.

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

OK, nbt, nbs, and 30 words. Off to bed for me! Thanks, Kate, and good night all, or, Boone nuit!

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

Bonne nuit! Can't type!

1:15 am

good morning all

3:09 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite

3:10 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend, good evening to you. How was your day?

3:11 am

grannyrose

busyish. spent most of it on the phone trying to track down a marquee for wednesday which isn't going to cost the church an arm and a leg to hire

3:11 am

sprite

your vicar is so so lucky to have the two of you in her corner

3:12 am

grannyrose

tomorrow we go to do the shopping for the day. we are the lucky ones to have her.

3:13 am

sprite

will you take care of yourself? Doing such big shopping is not easy on the ole bod.

3:14 am

grannyrose

i will. i know exactly where everything is in the supermarkets. i will send don forward if it becomes too much.

3:14 am

sprite

you are awesome.

3:14 am

grannyrose

how are you today, honey?

3:15 am

sprite

groggy. Bad night, slept in a little, still half in dreamland, or so it feels like. Not much pain, not nauseated, physically pretty ok.

3:16 am

grannyrose

okay. as you wake up i hope you start to feel more alert.

3:17 am

sprite

sometimes those bad dreams feel like they have a vacuum pomp behind them... sucking me right back in

3:18 am

grannyrose

i know. those are the ones i call waking dreams. you know you are dreaming, but you are equally sure you are awake.

3:20 am

sprite

those, I know as well. This is different though. This is after waking up, washing, dressing, and still feeling like being sucked right back into the dream, fighting to be aware of the here-and-now

3:21 am

grannyrose

ugh. not nice at all.you poor girl!! * gentle hug*

3:21 am

sprite

*hugs back* It'll be ok, at some point it stops. Will take terra out for a spin after babble :)

3:22 am

grannyrose

that should help. some fresh air, some real world stuff happening around you.

3:23 am

sprite

exactly. Wish it still was storming outside. Storm is the best cure, lol. Blows it all right away.

3:24 am

grannyrose

well yes, but the storm brings it's own stuff with headaches and feeling blah too.

3:25 am

sprite

true. Especially thunderstorms. We had one last night. Things are quiet now on the weather front.

3:29 am

grannyrose

btw, the vicar and i decided to use disposable cups and plates on wednesday. the washing up logistics are a nightmare otherwise.

3:30 am

sprite

I think that is a wise decision. You can always opt for the paper variety in stead of plastic.

3:30 am

grannyrose

i am buying the type of cups take-away coffee is put into.

3:31 am

sprite

the kind that is bio-degradable?

3:31 am

grannyrose

yes, they are

3:32 am

sprite

exactly. Smart decision, if you ask me

3:32 am

sprite

lol, one word left. Guess. The 8 of course.

3:32 am

grannyrose

and i have found one brand of plates which are recyclable.

3:33 am

sprite

perfect, darling. You and Don are doing a bang-up job.

3:33 am

grannyrose

do you want the stats?

3:34 am

sprite

I have the stats. Is it a normal word or an uncommon one?

3:34 am

grannyrose

uncommon

3:34 am

sprite

thanks :)

3:36 am

sprite

fireflies. Easy grid today

3:37 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! it's wasn'y exactly difficult for me either.

3:37 am

sprite

a big *hug* for you, darling. I hope you will sleep well tonight.

3:38 am

grannyrose

xoxoxox {{hugs}} dearest. i hope your day improves for you.

3:38 am

sprite

oh, and my phantom of the day: nowhere

3:40 am

grannyrose

oh, clever sprite. i didn't have any phantoms.

4:34 am

small grid today??? I'm so bad at these ones :(

9:37 am

penquis

i don't think anybody here likes grids this small....

9:38 am

corvid

it's because there's never enough quick small words that are easy to get you have to start getting clues from people like so quickly?? and that's not as much fun

9:39 am

penquis

agreed....

9:45 am

Judi

Fireworks!

9:57 am

penquis

i had a cat years ago....she was more apt to bite my toes than lick them!

9:58 am

rururocks

I think it takes extensive training :D

9:58 am

if you are swimming in a pond that has blood suckers you would say it is le8 if you have a sooty fireplace it is re8
