Good morning. For the moment, (first 40 words), this is a friendly grid.
3:49 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Ruby, Almost through my first run and have found exactly 110 words I am on the last D at the moment.
3:50 am
zoozzoom
How are you?
3:50 am
rubyfoo
Hello (( zzoozz)).
3:50 am
zoozzoom
damn sorry everyoone
3:52 am
rubyfoo
l'm happy to see you! Did l see you mention "Assassin's Creed" yesterday? l saw it advertised last night (but l was watching Billions, a little bit like watching a writhing snake!)
3:52 am
rubyfoo
That word would apply to me. LOL
3:53 am
rubyfoo
Aside from being incapable of building a fire, l'm fine, thanks. Usually, at this hour, it is necessary to me**ly lurk
3:53 am
zoozzoom
Ah yes assassin's creed origins. Yes I am playing that game, Ruby. The details in the game are stunning. It is also a vast game. Looks like it will take me some time to complete the storyline.
3:54 am
rubyfoo
It was advertised as a movie on cable; l have no idea.....
3:55 am
zoozzoom
There is an assassin's creed movie but I have not seen it.
3:56 am
rubyfoo
We probably get some of the same shows (do you have Showtime, if you're ready for some incredibly rough language).
3:58 am
zoozzoom
I have sky satellite and that carries hundreds of channels. Most of them seem to be crap but it would take me an hour just to keep swapping the channels to see what they are about so I go by the title of the programme lol
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Is showtime the name of the TV program or the name of the channel?
3:59 am
rubyfoo
Everything stops here for this Holiday. There is even a little ceremony in the cemetery down my street with a tiny band
4:00 am
zoozzoom
Yes it is armistice day so it will.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
I recommend "This is us" and "When we rise", two current series, neither of which offends (unlike Billions, which does -- even moi) but which deal with important iissues, nonetheless
4:03 am
rubyfoo
It's the cable channel,but there are things that even shock me and l'm not easily shocked.
4:04 am
zoozzoom
Just googled them. Will look out for them, Ruby.
4:07 am
rubyfoo
My oldest friend (almost 50 yrs of friendship) wrote to me yesterday and l haven't stopped smiling. Although she visited me here a couple of times; we are both too old to travel now and she lives in Seattle, having given up her 10th arrondisement apartment in Paris when her husband died.
4:08 am
rubyfoo
Uh oh, l'm monoipolizing the chat, just like what others do that annoys me. Bad Nel!
4:08 am
zoozzoom
Nice when people can make you smile! Even better when it is hannd written letters and not email type!
4:10 am
zoozzoom
Oh it does not bother me, Ruby. I have real life things for me to worry about lol You can chat away as much as you like. Besides I do not see anyone else here.
4:11 am
zoozzoom
That last 'i' tile has me stumped at the moment. Can't think of one word.
4:12 am
zoozzoom
And just as I wrote that I found it. iD 5/14
4:12 am
rubyfoo
We exchanged 4 sets of letters yesterday and have a date to speak on the phone tonight; wE HAVE A WEALTH OF SHARED HISTORY: YOUNG MOTHER, Young faculty wives, unahppy first marriages, etc.
4:14 am
zoozzoom
Sounds like you have a great connecton with this person, Ruby! Much memories and gossip to share with each other!
4:14 am
rubyfoo
Her son gave my son his first guitar when he was 7
4:14 am
rubyfoo
l am so fortunate!
4:14 am
zoozzoom
I would loved to have learned either the guitar or the piano.
4:15 am
zoozzoom
As is the other lady, Ruby :-)
4:15 am
rubyfoo
It led to John's secondary career (which he has now dropped!)
4:16 am
zoozzoom
At least he has that to fall back on if needed!
4:16 am
zoozzoom
My first run through and I have 124 words found.
4:17 am
rubyfoo
or even harumph!
4:18 am
rubyfoo
l'm enjoying "seeing" you, zzoozz. ls it cold and nasty there? They're predicting serious rain here, starting tonight
4:20 am
zoozzoom
Well it must be the rain we are having then,, Ruby as it is raining here and has been all night and it will be all day too. Sunday is supposed to be rain at first turning brighter later. And the temps are around 13c at the moment but getting colder by Sunday.
4:21 am
zoozzoom
And I only have enough sugar for one more cup of tea before I must nip out and buy a bag of sugar :-(
4:22 am
zoozzoom
It is my day off today!
4:22 am
rubyfoo
It's probably 13 IN the house . l have an extra kilo for you! lol
4:23 am
zoozzoom
Do you not have your fire going? And I will nip round and grab that kilo of sugar then, Ruby...open the door for me and keep the dogs at bay lol
4:26 am
rubyfoo
The fire refused to "take" but l'm wearing 3 sweaters, wrapped in two blankets and have the little space heater
4:26 am
rubyfoo
atmy feet. Not so bad
4:27 am
rubyfoo
Door is open for you and th dogs would love you!
4:28 am
zoozzoom
That is good to know you are staying warm.
4:29 am
rubyfoo
There's no Wind, which makes a big difference in this drafty house.
4:30 am
rubyfoo
L'm needing a nap, zuddely<<; <bye...........^
4:30 am

Yes I can relate to that this is anewish house but it is so drafty.

I agree with what you said, Ru. It doesn't have to get nasty if you honor that someone has a different opinion. And you can say what you want about the politicians, but not about those who support them.
