You know how to live :) Glad it's making you feel better!

3:19 am

grannyrose

then we were very naughty and went to hungry jacks for lunch.

3:19 am

mattygroves

Oh, lovely. We're seeing Bellowhead tonight (I hope, if Jeff's headache gets better) which should be fun. An 11 piece folk band

3:22 am

grannyrose

what sort of folk music? which country?

3:22 am

mattygroves

British, by and large - huge fun. Hang on, I'll see if I can find you a link

3:23 am

mattygroves

"Bellowhead are an English contemporary folk band. The eleven-piece band plays traditional dance tunes, folk songs and shanties, with arrangements drawing inspiration from a wide diversity of musical styles and influences."

3:23 am

grannyrose

well that should soo good too. i hope his headache improves rapidly.

3:23 am

mattygroves

3:24 am

grannyrose

oh my, they are so young.

3:25 am

mattygroves

3:26 am

mattygroves

I think it's great, though, that younger people are playing folk again

3:26 am

grannyrose

it's wonderful to hear.

3:26 am

mattygroves

And Bellowhead are bonkers

3:34 am

zoozzoom

Okay first washing load out on the washing line. Second load on the go. Hope it does not all blow away with this wind lol

3:41 am

zoozzoom

turn inside out?

3:41 am

zoozzoom

Or to turn upside down

3:41 am

mattygroves

Thank you - that was the one! So obvious when it's clued

3:43 am

zoozzoom

It is always the case, Matty. Sometimes once i have found a word after looking for it for ages I can not believe how obviousit was lol

3:44 am

mattygroves

Yeah - when I list, I don't mind when I've missed babblets or weird words - but always, there are dead obvious words or plurals or past tenses that I've missed. Then I kick myself

3:45 am

zoozzoom

haha especially a four letter word like 'Nest' Of which I have done a few times!

3:46 am

mattygroves

Oh yes - me too!

3:46 am

mattygroves

And often I'll have tried weird sh*t like nste or the like before listing and see I missed the bloody obvious

3:46 am

zoozzoom

haha!!

3:47 am

zoozzoom

I try sillt words like the word Timber i will also try timbor timbar etc. You never kknow with enable!

3:48 am

mattygroves

I am now trying things like griby. It's not a word.

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Silly*

3:48 am

mattygroves

But it could be

3:49 am

zoozzoom

I agree you just never know what enable will except lol

3:49 am

mattygroves

What's annoying is I'll feel like I've tried every possible combination in the grid, word or no and then it's clued or I list and sure enough, the obvious combination is the one I've missed

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Yep I am sure they call it babble blindness :-0

3:50 am

zoozzoom

Phone

3:50 am

mattygroves
