1:02 am

KIMMYDEE

Diz kicked some butt on this grid sans clues - yay for granny :)

1:21 am

gapeach

Oh, sammysmom, I remember that.

1:40 am

sprite

good morning all

1:42 am

gapeach

Hi there, sprite. How are you feeling today?

1:44 am

sprite

*hugs peach* Hello dear one! I am okay, pain still manageable and not too bad energy levels. How are you holding up today?

1:47 am

grannyrose

yoohoo !! g'day peach....g'day sprite.... hugs by the armful for you both. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

1:47 am

gapeach

The pollen is in full swing...otherwise, I have felt worse.....so guess I shouldn't complain.....now you have a legit reason to just take it easy. I know you will be so happy when you have all of your strength back.....and you will.

1:47 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend. How has your day been and how are you doing?

1:48 am

gapeach

Hey, rose! Hugs back attcha.

1:49 am

grannyrose

i have taken it very quietly for most of the day, honey. weather is warming up AGAIN.... i did clean our bathroom.... but in stages *grin*

1:49 am

sprite

ugh at the pollen :( Not at all pleasant. Glad to hear you are not feeling at your worst atm. I hope things will improve more though! And you can complain, if you need to vent. Very healthy to do so, every now and again.

1:50 am

sprite

yeah, I'll be happy as a clam when I'll be able to walk a little again, hoping for ... not at all sure of the english phrasing... plaster you are allowed to put your weight on so you can walk.

1:51 am

sprite

good girl rose! You are doing so great, honey, learning to pace yourself that way. Not easy, I know. Yay for the bathroom, blech for the heat, and hugs for you.

1:51 am

gapeach

Yes, and when did the doctors say they would be able to put you in some plaster casts?

1:52 am

gapeach

need to find food.....back a little later....

1:53 am

grannyrose

walking cast is the term you are looking for. usually has a little rubber heel on it so you don't slip. but you will still need crutches of some sort as you will be only partially weight-bearing.

1:54 am

sprite

not sure yet, peach. I have to go back to the hospital next week. They will remove the stitches, check the ankle and decide if I get plaster to walk on, or the other kind and instructions not to put weight on the ankle for another 4 weeks.

1:54 am

sprite

ah right, walking cast. Thanks honey

1:55 am

grannyrose

i have seen a sort of seated scooter thingy. you can kneel on the seat and scoot with your good foot.

1:55 am

sprite

yeah, but partially weightbearing will be such an upgrade from this :) Hoping and praying. I really really want to be allowed to put some weight on it. It will help me balance, if nothing else.

1:56 am

sprite

ohhhhh that would be awesome. I was thinking of something like that, didn't know it already exists. Of course, it probably won't be available in the netherlands yet.

1:56 am

grannyrose

*giggle* do you remember when the surgeon sent me home on crutches, and i fell over in the laundry? poor don... he didn't know which bit of me to touch. me ? i was laughing hysterically.

1:57 am

grannyrose

check it out at your chemist or where ever you would hire such aids.

1:59 am

sprite

lol yeah I remember. Nope, not available here yet. Ah well, I will make do with crutches later on. For now, the walking rack and wheelchair will suffice.

1:59 am

grannyrose

just checked...called a knee walker or a walker scooter

2:00 am

sprite

yeah. I found them. Just not here yet.

2:02 am

sprite

I can order one to have it imported, but I would need to buy it then. Pretty silly to buy something I will only need for a couple of weeks. It's okay, honey, I have all I need.

2:04 am

grannyrose

hmmm..... what about trying at a physio clinic?

2:06 am

sprite

am due back at the hospital on march 6th. If no walking cast then, I will try that.

2:08 am

grannyrose

try at the hospital then .

2:09 am

sprite

did I tell you the leg of the caravan table broke off? We ordered a new one, was delivered yesterday, I thought... turns out they made an error while packing and we got someone else's order. Sigh. So there we go again.

2:09 am

sprite

will do, sweetie.

2:11 am

grannyrose

good heavens..... how damned inconvenient...

2:13 am

sprite

just called them. What would be your first word after hearing you messed up so badly?

2:13 am

grannyrose

i'd start with i'm sorry

2:14 am

sprite

me too. Not them. He is gonna fix it, that he promised, but not a single sorry. Ass.

2:15 am

grannyrose

hummmph.

2:15 am

sprite

yeah. It is so silly. Even with a screw-up like this, with a heartfelt sorry he'd take away my bad feelings. Now, I am not ever gonna use his store again in future.

2:16 am

grannyrose

brb.... phone call

2:16 am

sprite

all good, honey

2:17 am

sprite

still 45 words to go so will be here for a while, lol

2:18 am

grannyrose

s'okay. begging call and don is trying to tell them we are already supporting a very similar organisation.

2:20 am

sprite

lol, it was so very cold this morning... Rob went out of bed and turned on the heater... went back to bed. I opened my eyes and said: Shouldn't you close the roof hatch before turning on the heat? He'd totally forgotten to close it for the evening and night, lol.

2:21 am

grannyrose

lolll.... no wonder it was so cold....

2:21 am

sprite

indeed. And lots of mosquitos.

2:22 am

grannyrose

ugh.... hate mozzies.... that high-pitched whine drives me nuts....

2:22 am

sprite

poor man, it is all a little too much for him. Today, he has a meeting at work about which other jobs he might be eligible for in te organisation

2:25 am

sprite

oh me too! The stings, mwah, I can accept those. But that whine. Ughhhhhh.

2:25 am

grannyrose

sounds interesting... does he have any idea of what they are going to offer him?

2:26 am

sprite

no, this meeting is with someone whose job it is to figure out the possibilities. We will see. Rob's new manager is much much better than the last one and is gonna help as much as she can, so I am a little more positive things will work out for Rob.

2:29 am

grannyrose

so glad that the new manager is better. then again, anybody would be better than the last so-and-so. he must start to feel better in himself when a manager thinks she can do things for him... and that he is worthy of her attempts to help him.

2:30 am

sprite

very true, he does

2:33 am

sprite

phantom: whatsoever

2:35 am

grannyrose

phantom of phantoms i say... loll

2:35 am

sprite

*giggles*

2:39 am

grannyrose

nearly dinner time honey. i must go and see what he's up to.

2:40 am

sprite

okay dear friend. *hugs* and lots of love for the both of you. Enjoy your dinner and evening.

2:41 am

grannyrose

thanx honey. luvsya. glad we were able to chat for a bit. xoxox

10:34 pm

dofith

Having a giggle about sp 6/24 - I see in the chat some babblers saying they would never wear the garment; here, they are known as "budgie smugglers"!

11:04 pm

rururocks

Or squirrel smugglers

11:09 pm

MPittore

Lol the beach will never be the same for me!

11:20 pm

KIMMYDEE

they call them nut smugglers where I come from....

11:21 pm

KIMMYDEE

which seems more forward than the other terms....

11:21 pm

harpjane

44 to go

11:31 pm

rururocks

Squirrels. Nuts. Same thing i guess

11:32 pm

KIMMYDEE

Nope

11:32 pm

rururocks

Well squirrels are always after nuts. ?

11:33 pm

KIMMYDEE

Squirrels hide the nuts

11:34 pm

harpjane

th5/14?

11:35 pm

rururocks

Then they are nutjobs ...

11:35 pm

KIMMYDEE

lol - what a solid conversation

11:36 pm

KIMMYDEE

essentially - yes. Nut jobs :)

11:36 pm

rururocks

Or maybe the nuts are shell-shocked?

11:37 pm

KIMMYDEE

that could always happen - you never know.

11:37 pm

KIMMYDEE

it is a risk

11:40 pm

KIMMYDEE

I'll have to bring it up in my next conversation with men if they wear squirrel smugglers or not just to see what their reaction is. ;)

11:43 pm

harpjane

he6? either one?

11:45 pm

KIMMYDEE

I've nothing - I'm just here for the nuts.

11:45 pm

Gillie

Both are based on the preceding he5/22. Rhymes with something that a person with asthma might do, or someone who's been running hard.

11:45 pm

harpjane

i found it thanks

11:46 pm

harpjane

but I could use th5/14?

LucyV

th5/14 is a type of insect

11:47 pm

Gillie

Ends with a tear (e.g. in cloth).

11:47 pm
