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?

Oh I do hope so Helen

Found this doing the rounds on Facebook too...
This is the closest we've got to a snowman so far

Helen

We've watched some NCIS (emotional Gibbs - sigh) and are now on Death In Paradise. New series started last week. I don't think it's as good as it used to be.

I think I'll have a drink with Aramis and then head to the chateau.

Morning wenches.

Beautiful sunshine here ☀️

I need to get in the shower. This however involves me getting up off the settee.

Morning all. I have emerged from under the duvet to sun/snow/sleet/rain and half the felt roof unpeeled from a shed. Oh joy.

DH and DS have gone off to SaturdayMorningSportingActivity without me (so DS can be in charge of choosing loud music, without me in the car being cbf) I may be sulking a bit, though have been promised a cinema trip tomorrow. And in the current weather I'd only have sat in the bar perring out at Sporting Activity. I ought to do housework and other related cr*@p*. I'm sure I would feel suitably proud of myself once I've achieved something towards tidyig the tip..... Unfortunately that would mean peeling myself off the sofa.

Oh look - hail now.

hope everyone has a good day...

That weather forecast seems accurate.

Sunshine has gone and it looks like it's about to tip it down - just as I'm going out shopping with DS1.

Morning wenches. Sorry I was awol last night, but circumstances prevented me from accessing my laptop .

Off to catch up..........

Hi wenches Cold here today and I've been driving on icy roads to stock up on essential stuff like wine and coffee Also tons of recycling, feels so good to get rid ot that.
Relaxing with a giant cup of coffee before I start packing and cleaning again

So sorry to hear that circumstances happened to you Fancy, poor thing. Was it multiple circumstances?

Well done that wench to Wicked. Also am relieved you've got more wine!

Were they extenuating circumstances Fancy (I have no idea why that sounds a bit rude, but it does in my head anyway )

Have done shopping with DS1. Not the funnest of times.

It was more than one circumstance ww & yes letus, thoroughly extenuating - how did you both guess?

Great news about the party & the parents' evening badders. Oh, I think your missing period turned up here btw, shall I send it up to you? Most people on the medication I'm on don't get periods anymore, but it seems my body is valiantly ignoring that fact

Mmm.....restraints. Like this?

Totes agree apricot, those are suggestive or maybe you're not the only total perve in here

Period still not arrived
Snot however in copious amounts
Christ, when will this virus just fuck off!?

Fancy

You can better by trying to take it easy Badderz

I am finally watching Poldark. Demelza is flirting her head off at a party.

Oooo that George is a wrong'un

Hurrah for wicked's essentials. Do you have enough though?

We have had snow and sun again since I last posted. The carpets are hoovered and cleaned and I did a load of washing. I feel I have earned some Sitting about and chilling time. Unfortunately DS is back and watching TV, ad DH is feeling rough, so I have to be Responsible Adult scary but true.

Responsible adult? You've lost me

I am now feeling well and truly Poldarked.

Taboo on BBC1 tonight.

Don't worry Helen 🍫 is part of the essentials

and for Bads

I have been out for a bit of a walk - I think that's enough 'outside' until Spring for the weekend.

Responsible Adult - ther person who is meant to make sure that DCs do not kill themselves or detroy the house whilst entertaining themselves.

Outside - arse! Chickens are still out

You really deserve Fancy

I'm having a mahoosive one myself God I'm so happy

I have vodka
I'm still feeling Poldarked
I've just tidied up all my shoes
Paella was singing in my ears about wanting me to scream in the climax with him

Cheers and Skål wenches!

I'm still in bed

Mmm vodka.

Oh Letus, you know the word skål .

Of course I can use google translate do Wicked

I may have been a little over generous with the vodka

Are you now wicked
(all my screen showed me of that post was I'm having a mahoosive one myself )

Never mind Badders, as long as you have Athos with you
( for Badders feeling rough)

Ta muchly LetUs - they'd put themselves into the coop this time, so all we needed to do was shut the door to keep the rats out. I like the idea of tidying shoes. I don't have anywhere to tidy mine too - just random spots around the house (racks, bottom of wardrobe, cupboard, etc etc) Was very thoughtful of Paella to accompany you though.

Fancy it's not that cold outside now here - too much cloud cover and the wind has dropped right down.
