Hey everyone, I've had to move clues to a different location due to it starting to cost me and I found a free way to do it that actually seems to be quicker and better performing. I do need to make one change to stop a prompt about some of the site not being secure - but i want to wait until I hear if anyone has any issues. Please let me know if there is any feedback.

12:33 am

cybernan

nodding off here -- good night :)

12:33 am

Lizlin

Worked well for me. Much easier than recently. Thanks

12:33 am

licketySplitAUS

And sending lots of love to anyone in the CA area

12:35 am

Lizlin

As Lickety said - hope everyone in CA is safe.

12:36 am

ursh

Phew - how awful for CA - lots of prayers from SA

12:38 am

deanoz

lickety, site opens immediately for me and no issues at all. thank you!

12:40 am

ursh

clues open for me - just the secure message pops up

12:41 am

sprite

Lickety, I did get a prompt to ask me if I wanted to only see secure info, I answered NO and now I can see the clues in the lickety browser, so no problem.

12:41 am

sprite

morning, babblers

12:52 am

licketySplitAUS

Thanks sprite - yes it doesn't seem to matter if you hit yes or no - it still works. I hope to remove that error tomorrow.

12:53 am

sprite

I don't mind hitting that button, as long as it works after :) THanks for all the clues, every day!

1:11 am

grannyrose

good morning darling sprite. how are you this day?

1:12 am

sprite

hello my darling *hug* I am okay, bit under the weather but nothing worrisome. Rob's hand is improving. Had it checked yesterday, they run his inflammation values and they were fine. How about you?

1:12 am

sprite

run = ran

1:14 am

grannyrose

i am actually breathing normally ... for me. Don however has had Aspergillosis. he has finished with the intravenous antibiotics, and now has two different oral antibiotics. i totally blame that wretched gardiner who mowed and line trimmed after he was told not to do so.

1:15 am

sprite

sorry for Don :( That is not fun. Good to hear you are getting the oxygen you need though :P

1:16 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

1:17 am

grannyrose

he is still coughing every now and again. he tries to lie down to sleep, but has ended up in the recliner for the night thus far. i am sleeping like the proverbial baby.

1:19 am

sprite

very good. You need your sleep if you are to manage a Don in bad shape :)

1:21 am

grannyrose

i am so looking forward to tomorrow. taking grand-daughter Claudia, and a friend of mine, Kerry, to Sleeping Beauty, the ballet. then off the a street in one of Melbourne's suburbs called St Kilda. Ackland Street there is renowned for it's glorious pastry shops, and cafes. I told Claudia if all she wants for lunch is cake, then that's fine by me. She giggled so hard.

1:22 am

sprite

oh awesome! Memories will be made.

1:22 am

grannyrose

Don is much better in himself now. He says if only the cough would stop, he's be very happy.

1:23 am

sprite

then he will be very happy before long

1:23 am

grannyrose

I hope so sprite. and I must remember I have another Grand-daughter fast approaching the age when I could also take her to the ballet.

1:24 am

sprite

so very lovely

1:25 am

grannyrose

it's nice to be able to share a passion of mine with the girls. Young Sophia is the one I do water colour painting with.

1:25 am

grannyrose

How is Juno doing?

1:25 am

sprite

I love how you are making memories with them that will last their whole lives

1:29 am

sprite

Juno is doing okay. They are getting used to their electric wheelchair, which gives them so much more independence.

1:33 am

grannyrose

oh wonderful. i am so pleased to read that.

1:35 am

sprite

once Caya has finished her study, I think we will start looking for a permanent house near Arnhem.

1:37 am

grannyrose

on the outskirts, more rural area?

1:37 am

sprite

that is what I am hoping. I would love to find a place that is near the woods.

1:38 am

grannyrose

oh yes, that would be glorious.

1:39 am

grannyrose

you must have trees around you. you're affinity for trees, and forests must be catered for.

1:39 am

sprite

I am praying for a place where I can walk Nero in the woods daily. Just step out our door and be close to the woods. That would make me so happy.

1:39 am

sprite

exactly. It would make a huge difference.

1:40 am

grannyrose

aarrrggghhhh, can't believe i typed that... YOUR...

1:40 am

sprite

lol, bad rose

1:41 am

grannyrose

Arnhem is very old I see.

1:42 am

sprite

yes, it is not a bad place to live at all. My grandparents lived in Heelsum, the last 10 years or so. Heelsum, Renkum, that area, would be perfect

1:44 am

sprite

ughhh it is snowing. Rather wet snow and it is freezing. Bad weather. I hope Caya is driving extra carefully.

1:45 am

grannyrose

not nice at all. can be very dangerous. I'm sure Caya will take all care.

1:45 am

sprite

ah, she is at school already. No worries.

1:47 am

grannyrose

good. so safe for now. are you expecting more slushy snow later?

1:47 am

sprite

yeah, it is supposed to be a bad day for traffic today. Code orange is given.

1:50 am

grannyrose

you and Rob snugged up at home today? or do you have to go out, apart from Nero's walks?

1:50 am

sprite

just Nero and groceries. We will be fine.

1:53 am

grannyrose

okay...

1:55 am

sprite

Rob is considering skipping archery club tonight. I am very supportive of that decision.

1:56 am

sprite

fireflies

1:57 am

sprite

10:43 am

moolingwa

so don't be hard on your self

moolingwa

hurshy

10:44 am

wingding

oh, i'm not too disappointed when i have trouble here ... i rarely get even half the words on the grid .. but, i've fun w/ it throughout my work day

10:44 am

moolingwa

and english is one of the less sensical languages

10:45 am

moolingwa

good way to approach it

10:45 am

wingding

moo, i know what you mean, i've had to help a non-english speaker learn the language .. it's confusing .. but, they're doing better each day

10:45 am

hurshy

phantom: grub

10:46 am

moolingwa

well now only one G left, so back to your previous question hursh....probably not, by maybe 1
