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

[LetUsPrey]

Evening

I like walking but yes decent shoes are a must (side eyes blisters)

It's awful how our bodies change after 40...there is no way I should weigh what I do with what I eat but I think it's true that once in Peri menopause you need to calories restrict and up the exercise

It's not fair 😡😡😡

It’s not is it?

And there’s DH - barely any different from when we first met. Git.

Just watched the Lucifer series finale. If this series had been that good all the way through, it might not have been cancelled FFS.

I’m off to the hayloft so I’m not tempted to eat anything. Well, nothing that’ll have calories in it

Aging is fantastic. My complexion is quite amazingly brilliant these days. Admittedly, that is mainly because I can't see the blackheads etc without my glasses now and I never wear my glasses to look in a mirror. Also I no longer care about the middle age acne thing that keeps popping up, and is very definitely visible without my glasses on..

Sadly, glasses or not, I can see how papery the skin on the back of my hands is, and I can't type with my eyes shut, so there's no escaping that.

Anyway, I got out and planted the potatoes in the prepared ground (no imitaters LetUs ), then came back in and found that the computer had decided to to a 1.5 hour update, my laptop was throwing a wobbly, which took a similar amount of time to fix and is now also doing the mega-update. So that leaves me with my tablet-with-a-keyboard thingy, and god help us if that decides to update as well So I have given up on the idea of trying to carry on working tonight and come to bed with the TWIK to blether online. DH is downstairs watching sport of some sort. I've no idea what.

Can you get Trading Standards involved Apricot? Or at least Vinnie... Bloody annoying though. Hurrah for the nice lunch though.

at *Badders revamping her upstairs ick re. hospital and fasting.

I'm going to snuggle down in the hayloft now and think happy HBF thoughts, which my sobconscious (there's an appropriate typo for you!) will proceed to ignore.

Yeah my hands are not looking great Helen. Suppose some hand cream might help. Or it might not.

If you’ve got a potato that’s especially good, you could call it Charlie Chaplin - The Great Dictator. I’ll get my coat.

I’m going to watch some Killers videos on YouTube and then I’m definitely going to the hayloft where I will express my great admiration and appreciation of Brandon’s huge talent.

Morning wenches. Fridayfridayfridayfridayfriday

Sun is shining. The washing is on the line.

Had a Paella dream. Lots of flirting and smiling and laughing. He suggested getting a drink with our colleagues. Went to the bar area. Amongst my colleagues were Louis Smith the gymnast, and Helen.

Yay! I work with LetUs Good dream. I don't remember mine. FMSobconscious.

I'm going to go an label individual potato plants with their names at this rate, for the sheer entertainment factor.

eek! I need to get dressed for the school run ...

You’d even saved a space Helen so I could sit next to you

Hope all’s going well today Badderz

Morning.

Nice dream LetUs.

Creams make no difference. I've always looked after my hands. As previously stated, I always wear gloves for washing up etc. and have religiously used hand cream every night all my life. I still have old lady hands. Might be something to do with being a sun-worshipper though.

You do need to eat less as you get older. I eat a smaller meal than a child, weigh less than I have done for many years, but still look bigger than DD who is a stone heavier. You can't win.

Paypal are still reviewing my case. The seller has offered a partial refund which I have refused. If I accept the case is closed, and then I know the refund won't materialise. Although the company appear to be American, the items came from China, so there's not much else I can do.

Good luck for today Bads.

Dream me is very thoughtful - in other peoples' dreams at least.

FFS re. online clothes buying. Aren't they meant to comply with Sale of Goods Act if they sell here, or are you stuffed if they're not in this country?

I am busy freelancing for the first time in ages. I thought I would stick S3Ep1 on in the background. I am much dismayed - in the mood I'm in, I can't get past the way that the position of Athos and his horse moves about randomly in the opening sequence. He's leading the charge... no, wait he's surrounded by foot soldiers. No - he's leading it... nope, surrounded.... Oops - he's fallen off and everyone's running past him. Oh - no - he's out in the front again, but on the ground with no footsoldiers in sight to rescue him from oncoming Spaniards... FFS at continuity and me being pernickety.

I particularly like how they've managed to crop Badders out, even though she's actually sitting on him...

Apparently the Sale of Goods Act is unenforceable when the seller is from another country. If the Paypal claim fails I'll try the bank as it went through my credit card. If that fails, as you say, I'm stuffed Oh well, lesson learned.

Yes, it is a bit of a mess, perhaps they thought no-one would analyse it after two years notice.

Aw thanks Helen❤

Procedure done but im still a bit woozy...

Hoping to be let home soon

Admittedly, I didn't notice on first viewing Apricot - far too much perving else going on
In the extras on the DVD, TB has distinctly blue hands though (and we're back to Aramis 'Sorting out' LetUs nails again

One more email to go then freelancing part one is done...

Evening wenches.

Hope you get your money back Apricot. Stupid twatty mctwatty bastards.

Sigh at the inevitability of visible aging.

at Musketeers non continuity.

Glad it’s done Badderz.

DS1 sportingactivity tonight. Not sure HBI will be there.

So I have blockage in the sewage, tried to fix it until 1 o'clock this morning but it didn't work, so I've had to pee in a bucket, lovely. Then I was so stressed out I couldn't sleep so I've been a zombie all day and is behind with work.
Mum's BF tried to fix it this evening but no good. So we will probably need professional help but will wait until Monday cause it costs a fortune during the weekends.
Thankfully my sis lives next door so I can use her toilet for pooping.

Lots of hugs for Bads

Feeling sleepy

Lucky Sleepy

urgh wicked

I'm tired, and DS wants to snuggle up in bed with me. I may or may not be back later...

Helen

Urrgghh at blockage Wicked. Lucky your sister’s next door though. Hope it’s sorted quickly.

Right Badderz, hayloft. Now. Alone. You need to rest.

HBI was there and on form.

Try not to go forwards and down, try to go down
Push the hips in and hold them tight
Relax before you do it and then push
And once you’ve got the position you can keep it continuous
And if you do it like that, it’s a lot harder

And I must say that watching a squat thrust into a press up was quite entertaining

Am loving the Graham Norton Show tonight

I think Aidan’s on —me— the show in a couple of weeks.

Chateau for me. Aramis is holding the Blue Sash Of Sex and giving me The Stare.

Morning wenches.

Beautiful day here. Need to go into town but otherwise it’ll be a day of washing, revision nagging, and sitting outside in the sun

Morning. Lovely and sunny here, and the washing machine is beeping so I need to go hang out the washing.

Where's Fancy? I'm tempted to joke that she can't get a signal from the chapel in Windsor...

fancy is here, definitely not in Windsor

Having a nosey at the wedding coverage......

Am also watching some of the wedding. Flipping love the dress. Dan Snow’s there, looking gorgeous. And I’m a bit in love with Amal Clooney.

Taking notes for wench weddings to HBFs. That chapel would be handy. Looks big enough to hold all the grooms
