Swagger Inn 143 - It's Still Cold - Oh Musketeers Keep The Wenches Warm

[LetUsPrey]

As Apricot said, spring seems so far away and it's bloody cold.

Grab a hot musketeer to keep yourself warm wenches

Oh in that case I'll probably like it in the flesh Blinking flash on photos makes it so hard to see pics properly.

There's a twitter account called @sweden where volunteers tweet about Sweden and there's one person on duty for a week at a time. The person doing it now have received lots of tweets from people bbecause of what Trump said and she's even been interviewed by the BBC.

The cute thing is that some people think it's some sort of mandatory thing for Swedes to manage the twitter account, questions like "is it like jury duty" and "can you refuse" has come up

Poor MiniBads

Trip to English heritage place sounds fab Bads. Were there a good café there?

ww

Like your cafe & cake priorities there

I love the cafés at places like that, and the gift shops

I think I read that the Swede on the twitter account at the time was a librarian? Librarians rule Either way, there's some cracking jokes about it on Twitter.

I have finished as much work as I can tonight. Hurrah!!

Yep, a librarian, awesome!

Like the nail polish Badderz. I've got a few one similar. Was going to paint mine this week but whilst we were both asleep, DH brought his knee up which hit my hand and bent one of my nails right back. It's broken very far down IYSWIM and very much fucking hurt, so much that it woke me up. He was very apologetic.

I used to love the gift shops at castles and stuff. Now it seems to be finding common ground of "not eye-wateringly expensive" and "not utter tat" that the DC insist on looking for. Really want some cake now.

Watching SS-GB. Enjoying it. DS1 isn't and has gone to bed. I think it required him to use his brain

Slithers up next to LetUs to compare broken nails... one of mine has gone about 3mm below the white Think I'll have to dig out some clear nail varnish to hold it together until it grows out enough to cut it back.

I tried red nail varnish once to go with a red dress I was wearing to a posh works do. I looked like I'd been trying to gut a chicken with my fingers. DH had to go next door and borrow nail varnish remover because mine had vanished. I hate nail varnish with a vengence. (Apart from clear blobs of it to hold broken nails together.)

Morning wenches.

DC off school now. It's always a bit odd going off to work when they're still at home. On the upside, lighter traffic. Whoop.

the other stuff seems a bit oily

Sigh. Better have breakfast. I need incentive to get through the day.

Have lovely days wenches x

Morning wenches.

Enjoy the lack of traffic letus - that was me last week, my commute was pretty quick.

I'm in work today instead of Friday, just trying to summon the energy to get dressed

Happy Half Term to LetUs sorry about the hay

Fancy - Aramis isn't dressed yet either....

Is also grey skies here

Afternoon wenches. We have DGS today and tomorrow, so it's pretty full on here.

Poor DS2 Bads, hope he's alright now. Excellent idea of LetUs's.

Criiiinge at broken nails. You can get nail glue that will keep them going until they grow. I've got one that I'm nurturing at the moment. DD and I both have long nails and we usually grade the severity of breaks by the length of time it takes them to get to an acceptable length, i.e. 'that's a 3-monther'.

We started to watch SS-GB, but fell asleep, so will have to try again.

Afternoon!
Ds was fine - he asked to scooter to school and that cheered him up 😀
He has got a little heart shaped thingy that says "love you to the moon and back" that he used to take in but I'm not sure where it is...
Didn't see SS:GB - was it any good?
Not sure whether to carry on with taboo - im finding it a bit baffling
Ds has his first dodgeball club tomorrow after school so hopefully he will be happy to go in tomorrow too
Dh has a hospital appt tomorrow morning so I'm off to that with him
Very grey here but oddly mild

Taboo is baffling, but I find it strangely compelling. The next episode is the last, but there are hints of two more series, so i doubt we'll get any answers.

.....aaaannnndd now I've got bloody toothache 😞😖😡

Parenting fail today - there wasn't an after school club tonight. oops. fortunately DH discovered this just in time and shot out to fetch DS.

Glad to hear that DS2 did ok at school Badders

I have DS has just been sticking his crafty homework effort together to get it finished. Hurrah!!!!!!!! I shall celebrate in the only logical way... by decorating with HBFs (with a thoughful side-order of Aramis for TeamA)

Thoughtful as ever Helen ❤
Ds1 just off to football practise
Ds2 in bed on the iPad. He has developed my love of warm beds 😀

Bugger me, it was a good job I didn't see that pic before I turned my laptop off this morning helen

Did DH make it for school pick up on time? Then it's not a parenting fail - it was a fuck up avoided, which is a parenting win

badders he sounds like a boy after my own heart

apricot, so you fell asleep? Hmm, doesn't sound promising

I just learnt that IKEA actually stands for the initials of the founder and the farm and county he grew up in. I didn't even know that it meant anything, do I feel stupid

Evening - the parenting fail averted because DH got there in time (I was still in PJs! #WorkingFromHome )

Am going to have an early night tonight - tired, sore back (maybe Athos was a bit overenthusiastic with the massage last night) and a headache. woe is me, etc etc.

Evening wenches.

Hurrah for DS2 going to school no problem Badderz! Love me a warm bed. It's my favourite part of the day I think.

Didn't know that about Ikea Wicked. Everyday's a school day.

Am knackered. Went to exercise class tonight and actually put in some proper effort for a change

Just going to stare at the Aramis pics
