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

[LetUsPrey]

Evening

“not big enough to do anything useful with” - not an HBF then

Are there any techy HBFs who can sort out Fancy, and her computer issues and get her back online?

DH is being an arse. You know, being absolutely hilarious with the DC when they should be going to bed. DS1 just now, and DS2 earlier but when he was already quite late to bed. And then telling me to lighten up which I hate.

So I’m taking my Ks up to the hayloft.

L is for...
Lord commander of the nights watch

Morning 😁

Morning wenches.

Nice alphabetising there Badderz.

L is also for Lee Pace, aka lovely Thranduil.

DS2 is embracing Monday with feeling. Urgh.

Badders - I suspect that LetUs also has fairly firm ideas about what L is for...

Fancy needs a new power cable I think. And better access to MN on her phone. Both these probably need are a good excuse for a HBF's assistance I'm sure they will be willing to help join the relevant parts securely together.

X-post

I am embracing Monday with a cat on my lap. It's wet and blowing a hoolie out there. I would rather be in bed (with Athos - obvs)

Ah great minds Helen.

And Lucifer of course. How could I forget? Perhaps he’ll give me a telling off later —yes please—

Hope Fancy gets that cable inserted quickly and gets fully powered up

Stay warm Helen

Both kids off with what I suspect is scarlet fever (it's doing the rounds here)

Ffs

I have mended the garden gate. Well. I say mended. It no longer swings the wrong way and wedges shut. It also no longer shuts of its own accord, so just swings randomly about in the wind instead. My DIY skills are not all they could be. I need to work out what I've done to the auto close spring thingy....

Got to have new glasses
Not surprised but ffs
Ds2 needs some too
I'm off for a nap soon
I'm doing the 30 day plank challenge...im on day 6 and 30 secs
Bugger Me. It's hard!

Afternoon wenches.

Have just done a food shop while DH collected DGS. Am knackered. I also have toothache. It's not the one that's coming out, it's the one that's sensitive to hot and cold. Woe.

I think they tell you you need glasses whether you do or not Bads. I've received a reminder from the optician, but I'm putting it off. Well done with the planking. Hope DC aren't feeling too bad.

L is for the lovely Luca. He was always my no. 2 on TM.

My prescription has changed apes
I knew it had but thought it was the varifocal. It's actually my distance vision that's got worse.

Chicken and chips for tea

Yum yum

Evening wenches.

Exerciseclass is cancelled. Shame.

Poor MiniBadderzes

I too suspect I need new glasses because of a change in prescription. That’s going to have to wait though.

Well I’m impressed by your DIY skills Helen

Oh Apricot re tooth. Hope the pain is going to go away.

Ah lovely Luca

DS2 needs to finish his reading, do some spellings, and one lot of maths before the Only Connect final starts. He’s presently outside playing. Oh ‘eck.

Oh well LetUs - you'll just have to get extra exercise with the HBFs (oh, the hardship )

Really, my DIY skills are not all that in this case. I have lost bits from the spring closure mechanism in the process so we'll need to bodge it or buy a newone - le sigh

Oh arse, re. apricot's toothache. It can FTFO. I see that Luca is suggesting some distraction techniques involving rope though, so that's some consolation.

Badders - if you can't see properly, then you'll just have to feel your HBF way about Hope the DCs are feeling ok. Funnily enough, I was talking to a physio who said that it's much more effective.better to do lots of shorter, repeated planks than try to build up to one long one. I forget why though.

I might stick with 20 seconds then!!

What’s that expression used in connection with exercise? To get pumped I think it is.

Yes, I’m definitely going to do that

Remember Luca planking over the Radio 1 DJ?

We did some in a HIT class and it was something like a 30 second plank, 10 seconds rest, repeat x3 - rather than trying to do 1:30.

Luca is doing that wrong if wenches are involved. He needs to be moving up and down more. And in/out I'm sure he'll find someone willing to help him practise

We're watching Westworld S2. Bloody confusing but we're only 20 minutes in. I think I was the only ones watching ii in the tav last time, so I shall blether ot myself about it

Oh - there was a new TB pic on twitter - think it was part of the promo shoot for Don Carlos from www.michaelwharleyphoto.com/commissioned/film-theatre/#jp-carousel-824

Oooh

That’s the kind of thought that gets me through planking at exerciseclass

Hmm, not a bad pic of TB

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!!! I do like Westworld - though bloody gory.

Madame says that she's found Salvation on Netflix...

I'm off to the hayloft with jon

TB can join in too

😍

The trailers have always looked good for Westworld. Might get round to watching it one day.

Don’t have Netflix here —despite DS2 nagging for it—. Perhaps Salvation and Santi will pop up on Amazon or Sky or something.

Hayloft for me too. Lucifer’s going to tell me off and Lee’s going to go all Thranduil on me

Morning.

Madame wasn't overly complimentary about Salvation but I suspect if you watch it on the same basis as TM - i.e. for the FAF, and not the plots or scripting, then it would be fine

It is lovely and sunny here - no rain and the birds are singing their little hearts out. Thank goodness. I was getting sick of the incessant rain.

Morning wenches.

Why else would one watch Salvation?

Was sunny here. Cloudy now. How is it May already?

M is for.... My list. Brain not working yet.
