Swagger Inn 152: Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly --and HBFs--

[ApricotCrush]

Tom and Santi are showing the wenches what they have for us for Christmas.

Helen! Hurrah for (unfortunately temporary) internet!

Walk to a pub sounds a fine idea.

Was the Judi Dench thing about tress? Saw a bit of that the other day. Very interesting.

Little Women, and The Miniaturist tonight. Both set to record to watch on my own at some point. I think we’re watching Guardians of the Galaxy 2 once DS2’s in bed. Work tomorrow

I need something to cheer me up and something to dry my eyes on. Oh look - two birds and all that

Joined a couple of FB groups yesterday that sounded interesting but I've left them already. There are some stupid weirdos out there! And I've been contacted by three men on Messenger from this groups. I'm still in one group which is about PMS/PMDS, no one has tried to contact me from that group, no surprise there I guess.

Also work tomorrow, yuk.

Looking forward to Friday and Star Wars Compared to some "men" on FB a moody villain in need of anger management doesn't look that bad

Sounds like you’re well out of those groups. Creepy fuckers.

Have a large

Thanks Letus. Have one yourself

Thanks Wicked. Bottoms up!

Have watched Doctor Who. Very very much enjoyed it. A lot.

Morning wenches. Looks a bit breezy out there.

So, I’m off to work. Yep definitely heading out the door. Not going to go up the ladder to the hayloft. Nooooo that would be wrong.

I seem to have found these two gentlemen. The one on the left wants to know if I’ve a friend who’d like to join us? Any volunteers?

Mememememememeeeeee!!!!!!!

Morning Afternoon.

Yay for internet Helen. Boo for work LetUs and WW.

All went well yesterday, but it's taken us all morning to get the house back into some sort of order. Am now exhausted and will spend the afternoon curled up on the sofa watching whatever we've got recorded on the TV.

Alright?

Been to town as I has some errands to run...sales are pants!!

Lush has a half price sale on though so at least I shall smell nice 😁

I have had to order slippers online!!

Ds1 revising

Ds2 playing one of his new ps4 games

Dh is faffing

I'm watching quiz of the year on e4

Afternoon

Sorry for being absent, hope everyone has had a good Christmas? By the sounds of things we have all earned andsome faf on the tv

All visitors have safely been despatched & I even got a surprise flying wench visit - helen, MrHelen & miniHelen were force fed some left over turkey before they were allowed to leave FancyCat was so pleased to see them she produced a hairball in their honour

Evening wenches. Work was a bit boring.

Thanks for your selfless volunteering Wicked

Apricot you deserve many s and much and many many many HBFs

I miss not having a Lush nearby any more. Might have a look online. Not been out in the actual shops. Not sure I’ll bother.

Hurrah for flying wench visit!

I thought the sales were utter rubbish letus...
I went to next, Primark, marks, Debenhams, Cath Kidston...nothing.
I only really wanted some slippersboring but couldn't even find those
Lush sale was good...even the gift sets were half price

Evening all , we have been in the car most of the day, avoiding the snow and traffic jams. And gatecrashing Chateau Fancy. The texting went something like this:
H - we have snow! Do you?
F - yes a bit
H - Slushy roads...
F - you going home? Want to drop in?
H - yeah,but,no,but... DH wants to get home in the light.
F -'kay...
.
.
.
H - traffic is shite, we're on our way to yours, stick the kettle on!

FancyCat did indeed produce a hairball in our honour Ours were so pleased to see us that they left us two piles of cat vom and a partridge dead mouse in the pear tree trap. They are very pleased we are home, because now there are warm laps to sit on and the woodburner is on.

pfft at sales - Sainbobs had half price slippers, but no trainers to replace DS's which he has trashed. That's the closest we got to shops over xmas. Lush don't have a sale online

How is it not even 7pm? It feels like about 10pm... DS is busy building lego. I have a nasty feeling I shall be asked to play a game with it next

Glad to hear that everyone has survived Xmas anyway - boo for having to work between Xmas and New year LetUs

I leave you with the happy news that DH did get me Strike for Xmas, so I shan't have to buy it myself.

Am that Lush isn’t doing an online sale. Not sure I’d be getting anything yet anyway. I do miss not having a shop local to me.

Hurrah for appearance of Strike at Christmas. FriendAtWork has been rewatching it and is very excited about the next programme.

The silly weather has scuppered my plans to watch Star Wars with friend tonight as her family member has had to delay their journey back south. We’re going on Friday instead and having dinner first so I’m counting that as a win

That's so thoughtful of FancyCat

Glad you got the DVD Helen

So, I'm totally obsessed with Kylo Ren/Adam Driver, he's so f-ing hot! How did this happen? A couple of days ago I wished he would put his helmet back on

I'm also watching Star Wars on Friday Letus

I think for me it was when he spoke to a certain character....i won't post any spoilers but...phwoar...

You're all wierd.

Still, while you're busy with him then Athos is all mine (and apricot's)

I think I know the part you mean Badderz

I remember DS1 said on the way to school one day years ago “mum you’re so weird”. I took that as a compliment even though I’m fairly sure he didn’t mean it like that

Are all cats now calm and non-vomming?

Oooh I can't wait!!!

Cats are not vomming just now. but one is eating, so, you know...

While I remember, did you know about Anansi Boys being on Radio 4 LetUs?

Good of the cats to keep you on your toes Helen

I didn’t know that Helen —and I’ve still not even started reading Good Omens—. Wonder if I can download it on to iPlayer on my phone and listen to it in the car?

Am watching Little Women from last night. Enjoying it so far.

We're watching cricket

though I'm online, so not paying much attention anyway.

Think I ought to head for the hayloft really, get some sleep before DS appears at some ungodly hour
