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

Also enjoying Helen’s sturdy dining table

I’ve imagined the shower cubicle big enough for —at least— two, most recently in a mountain cabin in Utah. That’s where I’m heading now. Night.

Morning wenches. I seem to have gone to bed with my hair still damp from the shower. Totally worth it

It appears to be Monday again. Sigh.

So Fancy - will each of your 'rooms' actually be an open plan house with all the above features in them? Because that works too

Well... it's an imaginary enormous table, so plenty of room for sharing Good point re. outdoor facilities. We also need extensive gardens including a waterfall and tropical temperature plunge pool as well. And a flower meadow for picnics

Right, real life calls, I've forgotten to do DS's packed lunch...

Evening wenches.

at all the house extensions. And that MN thread, particularly the Primark label. When I was very pregnant with DS I put a new dress on and went to work, forgetting to cut the labels out the back. I walked around the office for at least an hour before one of my colleagues told me.

I've done some more eBaying today and filled a bag for the charity shop.

Better go and sort something out to eat.

Evening wenches.

Aaaarrrrggghh homework aaaarrrggghhhh

I am blinded by your halo Apricot. You need to do something naughty to make it slip a bit. Ah, I see that’s already in progress

I agree Helen. Very important to have a flower filled meadow as a space for eating out

Evening.
re homework. DS has some that he is utterly failing to do anything about

Well done on the ebaying apricot

But that's enough real life - I'm going to try out that kitchen worktop... it's got too dark for eating out just now.

we're watching Discovery of Witches.
"She's sleeping in my tower"
Maybe we could try that - the Chateau could have a tower (with appropriate rooms) for each HBF

Never too dark for that Helen

Excellent idea re the towers!

Homework was finished eventually with much shouting (DS2) but he needs to do some of it again and it’s due tomorrow.

We’ve watched tonight’s Black Earth Rising. Still good, still fairly clueless.

Going to do a bit of YouTubing and then head to the hayloft.

Morning. There was barely a hint of sunrise when I got up this morning. Woe
If anyone wants me I will be hibernating in the cwtch cupboard. Or underneath a warm blanket of HBF. Or both.

Morning wenches.

I’ve just put the washing out on the line. I suspect this will be the highlight of my day.

I'm getting really annoyed with that Matthew character in Lethal White

Evening. Slipped halo, moi? No, never.

Beautiful day here, so I've done nothing, except entertained DGS after school.

Matthew's not a nice person, is he WW?

Talking about not nice people, the Strictly curse strikes again. I wouldn't imagine Seann will survive on Saturday.

Right, where's the ?

Evening wenches. I will eventually start Lethal White. Not surprised that Matthew hasn’t improved though.

They’ve been proper idiots haven’t they Apricot? Wonder if they’ll be on It Takes Two as scheduled this week.

Have done yoga after a really crappy day at work.

Evening.

Matthew is a Grade A twat, I did also spend a lot of the book wanting to give Robin a shake/slap.

I have been on the stepper for the first time in weeks and picked up Anna Karenina again. I'm about half way through though it's a good book, it's just taking a long time to read it. I got another book out of the library which will be my reward for finishing it. And there's the one I bought as well.

DS has started on his big homework project of his own accord Who is this child and what has he done with my DS?! Problem is, he's still going and it's way past time he was upstairs, but I hate to stop him working on it! (On my laptop - hurrah for my tablet thingy!)

I feel the same way about Robin Helen, just leave him ffs!

Shh!!

Evening

lovely day - pity I spent nearly all of it inside
Still, DD did baking at school today & I am just about to sit down with a cup of tea & a bun (no, sadly not some warm buns ) so it hasn't all been bad.

We’ve watched ep7 of Killing Eve. Oooooo!

DS1 is pissing me off. Being an utter smartarse.

I need me some HBFs.

it turned out to be too nice for hibernating today. Good weather for 'eating out' in those meadows though

Night all...

Morning. The sun is starting to burn off the mist - looks like it's going to be a lovely day.

Tonight we are taking DS to the theatre - on a school night! Oh, the decadence... It's ok though, because its an educational sciency thing. Must remember to take not-work-clothes-and-shoes to change into after work for the yomp from the office to the theatre.

Have good day all.

Morning wenches.

Shaping up to be lovely here too, at least the weather is.

Enjoy sciency theatre trip Helen.

Really don’t want to go to work today, although I do have a meeting with someone (nothing out of the ordinary - we all have them) so I can raise the issues that been bothering me —again— and absolutely fuck all can be done about them —again—. Or I may just save my breath for more important things.

Evening. Lovely day here, I've been sitting out in the sun reading.

I used to enjoy DD's cooking efforts Fancy, it was always worth the effort of putting the ingredients together.

Enjoy the theatre Helen.

I've burnt my face. How do you do that on 10th October? I put cream on as well. I may have fallen asleep.
