Swagger Inn 158 - Weather Turning Chilly - It’s Important To Layer Up - HBFs To The Rescue

[LetUsPrey]

Layering up is indeed the best way to stay warm as the weather turns chilly. Fortunately HBFs also come with cloaks and coats which makes them doubly effective

We have been for a scenic countryside walk. Can I have a physio for my hip? Failing that, I'm sure HBFs could give the general area a close examination

pfft at lack of HBI. Very inconsiderate of him.

Athos is flexing his fingers so he’ll be good and ready to sort you out Helen. He also said he’ll give you a massage first.

Been out to see mum and dad. Back now and going to carry on with Lethal White.

Evening. Lovely day here, but I've just turned the heating up as it's gone cold.

Glad Fancy's having a good time and LetUs enjoyed U2.

Oh Helen not someone else with a hip problem, it must be catching.

Love the idea of a cat and kitten area in the tav.

Watched Strictly, have no idea who'll be in the dance-off as it seems very unpredictable this year.

I now need to go and paddle slight exaggeration in the kitchen as DH has cleaned the carpet tiles.

We've watched Doctor Who. I am being a cat bed. I ought to go strip the chicken but that would involve turning Stupid Cat off my lap, so I will just mooch online for a bit longer.

I think wenches have hip problems because of all the bending and flexing they do of that particular area

Looks like Marchal helped you in the kitchen Apricot

We’re watching Doctor Who tomorrow instead of later as DS2 wants to watch. DH wants to watch another episode of Informer which normally I’d be fine with, but I want to finish Lethal White.

I have stripped athos the chicken and am heading for the hayloft.

I expect you're right about the hip issue LetUs - oh well, it's worth it.

Lucky —Athos— chicken. Night Helen

We didn’t watch Informer because, despite three of us knowing that if we wanted to watch ep2 it would have to be downloaded, I hadn’t realised that apparently I’m the only person who would be capable of doing that. Fucksake.

We’ve watched Doctor Who, so will watch again with DS2. Enjoyed it. Think DS1 enjoyed it, although he won’t admit it

Going to carry on with my reading. I’m gripped.

Finished it. Bloody hell, that was good! If they could get a move on with the TV script and filming it, that would be super.

Going to watch a bit of TV, perhaps some YouTube, then a generous serving of Paella in the hayloft.

Morning wenches.

Bright, sunny day, I’m have a lie in, and I’m off work until Wednesday! Woohoooooooo!!

When I was still upstairs I heard DS2 say “Alexa play Mr Brightside by The Killers”. I’m raising him right Walked into the kitchen and he’d got some plastic cups out and a couple of spoons and was pretending to drum along

Today’s plan involves pottering and —bribing— persuading DS2 to do homework.

at MiniLetUs.

I got up to four lovely piles of cat vom this morning. FFS. At least, being half term, once they were cleaned up and livestock fed and DS plugged in, I could go back to bed for a very lazy start to the morning.

DH is muttering about having to go into the office because of technical stuff. My genius idea didn't work. But also didn't make the situation any worse (phew)

It is bright and sunny here too, and I'm taking DS out later - by which time it will probably have clouded over but ho hum. We also have to re-start the homework thing Doom and gloom will reign.

I suggest that you potter with HBFs LetUs - 'Ghost' style

Could do with going into town too. I know I need to go to the library and there was something else I have to get, but I can’t remember what it is.

FFS, parking is bloody expensive these days...

Much better to get a ride in Helen

Have read Snap by Belinda Bauer. Blimey it was good —and needs to be back at the library—. Trip into town will happen tomorrow.

Kitchen been tidied, second wash is on, DS2 has done half of one lot of homework.

Afternoon wenches.

Marchal can help me in the kitchen any time he wishes .

You read that quickly LetUs. And at DS2 and his drumming.

Since when have Amazon had this add-on thing where you can't buy anything until you've spent £20? I don't want anything else, but it won't let me buy what I do want.

Not happy with the Strictly result.

WTF re. Amazon? It used to be free postage at £10, then at £20, but not actually being able to buy anything unless you've spent £20? That's a new one on me Mind you, I just went on my god daughters wish list and marked stuff as purchased elsewhere, and spent my money with someone who actually pays their tax, so to Amazon and for me.

DS is not doing homework, he is playing with slime...

Not sure what's happened with your order apricot - Amazon will let me order less that £20-worth of stuff, so...
In the meantime, I suggest that Marchal helps test out how sturdy your worktops are

I think that some items are only available now as add-ons to an order over a certain amount, although I remember trying to get DS2 a Schleich animal a few years ago which it said was an add-on. Bet it wasn’t a £20 threshold though then.

I reckon he’ll be gone from Strictly soon Apricot. Didn’t think either of them were particularly great in the dance off though.

DS2 is claiming I’ve stopped him doing homework today. Yeah, okay then. That happened.

Oh, yes re. Amazon. That rings a bell actually. Only with me I think it was something that was only available if you had Prime - or was greatly discounted if you had prime. FFS etc. I haven't really noticed the 'add-ons' thing.

at miniLetUs

Yes, the item I wanted for £4.72 was an add-on so I couldn't buy it on its own. I wouldn't mind, but I was also spending £60 on a clock, but because that isnt being deliverd by Amazon, it wasn't included. I don't have Prime btw.

And yes to Sean(n) going soon.

Marchal seems happy to be of assistance in any way he can Apricot

How’s the hip Helen? Athos has got some stretches to demonstrate

God, he's masterful!

I happened to be watching a YouTube video of a Killers concert today —everyday—. At one point Brandon said “do you want it? Do you... do you want it?” Fuck yes is, I believe, the correct answer.

Do we need to lob more money in the electricity meter to compensate for excessive airblade usage? tbh, I think at the moment you could just pop outside for a moment and the wind would cool you down to hypothermic levels...

This afternoon was mostly lovely weather, but see when the sun went in and the breeze caught you...? Brrrr! [icicle]

Chilly Helen? You need, let’s see, a cosy cabin somewhere, a roaring fire, lots of delicious food, and an HBF or two. That’ll keep your temperature up.
