Swagger Inn 155 - it’s Springtime, time to frolic and gambol with the HBFs

[LetUsPrey]

Evening

I'm back on the pink........

We actually had some lightning earlier also some rain - that would be because I watered the new plants this afternoon

Thought of a 'B' - Andrei Bolkonsky from W&P

I had wayyy too much pink

And C's another easy one......

ww - how can there be too much pink?

Is that like “too many shoes” in that the concept doesn’t actually exist?

I could go for a double D tonight

Sorry, I don't know what I'm saying

Btw, this is my new motto

Mmmm thanks Wicked

I’m off to the hayloft for some double D fun

Morning. We lasted util 22:10 last night, and came in because DS couldn't sleep. He was out for the count in his own bed at 22:20

Your DVD player Wicked - I meant your DVD player. You know, from all your detailed and critical review of the plot and acting skills on display in perving over Last of the Jedi.

We had no rain, let alone thunder. We might get some showers today, I'm told. Better get the mower out before that happens though. It's lovely and sunny at the moment. and I need to do the taxi thing for DH.

In the meantime I'm listening with bemusement to a one-sided conversation of DS on his headset playing a random game with a friend.

Morning wenches.

You were right with your just after 10 then Helen

We have had no storms here and no rain yet. Although the sky is considerably darker than when I got up —about 20 minutes ago—, so no doubt it will be pissing it down when I’m dropping off DS1 and then running my errands.

Sounds like DS1 on his headset too Helen.

Homework wrangling and ironing today. Fun times.

Just watching some of the London Marathon. Looks a bit toasty in that there London.

I want to watch the marathon

I am sitting in the sun overheating, god knows how the poor runners are managing. I will --make myself hugely unpopular (change the channel) and find out... Why is Mo wearing arm warmers?

No idea. I like to think he’s making a fashion statement

It's proper toasty here. And after all the rain last night it's all looking so lush and green out there. The birds are singing

I have been mowing. Now I am collapsing from heat exhaustion. I have seen a whole 5 minutes of the Marathon, and I don't even know who won Yay! Go Mo! Hurrah for Weir and for Radcliffe keeping her record

Will have to go and fetch DH shortly. It is not a 'driving for fun' day today. It's too hit and I would rather be in the garden (with HBFs, obvs.) #Wench.

It seems to have stopped raining here.

Ironing done. Now watching Sherlock. Purple Shirt Of Sex

'D' is for Dante Gabriel Rossetti.....

Well
Fuck me

Ain’t the alphabet a wonderful thing?

Glorious weather here today and I got this weird energy so I've been cleaning the house and also did stuff outdoors. Now I'm knackered and blob is starting so I'm on the couch watching telly and had some painkillers.

Oh yes indeedy! That quite took me by surprise.

Can I have Alexander Dreymon for 'D' please? I can't wait for Uhtred.

Afternoon wenches. Rain, sun, cloud here. April really.

at Helen's attempt at camping.

Well done WW. Hope it's not too bad.

Fridge is up and running. I still prefer my old one.

for Wicked for her hard work and and for now

I’ve a gif of that somewhere where he’s turning over

It’s annoying when a new appliance just isn’t the same as the old, albeit broken, one.

Pfft to sparkling new white goods which just aren't the nice old one

Herrings fresh off the boat are gorgeous. But they're a sod to prepare ['horrified by the mess and gunk' emoticon] I have been washing my hands in the style of Lady Macbeth But, yum!

Today has mostly been spent in the garden. We now have a shrubbery (ish) or at least, various shrubby things planted in a gap in the boundary hedge. Plus the bonfire was lit just before the rain came down, so that's mostly burnt then safely put out And we got the tent in just in time too. Now my back is trashed (see also being hunched over herrings doing the top'n'tail and gutting thing).

I am going to go and lie in the bath and dream of HBFs who have two working hands and can give me a decent back massage...

at least I think it’s that that’s supposed to get rid of fishy smells.

Hope you and Athos are enjoying the game of Find The Soap With A Twist - the twist being there’s not any soap to actually find

Have finished one of the Shetland books I got from the library. Jolly good.

Watching Joe Lycett on BBC2. He’s very funny

That'll be the pre-menstrual productive burst of impatience ww - don't knock it, now mine are less regular I find it a lot harder to motivate myself to get all the boring household shit done.
