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?

Sigrid is purring away like crazy

I have to patch some of DS' school trousers. This makes typing difficult.
#1stWorldPorblems

(quick catch-up)
Hurrah for nail varnish that doesn't chip! (Can't be arsed myself, but hey ho )
Hurrah for bookcases (Not counting the bathroom/shower room, I think we only have one room without a bookbase!)
Boo for Madame's resident fuckwit
Eek for comtess's ScarySportingEvent in a week's time
Too right re. petitions
FFS at DS' knee-ripped school trousers...
Um... on which note ^^...

Evening wenches

I like the sound of being Aunty Fancy badders - everyone needs a disreputable older aunt

@ Swedish meatballs for everybody - no wonder everyone cheered.

for ww - how scary was the film, you brave wench? Love all the books btw.

apricot - so how many rewatches will you be squeezing in this week? And you are a complete glamourpuss - you put us all to shame.

FMWAC madame

Thanks for the gymbag update - love MrC's succinct answer

Have given up with mending for tonight - patches are tacked onto trousers. I'll do the actual sewing in daylight.

Think I'm heading for the hayloft.

Night all...

PS - will Dr Athos be on call in case of stitching accidents? [hopeful]

Oh I'm sure he will helen

I know, right Fancy And the movie wasn't that scary, a bit disappointed. But Harry Potter looke quite fiiiine

Madame

Patches?
I just buy new trousers
Ds2 coughing quite badly now but sleeping and eating so I'm sending him to school
I can check on him at lunchtime
No fog or frost here...yet!

Oh dear.
Now he's wheezing too.
Dr it is then....and I've got an optician appt today too
Grr.

Have fed child/cats/chickens. Can I go back to bed aagin now?

Badders there's nowt wrong with sending a coughing child to school, forget about the guilt.

Fancy - I may have jabbed myself with the needle. I wasn't entirely sure. I needed a through and detailed examination to check though

Wicked I cannot belieeeeeve (etc etc) that you watched woman in Black to relax hardcore!

Hope Apricot is enjoying a relaxing lie-in with Athos and that adame's TB is less of a fuckwit today.

Hope everyone has a good day, including who-ever I've cross-posted with since I seem to do that a lot these days. (Probably LetUs at this time of the morning )

I can ignore the cough Helen
I can't ignore the wheezing
😞😷
Gah
I HATE mondays

Morning wenches.

Helen - not today! Bit of a delay as I managed to knock over DS2's drink in the kitchen. I feel it's set the tone for the day.

Hope DS2 isn't too bad Badderz.

Can't really remember much else. Woke up three times in the night, twice after two separate nightmares. I love dreaming that there's a hitman (not Pete Waterman) outside my house and then I wake up just as he's about to shoot me. Fun times.

Better get on. Have great days wenches x

for LetUs (Bet Aramis would have stopped your assassin - as log as there were no crying babies to distract him)

for Badders and wheezy DS2

Thanks Helen
I had a really weird dream but now can't remember what it was...something to do with my old dog..🤔
Mum is coming to sit with ds whilst I go to the opticians and to work

Hitman!?
That sounds horrid Letus 😞
❤️ for you

Morning

It's so grey out there - it seems like a good day for staying in the warm & getting stuff done. Oh how I wish that were a euphemism.....

Wierd dreams and nightmares can FRO. Mine involved a stalker with a knife so that was a lovely 4am wake-up.

And the weather is cold and miserable and frankly it ought to be a duvet day.

Hello, Im off sick with a migraine. I held it at bay over the weekend but the fucker wouldn't be beaten.

Which is fucking annoying cos I wanted to go to the local anti Trump rally tonight. Might still go anyway though it will involve taking ds. Still, it is important I feel. Feels like one of those rare weight of history moments.

Anyone else going? There are LOADS all round the country. Here is the "full" list though my town's event isnt on there.

wicked bookcase looks lovely, very cosy

bads! I am watching Elementary. The one with Lestrade and two roosters in it. Sherlock just asked Watson, "Dont you like cocks?" with an admirably straight face.

Madame - [drugs]
No protests near us Nothing listed on that page and nothing in local paper either. Anne is going to one of the London ones.

Afternoon.

Yes, I may have had a little lie-in. I've been sorting some drawers out and generally having a chuck-away and tidy.

I will have a re-watch of season 3 at some time Fancy for the first time, although to be honest, the whole season was spoiled for me because I felt that they totally re-invented Athos. I did really try to like Sylvie, but every time she appears I could scream.

Hope DS2 is alright Bads.

Madame.

Off on the school run shortly.

I watched that one last night Madame!!
Sooo...
Opticians - £500 on new glasses with varifocal lenses I have a ridiculously complex prescription
£60 for roofer to fix dodgy ridge tile
And ofsted are coming tomorrow! 😖
Off to dr with ds2 at 3.45 so I will prep dinner before I go
Fun times

I'm TOTALLY with you on series 3 apes!
Sylvie was a poorly thought out plot device, nothing more.

Hahaha bads we are Elementary-synching. The smell of our pheromones must be so potent they are travelling via broadband.

😳😂💋

la-la-la-la
I liked Sylvie and S3 Athos, so nahhh

In other news, The Stig is teaching Holly Grainger how to drive for Cormoran Strike (Actually I think this is the Book Three scene with the unsavoury package being delivered - deliberately vague - has anyone here not read them?) pic from holliday-grainger.com/ via twitter
