12:58 am

grannyrose

* trying frantically to think of something to feed sprite * well her home for a start, and her car, food, country, sights,

12:59 am

sprite

yeah yeah yeah, I recognise a brush-off when I hear one. Okay, okay. ;)

12:59 am

grannyrose

and nothing more than that except my pearls. she wore them on her wedding day.

12:59 am

sprite

oh wow. Was that your something borrowed?

1:00 am

GroovyKiwi

It was

1:00 am

grannyrose

such a coincidence. i was going to leave them at home but i couldn't decide what to wear with my outfit. so i took two options with me.

1:01 am

sprite

I love that tradition.

1:01 am

GroovyKiwi

They were perfect

1:02 am

GroovyKiwi

The old was the pinky clutch I found at the second hand shop the day of the wedding

1:02 am

sprite

no coincidence, I think. The Big Guy talking to you.

1:02 am

GroovyKiwi

The new was my dress and the blue was my hanky

1:03 am

sprite

how wonderful, Kiwi!

1:03 am

grannyrose

groovy was going through her jewelry trying to decide what to wear, when i said to her " how about pearls? " of course she said no. i had to twist her arm. NOT.

1:03 am

sprite

*giggles*

1:03 am

GroovyKiwi

I got my eye on those pearls â€¦.

1:04 am

grannyrose

i wondered about that. i found this eye rolling around my dressing table. and i said. " eye, eye, eye. what's going on here?"

1:06 am

grannyrose

btw, next Wednesday is our 20th anniversary. and he is still breathing, although the limp should be gone by Christmas.

1:07 am

GroovyKiwi

Thatâ€™s my Loganâ€™s birthday

1:07 am

sprite

early congratulations, my darling!

1:08 am

ursh

i raise you rose - 18th is our 54th anniversary

1:08 am

sprite

oh wow ursh, that is amazing! Congrats and thanks for that wonderful example.

1:08 am

grannyrose

thank-you honey. we are going out for dinner. chinese. it's the only time i can have a chinese omelet without feeling like i'm being mean.

1:09 am

grannyrose

W.O.W.!!! ursh. that's so wonderful. congratulations.

1:10 am

grannyrose

groovy, Logan was born on a wonderful date then.

1:10 am

sprite

we will have our 28th anniversary in september

1:10 am

GroovyKiwi

Oh my goodness Ursh. What an wonderful achievement

1:11 am

grannyrose

and that too is outstanding Sprite. i often wonder what our lives would have been like if we had met, unattached, when younger.

1:12 am

GroovyKiwi

We will have our first in November ðŸ˜

1:13 am

grannyrose

probably not a good idea. i had so much growing up to do, and maturing if the truth be told. nowadays i find i'm quite good at handling prickly people.

1:13 am

sprite

the first of many to come, Kiwi

1:14 am

grannyrose

awww groovy, it will be the most glorious first ever sweetie.

1:14 am

sprite

I am not sure you would have liked me back then, Rose. I was still very much messed up and had lots of processing and maturing to do.

1:14 am

GroovyKiwi

May need an anniversary holiday

1:14 am

sprite

oh absolutely, Kiwi. To the Netherlands?

1:15 am

grannyrose

as we all did Sprite. life wasn't kind to us.

1:15 am

grannyrose

omg.... what if we both came over Sprite? the Netherlands would never be the same...

1:16 am

sprite

true. Now, looking back, I am ashamed of much of my behaviour. It was often narcissistic. Not that I am a narcissist, but that was what I had learned to view as normal behaviour and I copied it. Cringeworthy.

1:16 am

GroovyKiwi

He says probably closer to home this time

1:16 am

sprite

lololol rose... omg that would be awesome

1:17 am

sprite

Foxy, I totally understand. But who knows... one day...

1:17 am

grannyrose

how about we meet in the middle of the ditch Groovy? we'd make a huge splash.

1:17 am

GroovyKiwi

Big bombs lol

1:18 am

grannyrose

or boobs??

1:18 am

sprite

phantom fathom

1:19 am

GroovyKiwi

I may get another trip to Oz if Iâ€™m lucky

1:19 am

grannyrose

1:19 am

sprite

sounds really good

1:20 am

sprite

well done rose!

1:21 am

GroovyKiwi

I just got all of those too

1:21 am

sprite

gooo Kiwi!

1:21 am

grannyrose

excuse me... one husband needs a smack.

1:21 am

sprite

*smacks Don*

1:22 am

GroovyKiwi

Finds Don an ice pack

1:22 am

sprite

let the record show that Kiwi is much much nicer than sprite

1:22 am

grannyrose

he just brought in my jumper i have washed and is now dry. he said it smells clean... grrr as if i would wear a smelly jumper.

1:23 am

grannyrose

and thank-you both. one for her support, the other for her cold comfort.. lol

1:23 am

sprite

fireflies. *hugs* for all my friends.

1:24 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!

1:24 am

GroovyKiwi

*polishes her halo*

Go spritey

1:24 am

grannyrose

wow groovy, didn't know you could reach your ankles!

1:26 am

GroovyKiwi

* Bending over for other reasons *

1:26 am

mattygroves

I am mildly amused that you can get AEIOU in the grid

1:27 am

grannyrose

g'day matty

1:27 am

mattygroves

G'day! Hope you had a fine one, and that it's not too cold

1:28 am

GroovyKiwi

Matty. LTNS

1:28 am

grannyrose

nice wishes, but it's cold as down here.

1:28 am

mattygroves

LTNS?

1:28 am

GroovyKiwi

Long time no see

1:29 am

mattygroves

It's not great here - it rained most of yesterday and whilst it's sunny this morning, more rain is predicted. We've had one week of summer, and that seems to be our lot

1:29 am

mattygroves

Ah hah! Indeed!

1:30 am

grannyrose

ah yes. your summer was on a Wednesday this year, wasn't it? how goes it with new PM?

1:30 am

mattygroves

Early days yet, but he should be far better than the last one (I hope!)

1:31 am

GroovyKiwi

Itâ€™s currently 8 c feels like 7 and we are going down to -1

1:31 am

grannyrose

that's all one can do. hope. ours is finally showing his true colours, and a lot of people are not happy.

1:32 am

mattygroves

Brrr! Here it's a high of 17 and a low of 8, thundery showers and a gentle breeze

1:33 am

grannyrose

we went to below zero last night. poor car had it's first frost.

1:33 am

GroovyKiwi

I canâ€™t stand ours. Heâ€™s on a one man crusade to help big business only

1:34 am

mattygroves

I find that is often the priority of parties to the right, even when they claim to help the 'working man'

1:40 am

GroovyKiwi

Matty. I read an article about your new pm. It didnâ€™t show him in the greatest light

1:40 am

sprite

sorry sorry sorry, had to answer nature's call all of a sudden. Hiya matty!

1:40 am

mattygroves

How so? He's very....bland, but he's an ex human rights lawyer - admittedly moved to the right? What have you read (and where)?

1:41 am

mattygroves

But politicians are rarely able to be seen in a totally good light!

1:41 am

mattygroves

Hi Sprite!

1:42 am

grannyrose

there she is. didn't fall in sprite? well done... ( oh my, ducking under the table )

1:42 am

zTink

Low today 81. High 93. Heat advisory from 11am-7pm.

1:42 am

GroovyKiwi

Bland was mentioned quite a few times lol

1:42 am

GroovyKiwi

It was in our local online news

1:42 am

sprite

I am no good at politics at all. I haven't seen a single politician who isn't also a liar. Hard to choose between them.

1:42 am

sprite

lol rose :P

1:42 am

mattygroves

His father was a toolmaker. He mentioned that a LOT during the campaign.

1:43 am

sprite

1:44 am
