hi dear friend of mine! Did you see, our favo drink is in the grid today. I will pour you a larrrrrrge one!

1:46 am

grannyrose

lol... is it sad that i thought of you when i saw it??

1:47 am

sprite

sad? Of course not. It is mandatory!

1:48 am

sprite

the biggies are baddies today. As are the ni words. Plus 10 K words. A slow grid for e.

1:48 am

sprite

me* even

1:48 am

grannyrose

how are you coping honey?

1:50 am

sprite

not too great. We didn't sleep much again last night. But on the plus side, Rob is at the hospital now for the measurements of the pressure stockings. And he was able and allowed to drive there by himself. I am home, waiting for the groceries to be delivered. Secretly very glad I did not have to drive him to the hospital. But also feeling slighty guilty that he is all alone there, he just texted me he is rather tense

1:52 am

grannyrose

i have two house guests at the moment. friends of Don's who brought their grand-daughter down for a camp. since it's a 4+ hour trip they decided to stay down here, and were talking about staying in a caravan park. they only have one pension to live on, so i said for them to come here.

1:54 am

grannyrose

oh come on sprite. no guilt trips you hear? he's is obviously well enough, or they wouldn't have allowed him to drive.

1:54 am

sprite

I know he is. But I also know it would help him a lot if I were there to support him.

1:55 am

grannyrose

you have carried both of you for too long as it is.

1:55 am

sprite

yeah I understand you felt you couldn't let them go to the caravan park. But it means a lot of extra work for you.

1:56 am

sprite

we are doing a lot better together since we talked out the birthday thing. I have more patience and he is communicating better.

1:57 am

grannyrose

not really. we have ordered extra lite'n'easy meals. just bought appropriate breakfast foods for them. they have my house keys, and so are happy going off to catch with their old friends.

1:58 am

sprite

that at least is good. But you had to prepare their room for them with all that entails, I know that was taxing.

2:01 am

grannyrose

yes it was. but i did it, with no help from himself. and for that i am glad. it showed me that i could do it.

2:02 am

sprite

for crying out loud, honey, don't be silly. Of course you can do it, you have the willpower to do it whatever the cost. And he should have helped. Next time tell him what to do, simply order it and don't wait for him to volunteer.

2:06 am

grannyrose

he did help with clearing the room of all the extra stuff which had magically appeared on the bed. let's face it, the bed is a level surface, and it didn't have anything on it. roflol

2:07 am

sprite

lol. Well at least he did something. Still, I keep saying it, he needs to pull his own weight a lot more.

2:09 am

sprite

fireflies. Phew, that was a tough one. The biggies were brutal.

2:11 am

sprite

Big hug, honey, and sleep well tonight. Love ya! *poof*

11:25 pm

Jacula

Ka6/30 (aka China clay) often mixed with morphine as a medicine to stop diarhhoea (the squits). 7/44 is plural of that, then add a vowel to the end of the singular word (for a ka7/44)and then make that a plutal for an 8/60.

11:28 pm

Jacula

The gy 8/65, 7/48, 8/65 all begin with the 3 letters relating to females and their reproductive systems.

11:30 pm

Jacula

an 7 and 8 refer to the postal service back in Roman times.

11:31 pm

sa7/36 is a Spanish mixed drink.

Jacula

The ka and morphine medicine used to be routinely dished out to small children with stomach upsets back in the 60 in the UK. No wonder we all ended up hippy dippy!

11:38 pm

Jacula

Y/W) 0471.

11:44 pm

Jacula

I can't click on your profile or your flag to see where you hail from 0471.

11:47 pm

0471

You can click on the 'man' symbol, blue colour.
I am from India.

11:48 pm

Jacula

I did that and it said 52-year-old female from India. Whatever! Welcome and I hope you're enjoying the game and will continue to do so.

11:50 pm

0471

Yes. Thanks Jacula.
I am here for some years. In a different id - iluvcofee
I forgot the login password and the 'forgot password' feature for resetting password didn't work. So created a new id.

11:50 pm

Jacula

LOL, that has changed to 'male' now. The internet is weird.

11:51 pm

0471

Blue symbol is male and pink is female. It was always blue for me.

11:52 pm

Jacula

Vaguely remember and I love coffee member (iluvcofee) but forget as I've been here almost from the start.

11:53 pm

0471

wow, that's great.

11:54 pm

Jacula

Why choose blue if you're really pink? What that some asserting thing back then against male dominance? If so, I don't blame you.

11:55 pm

Jacula

*Was, I meant, not 'what'.
