I'm still keeping on keeping on. Doing fine thanks, Sprite. You looking forward to Rose's visit?

1:19 am

sprite

can't wait :) Good to hear you are doing fine.

1:20 am

Jacula

Ooh! On of my favourite ps exclamations is in the grid, plus its past tense. p + sounds like beside the sea.

1:20 am

sprite

yes :) Nice one, isn't it?

1:20 am

Jacula

I'm posting everyday stuff on FB, sprite, but are you on there?

1:21 am

sprite

no, never. I stopped using FB, it was too much of a timesink for me.

1:24 am

Jacula

Yes, I get that. It certainly can be, if you let it. Haveyou published any more books?

1:24 am

sprite

my daughter's name is in the grid and she is coming home today :)

1:25 am

Jacula

My surname was in the grid a couple of days ago and that doesn't happen often.

1:25 am

sprite

:D always a nice surprise

1:25 am

Jacula

Hope you enjoy the time with your daughter. I don't see mine as often as I'd like, but we do keep in touch with private messaging on Facebook.

1:26 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me. {{sprite}} and {{jac}} xoxox

1:26 am

sprite

we use whatsapp a lot. She can't come home as often as we'd all like, too busy with her study and work. But when she can, it is wonderful to have her here.

1:26 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my darling, how was your day?

1:27 am

Jacula

Hi grannyrose!

1:27 am

grannyrose

a little easier thanx. slept well last night for the first time in about 2 weeks.

1:27 am

Jacula

Is whatsapp one of those smart phoen things? I don't have a fancy cellphone.

1:28 am

sprite

thank the Big Guy for that.

1:28 am

grannyrose

how was your yesterday and night prite?

1:28 am

sprite

yeah it is an application on a smartphone. Enables you to text and send pictures for free if you have wifi. A very nice app.

1:29 am

sprite

pretty okay, rose. Prepared caya's room for her. All that's left to do is making the bed with fresh linen, which is already clean and dry. And cooking a huge pot of curry :)

1:30 am

Jacula

I've been offered fancy cellphones for years now, but don't want one. I just keep with a basic cell phone that I barely use anyway.

1:30 am

sprite

Tim and Liza are eating here too, and I want to give caya a couple of portions to take home with her. So it will be a HUGE pot.

1:31 am

sprite

I was the same, Jac. But as soon as I tried one, I didn't want to go back. Some very nice features, even for people who hardly use their phones.

1:33 am

grannyrose

nice sprite. lolll in the pot big enough to bath a baby?

1:33 am

sprite

about that size, lol

1:33 am

Jacula

I can't stand texting - no good for my thumb joints. Much prefer a proper keyboard. Dinosaur, me!LOL

1:33 am

sprite

oh, I hear you, I prefer a real keyboard too.

1:34 am

Jacula

:)

1:37 am

sprite

so... a quick babble for me, then making the bed and getting the groceries. Home in time for caya's arrival. Then catching up, hugging (lots of hugging) and cooking my famous curry, and some hugging.

1:38 am

Jacula

Same for me re quick Babble, then household and writing stuff. Oh, and some sleep woudl be nice, too.

1:39 am

sprite

hehehe, sleep is a good thing.

1:39 am

1:45 am

Lizlin

1:46 am

sprite

1:46 am

sprite

*if she is not taking it while here

1:46 am

grannyrose

it should see me through. he is also putting me on slow-release oxycodone twice/day, with endone for break-through.

1:46 am

grannyrose

lollll, sprite, you'll have to catch me first

1:47 am

Lizlin

That's your job, Sprite - I know you'll take it seriously. Look after Rose. It's such a special holiday for her.

1:47 am

sprite

tsk, silly rose. I can't run or even walk fast. I'll sic Rob or Tim on you.

1:47 am

sprite

I'll take very very good care of her and Don, I promise

1:47 am

grannyrose

rofloll

1:48 am

Lizlin

You'll have me to answer to otherwise - long distance or not. I might even detour on my next trip to Europe!

1:49 am

sprite

oh now, that changes things. So mistreating rose will reward me with a visit from Liz... now I have to think things over verrrrrrry carefully....

1:49 am

Lizlin

:)

1:49 am

Jacula

Hmmm - I see sprite is thinking too much.

1:49 am

Lizlin

But that'll be the nasty me - you've only met the nice one!

4:04 am

rubyfoo

ZZoozz!! Am I too later to say hello?

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Ruby))

4:08 am

zoozzoom

I was just about to turn of the computer then lol

4:08 am

zoozzoom

How are you?

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I've just been counting (re-counting) my blessings and realize how fortunate I am!!

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Why what has happened?

4:09 am

rubyfoo

And you? How are you doing? Is it still cold there?

4:09 am

rubyfoo

And you? How are you doing? Is it still cold there?

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Not too cold but the wind is picking up :-(

4:10 am

rubyfoo

N othing bad, but I spoke with my sister yesterday and she is always focused on the negative

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Is it warming up where you are yet?

4:10 am

rubyfoo

It's cold here, but brilliantly sunny and the afternoon will be warmer

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Oh the glass half empty person.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

A bit like me at times although I am getting better at being more positive!

4:11 am

rubyfoo

Yes, she is, and, at the moment, my glass is overflowing!

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Glad it will be warmer for you. Roll on the Summer!

4:11 am

zoozzoom

It is lovely to hear you say your glass is over flowing, Ruby! You deserve it :-)

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I've decided to play vegetables on the deck because it's too hard and dangerous to go down to the potager

4:12 am

rubyfoo

And you are part ofmy world, zooz, I mean it!

4:12 am

zoozzoom

And why not. Sounds like a good idea to me!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

plant* not play

4:13 am

rubyfoo

Like that I can water them easily because the deck is adjacent to the kitchen

4:13 am

rubyfoo

"Container gardening"

4:13 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) very sweet of you. You are such a kind lady. Babble is a very good place for friendly people...Well most of them lol

4:14 am

rubyfoo

Thank you for saying that. I see myself as not so kind! LOL

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Vegetables right outside of your window! Sounds great. What type of veggies are you going to give a go?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

The people I care about are like a garden....

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Of course, Ruby and the ones you do not like are the weeds that you must take and out and throw away :-)

4:16 am

rubyfoo

Cherry tomatoes, maybe some squash, I'm going to the garden centre with a friend this afternoon and she can shlep the dirt up from the garage.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

Or ignore LOL

4:16 am

zoozzoom

well yes ignore is just as good Teehee!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I'll see what they have. I also discovered yesterday that I can order freesias on the internet and they're not even dear.

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Shlep...What a wonderful word!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I'll plant some in a pot for cutting in the house.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

It's one of th 10 Yiddish words I know.

4:18 am

zoozzoom

It sounds like this plan is coming together really well. You will be making lovely vegetable pies and alike through-out the Summer!

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Uh uh, I only cook for the dogs

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Butternut squash is really nice if seasoned well.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

Right now I haave two big bouquets of white and green in the living room with me. The Casablanca lilies are beautiful, but the scent is borderline too strong!

4:21 am

rubyfoo

Good idea, I could just stick it in the oven, slather it with butter, and eat it like that

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Sounds lovely. Good job you dont suffer from hayfever then LOL

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I don't even care about seasning, just simplicity and no work

4:22 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I probably do, but I'd rather have flowers, hayfever be damned!

4:22 am

zoozzoom

How are your babies doing?

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I'm really happy to have seen you, but I had better take my bath while the housekeeper is here

4:24 am

zoozzoom

No worries, Ruby. I need to get to parents house anyway. ((Ruby)) Nice to catch up with you.

4:24 am

rubyfoo

My Rufie has started doing new and lovely thingss. I looked at one of those dopey "10 ways" things on YouTube and he does all 10 of the ways a dog shows his love -- even mimics my yawns.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

And yesterday he offered his favorite toy to his "sister"
