Swagger Inn Thread 142 - in which the holidays are over and we're back to normal perving hours

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

Questions:

1. Why doesn't my office look like this?

I think I read on twitter or FB that the first Strike series would probably be on TV towards the end of the year.

School run shortly... laters.

LetUs - Santi is catching up on his sleep just now in anticipation of a busy night...

Thanks Helen.

Yes, I think Tom told someone up at Masham that it would be 'before Christmas'. So if they're going to show it all in one go, that would be October-ish, which seems a weird time to start a new series, or maybe they'll split the books up, but who knows, this is the BBC.

I thought it was going to be shown as one book per year, but I have no idea since they're filming them all together. But I suppose that filimg them all in one block also makes sense since they've got everyone togetehr and those books are all finished.

Evening. TFIF

Evening wenches.

Yy Aramis is going to have to do all the work tonight so rest is good

Been cold most of the day. Warm now but have to go out later with DS1 to sportingactivity.

Thanks Letus

You're welcome

Sigh. Off to sportingactivity. It's fucking cold and I'm knackered. There'd better be some top unintentional innuendo tonight.

Evening wenches. Am cold & hungry, but there is pie for dinner dinner - hurrah Proper winter food

We await your innuendo report letus

As guests of Chateau Fancy will know, that is not my bedroom - that's Aramis asleep in madame's bed this morning. We left him sleeping, it was a long night

We're having toad in the hole I have made the batter, DH has done the rest.

At some point, DS will go to bed...

Mmmmmm.....toad in the whole

Toad in a hole, Pigs in blankets, Spotted dick, your cuisine is totally fab

whole?????? FFS

We had toad in the hole too.

Eton Mess makes me snigger

No innuendo to report . Difficult to hear again over the Gosh We're Only Playing Badminton For A Bit Of Fun contingent in the other part of the sports hall.

Back home. DS2 in bed but still wide awake as per. Interested to see if he stays in bed any later tomorrow. Doubtful

Think I'll head to the chateau with Aramis

Oh, and my favourite Athos covered in chocolate

Oh how disappointing letus. Next week I think you should sabotage their game

Ooh, now you've got me thinking ww - Aramis covered in Biscuit Spread.......

Chocolate Athos......

On that note I shall head for the hayloft...
Night all.

Morning wenches.

A night in the chateau with Aramis has done me the power of good

I'm off for a sports massage this morning (Christmas present from DH)

Currently watching the women's Australian Open final. Venus -v- Serena. It's amazing to watch two women in their 30s (practically decrepit in tennis terms ) playing so well. I'm almost feeling inspired. Almost.

Morning wenches

I've had a massive lie in this morning, much needed. Well I think I needed it

Enjoy the massage letus you lucky so-and-so. I do love a them

Morning Fancy I'll see you lie-in and raise you by 11:45 Thoug that was interruptred at 9:30 by a wail that a cat had been sick as DH and DS were about to head out the door to SaturdayMorningSportingActivity. Still, went back to bed afetr that was cleared up, and back to sleep. with associated weird 'I've worken up/oh no, I'm still asleep' dreams. but still. Mega lie-in.

Poop though, because I missed the tennis

What is every wench up to this weekend? We will mostly be chopping wood, because we've gone through the woodpile v. fast this winter. Right now I am finishing breakfast(!) with Stupid Cat on my knee.

Oh, and re John Hurt, which I found out when looking for tennis news

Excellent effort, you beat me by 30 minutes! My only disturbance was a request for cash by DS around 10.45am. DD is still asleep I think

I should really go & hang the washing out, but ScaredyCat has arrived for a cuddle

I managed 8.30 and DS2 slept until 8.45!!!!!!!

Sports massage was fabulous and I now just want to sleep.

DS1 is out this afternoon. It's pissing it down here so I think I'm going to try to persuade DS2 to do a movie afternoon and some homework

re John Hurt

The sunshine that we had when I woke up has been replaced by ominous-looking clouds. The washing machine is beeping plaintively, but I'm not convinced there's any point in hanging it out...

Had better get dressed though. Can still chop wood in cloudy weather...

Fancy - I'm having a Wotsits sandwich. My taste buds thank you
