    Zen, do you play scrabble online? Can one play scrabble online?? If so, i'd be happy to join you in a game.

    I love scrabble but ian's not & his spelling is

    Some folks have different flatmates & Í think that's what makes flatting fun. Have you ever seen "Scarfies"(NZ film) or "Shallow Grave"???

    We watched Blade Runner (directors cut) after lunch today...Still one cool film Odd yet cool.

    Still have to watch "The Castle" (oooo soo funny..) that we've rented from a local netflix rental thing.

    This is where we play. I think there's a $10/year fee. I love it. http://thepixiepit.co.uk/scrabble/

    Are we off the gardening topic?
    Probably just as well...just recieved a quote for professional landscaping in the back yard. As we are having the pool and deck all re-done, we want to really landscape nicely.
    As I don't have the time or patience or knowledge..I prefer a professional. I spend my off time biking, running or other "stuff o' fun".
    But I don't think I can afford this! Wow! It was much more than I expected. yeah, could do it myself...but I just have to leave it to professionals!

    Good for all you that do your own!

    Just be sure they have LOCAL credentials. As I mentioned, I know zero about ornamentals, and we made the mistake a few years back of trusting someone who had good-looking landscaping experience in another state and a philosophy very compatible with ours, but was new to Florida. Oh, man, was that a mistake.

    At least the paving stones look nice.

    When I lived in FL my new neighbor was a retired landscaper from "up North", he took one look at my grass and told me it was in desperate need of thatching...but my grass was that kind that vines throughout the yard, thatching would have torn the yard up!

    Very reputable landscaper...one of the best (we picked one of the best for the pool, too, I would rather pay now than later and I know folks who have!)
    So the work his company does is great....but I worry we have a FL jungle theme planned for the back. So I just need him to scale back. I DO NOT like working outside (unless on a bike!)

    Now I am off to take cat to vet...those darn furry children, it is always one thing or another! Better be cheap...momma have a pool and backyard to pay for! (Just joking, the critters always come first!)

    Scrabble...I can't spell (have you not noticed by my postings) and I make up words. In otherwords...not too fond or good at scrabble. Just leave me alone to my sudoku puzzels!

    Pogo Scrabble won't let you make up words or spell incorrectly but when you're desperately putting together letters hoping to make a word you may be surprised to find out it's an acceptable word.

    Went to the vet yesterday to pick up meds and food for two of my fur babies. Wasn't until I went back outside I noticed *who* was doing the yardwork on the newly remodeled and expanded building - the head vet! He had just finished planting the trees, and was taking a weedwhacker to the free range grass that grew up. Wearing jeans and an old T-shirt he looked like a hired yard-man, not the owner of a large vet practice.

    After paying for the remodling they couldn't afford the lawn service.
    My vet is expanding the building too. Business must be good.

    Given what we've learned about banks lately, maybe it's an inside job.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
