Swagger Inn Thread 136 - Series 3 Finishes - wenches wail piteously, don black crepe and mourn the lack of Musketeers on screen

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

... then we just carry on jabbering and perving, and rewatching, and, well business as usual. Apparently there are plenty of thighs on display at the Olympics.

Morning wenches

Welcome home madame, good news about the freelance work being cancelled, but even better about getting a cat. Pics needed

Love the bearded grape

Well
Weird one.
Ds2s friend was supposed to be coming today at 10 - arranged via text on Sunday with his mum.
10am arrived....no child.
I text.
No answer
Left it 20 mins
I text again.
No answer.
Left another 20 mins
Ds getting upset now
So I phones the number I had been texting to be told it was a wrong number
?????
Wtf?
And this is after my sister dropping us last week.
Poor Ds is so upset.
Wwyd?

Go out and do something else to cheer up DS2 (and wonder WTAF happened to DS2's friend)

Hurrah for work cancellations and cats Madame would you like to take on a small freelance job?

He is playing ps4 with ds1 ATM :)
He seems ok now.
He sobbed earlier though.
The phone thing is weird.
How can it be a wrong number!? It's the one we've been using all week!

Hmm, that does sound weird bads - is there any way you're using the wrong no? Did you transfer it to a different phone or anything?

There probably is a reasonable explanation, so I agree with helen, try to forget it and do something nice to take his mind off it if he needs it.

All very odd
Ds now playing happily with my nephews :)
migth try and do a day out next week if I'm feeling brave...there's an archeology day on at an English heritage place - not exactly local but worth the trip I think

Madame I demand pictures of Monsieur or Madame la cat. When he or she arrives of course.

badders if you are flexible on age ratings, I think your DSes will love star wars battlefront. Not violent or bloody and you get to pilot the millennium falcon and take down AT ATs.

Oh and Mr M asked me to ask the wenches if it's ok to decline HV visits. Quote "ask the wenches. They'll know".

Mouse
Wrt battlefront...they are playing it as we speak
Ds2 has just been heard to yell "die Jedi scum!!"
Wrt HV visits...absolutely you can refuse if you think they are not necessary and how many of them really are
I'm not a big fan of HV tbh after 2 DC and at least 4 of them
(But others may disagree)
Bottom line...your dc, your home, your decision
X

Ooooh new cat!
Nice

That's good to know badz. I was certain we're allowed to decline visits. But Mr M wanted the wench consensus on it.

I love battlefront. Especially the new skirmish mode.

Afternoon wenches. Am flicking between rowing & dressage. Silver for Thornley & Grainger

She's probably forgotten badders & is too chicken to admit to it. Feign indifference for the sake of DS2 & add her to your secret shit list

You don't have to see HVs if you don't want to mouse, see them if you think it'll be helpful otherwise decline. Some are fab, some considerably less so!

I shall fancy.
I'm dead good at "feigning"
I also do a passable "smiling serenely whilst plotting your untimely demise"
😀👍🏻

What everyone else said re. Health Vistors...

Helen 😃

Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I'm going to die, I may as well enjoy myself first

Evening wenches!

Got back early hours. Had a fab time! Placematting for later

Hope all wenches are well x

LETUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to hear that you had a great time. Hurrah for holidays!

Hola letus! Do you have a fab tan?

Dss1 is going to be so at the weather when he gets here. He always feels the cold more than dss2 and walks around wearing 3 jumpers looking glum.

We're getting the cat tomorrow!!!! We saw him today. He's very nice, black with a white bit under chin, seemed very calm and smiley.

Have just spent a fortune at Pets at Home on litter trays and all manner of crap.

Cat wenches question: he is spayed and microchipped, but no vaccines. (He's two years old, from a cat shelter.) To be able to go outside, what vaccines if any should he have?

Sure mouse I will def post pix tomorrow. Afraid I cant help re declining hv as never had any. Yet amazingly, despite this ds has survived all the way to the age of 6...

For madame and helen

Oooh a cat What are you going to call him?
Ask the vet about vaccines Madame.

Welcome back Letus. Hope you had a fab time!

Okay have RBNR except for squeeee at MadameCat!

Have a fab holiday Apes x

Hotel was great, food delicious, staff fab, weather very hot except for the last day when it rained. DH and DC are nicely brown. I am a slightly less shade of brilliant white than I usually am . Wifi was intermittent.

Caught a few bits of the Olympics and now making up for it a lot . Gutted that my Dustin had to retire from his first round match whilst he was winning. Seems so long ago.

Yes, to the wench who asked - Badderz I think - there is men's beach volleyball, although I'm not sure whether it's finished.

And for the wench count there were a couple of HBFs at the hotel and a hot Frenchman on the beach. I also walked past a man so gorgeous on the beach whilst I was looking extra sweaty and hair frizzy, I nearly fell into the sea.

Oh and because it was hot Aramis got rather sweaty in his leather uniform

bads

Glad it was good letus! We are SO going somewhere hot next year.

ww ds has decided months ago that the cat will be called Patty. Whether male or female.
