Swagger Inn 159 - It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas......

[ApricotCrush]

The HBFs have promised to come down the wenches' chimneys on Christmas Eve

I was just looking for my glasses until I realised I had them on me

WW. I do that regularly. I've even gone to bed with them on and then realise why I feel strange.

WTF at that homework Apricot?! How about also getting a teenager to come off their computer/put their phone down? Getting a child to do their homework with no complaints? Explaining to any one of a number of people at work how to do simple printing tasks?

Don’t do that with my glasses but I have been known to wonder where my car keys are when I’m driving the car.

What’s that Aramis? Something about tying someone down and something about blowing? Happy to oblige.

Catching up with Les Miserables today. That Javert needs a hobby.

Is that the policeman bod? We're only 2 episodes in and he's very, um, obsessed dedicated to his job.

I'm having a bath and early night tonight. Freelancing is semi on schedule I hope...

That’s the chap.

Hope the freelancing semi status soon comes to full fruition Helen

We’re going to do an episode of Magnum.

Evening

I'm about to tackle the last of the ironing pile while watching teh last of the Father Teds I taped over Christmas. It is probably windy out there but I'm refusing to look

Is either massively windy here and hammering rain against the window, or it's a bit windy and it's hailing. Not sure which

I must get DS watching Father Ted... But not right now obvs, because he's asleep and I'm in bed.

Night all

Night Helen.

DS1 might need another go with Father Ted to get him into it. I suspect DS2 would like it.

DD was decidedly unimpressed when I showed her an episode sadly. Not even kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse made her laugh

Where did we go so wrong Fancy?

Might try DS1 with the one with the rabbits. I think that’s our favourite episode.

I’m falling asleep. Hayloft for me.

Oh that one is good letus

Morning wenches.

That’s a “laugh so much you can’t breathe” that one

Can I go back to bed please? I don’t wanna go to work

Waiting for DS1 to text to say he’s on the bus. They’ve changed bus operators and this one’s a bit earlier.

He’s on the bus. Phew

I may travel in by horse.

Brrr to riding this morning (horses that is - or bikes. HBFs - on the other hand... )

Is very wet and squelchy underfoot here, but stopped raining for now - there is eve blue sky
.
Twitter this morning is full of people being enthusiastic about The Souvenir
I'm guessing it was cold judging by the pictures at twitter.com/Loveel_who/status/1089764719798431744

Anyway... need to do the 'get dressed/school run/work' thing.

Also - cat vom. bleurgh. First proper one for a few weeks though, which is I though we'd solved that problem by switching to expensive healthy food Stupid Cat doesn't want to eat except getting anything else would require going out and hunting for it herself.

Ho hum... have a good day all.

Well it would be warmer if you shared a horse helen

This sort of thing then Fancy?

Peeing down with rain again here. No walks for me unless I'm after a bout of hypothermia.

Evening. Where's Elk, she usually appears when someone posts that gif?

It's DH's birthday today, so the DC have just been round after work to see him. We can't be arsed to go out to celebrate.

There's a Q & A video from with TB et al. I don't know whether it's the video or my ears, but I can't hear a word they're saying.

Happy Birthday MrA!!! [etc]

Elk can't log in - she tried for the comedy/klaxon value but I think she's lost her password again

It's the video Apricot - Mumble-mumble-mphwrr-fmmt-bhhft hhmmmt-nurrr-mmmm
Actually, it's not that indecipherable (laptop speakers are better than the desktop) but it's a bit 'swedish chef' at times. I think that he's mumbling about someone being in a scene that he didn't know about (as in it was't in his script?) and improvising a lot of it and how it wouldn't have been possible without the director giving him lots of background material to give him more insight into the character. I think. Couldn't swear to it.

Back to work again...

Happy birthday MrApes

Evening wenches.

Oh StupidCat . LetUsCat could only eat food in jelly rather than gravy, and would turn his nose up at anything expensive I bought him as a special treat.

Hope you got out for a walk Fancy. I’m very much in favour of Thrusty Galloping. Weren’t they once on John Peel’s The Peel Sessions?

Happy happy birthday MrApricot!

From your initial transcription there Helen you could have been listening to some of the pillocks I work with.

Rubbish day. Certain things at work go like this. Raise issues again about a person’s work. Get assurances issues have been addressed with person. Find out issues were only sort of half discussed because that would be uncomfortable or some shit. Get in today. Nothing’s changed. I’m fucking exhausted by it. Le sigh.

and and [HBFs] for LetUs

I am having a FFS at people who agree to do something, don't do it, and then ask you to do it instead.

Helen I am more convinced than ever that we work in the same place from that description.

Thanks for the drinks and HBFs. That gif stops in the wrong place

We are as one LetUs - apart from preferred HBFs

The GIF leaves the end result to your imagiation...

Don’t work too late Helen Athos is being stern too

I shall indeed use my imagination where gifs are concerned.

Night
