hi sweetie, I am okay. Did a bit too much yesterday so am in a lot of pain. But today should be a lot easier, just pumpkin soup to make.
1:50 am
sprite
and how are you and Don?
1:51 am
grannyrose
still a bit puffy, and Don still coughing.
1:52 am
grannyrose
sorry to see you are in so much pain. glad you are going to have an easier day though.
1:53 am

I cooked for two days though, so tonight it is very easy. Tomorrow we go to Tim's new home, family day. And we will stay the night!
1:54 am
grannyrose
ooh. nice. is this the first time in the new house?
1:54 am
sprite
oh, we have such a fun present for them! We made them a junk drawer starter kit. Rob went to the thrift shop to get old things, and we had such fun putting it together.
1:55 am
sprite
yes, first time. I am also bringing a symbolic gift of salt, bread, wine, candle, matches and heat pads.
1:55 am
grannyrose
lol... what a brilliant idea!
1:56 am
grannyrose
lol at the junk drawer, not the symbolic gift.
1:56 am
sprite
no home is complete without a junk drawer :D
1:58 am
sprite
and no van dijk junk drawer is complete without balloons and .... what is that called in english? A bubbler? Soap water with a thingy in it through which you blow and then you get soap bubbles
1:59 am
grannyrose
i know. except the only two drawers still in my kitchen are filled with useful things like cutlery, and small cooking tools. we have a junk shelf, only it isn't really. it's the shelf with my recipe books etc on it, and Don found that if he pushed my books all the way back, there was shelf space for him to put things.
2:00 am
sprite
lolol yeah that is what happens if you do not have a proper junk drawer! I know for sure that Lisa does NOT have a junk drawer. So we put it all into an old tin box, they do not have to empty one of their very organised and neat drawers
2:01 am

are you sometimes amazed at words it won't allow??
6:09 am
MollyL
Not any more. The Enable Word List is obsolete. It hasn't been updated in over 20 years and the words it does recognize are haphazard. Some French, not all French, etc.
7:13 am

Id like to get hold of it and give it a good shake!

7:19 am

I'd have to get rid of all the 'unenglish/US' words! That would cut it down a bit!
7:23 am

and the 'archaic scots'!
7:31 am
Deeha
and the proper nouns like Pele- the only pele I can find is a footballer! Right getting of my high horse now - plenty of washing up to do!!
7:43 am
MollyL
Well then I would get rid of all the unenglish UK words😊
7:44 am
MollyL
pele...a small square defensive tower of a kind built in the 16th century in the border counties of England and Scotland
7:46 am

And technically they are all English since they have been incorporated into English dictionaries.

the al 6/24 I have is similar to the st pastry
5:25 pm
hokie carla
too many combos to get 24 points
5:25 pm
cybernan
there is an al 6-7 that I don't have either
5:25 pm
hokie carla
those have to be from the lower then
5:25 pm
cybernan
I think so
5:25 pm
hokie carla
because I don't have them but just need one from the top
5:28 pm
hokie carla

5:33 pm
ChampFit
al + vowel + de4/5
5:33 pm
hokie carla
