I will take care of doing stuff 1 and 3 whilst Fancy is busy ordering groceries

I have that superpower Fancy. I also have the superpower of turning off the fucking light when someone leaves a room and isn’t going to be going back in it for a while, if at all that day.

I am binge watching Killers videos to cheer myself up. I must say, it’s very effective.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 10/01/2018 21:50

Oh dear Fancy - we clearly need to add you DCs to the irritating shit list with MrLetUs Sad

I'm watching Howards End. Mr Wilcox doesn't look old enough to be the father of those grown-up children. He needs more grey hair - just sticking a beard on him doesn't age him that much. Or maybe they have and I need better glasses to stop me watching everything in soft focus Grin

I loved Howards End. I overlooked him not looking old enough because Matthew Macfadyen. Also, the one playing Paul(?) is rather nice and was Laurie in Little Women (and was lovely in that). All the Wilcox children needed a kick.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 10/01/2018 23:14

The Wilcox children are spoiled brats. I'm binge watching Howards End now, DH will be back shortly though so I won't get to finish it. Tibby also needs a bit of a slap at times Hmm

LetUsPrey · 10/01/2018 23:31

Spoiled and entitled Tibby was a bit of a woe is me wasn’t he? Looked like a gust of wind would blow him away. Hope you get to watch nearly if not all of it.

Am watching end S1 Hotel Secrets. French Riviera. Completely bonkers, another world. This was in 2012 - a suite at the Hotel du Cap in high season €1600 a night and when the Cannes Film Festival’s On there’s a minimum 12 night stay. Shock

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/01/2018 00:22

Ha! I inflicted the last 30 minutes on DH when he got home - serve him right, all the sport I sit through... (no prizes for guessing what's on now). I really out to go to the hayloft though....
Was good though. I suspect Tibby suffered from being rather sketichly or unsymathetically written.

Binge watching to midnight was a bad idea... Currently waiting for it to be light enough to go and let the chickens out.
Oh the excitement. Still better then cleaning up cat vom - Stupid Cat refused to eat her food until I added biscuits. The she threw it all up again over some shopping bags. And the floor. And now she has decided to it on me and purr. And provide her own special acupuncture treatments.

Morning wenches.

Hurrah for finishing watching Howards End! You’re right about Tibby.

You need to get the chickens some hi-vis vests. Not hurrah for the catvom.

Dreamed I was singing at a party with Brandon Flowers. We kissed many times, but that was all. Was still

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/01/2018 14:09

'king hell. Talk about tinfoil hat time... In fact, not even tinfoil hat - that phrase implies to me that it's a bit of a joke and there's not really anything to worry about.

I just scanned our paper holiday itinerary and then emailed it to DH. My Gmail calender has just automatically added the hotel accommodation to the calandar:
Google Calendar adds events from Gmail, like reservations for flights and restaurants, to your calendar automatically. The following event has just been added from Gmail to your calendar...

Now, if it was in the text of the email I would be less Hmm, but this means that gmail has trawled the contents of the attachments to extract the information. Big Brother or what?! Shock

Evening wenches.

That's spooky Helen.

I meant to record Howards End and forgot. Is it worth looking for it on the iPlayer?

We watched the two new episodes of Silent Witness last night. They had three storylines going on together with back story and in the end I had no idea who did it. Nor did DH. So I looked online and the Twitterers didn't either. Why do they do this? I just want something easy to watch that doesn't make my head hurt.

There's a programme about big cats on tonight. Think I'll try that. Smile

LetUsPrey · 11/01/2018 18:21

Evening wenches.

There’s helpful Helen and there’s downright flipping creepily overstepping the mark. Shock

It was worth watching Apricot. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be on iPlayer anymore. They don’t mess about do they?

It’s good to be made to think about a programme sometimes but on occasion they take it too far and it’s just too much bloody hard work. I’d have had no chance with Silent Witness by the sounds of it. I’m looking forward to the big cats programme. Have got it set to record.

Can’t believe it’s Friday already tomorrow!

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/01/2018 18:39

I think iplayer only lasts for 30 days. It was worth watching, but to be honest, although it was 2 hours longer than the film version, so don't recall any vast difference between them that made the series better. Admittedly it's years since I've seen the film, but...

Next on my list to clear off the sky box is Gunpowder...

Silent Witness isn't something I watch, but I will be watching the next series of Delicious, which also starts Emilia Fox, so I was very bemused when there was a facebook trailer talking about where her charcater was now... I couldn't understand what they were talking about because I'm thick they were talking about Silent Witness and not Delicious Grin

Ah, I thought it was on just before Christmas. How time flies! Never mind, I'm sure it will be repeated sometime.

LetUsPrey · 11/01/2018 20:45

I thought it was just before Christmas too! Grin Helen

DS1 been for a college appointment. It was “alright”. Sorted out the attendance thing with his school.

Might see if BestFriend wants to watch The Greatest Showman at the weekend.

LetUsPrey · 11/01/2018 21:37

I may treat myself and head for a bath. I might really push the boat out (not literally - the bath isn’t that big) and read a book whilst I’m in there.

I can guarantee though that I’ll be in there for five minutes at the most before someone needs the toilet.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/01/2018 21:56

Really LetUs Shock - they let you get in the bath first?! DS arrives for a poo the second I start running my baths Hmm Children, they're such delights Grin

Night Helen. One went as bath running (DS1), one whilst I was in (DH).

Have started reading Good Omens —at last—. Very much enjoying it
