12:55 am

very good, some recovery time much needed, methinks!
12:55 am
grannyrose
how was your night? not too bumpy??
12:56 am
grannyrose
just the warm water pool tomorrow afternoon
12:56 am
sprite
no, was reasonable. So how are you feeling now?
12:57 am
grannyrose
still a little twitchy, and achy. not needed to take endone so that is a plus.
12:58 am
sprite
definitely a good thing if you can manage with rest etc.
12:59 am
grannyrose
next week starting to fill up. but it is school hols he4, so no gym. will use my own equipment and do my program at home.
1:00 am
grannyrose
we are both booked in for eye check ups, and i have an ultra sound booked to check the nodules in my thyroid.
1:00 am
sprite
very good. And let the week not fill up too much. Downtime is just as important. (look at me, having learned a life lesson at almost 59)
1:00 am
grannyrose
as the actress said to the bishop
1:03 am
grannyrose
our new neighbours decided to dig up my friend's garden. ( the lady who put herself into a care home. she was a leading permaculturist, and had the loveliest of gardens) fortunately Don gave me a heads up early enough for me to go out and ask if i could have the liliums etc that they were going to throw away.
1:04 am
sprite
omg... some people!
1:05 am
grannyrose
ikr?? they have no idea what they have done.
1:06 am
grannyrose
she used to open her garden to the public every year. people came all around just to talk to her, and see what she had done.
1:06 am
sprite
one thing for sure, they would not have been able to give it the love and attention it needs anyway, so better they break it down now and let you have some treasures, than slowly letting it die
1:07 am
grannyrose
true that. i hope i'm around to see their faces when the bluebells etc break through their precious neat and tidy garden...lol
1:09 am
grannyrose
my friend has so many bulbs planted out. all different flowers... and they haven't dug deep enough to dredge them out. just scraped the surface.
1:10 am
sprite
oh, that will be the gift that keeps on giving. Bulbs, especially ones that have been there for a long time, will come back for years to come
1:11 am
grannyrose
i know. it will be a losing battle for them ( the new people ).
1:12 am
sprite
I used to love seeing our bulbs rise up from the darkness. As early as february for the snowdrops. And onwards until far into spring. Sometimes, a silly tulip got its wires crossed and popped up in autumn.
1:13 am
grannyrose
i love that too. sometimes i forget what's where. such a lovely surprise in spring.
1:14 am

we framed my steampunk drawings! Rob is going to hang it, once it hangs, I will send you a pic. They look so amazing now :D
1:17 am
grannyrose
i'll look forward to that. i'm just loving your Zentangles.
1:18 am
sprite
:) it is such fun to do. If I had had access to this artform as a child, I would have walked a very different path in life for sure
1:18 am
grannyrose
oh i forgot to tell you. i was looking through cousin Anne's photo albums, and there was me at about age 5, as part of the Drummond group photo. and my mother, pregnant with my brother.
1:19 am
sprite
oh and if you want to sound professional about it... the artform is called Zentangle. The verb is to tangle. The patterns we use are called tangles. And a finished work is a tile.
1:19 am
sprite
you told me! So precious, a baby rose!
1:19 am
grannyrose
ahem... i stand corrected.
1:20 am
grannyrose
oh i did??? was i awake at the time?
1:35 am

1:39 am

so what's for dinner today?
1:40 am
grannyrose
goodness only knows. whatever Don pulls out of the freezer.
1:41 am
sprite
ah wonderful. Best dinners in the world, the ones you do not have to think up yourself. Or prepare. :D
1:41 am
grannyrose
how about you folks? whose turn is it to cook?
1:43 am
sprite
Rob does most of the cooking. We will see. Might be smart about it and find him a good recipe, lol...
1:44 am
grannyrose
i had fish coated in breadcrumbs and parmesan then grilled. lots of vegs too.
1:44 am
sprite
sounds awesome
1:44 am
grannyrose
hmm. that was last night... i think my brain is still on holiday
1:48 am
grannyrose
have just finished the 'naughty' crackers. tomorrow i start with the crispbreads, low fat. sigh. but i am going to give this my best shot. i simply must lose this internal fat.
1:49 am
sprite
my brain does not accept the DLS change. I am still miffed the plans to abandon it fell when the government did, some years back.
1:50 am
sprite
brave girl! I might join you in your efforts. Rob has to lose weight and things are much easier when we both eat healthy and do not snack... sigh.
1:50 am
grannyrose
it's hard isn't it? you just want to turn over and go back to sleep.
1:51 am
sprite
the summer change is the hardest. Getting up before I am awake, eating before I am hungry, going to bed before I am sleepy. Stupidest thing ever, DLS.
1:52 am
grannyrose
my dietician has given me just three things to change. 99% fat free yoghurt with home cooked low cal fruit, hard boiled eggs x 2 per day, and these crispbreads with tomato and/or salmon or tuna for snacks. that's all he wants me to change thus far.
1:53 am
grannyrose
oh and hard cheese only.
1:53 am
sprite
that is pretty good.
1:53 am
grannyrose
* sniff * bye bye brie and camembert
1:54 am
sprite
yeah but those are pure fat, lol. Those can only be treats once in a blue moon.
1:54 am
grannyrose
oh, and substitute butter and margarine with avocado.
1:55 am
sprite
ugh, avocado
1:56 am
grannyrose
do you have access to spreads made from nuts? and not margarine or oils?
1:56 am
grannyrose
we have one called Nutlex. supposed to be all plant based.
1:57 am
sprite
rob cannot eat nuts, honey
1:58 am
grannyrose
i just checked. nuttlex no nuts, just plant based as in sunflower oil.
2:00 am
grannyrose
do you want me to send my dietician's suggestions via whatsapp?
2:00 am
sprite
we will figure it out. Always have to be on the alert for all the things Rob cannot have, or he will end up with gout attacks
2:07 am

11:12 am

in the great depression the average annual income was around 32% of the price of a house and now it's 19%. so it is harder to afford a house now than during the great depression.
11:14 am

ty hurshy, important to know
11:15 am

I can't sell, of course, because anything we might find will be that much more expensive also

8:27 pm
hokie carla
I wouldn't know with what, but thanks
8:27 pm
hokie carla

hokie carla
I have de9
8:29 pm
penquis
there are two sets ... DE 8/9 and DE 8/9....both real words that build on previous words...
8:29 pm
penquis
the second pair is a little awkward...not usually spoken or written....they are "one who" words...
8:30 pm
hokie carla
that's the one I have
8:31 pm
penquis
so the other pair is the people that Trump guys are sending out of the country....
8:31 pm
penquis
not really a "one who" but a "one to whom" something is done...
8:31 pm
hokie carla
oh, I tried that twice as one who does
8:32 pm
hokie carla
just going to list now
8:32 pm
penquis
there is also a do 8/9....
8:34 pm
hokie carla
that's kinda dumb
8:35 pm
penquis
very...but it is in the dictionary, just not the definition i expected....
8:35 pm
hokie carla
lol, thanks for making me look
8:36 pm
hokie carla
"I don't think that word means what you think it means"
8:39 pm
hokie carla
well, definitely easy list finish
8:40 pm
penquis
yes, for sure...the layout of this grid and the number of Es made it tricky, I think....
8:41 pm
penquis
congrats...i am heading out....goodnight all....
8:45 pm
hokie carla
