Swagger Inn 156 - The Weather Is Getting Hot, The HBFs Will Always Be Hotter

[LetUsPrey]

Best I could do and

Morning. Is cooler here generally I think - esp. having seen a weather forecast last night (when I was up far too late and am an idiot.)

Also, DS arrived in our bed at 1:40 along with DH thrashing bout announcing that he couldn't get to sleep... On the plus side, DH has to go to the office for a meeting so I can have a sneaky nap get the housework done while he's out

Yes, getting the housework done is definitely a good idea

Have some help.

Have just spent a happy half hour+ sitting in the garden getting sunburnt wiring up the damage that the squirrels have done to the 'Squirrel-proof' bird feeders. I finished, put the peanuts back in... Inconvenient Cat comes and licks out the peanut dust from the tub that I'd put them in. WTAF cat?! Those are peanuts!
Is it a bird?! Is it a cat?! WhoTF knows.... Maybe he thinks that he's a squirrel now, having failed to catch any despite scaring the living daylights out of them.

Afternoon. Still hot! It reminds me of 1976 when I was very pregnant and had to sleep in the garden on a sunbed because I couldn't get comfortable in bed.

Thanks for the good wishes. DH is okay although he's in more pain with this one. Depending on how the physio goes he may be out tomorrow afternoon, or it may be Saturday.

Hope the op helps Badders. I now nothing about it so can't comment.

Those fires sound worrying.

Evening wenches.

Does InconvenientCat need to be renamed ConfusedCat?

I have properly wilted at work today. Productivity levels plummeted at about 3.30.

Although the thought of being heavily pregnant in this heat makes me wilt further. Apricot if I was wearing a hat, I would take it off for you.

Fires seem to be under control. The fire service have done a bloody incredible job. The army have joined in too and have been fab. The only issue we had here was the smell yesterday but that’s gone.

We’re watching the football. I’ve found someone a bit more annoying than DH to watch football with. DS2.

Oh and hope MrApricot recovers as quickly as he can and is home soon.

How scary with the fires Letus

Hope the op will help you Bads. Lots of hugs.

Oh, new posts I missed

Glad the fire is under control Letus

Blimey Apes

It was weird how far the smell of smoke could travel - we’re about 25 miles from it all so in absolutely no danger at all.

I’ll still have the though

I think that Inconvenient Cat and Stupid Cat are looking to change names, tbh.

The army have been called in have they LetUs - men in uniform? Something like these? Jolly good...

Absoblimminlutely like that Helen

In which case, I think you'll find that the heat isn't being caused by any fires.
They're putting the H in HBF

And as the title says the HBFs will always be hotter

DS2 has a swimming lesson tomorrow. It was too hot last week in the viewing area.

Hayloft for me. There’s perfectly adjusted air conditioning and a selection of HBFs.

bleurgh.......................................

Why is is not summer holidays already? I don't want to be up, I don't want to be wrangling DS. I am tired and it's my own stupid fault for watching TV late last night... And I have to go an sit in a non-airconditioned mobile today and bake.

Can you swim at the same time as DS2 LetUs? Cool down in the pool and feel virtuous for keeping fit and active?

Morning wenches. Friiidddaayyyy

Urgh that sounds unpleasant Helen, the location today.

I could just sit with my feet in the pool I suppose. No need then for all that tedious getting changed

DS1’s prom tonight. How is my PFB going to prom?

He's not going to a prom LetUs - he's going down the pub with his friends. He's just telling you it's a prom

Come and join me i the cwtch cupboard with the aircon unit and some HBFs. No-one will know we're there....

I am so going to be late...

One of his friend’s dads is driving them and picking them up. No sneaking off to an after prom party . Although I suspect he’ll be itching to get back to the wifi at home.

It's late enough to start drinking right? Have been eyeing up the Pimms all day

Ugh

Too hot

Afternoon wenches

Go for it Wicked. You’re on holiday!

Swimming lesson was hideous. Never been as hot or uncomfortable in my life.

Just waiting for DS1 to be picked up for his prom. My PFB looks so grown up!

I’m having a Cosmopolitan popsicle very soon

I really like the sound of those popsicles!

They are amazing. Pimms do one but they don’t sell them anywhere near me. Perhaps this is a good thing.

Evening, well DD is off on her school trip - was a rather early start

It's totally alright to start drinking ww I can't decide on Pimms or a cold beer.......

How is MrA's recovery coming along apricot?

Evening wenches, I'm knackered. I spent the morning cleaning windows and hoovering and it's too hot.

Last night I got up at 4.45 to go to the loo and the burglar alarm was going off. I don't know what time it started as I don't hear it in the bedroom when the door's shut. I went downstairs with much trepidation brandishing my German WW2 ceremonial dagger, which looks impressive but isn't sharpened, but all the doors were closed and everything was in order. This leaves me with the thought that there's a massive spider somewhere in the house which had set off one of the passives. Eeek!

Anyway, DH is home! He's tired but fine. His meds are a nightmare this time; three lots of tablets to be taken once a day, three times a day with food and four times a day, together with the syringe of blood thinners as before. In addition he has to put an ice-pack on his leg three times a day and do various exercises. Nurse Apricot is on duty again.

Hope NotSoMiniLetUs enjoys his prom.
