Rob was born on father's day. This year, his birthday and father's day coincide again :) Double party today.

1:07 am

sprite

squirrel?

1:09 am

grannyrose

oh? we don't celebrate Father's Day until September. so you will be having a big knees up?

1:09 am

sprite

father's day in the netherlands is the 3rd sunday in june. Mother's day is second sunday in may.

1:10 am

ursh

Father's Day here in SA today :)

1:11 am

sprite

well, with all the retirement celebrations, Rob did not want to do much. Caya is cooking dinner tonight and we will eat with the three of us. And some presents. I have arranged for cake.

1:11 am

sprite

hiya ursh! Happy father's day !

1:11 am

grannyrose

hang on. the waiter got my order wrong. he thought i sa4 crackers and cheese, and i sa* crackers and dip. i wish he would use his hearing ai4.

1:13 am

grannyrose

in the US of A too. i wonder why we do it differently?

1:13 am

sprite

you guys are special!

1:14 am

grannyrose

lovely sprite. this is Rob's special year.

1:14 am

grannyrose

*giggle* special or precious?

1:15 am

sprite

both, grin

1:15 am

grannyrose

;-)

1:16 am

sprite

in europe, mother's day is celebrated on lots of different days. A friend of mine works in the flower industry and he basically goes bananas between march and july. Madness.

1:16 am

grannyrose

how about the UK? when do they celebrate the two days?

1:17 am

sprite

same dates as us

1:18 am

sprite

sorry, bbs, nature calls

1:18 am

grannyrose

i still have my flowers from son Simon. i refreshed them other day. they've been going since the second Sunday in May.

1:19 am

grannyrose

s'okay. not going anywhere. i'm on re-charge

1:29 am

sprite

back. That is awesome, rose!

1:32 am

grannyrose

ikr?

1:33 am

sprite

Rob's flowers from the retirement dinner with work are already gone.

1:34 am

grannyrose

what a pity! mind you, where i have the vase is like a refrigerator it's so cold.

1:35 am

sprite

we are having a dutch summer. It is cold everywhere lolol

1:36 am

grannyrose

ugh. any ra*?

1:36 am

grannyrose

jeez i have to be so careful. a lot of everyday words in this grid.

1:37 am

sprite

ra4, hail, storm, temps all over the place from near freezing point to 28C.

1:38 am

grannyrose

good grief! that would be fun trying to organise what to wear... lol... a lot of layers i'm guessing.

1:39 am

sprite

yes, layering is key. And not letting it stop you from doing stuff. I totally ignore the weather, lol. It is what it is.

1:41 am

grannyrose

i can just see it. taking the layers off as the day gets warmer, then putting them all back on in the evening. that would drive me nuts... yeah i know.... that ship has already sailed.

1:42 am

sprite

too late for that, my friend :P
but it wouldn't be so bad if it were like that. The changes are more often, and totally random over the day. One moment you are sitting in the sun feeling like a contented cat. Next, hail comes down, temps drop at least 15 degrees and you are running inside. It is nuts.

1:44 am

grannyrose

crazy weather. are you ready for the next ice age? that's what's next, isn't it?

1:45 am

sprite

we will see. Am not even trying to predict, lol

1:46 am

grannyrose

wooly mammoths running down our main streets...*giggle*

1:46 am

sprite

wooly mammoths wearing parasols, just in case

1:46 am

grannyrose

LOLOLOL

1:47 am

grannyrose

1:48 am

sprite

polka dot bikinis

1:52 am

grannyrose

absolutely

1:53 am

grannyrose

just watching a preview of the slide show for Fred's funeral on Tuesday. such a lovely old man!

1:54 am

grannyrose

photo from 1945. my goodness, what a looker!

1:54 am

sprite

oh wow

1:55 am

grannyrose

he was a submariner in WWII

1:57 am

sprite

one of the many fighting for our freedom

1:58 am

grannyrose

finally. the recharger has moved up to 3 dots. i've been sitting here for nearly 2 hours. my bum is numb..

1:58 am

sprite

sounds like you need a speed charger

1:58 am

grannyrose

he was english, migrated here back in the day.

1:59 am

grannyrose

one more dot to go and i'm fully charged again. *sigh*

2:01 am

grannyrose

when you see the younger pics of him, you can just imagine him jumping through the doorways of a sub. he wasn't much taller than i am.

2:01 am

sprite

that is a plus on a submarine. Man, they are claustrophobic.

2:03 am

grannyrose

my thoughts exactly. very brave guys those submariners. at least on top of the water they had half a chance. but under??

2:03 am

sprite

no chance at all. It would scare me terribly.

2:06 am

sprite

fireflies. *hugs* my darling, and lots of love.
Ursh, have a blessed day and a peaceful night!

2:07 am

grannyrose

have a lovely day my darling. *hugs*

9:20 am

hokie carla

well, I have 4 related from the top, but only 1 from each of the lower ones

9:23 am

9:24 am

periwinkle

id5/12 from the lowest i

9:24 am

hokie carla

that's the one I do have, unless there is another.

9:25 am

hokie carla

9:25 am

9:25 am

9:26 am

hokie carla

oh, found the 5/14, thanks. now HOET.

9:26 am

hokie carla

is dolphin the babblet? I don't know what that means.

9:26 am

hurshy

yeah the babblet

9:27 am

hurshy

it's the amazon river dolphin, it's pink!

9:28 am

hokie carla

I just finished a book where one of the main characters was down there studying the pink dolphins in the amazon, and they never once used that word.

9:29 am

hurshy

well there are like a bunch of different names for it i guess

9:29 am

hurshy

also known as "boto" or "bufeo"

9:29 am

hurshy

but in4 is their scientific genus name

9:30 am

hokie carla

I think this book series is terrible writing, so I'm not surprised. I just thought it was odd that I'd never heard of pink amazonian dolphins and now twice in a week.

9:30 am

hurshy

never ra5 but it pours

9:44 am

hokie carla

ooh, finally found another 8

amelu0218

thank you, nrkii. I would have never monkeyed that.

1:22 pm

MollyL

How do people here know about alpine/Arctic ferns? Are you all members of some kind of botany club?

3:21 pm

rururocks

just someone turning over a new leaf in life likely

3:35 pm

MollyL

Perhaps I was barking up the wrong tree

3:43 pm

rururocks

you could have be just hedging your bets?

3:46 pm

MollyL

Or beating around the bush. (Oh dear, I hope that won't trigger anyone)

3:59 pm

hokie carla

you all need to branch out

4:04 pm

MollyL

I'll go out on a limb and say maybe we don't

4:09 pm

rururocks

all this punning makes me bushed

4:14 pm

rururocks

my guess is if you survey all the people that know about alpine ferns you'd get to the root of the problem.

4:21 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :)

4:22 pm

hokie carla

hey nan

4:22 pm

hokie carla

I'm frond of your punning, ruru

4:31 pm

hokie carla

4:31 pm

rururocks

that's because you have a lot of stamen-a hokie

4:32 pm

rururocks

ha ha shirl.. you're such a pistil

4:33 pm

Shirlockc

4:33 pm

rururocks

now rurr's going to put the petal to the metal

4:34 pm

Shirlockc

budding out already?

4:36 pm

hokie carla

I thought it was just blooming

4:37 pm

rururocks

I was starting to lose tomentum

4:39 pm

Shirlockc

cutting out while the cuttings are good

4:40 pm

rururocks

I'm stumped how to keep on punning actually

4:43 pm

MollyL

*Shrubs shoulders* you will think of something

4:44 pm

rururocks

stop beating around the bushes molly :D

4:47 pm

MollyL

Okay, when we start doing repeats it's time to leave it alone

4:49 pm

hokie carla

about to ring around the rosies

4:53 pm

rururocks

oh I missed the bush thing earlier

4:56 pm

rururocks
