1:25 am

sprite

hello darling *hugs* and a hello back to hursh

1:27 am

sprite

how are you doing?

1:28 am

grannyrose

busy, busy day here. this weekend is my god-daughters engagement party. in lieu of a mum, she has me. lol. so packing a bag for the weekend, and most of my packing for admission on Monday. we won't be home until Sunday afternoon.

1:28 am

sprite

oh wow! She is lucky to have you

1:29 am

grannyrose

plus it being Wednesday, it's wash day, and clean the bathrooms day.

1:29 am

grannyrose

how are you doing day two post day out?

1:30 am

sprite

kind of okay. Sad though. I had to realise that a friend was never that... just a user.

1:32 am

grannyrose

just have to remake the bed, and i am done. tomorrow is warm water pool day, then Friday is the outreach morning tea, followed by gym. so looking forward to Monday.

1:32 am

sprite

busy week

1:32 am

grannyrose

oh darling. so sorry to see that. such a betrayal of trust isn't it?

1:33 am

sprite

very. I tell myself I did not lose a friend, just an illusion, but it still hurts

1:33 am

grannyrose

gentle hugs sweetheart. and peace for your sore heart.

1:34 am

sprite

thank you. It is Hilde, the one from zentangle. So that makes it doubly complicated, it is a small world.

1:35 am

grannyrose

awwww..... that is so hard to bear.

1:36 am

sprite

but Rob and Caya are very supportive and have confirmed for me that it is not me being dramatic. That does help.

1:37 am

grannyrose

love their work. and you are never dramatic. you have to be one of the most level-headed people i know.

1:38 am

sprite

and her husband sent me a lovely text saying he understood my decision and to thank me for all I have done for them.

1:38 am

sprite

thanks darling! THat is a lovely compliment!

1:39 am

grannyrose

oh wow ! i hope he can talk some sense into her. teach her how to treat friends well.

1:41 am

sprite

yeah, has to be a tough situation for him. He and I were good friends too. I wish we could stay close. But it is just not done, being close to someone's husband without being close to them as well.

1:42 am

grannyrose

i hear you. very distressing when one half of a couple is a friend, and the other you could cheerfully strangle.

1:43 am

sprite

lol, guess I am not the strangling type, I am not even that mad at her. Just so very disappointed. And a bit mad at myself for investing so much in a relationship that was not okay.

1:44 am

sprite

fireflies :)

1:44 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!

1:45 am

hey hurshy

12:28 pm

12:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

there's not a particular name for the Friday evening meal that I can think of, except Friday evening meal

1:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, that was a stretch- it left a whole letter out and has a different meaning, but that was a good starting clue

2:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

it means "a foot defense of mail or of a number of lames with solid toe and heel pieces."

4:20 pm

origami

It really is akin to drunk and disorderly or harrassment

4:20 pm
