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

Morning
Very sunny here too, thankfully as I still have a cold & am finding it hard to move - at least it looks nice out.

Ah, miniWench drama! It's what the emoticon was made for

Afternoon. I'm up to my ears in old toys, books and vehicles which DS has asked me to sell on Facebook for him. I don't mind, I have much more time than they have.

Going back to Strictly can't let it go Charles is a better dancer than Joe or Lauren, he shouldn't have gone, but anyone up against Ashley in the dance-off is going to go because she's a professional dancer. And yes LetUs Craig said Charles' rumba was the best he'd seen on Strictly. He scored it 8, yet he scored Jay McGuinness 9.

Oh, new page. Get better soon Fancy.

Evening wenches.

Thanks for trying to get the sunshine to me Helen.

Feel —HBFs— better soon Fancy

Craig did indeed score Jay’s rumba higher Apricot. Charles was a better dancer than Lauren and Joe (at the latin) but I don’t think Karen has as big a fan base as the other pros (even though it obviously shouldn’t be about that). I don’t mind Ashley, I think because I’m fairly sure she won’t win it. There’s usually someone with dance training knocking about each series. I’ve seen the dances for the semis and there are some interesting choices. I stand by your decision Apricot that we need to usurp the judges and Set Matters Straight

Doubt I’ll get to Mrs Wilson before the weekend. I’ve realised it’s Christmas Day three weeks today and I’ve done more or less nothing. Aaarrrgghhhhhh!! Need to make lists

Evening. Have watched Dynasties and shovelled DS off to bed and finally remembered to read him part of the Xmas book that we always read in December #MakingMemories

Apricot could you sell lots of stuff for me as well? I so badly need a clear out, but I think I'm going to end up charity shopping a load of stuff because of the hassle of selling it on.

Fancy - don't worry, you don't need to move, the HBFs have their own transport to get to you...

Were you also #FeelingBlessed Helen?

I don’t know about Fancy, but I’m feeling transported

Have watched Lego Masters. Very very impressive

If it makes you feel any better *letus, I've done pretty much bugger all Christmas prep. Am feeling really coldy and meh, so not likely to do anything to remedy that tonight. In happier news, ScaredyCat has just climbed inside my cardigan for a cuddle

I so need to get rid of some stuff apricot - am woefully behind my aim of getting rid of one thing everyday this year.

I was truly bored blessed LetUs
(Actually, it makes me feel like less of a rubbish parent because I have to make the effort and DS seems to enjoy it)

Hurrah for cuddly cats

helen, some bits of parenting really are tedious - it's a good job there are some marvellous bits to balance it out!

You can get Athos to polish your halo Helen

I should head to the hayloft. Didn’t get much sleep last night which sadly was not HBF related. Shall just try to give my subconscious a boost.

Night

He can polish my halo any time, as you well know.

Also heading for hayloft....

argh - slept in, running late....

No idea what it's like outside other than dark.

Morning wenches.

No idea what it’s like outside other than dark Helen

That pretty much sums it up

Better get on with breakfast and chivvying

Wet. It's wet. NIAGW.

Helen

And despite it being wet , I am going to have to take an antihistamine because my eyes are itching again —although I know it’s not only weather related—

Morning, it's foggy outside ScaredyCat is being snuggly again, but I need to go and make a packed lunch.........

We have sun here today! Amazing!

Afternoon. So miserable and dark here today.

Evening wenches. I’m pleased somewench has got sun today. It’s been so dreary today, I fear I may never see the sun again

Powers That Be have been playing blame the support staff today because they’re too fecking cowardly to deal with the people who are actually getting stuff wrong. Tossers.

Oooooooh, yes, thank you.

Evening. It is raining like the Kinks (All Day and All of the Night) Also, like HBFs, because they last that long too. Fact. I'm thinking we may need to round them up onto an Ark - with us too, obviously.

Work today was tedious beyond tediousness, but I got through it without resorting to caffiene, which is an unexpected bonus.

Now I have to shovel DS up to bed. And he still hasn't tidied up...

at the Kinks

DS2 is in pyjamas and is upstairs. Not actually in bed though. I think he’s watching football with DS1. Ah well, two out of three.

by the way . I have HBFs for that sort of thing.

I am being a cat bed, so shall make myself unpopular by turfing them off and heading for the hayloft

I wouldn’t treat that as an either or option Helen

Have watched Condor in bed. Shall have a bit of a YouTube and then hayloft.
