awwww a dutch greeting, how sweet! Morning my darling, how are you recovering from the marriage celebration?

1:39 am

grannyrose

recovering is a good word...lol when you have time later i messaged you via whatsapp

1:40 am

sprite

okay :) I don't see a message yet, though

1:41 am

grannyrose

s'okay. traveling well here. pain doc a tad concerned at how tired i was. he wants me to stay in for a full week.

1:42 am

sprite

I have to say, recovery here takes longer than I thought too. I helped out at school yesterday, then did the grocery shopping. Planned to cook a curry later but I felt awful all of a sudden. So will cook today, feel a little better now.

1:42 am

sprite

very good, re. doc. I think you do need more and more often. Glad he is on the ball.

1:43 am

grannyrose

and when i see him tomorrow i am going to ask him about these capillary bleeds i'm having under the skin. only on my forearms though.

1:44 am

sprite

very good, darling. I need you to be very careful with yourself. Not willing to miss you for a very long ti4 yet

1:44 am

grannyrose

awww honey. i am in tears. no ma6 how i felt, i would be there cooking for you, whatever it took to help you.

1:45 am

sprite

I know, sweetie. The Big Guy slipped up when He placed us on opposite sides of the world.

1:47 am

grannyrose

maybe it's to show the world that love really has no boundaries?? i fly to you everyday. in my mind.

1:47 am

sprite

hmphhhhh okay. Still, He could have shown that with another pair of friends. Just sayin'.

1:50 am

grannyrose

* giggle * and with that i have to tell you my dinner has arrived. will check in la5 to see where you are at, honey

1:50 am

sprite

and yes, you are in my mind and heart every day too. I have my daily giggle whenever I look at the rose picture you gave me, which is standing on the cookie tin with the squirrels on it.

1:51 am

grannyrose

* hugs *

1:53 am

sprite

I would have thrown out the cookie tins long ago, if not for the squirrels and their association with you, lol. Rob threathened to. I quickly put all kinds of stuff into them and said: No, I use them for neat storage, hands off. Also: squirrels. Hands off to the power of tig.

2:08 am

sprite

I shouldn't have mentioned squirrels LOLOL

2:19 am

grannyrose

a rather large squirrel . my dinner arrived.i did tell you at 1:50.

2:20 am

sprite

ahhhh I missed that post! Yes, so you did. Was it good?

2:22 am

grannyrose

yummy. pumpkin soup, then a steak burger in a lovely soft roll. and the steak so tender i almost didn't have to chew.

2:22 am

sprite

sounds delicious. I LOVE pumpkin soup.

2:23 am

grannyrose

so do i. the one i make has some potato in it too so when you puree it, it comes out so thick and smooth.

2:25 am

sprite

I make mine with a bit of onion, garlic and oriental spices. The kids always ask for it when we get together :)

2:28 am

grannyrose

did i tell you i have framed all your beautiful artworks? next spring clean job is the bathroom cupboard with it's annual clean out of old meds, and out-of-date stuff. and then the two bookshelves in our bedsit room. i'm going to re-arrange all the albums so that i can put your lovely work front and centre. i'll take pics when i have finished.

2:28 am

sprite

ohhhhhh wow, that teared me up <3

2:28 am

grannyrose

oriental spices?? sounds lovely. i put in nutmeg and mustard. really gives it a zip.

2:29 am

grannyrose

awww darling. you are so precious to me. i want to surround myself with all " you"

2:30 am

sprite

oh I have to try that! Yes, I put in cumin, coriander (the spice, not the plant!), ginger root, a tiny bit of clove.

2:31 am

sprite

the lovely thing with pumpkins is, they don't need much because they are already so tasty by themselves, but they easily adapt to variations.

2:32 am

sprite

honey, you just wait. I have finished Lauryn's blanket, am now working on the jellyfish cuddle for her (quite the adventure, it is a pattern made by a japanese or russian lady whose english is a bit hit or miss... makes for interesting crocheting!) and once that is done, I go back to working on the squirrel blanket...

2:33 am

grannyrose

noticed that myself. one day, i am going to make a pumpkin pie. find out what it tastes like. have you ever had pumpkin scones? absolutely to die for.

2:33 am

sprite

no, never. Sounds awesome.

2:34 am

sprite

do you have a recipe for the scones? If so, please share :) And I will try them out.

2:34 am

grannyrose

my friend, Kerry, who is such a creative cook. she makes her scones using gingerbeer. oh my. i could make a pig of myself on those.

2:35 am

sprite

omg I need that recipe. I love gingerbeer.

2:36 am

grannyrose

i'll get that recipe for you too. send them via email, where i can copy and paste, or whatever. i'll play around with them.

2:36 am

sprite

through email would be perfect

2:39 am

grannyrose

oh, and coming home from my god-daughter's engagement/wedding party, beside the highway in a rest stop, some enterprising young blokes had set up a fresh fruit stall. i have been munching on fresh peaches and nectarines all week. and at home, waiting for me are a large amount of cherries and raspberries which i'll make into two types of low-joule jam. and the apples!! perfect for dutch apple sauce, yum yum yum.

2:39 am

sprite

fresh fruit is the best.

2:40 am

grannyrose

hang on. i have to ring room service and order supper and breakfast. they close soon.

2:41 am

sprite

sure sweetie, go right ahea

2:41 am

sprite

2:43 am

grannyrose

done and dusted.

2:43 am

sprite

well done

2:44 am

grannyrose

room service is open overnight but only for small snacks and drinks. anything else has to ordered by 8pm.

2:45 am

sprite

still, not bad at all. Such a luxury :)

2:45 am

grannyrose

2:45 am

sprite

2:48 am

2:48 am

sprite

2:48 am

grannyrose

Good morning CRossy!

6:33 am

crosshair

Scrabby!!!:)

6:34 am

Scrabbler

How are you and your elegant wife?

6:36 am

crosshair

We are well. Have more time to hike and travel now that I am amongst the ranks of the retired.

6:37 am

crosshair

However, the flesh is sometimes weaker than the spirit these days. :)

6:38 am

Scrabbler

I retired a year ago. Yes, having free time means using that time well.

6:40 am

crosshair

Not to worry, Scrabby, my Elegant has a "honey-do" list that should easily see me to my grave and beyond.

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Haha. I need to call my handyman.

6:42 am

crosshair

I bet my love has a list she is going to bury me with that says "in case your get resurrected..."

6:42 am

Scrabbler

Unending, huh?

6:43 am

crosshair

Yup--circle of life--carpet, furniture, paint.

6:44 am

Scrabbler

Plumbing, electricity, ...

6:44 am

crosshair

Landscaping...

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, outdoors

6:45 am

crosshair

Good thing we rent, otherwise she would have me add another floor or something.

6:46 am

Scrabbler

Does your landlord give you a break on rent for improvements?

6:46 am

crosshair

Lol--no.

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Not fair. You are doing his/her job.

6:47 am

crosshair

The market is so very tight now that most just tip-toe around their unit quietly and try not to attract attention.

6:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes, rents have increased a lot in the last few years. Even a one-bedroom apartment is $1000 here. With a good credit score. Add a dog and it is really difficult.

6:49 am

crosshair

In my town a "fixer-upper" two bed, one bathroom home 🏠 s hovering around $700.000.00. so renter don't make waves.

6:49 am

Scrabbler

Yikes.

6:49 am

LuvWordGames

Phantom military

6:50 am

Scrabbler

Yes, there it is, LWG.

6:50 am

crosshair

Yup. A nice turn-key, two bed one and a half bath sit around $850K

6:51 am

Scrabbler

The house next to my parents' home, 3 bedroom, one bathroom, sold for $340, 000 in the summer. We are cleaning out our parents' home for sale.

6:52 am

crosshair

At 340K your home would case an instant bidding war here.

6:52 am

crosshair

Cause

6:53 am

Scrabbler

Same here. I know sellers that are getting $50-100K extra from bidding wars.

6:53 am

Scrabbler

It's the poor that are struggling with housing the most. So sad.

6:54 am

crosshair

Several homes recently listed here in the $500K range went over by at least another $100K

6:55 am

Scrabbler

Buyers are desperate.

6:55 am

crosshair

Now we have corporations buying homes in bulk and renting them out which tightens the market even more.

6:55 am

Scrabbler

Bad.

6:56 am

crosshair

Yes, we had to place a moratorium on Chinese investors doing this very thing.

6:56 am

Scrabbler

Is low-rent housing available?

6:57 am

crosshair

It is rarer that hens teeth. Last I heard the wait time was four years.

6:57 am

Scrabbler

That's terrible.

6:58 am

crosshair

So, sadly, all is not perfect in the land of Universal healthcare. :(

6:59 am

Scrabbler

No, I hear stories about the health care. If H5N1 (bird flu) truly becomes a pandemic then health care everywhere will collapse.

7:01 am

crosshair

We have had a "brain drain" for many years when it comes to medical. U.S recruiters literally sit on the steps outsides the universities on graduation day to snipe nurses.

7:03 am

crosshair

Happened to my siter-in-law. Ink was not even dry on her degree and a Texas recruiter offered her a car, furnished apartment, and travel expenses.

7:03 am

Scrabbler

I know 2 local Canadian docs that came here after residency to set up their practice.

7:03 am

Scrabbler

Those offers are tough to turn down.

7:04 am

Scrabbler

I have no K words. Where are they?

7:04 am

crosshair

My brother degree was useless by comparison, so he stayed home with the kids till they were ready for school

7:05 am

Scrabbler

I have 2 now.

7:05 am

crosshair

I cannot fix nd them either

7:05 am

crosshair

Find

7:05 am

Scrabbler

That saved on day care which is very expensive.

7:05 am

crosshair

Would have been $12k/ year

7:06 am

crosshair

Brb. Pups need to pee.

7:15 am

crosshair

Be back later. Have some Babble blindness going on. Must reset the eyes. Nice chatting, Scrabby; you have a great day. :)

7:16 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway so I am done. Enjoy the day.

7:45 am

rururocks

halfway isn't done really

8:00 am

hokie carla

8:01 am

hurshy

no, i don't really like feta at all

4:28 pm

moolingwa

:)

4:28 pm

hurshy

it's got more of a weird kick to it than a lot of goat cheeses

4:28 pm

moolingwa

how do you feel about sheep cheese?

4:29 pm

hurshy

i don't think i've had it, or at least don't recall what it is like

4:29 pm

hurshy

i don't know which one the feta i've had was made of - maybe sometimes one and sometimes the other!

4:30 pm

moolingwa

I like cheese enough, but sometimes by body doesn't like the cheese :)

4:31 pm

hurshy

i guess i'm lucky i'm fine with it!

4:31 pm

hurshy

although goat cheese doesn't have lactose like cow milk/cheeses do, right?

4:31 pm

hurshy

or is it something other than the lactose

4:31 pm

hurshy

phantom: falter

4:32 pm

moolingwa

as I understand it, cheese in general doesn't have a lot of lactose

4:32 pm
