Feminist Pub 17: The Bluestocking frolics in the fells and fens of feminism

DoctorTwo - understandable.
My DP just can't stay awake past 9pm - not because he has to be up early just he's in a different time zone to me or so it seems. He's usually up at 6 if not earlier. This means I watch these programmes & he's snoring then asking what just happened. Then he's awake at 10.30pm or so to walk the dog & stays awake for the next couple of hours.
That's where 'on demand' (we have Virgin) or Iplayer comes in handy. He can catch up another time.

We don't have any real TV, just Netflix, but I expect that there's a way to get Wolf Hall and other stuff.

DD recovered. We got DH a jacket to go with stuff he already has.

Scone, I toyed with the idea of Florida as we have this week off. Think I'd have been a bit pissed off if I flew south and it wasn't amazingly warm. I have plenty of work to keep me busy, just entertaining DD at the same time is not so easy. She happily spends all day on computer games so I have to keep her occupied.

I'm slightly jealous of those of you watching tv shows that start at 9pm as that's the time I'm getting ready for bed as I have to be up and going at 330am. I've missed most of Spiral as I tend to fall asleep around ten on Saturday.

That's a bit self indulgent and whiny :o which is so me...

No need to apologize, Petula. We get Wolf Hall in March. We're planning a viewing party.

Really enjoying Wolf Hall.

have you got wolf hall or is that yet to come?

sorry scone - very UK-centric of me!

I didn't realize it had been made into a TV series; I just googled and see we will get it in the US in April.

Watching the casual vacancy - so far so depressing.

Haven't read Casual Vacancy. The Tailor of Panama is so far the most depressing book I've ever read.

The Casual Vacancy just might be the most depressing book I have read in a long while.

The Northern US is really being hammered so I shouldn't complain about the bit of cold we have had down south. It's just that this time of year is when the azaleas come out in bloom and there has been nary a sight of their pink and purple loveliness.

oh no poor dd kickass!

also (on a shallow note) it must be v annoying getting all togged up for -25C weather only to have to take it all off to try on clothes in the shop, and then tog up again. (which is basically why i only buy clothes when i can wear flipflops!)

thanks house. will see if i enjoy it

It is -25C here today and you are talking bout planting seeds!

We are meant to be out buying DH a suit but DD has a sudden attack of the runs so I'm sitting in the toilets at Macy's and catching up on MN. DH is hovering around wanting to try on suits and get my opinion.

Last night DP and I decided that we shouldn't have listened to everyone and got DS a bunk bed (he's 4, DS2 is 1), and I did an evening run to Ikea to follow our original plan and get a double instead.

Today I took apart the bunks, put together the double, and now we have the cutest little babes in the wood style sleep over happening in DS1's bedroom - which means DP and I finally have a bed to ourselves (co-sleepers since DS2 was born).

Now just need to make sure there is no accidental DS3!

Hi everyone - looks like it has been quiet in here over the weekend.

DH and I had a night in a hotel for valentines day - but only because we were visiting my family, and couldn't face the sofa bed. We usually only do cards if we remember - we agreed years ago not to buy in to the whole valentines thing.

Right. Must get on. DS was sick all over himself in the car on the way home today, so I have laundry to do...

About to catch up with Spiral. May watch The Casual Vacancy. Didn't read it though. Didn't appeal.

In between reading Petula's thread of course - great stuff Petula.

It was a lovely day here in London. Just as well as the dog demanded five walks. DP went off to the park to prune the community orchard and I read the RSPB magazine and had a phone call from DD on some twat who runs a 'non-racist, non-sexist' nightclub who made an anti-Semitic comment.

it's more by necessity tbh gibber - i'm busy most weekends in march

it does feel quite springlike. i was thinking that when sitting outside in the mud! there were two VERY interested robins

i have set the casual vacancy to record, but i don't know anything about it other than that the book was written by j k rowling. did anyone here read the book?

Good grief you're doing well Petula. Haven't even started planning yet. Not going to next week either as it's kids hols here.

I've got some rosemary baby plants from the semi-hard cutting from beginning of winter. (The sage ones all died ...) But can't get enough enthusiasm to pot them up...

hi alsmutko!

i had another nice day on my own today. planted LOTS of seeds. coldframe and windowsills now full
