Bonjour

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) how is it going?

3:54 am

rubyfoo

Coolsun is shingbut they're predicting stormsin the afternoon.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

55zzoozz))

3:54 am

zoozzoom

Supposed to be kay here for the next few days!

3:54 am

zoozzoom

okay*

3:55 am

rubyfoo

Would you like me to send you some books. Many are slim, often uncorrected proofs.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

My sister's husband was a critic and l just can't read to many.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

too*

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Aww that is very kind of you, Ruby. But I should be okay. i have a new one coming to day in fact!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

She keeps sending more, but it is too expensive for her to keep sending them but l have (literally) hundredsof books and nobody here reads English.

3:57 am

zoozzoom

I am reading an awful series by Marcel Proust. I was told it was excellent but I am finding it a chore to read.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

l'm talking about send you MANY! My house is so full of stuff that it's overwhelming!

3:58 am

zoozzoom

I think it is too intellectual for me lol

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I read some of Proust in college, but it required too much concentration and, sadly, it never "gripped" me.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

Too difficult and impossible in French!

4:00 am

zoozzoom

I do not like the ay he will describe a tree that he saw but it reminded him of one in another place then another place then another place and so on by the time he has finished describing that I have forgotten what the hell he was talking about in the first place. He does that all the way through.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

Many of the books l could send you are short novels and maybe a couplemight pique your interest.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

lt's all i can do in a day, to play a few games, read the New York Times, eat as much as l can ad try to stay warm

4:03 am

zoozzoom

I would like that, ruby. But feel it will be a lot of trouble to pick them up. i am never here when the postman/woman arrives then I would have to go about six miles to the depot to collect them. I only have a bike LOL And it is way out the way in astupid place that it suited to cars.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

l felt the same way about Proust. There was another major book in,severalparts, highly recommendedby second husband, "A Man Without Qualties". Waaay above my head!

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Well it is supposed to be warming up a bit so lets hope you can stay warm easier soon, Ruby.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Not heard of that book.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

If you can think of aplacel could send them by mailorby UPS, you'd be doing mea favor. What about sending them to your parents' house, or even one or two (they're slim) bynregular post?

4:06 am

zoozzoom

I am waiting for a book called "short british stories"

4:07 am

zoozzoom

I waited in yesterday but no show so that was one day my sister had to go round and do parents meals. And i have to do the same again and my sister has to go round again to do the meals. It is not fair on her as she has a family to look after. I do feel guilty.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

I don't mind doing that but I know for a fact my dad would hit the roof giving their address to someone they do not know. Even if I told them I know the person. He is a very stubborn stuck in his way guy. He does not trust anyone!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

He needn't worry -- toddling up to the mailbox takes all the energy l have!

4:13 am

rubyfoo

Does regularmail get delivered to your house?

4:13 am

rubyfoo

swat

4:13 am

rubyfoo

sorry

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Yes normal mail gets delivered. anything bigger than a CD and they will knock on the door.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Already had that word.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

I have one seven but need one more.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

I am down to 22 words left to find and struggling here.

4:15 am

zoozzoom

zoozzoom

Yep that is the one I have!

4:16 am

ivesy3

4:16 am

rubyfoo

Ah okay thank you, Ivesy!

4:16 am

rubyfoo

hi ivesy

4:17 am

ivesy3

hi ruby

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Oh my I had the root word but did not PT it! Thank you both.

4:18 am

MollyL

Darn those Old English words
: D

4:19 am

zoozzoom

There are too many of them, Molly lol

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Good morning, Molly

4:19 am

MollyL

I think because the Bible made "swaddle" famous, we all tend to think of that one

4:20 am

rubyfoo

New English is hard enough. l have 80 words, nbt and nbs, and slim chance of finding more

4:22 am

rubyfoo

l think in terms of sw****** of wildflowers (weeds) in the garden

4:23 am

zoozzoom

I am down to 20 words but as usual i am getting one of each left on a tile. Except the As I always struggle with the A words.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

l love (NOT) when people talk about how ea**y a grid is.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Must admit it is very rare for to find any drid easy. Some are easier than others but I seem to never find them easy.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Grid* noy drid.

4:26 am

MollyL

I am not on the level of the word geniuses who solve these things in record time. That is why I don't read the flip if I happen to be up then. Plus all the cluing that goes on.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

Are they listing or just whizzes?

4:28 am

zoozzoom

No idea, Ruby. I just play the game how I want to and let the speedy babblers get on with it lol

4:28 am

MollyL

No way of knowing who looks at the list and who doesn't.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

l'm just happy to jump in and do what l can and see if any friends are here.

4:28 am

MollyL

Speedy Babblers. That sounds like a BBC show like Peaky Blinders. : D

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Never seen peaky blinders but I know it just won an award.

4:29 am

zoozzoom

I thinnk it won a BAFTA.

4:30 am

MollyL

I have discovered that just because a show won an award doesn't mean I'm going to like it.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

lt's a pleasure to see friendly chats, share the weather report, ask about neutral subjects.

4:30 am

zoozzoom

Oh I agree with that, Molly.

4:31 am

MollyL

There are certain shows that people rave about. Then I will try them and be like "what?"

4:31 am

Jivingjenny0

please could i have a clue for he at7

4:31 am

rubyfoo

And Irish friend recommended Peaky Blinders, but l couldn't understand what they were saying; they might as well have been speaking Chinese!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

non-believer

4:31 am

Jivingjenny0

*the

4:32 am

MollyL

clue for at7 at 4:15

4:32 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks ruby

4:32 am

zoozzoom

For me personally I have never understood why so many people loved faulty towers. I just do not get it.

4:32 am

Sam Snead

First series of Peaky Blinders was terrific I thought although pretty violent. But the Brummy accent takes some getting used to!

4:34 am

rubyfoo

Especially with comédies, when actors speak fast, often with accents, l neve rget it

4:34 am

zoozzoom

I did not know there was more than one series LOL

4:34 am

rubyfoo

What's "brummy"?

4:34 am

Sam Snead

I think Fawlty Towers improves with watching. I find it funnier now than ever.

4:34 am

Sam Snead

Birmingham.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

thanks

4:35 am

Sam Snead

not the one in Alabama!

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Accent of Birmingham residents.

4:35 am

MollyL

I didn't know that term either Ruby

4:35 am

Sam Snead

Voted the most unattractive regional accent in the UK.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

l don't understand French comédies, either.

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Liverpool people have a liverpudlian accent.

4:37 am

zoozzoom

I bet they were pleased, Sam!

4:37 am

rubyfoo

l have an American accent in French, but my friends and helpers here don't seem to mind.

4:38 am

Sam Snead

Don't know how "scientific" the study was but the accent is generally considered rather downbeat & ugly even by a lot of Brummies.

4:38 am

MollyL

When I use the Gaelic pronunciation site I always have it set to SLOW. Irish people tend to talk really fast as well.

4:38 am

zoozzoom

I like the American accent. there are some regions that are a bit strong though and hard to understand.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

Especially since none of them speak English. My helper have learned various profanities from me.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Oh Irish talk can be very fast and difficult to understand.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

My US accent is very neutral;it only took a year of corrective speech at university to get rid of my NY accent

4:39 am

zoozzoom

LOL , Ruby naughty lady.

4:40 am

MollyL

I used to have a neighbor with a really thick Irish accent. When I listened to him, I smiled and nodded a lot, not getting most of what he said.

4:40 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:40 am

rubyfoo

Saddled with a pronounced local accent, it is very hard to advance career-wise.

4:40 am

MollyL

I always hoped he wasn't talking about a funeral or some sad topic.

4:41 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:42 am

rubyfoo

When movies are too difficult, l just nod off -- expensive nap!

4:42 am

MollyL

Considering the fact that Gaelic is the "language of my people" it really should come easier for me. Alas, it does not

4:42 am

zoozzoom

All the Irish people I got to know seemed to always be happy and friendly.

4:43 am

MollyL

A steady diet of Jameson helps with that, Zoom
: D

4:43 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:44 am

zoozzoom

Aw ruby. at least you got out of the house :-)

4:44 am

rubyfoo

I have close friends from Dublin whokeep a house here and come a couple of times a year and l can understand the mother and daughters, but not the husband AT ALL

4:45 am

MollyL

Depending on which way the wind is blowing, the Irish can be either funny/whimsical...or keening and melodramatic

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Seems like that here on the Isle of Wight, Molly.

4:46 am

rubyfoo

My friend Catherine and l go to the cinema once a month

4:47 am

rubyfoo

Otherwise, l prefer to stay in the house

4:47 am

MollyL

Hah! I'm lucky if I go to the movies once a year. I just find them way overpriced for the experience.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

I have not been for years now. I am told the popcorn pot is about £6 for a small pot!

4:49 am

rubyfoo

l buy lunch, she pays for the movie (and drives!). We've been friends for about 16 years. l'm very fortunate!

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Sounds nice, Ruby!

4:50 am

rubyfoo

She also takes me for my tri-monthly oncologist appt, making sure l understand what had been said.

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Nice to have friends like that, Ruby!

4:51 am

rubyfoo

For all the rest of the medical stuff, they either come to the house (blood tests, shots, drugs) or l take taxis.

4:52 am

zoozzoom

How is all that going, Ruby?

4:53 am

rubyfoo

And in celebration of this weeks great ne*** about my bloodwork, another friend brought me a big bouquet of white peonies

4:54 am

MollyL

That is great. Peonies are lovely.

4:54 am

zoozzoom

Excellent, Ruby!

4:55 am

rubyfoo

My cancer markers dropped 79 pts since 23 April, so it seems the strong chemo is helping to keep this cruel cancer at bay.

4:56 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like all your hard work and positvity is paying dividends, Ruby!

4:56 am

zoozzoom

And you are gaining weight too!

4:56 am

rubyfoo

If we ever have a week of warm weather, my roses and peonies will be splendid

4:58 am

MollyL

We have had a solid week of heavy rain and everything here is a soggy mess

4:59 am

zoozzoom

Right I need to get a bite to eat and wait for the postman and probably be nothing but the wedding on the TV channels. Really nice to see you all and thanks for the chat. Happy babbling everyone!

4:59 am

rubyfoo

With a lot of help from you guys! l'm a robust 45 kg and feelmuch better than l did at 37! Also takng fewer pain meds

5:00 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) you are an inspiration to us all!

5:00 am

MollyL

Wonderful news Ruby. That is a smile. : D

5:07 am

MollyL

Sorry about all the wedding hoo-hah Zoom. I'm one of those people who could care less. It is funny to see so many people at one event wearing dreadful hats though.
: D

5:41 am

MollyL

Or couldn't care less. I always get that one wrong.

5:44 am

MollyL

At least I have not started saying "all of the sudden"
: D

6:49 am

Kate, she is usually here all day giving clues. Must be having wifi connection problems.

3:34 pm

MollyL

*Waves at Dee,,,miss you : D

3:34 pm

Soodle

Oh right. I appreciate Kate's clues. I also envy people who have so much free time they can Babble all day. I seem to have less & less spare time the older I get. If I'm not collecting an offspring from the airport, I'm delivering one there. Before their arrival, I'm changing bedding - after their departure, I'm cleaning up after them. Sometimes it feels like a feckin' circus.

Hello everybody

3:35 pm

Soodle

Ah!!!! How lovely to see you Rubes. Big squashy hugs(((())))

3:36 pm

rubyfoo

((soodle))

3:37 pm

MollyL

I hear you Soodle. I have a somewhat hectic life and being on the computer all day playing word games is not a part of that scenario.

3:37 pm

rubyfoo

l think it's great that the bairns keep coming back to you! And l don't believe you mind your Airport chauffering!

3:37 pm

rubyfoo

lt's true, Kate is always here

3:38 pm

Soodle

so happy to hear you are doing ok healthwise, Rubes.

3:38 pm

rubyfoo

Thanks. l'm feeling surprisingly strong. Hopefully it will last a whilr

3:40 pm

rubyfoo

l've even hired a proper gardener because l intend to make it through next summer, too, and my garden looks like a jungle

3:40 pm

Soodle

And I read that you are practically obese (!).... Lol. Just kidding ... But great to see you're doing well

3:40 pm

periwinkle

hi folks

3:41 pm

rubyfoo

Would you believe that the little holly l planted 19 years ago now has at least 6 babies all over the place.

3:41 pm

Soodle

Hi Peri :-)

3:41 pm

rubyfoo

And is probably 15 ft tall

3:43 pm

Soodle

Ruby, I have a full acre of garden. It's all I can do to keep the wretched grass cut. If I had the €€€€, it would all be slabbed over.

3:43 pm

rubyfoo

An acre? Wow.

3:43 pm

Soodle

Peri. What is the current toenail polish situation?

3:44 pm

periwinkle

there are bare at the moment. waiting til the weather stays consistently warm. thanks for asking :)

3:44 pm

Soodle

Rubes, I hate each & every blade of grass!!!!

3:44 pm

rubyfoo

One of the problems is that since there was Nothing much on the property, l planted all sorts of things without having any idea of what would live or die

3:45 pm

Soodle

Peri, please keep me up to date on any changes :-)

3:46 pm

periwinkle

most definitely, Soodle. my hair on the other hand is a dark ash blonde. I have been coloring it myself since last summer. It will lighten once I wash it a few times tho

3:47 pm

periwinkle

went to a library book sale today and got a large shopping bag full of books for $5.00. most for me but a few for two of my friends.

3:47 pm

Soodle

Oh, I had a hair disaster earlier this month!

3:47 pm

periwinkle

17 books

3:47 pm

periwinkle

what happened?

3:47 pm

rubyfoo

My husband just wanted a lawn and now it's all gone to "wild flowers" (weeds)

3:48 pm

rubyfoo

What kind of hair disaster?

3:48 pm

Soodle

Crows were building nests in the eaves of my house, so I decided to squirt expanding foam into their nesting sites

3:49 pm

rubyfoo

so they made a nest in your hair????

3:49 pm

Soodle

Long story short - expanding foam fell into my hair....whilst still liquid & quickly hardened. Absolute DISASTER

3:50 pm

rubyfoo

aarggggh

3:50 pm

Soodle

LOL Ruby!!!

3:50 pm

periwinkle

was the expanding foam an actual hair product? sounds awful

3:51 pm

rubyfoo

The only side effect from the strong chemo is that my hair has gotten as curly as it was when a was 6!

3:51 pm

Soodle

No no no- expanding foam is a hideous DIY product.... Google it, Peri.

3:52 pm

periwinkle

oh no. Soodle, never heard of it. will check it out now, brb

3:52 pm

rubyfoo

Did you have to chip it out with a Hammer & chisel?

3:53 pm

Soodle

Ha!!! I've never had chemo, (thank God), but menopause has given me ridiculously curly hair.

3:54 pm

Soodle

No Rubes, I had to get it cut out at the hairdressers

3:55 pm

rubyfoo

Your hair always looks great in your photos. l expected mine to fall out, so this has come as a sur^prise. Maybe l'll ge younger, Benjamin Button all over again

3:58 pm

rubyfoo

Good night; lt's sleepy time here

3:58 pm

Soodle

Ha!!!! Wouldn't that be great? A Benjamin Button life.... End your days as an orgasm???

3:58 pm

Soodle

Night Rubes, old pal X

4:04 pm

periwinkle

back,tht must have been some mesh, Soodle, did the hairdresser cut it all off

4:04 pm

periwinkle

it is not a big grid but I am tired.

4:04 pm

periwinkle

not all of your hair, just the parts that were ruined by the foam

4:04 pm

Soodle

And, now that I've scandalised the chog talking about orgasms, I'll tactically retreat!! Sorry (not really sorry) If I offended anybody.

4:06 pm

Soodle

No, Peri.... Just the affected bis. Hair a bit lop-sided at the moment. :-)

4:21 pm

MollyL

People who are offended by orgasms must lead a very boring life. : D
