flosey
hi Sprite and Rose, just typed in a message and it didn't just disappeared!! I left early tonight was too tired - slept but wakened by a dreadful dream!! so, back to babble
2:41 am
flosey
lol, a bit mixed up message!! not really quite awake yet
2:41 am
grannyrose
wb flosey. yuck on the nasty dream. babble a while, let your heart rate settle. xoxox
2:42 am
flosey
yes, pounding like a triphammer
2:43 am
grannyrose
brb, need to get meds etc ready. xoxox

flosey
thanks Rose
2:47 am
sprite
sorry sweetie, had to run. Stupid bowels.
2:48 am
sprite
hey flosey, so sorry you had a bad dream :( I know how that is.
2:49 am
flosey
ty Sprite - have to get it out of my head! so searching here for words should help - as well as talking with friends
2:49 am
flosey
so glad you and Rose are in here at the moment
2:49 am
grannyrose
and baa~~~~ack. XOXOXOX
2:50 am
sprite
distraction is good. And light, and if possible an open window in your sleeping room.
2:50 am
sprite
wb rose :)
2:52 am
flosey
good idea Sprite - just opened window here in the office - all is quiet and peaceful - neighbourhood sleeping as if nothing happened !!!!
2:52 am
sprite
yeah, that shows what they know, lol.
2:52 am
grannyrose
a gentle breeze blowing in flosey? rose-scented perhaps?
2:54 am
flosey
yes Rose, lovely breeze - but the roses are too far away
2:54 am
grannyrose
oh, dear. but at least you can hear the silence. that is so nice.
2:55 am
flosey
very peaceful
2:55 am
sprite
she could, rose, if you'd be quiet ;)
2:55 am
grannyrose
pfft sprite. here comes the squirt bottle....
2:56 am
sprite
*giggles* It is hot in here, I'd welcome some cold water.
2:56 am
flosey
ah Sprite, you made me giggle - but it's what I need - friendly chatter
2:56 am
grannyrose
lolol....under the table?
2:56 am
sprite
brrrrr oh rose, you are evil! :D
2:56 am
grannyrose
between your knees...
2:57 am
flosey
lol Rose, are you putting out anoher fire!!
2:57 am
sprite
you came to the right place then, flosey ;)
What are your plans for tomorrow?
2:57 am
grannyrose
good thing you have already 'been'.... lol
2:58 am
flosey
I think a lazy day and bridge in the evening
2:58 am
sprite
sounds like a very good day after a night like this. Some reading maybe? What are you reading at the moment?
2:58 am
flosey
we had a lovely dinner tonight with a very dear young couple - good friends
2:59 am
sprite
too true, rose... you wouldn't want to make me go before I reach a toilet, now do you?
3:00 am
sprite
oh, nice, flosey. Good friends are the best things in life. What did you have at the restaurant?
3:00 am
flosey
not reading anything at the moment Sprite, doing crossword puzzles - there's a mag that comes out weekly, has a full page cw puzzle and just about my speed
3:00 am
sprite
crosswords are nice too. I usually do sudokus though, and if I can, cryptos.
3:01 am
sprite
not very good at crosswords. I think it is like babble... you have to do it a lot to know all the silly little words :)
3:01 am
flosey
dinner was here, we had short ribs, broccoli, lovely peas from their garden, tomato,basil,garlic,feta salad (old faithful) followed by lemon pie, tea or coffee
3:02 am
grannyrose
oh my. so yummy
3:02 am
sprite
omg that is a menu to die for. Broccoli is correct, grin. But no matter how spelled, it is delish.
3:02 am
flosey
can never remember which is the double letter there!!
3:03 am
sprite
it is an odd word. We should have it in babble some day!
3:03 am
flosey
write it so seldom!
3:03 am
grannyrose
don and i are working our way through the 'kurt wallander' books... in order. and when we have finished, don has bought all the dvd's of the tv series.
3:04 am
flosey
have not heard of either the books or dvds, what type of story?
3:04 am
sprite
oh nice, rose. Well written and iirc also made into a really good series on tv.
3:05 am
flosey
don't watch much tv
3:05 am
grannyrose
detective flosey. written by henning mankell.
3:05 am
sprite
neither do I, but I like to watch series, on dvd.
3:06 am
sprite
I can be very happy with a good series and my knitting or crotcheting, and my little dog on the couch next to me
3:08 am
flosey
once in a while i tape a film that I missed and enjoy watching it - don't see many movies anymore
3:09 am
sprite
btw... today I have to go to the volunteer place for a training... we are going to work together with the telephone service that helps people who are suicidal... and the trainer actually managed to email us that we were to attend 'suicide training'. I wrote back that I didn't think that was a great idea, lol.
3:10 am
sprite
yes, a good movie is nice too.
3:10 am
flosey
hubby seldom enjoys movies - this will really date us - one of our very early dates was to see South Pacific!!
3:11 am
sprite
hehehe nothing wrong with being dated, flosey. You carry your years very well... and just like jilli, you are still so active and into young people and doing things like bridge. I admire you so much.
3:11 am
grannyrose
fantastic movie, flo
3:12 am
sprite
rose, sweetie, you are so quiet all of a sudden. Did a squirrel take you away from us or did you mis-aim that squirt bottle?
3:12 am
flosey
well thankyou Sprite - and yes Rose, great movie
3:12 am
sprite
new rose distraction... squirtle chasing
3:13 am
grannyrose
i went to get another bottle of iced tea, and that wretched nerve is definitely 'awake' already.
3:13 am
sprite
aw :( Time for a new infusion?
3:13 am
flosey
well, a cuppa nice hot tea sounds good right now, tks for the idea, brb
3:14 am
sprite
scroll back, rose... I was talking to you while you were gone :P
3:14 am
grannyrose
i think the denervation doc. john did last year....is finally wearing off. the nerve is regenerating.
3:15 am
grannyrose
lol at squirtle chasing.
3:15 am
sprite
ah, right. You will call him tomorrow and discuss it, won't you? No toughing it out until next time you see him?
3:16 am
grannyrose
*sigh* yes, i think i need a consult. and we will talk about the neurostimulator implants too.
3:16 am
sprite
good. *hugs*
3:17 am
Kamanjah
Squirtle chasing made me laugh, and a second later I smelled skunk...some local critter got it, ugh! Hopefully none of my cats. My dog is safely asleep at my feet, yay!
3:17 am
Kamanjah
BTW, Hi all!
3:17 am
sprite
ouch, Kamanjah, that is one nasty smell :(
3:18 am
grannyrose
ugh, skunk...dead or alive do you think? and hey ya kam
3:18 am
Kamanjah
I know! And we finally opened up the house this evening to get fresh air after days of 102 F
3:19 am
Kamanjah
Most likely quite alive, we're in the "country" - 1 acre lots, so rather rural.
3:19 am
flosey
smell of skunk is pretty awful and it seems to hang in the air for a while
3:20 am
grannyrose
how about a squirtle loaded with rose water?
3:20 am
sprite
sounds about right :)
3:20 am
flosey
I've never seen one or heard of one here on the Island but saw and made their presence known back in Ontario
3:20 am
Kamanjah
My poor hubby had skunks mate under his old house one night - he worked animal services at the time and they sent him home to get a clean uniform. Well, his whole house and everything he owned smelled like skunk...what to do? A lot of laundry!
3:21 am
sprite
ouch, how nasty!
3:21 am
Kamanjah
I'll take the rose water any time!! LOL!
3:21 am
flosey
think his employer should have suggested a holiday for poor chap
3:22 am
grannyrose
well, kam, you could walk around with a fresh unpeeled orange with cloves stuck into it. pretend you are in medieval england. that was pretty pongy.
3:22 am
Kamanjah
They were ruthless, probably still are. They forced him into retirement because he has Parkinsons. Illegal as hell...
3:23 am
sprite
what? Oh that is so evil :(
3:23 am
grannyrose
??? kam ??? good heavens!! does he have no recourse?
3:23 am
Kamanjah
If this house wasn't so hot with the doors and windows closed, I'd close it back up and start diffusing some nice essential oils!
3:23 am
flosey
terrible, I meant a paid holiday!! after all he'd been through
3:24 am
sprite
yeah a paid holiday and his clothes cleaned on their costs.
3:25 am
Kamanjah
Lawyers said no because they offered him any open job in the county (population about 44,000) - but the only open jobs were computer specialists.
3:26 am
sprite
still sounds very very unfair
3:27 am
Kamanjah
But, the lawyers sent him to a work comp lawyer, because he had several injuries that got worse, so we're hoping for a decent settlement on that...almost 18 months later...the work comp company is balking says the lawyer, I think the lawyer is stalling, not sure.
3:27 am
Kamanjah
It was cruel!
3:28 am
sprite
those things do take time, but I should hope the lawyer would be firmly in your camp
3:28 am
flosey
that's a very nasty situation!!
3:28 am
grannyrose
hang in there kam. my work comp took over three years. but the wait was worth it.
3:28 am
Kamanjah
The work comp company doctor gave him about 58% disability from the injuries, so they are going to have to pay up eventually!
3:29 am

It's great for the (unpruned) roses, but I doubt there'll be much fruit.

Are you far from the eavt rain band "king" tides, Liz?
6:39 am

On Saturday we had 250 mm of rain in 24 hours. There's been a fair bit of erosion on the beaches.
6:39 am

You too, Car.

Huge King Tide on Saturday night.

bye car...
6:40 am
Lizlin
Thankfully we're well past the worst now. The surf's still high and it's still windy but it hasn't rained since Saturday night.
6:41 am
rubyfoo
I guess it ties in with the moon and the start of Ramadan
6:41 am
Lizlin
Those poor people in Sydney - the pics looked awful. Australia's not doing well this week - one killed by a croc, 2 by sharks and 3 by floods.
6:42 am
Lizlin
The king tide definitely ties in with the new moon.
6:42 am
rubyfoo
The firs two events are preventable but not the third
6:42 am
rubyfoo
My "helper" isMuslim, but not really observant
6:42 am

Very true - particularly the croc! That really annoys me. People ignore the signs and swim in areas where there are crocs. The crocs attack and then they kill the crocs.
6:43 am
rubyfoo
She had to taste my peach jam!
6:43 am

I'm sure it was delicious!
6:43 am

How are you Ruby and how are your gorgeous pups?
6:43 am
rubyfoo
It's like that gorilla in the US, why wasn't the mother holding onto her kid?
6:44 am
rubyfoo
The pups are wonderful but need more combing than I can manage
6:44 am
Lizlin
Also true - I totally understand why they had to shoot the gorilla, whether I like it or not but the responsibility is with the parents and the health / safety conditions of the zoo.
6:44 am
rubyfoo
I do some every night, but the amount of fur is astounding!
6:44 am
Lizlin
Their fur is sooooo thick! Must be a huge job.

In Florida, when they build too close to the <Everglades and alligators wanderinto housing developments, they kill them
6:48 am

6:49 am

Stupid to build so close to the alligators' habitat! What do they think will happen? But still, protection of human life must come first.

Trifioso
hello dear friends
6:55 am
Lizlin
How are your Ireland plans coming along?
6:56 am
Trifioso
gosh, lizlin, it's so funny you asked! Planning an actual vacation is HARD! It was so much easier when all we did was go up in a plane, come down, get collected by the inlaws and go right to their house. All the arrangements! Car hire, hotels, activities - whew!
6:57 am
Trifioso
but we are getting excited. I will be FULLY excited when my new passport arrives, and we have all the details settled....
6:58 am
Trifioso
Ireland is so great - all of the things we most want to visit again are 100% free (Giant's Causeway, Glendalough...) so not much of a burden there. We all agree to spend the extra $20 a piece to get the one size bigger car. We are going to be in it a LOT so it seems money well spent....at this rate we will probably sleep in it one night too!
6:58 am
Lizlin
Yes it is hard - when we went to London the last 2 times, we also visited Devon and Cornwall - deciding where to go etc. etc. finding the best hotels, guest houses etc. - all takes so much time. But it is fun!
6:59 am
Lizlin
We want to go to Ireland next time we visit the UK - I've never been there, despite living in London for most of my life.
6:59 am
Trifioso
One of the easiest things is traveling with four college-aged companions. Their willingness to sleep, er, "rough" makes finding cheap accommodations a snap
6:59 am
Lizlin
Good idea to get the bigger car - not so sure about sleeping in it though! A killer for your back!
7:00 am
Lizlin
So cheap accommodation for the kids and something classy for you!!!! Sounds about right!
7:00 am
Trifioso
no, no, cheap for me too! I did splash out on ONE place, in Wexford....
7:01 am
Trifioso
four poster beds, full Irish breakfast, the whole deal
7:01 am
Lizlin
I was joking! And I'm sure you'll really appreciate your Wexford splash out! Sounds wonderful.
7:01 am
Lizlin
We usually look for Bed and Breakfasts when we travel in the UK.
7:02 am
bichon
If anyone here is going to Ireland, please take me
7:02 am
Trifioso
it does. I MUCH prefer bed and breakfasts as well. This place in Wexford is technically one. The biggest bummer is the late check in policies most hotels have - 2 or 3 pm at the earliest. We are flying all night - let us sleep a few hours in the morning, then go about our afternoon!
7:03 am
Trifioso
you are very welcome to sneak along with us, bichon. There IS extra room in the car, after all
7:03 am

Most of the B & B's will store your bags for you - especially if you contact them first - at least that's our experience. Some might even let you arrange an early check in if they have space.
7:04 am
Trifioso
gosh, why does my free period fly by so much faster?
7:04 am
Trifioso
I am definitely going to try that, lizlin
7:04 am
Lizlin
Nothing to lose by trying it!
7:04 am
Trifioso
I am a bit nervous about being the only driver. No one else on the trip is over 25.
7:05 am
Lizlin
Also try to get into the time zone immediately - don't try to sleep during the day but walk about and push yourselves. Go to bed early in the evening. Best way to counter jet lag.
7:05 am
Trifioso
I know, I know...but it's hard to sleep when excited, and on a plane, and on and ona
7:06 am
Lizlin
I'm sure the driving will be fine - you'll adapt to driving on the correct side easily!!!
7:06 am
Trifioso
we are landing in Shannon, and getting the car right at the airport. If we have energy, I would like to go right up to the Cliffs of Moher....but we will see
7:06 am
Trifioso
on of the nice things is that we can pace ourselves. No one to keep up with but ourselves
7:06 am
Lizlin
I sometimes take a night time cold remedy to help me sleep on a plane. Or try a light sleeping pill from a pharmacy - but try it out at home first - my hubby reacted really badly!
7:07 am
Lizlin
But even so - I never sleep well on a plane!
7:07 am
Trifioso
I usually take a sleep aid anyway, (hellooooo menopause.....) so im okay with that
7:07 am
Trifioso
I do fear I will spend the trip whip cracking the teens/young adults into consciousness - they all sleep and sleep and sleep in real life
7:07 am
Lizlin
Sounds like the way to travel! That's what we try to do - but sometimes our UK friends end up dictating the pace of our holiday.
7:08 am
bichon
The only time I have slept well on a plane was when we weeere bumped up to business class on a flight to Brazil
7:08 am
Trifioso
and I am GLAD as anything there are four of them - off you go to the pubs, kiddos - momma needs her reading/sleepy time
7:08 am
Lizlin
Hmm! You'll have to find a way to counter that - want to make the most of the holiday.
7:08 am
Trifioso
that sounds wonderful bichon!!!
7:08 am
Trifioso
really I should be taking them the other way - in Hawaii they would be up at 6 every day
7:08 am
Lizlin
Me too bichon - just once flying from KL to London.
7:09 am
Trifioso
and don't rat me out, but most of the itinerary involves me being able to check out the sales rack in EVERY Monsoon in the country
7:09 am
Lizlin
More to see in Ireland!
7:09 am
Lizlin
I love Monsoon!
7:09 am
Trifioso
I LOVE monsoon!!!!
7:10 am
Trifioso
the fact that Dubai has one, but we don't, is still a bitter pill
7:10 am
Lizlin
I don't think Monsoon is in Aus. Definitely not where we are.
7:11 am
Lizlin
Well, I'm down to 26 but still missing most of the biggies!
7:12 am
Anniebrook
Pray tell, what is Monsoon? Clothing?
