Swagger Inn 162 - The summer's a bit of a wash-out at the moment but thoughts turn to holidays -

[ApricotCrush]

And wenches can use their imaginations to make the temperature rise and anything else they can think of.

"Sit ... down ... now"! Oh, Perez is angry

I am rather kissed

Autocorrect knows me best. Rather pissed. Can’t see any chickens

Morning wenches

I should be making an effort to get out of bed. Don’t want to. Party was lots of fun.

I know what you mean with that definition of page turner Helen. There should be an *saying “other definitions of page turner may apply.

Apricot - I suggest you give Catherine and Johannes’s Charleston a whirl, and also Kelvin and Oti’s rumba from last night’s Strictly. Both great but for entirely different reasons . I love Kelvin but not in that way. It’s like I’m growing as a person.

Morning. Hurrah for fun parties and kissing chickens My headache has mostly gone now, so hurrah for that. I should be being productive though, not mucking about online.

It’s like I’m growing as a person
But where's the fun in that?

Am off to the cinema to see Downton - can't persuade DD to come with me.

It’s like I’m growing... Isn't that what the HBFs say when they see us?

Hope Downton film was fun. I have been very productive today to make up for being a wet blanket yesterday.

Afternoon wenches.

I miss Perez WW. Is there going to be another series, I can't remember?

Glad the party went well LetUs. I'll check Strictly out later.

Hope you enjoyed Downton Fancy.

Yay for productivity Helen.

"I am rather kissed", sounds like a great party Letus

I think I might be ovulating cause I've been really horny today and also very productive, been shopping and bought some nice towels 20% off, and also a fab cushion and some othe bits and bobs. Then I cleaned the house, even vacuumed the sofa and handwashed some clothes.
On the couch now watching Midsomer Murders.

No idea about a new season Apes.

Hope Fancy enjoyed the film

Hurrah for productivity and shopping!

I’ll have a quick google and see if there’s news of a new Shetland. I know a new book came out so that’s hopeful.

We’re finally watching Manifest. Jolly good so far.

Well Downton was pure froth - Maggi Smith had some cracking lines though

Morning wenches.

Pleased you enjoyed the film Fancy. A few of my friends have seen it and really liked it.

DS2 is being his usual cheerful and happy morning self

Had very very weird dreams which I can’t really remember but have left an odd feeling. You know when you just can’t shake off a feeling, but it’s silly because it’s just dream leftovers? That.

Morning all. Froth is fine, and tbh you can't have expected much else from it. Downton doesn't really strike me as a vehicle for 'Searing social commentary' or 'Explosive Thriller' or 'Slapstick Genius' etc

It it cloudy and grey here - not very inspiring Have a good day all.

Morning
Well indeed helen, I definitely was not expecting intellectual rigour. It was escapist nonsense, and there's nothing wrong with that!

Do you think it is ever going to stop raining?

Afternoon. Raining here too.

Wildlife Corner. I keep seeing sprigs of holly leaves dotted around the garden and today I found the culprit. A squirrel was hanging upside down on our holly tree, pulling off a sprig, carrying it down to the lawn and one by one burying the berries. Little sod. At least he was taking them from the part that overhangs our neighbour so wasn't ruining our side.

We started World on Fire last night. Thought I recognised some of the places, googled, and yes, it was partly filmed in Prague/Czech Republic, so we were location spotting again.

Glad you enjoyed the film Fancy.

We just had some Thunder .

Yes - it's that time of year isn't it apricot. Though I haven't seen any jays burying acorns yet. And well done on location spotting

Evening wenches.

You’ll never guess what? It rained here too today! I know. Shocking.

Love the considerate squirrel Apricot And well done on location spotting.

Sometimes intellectual rigour just isn’t what you want is it Fancy? Other types of rigour though....

We’re about to do the second episode of Manifest.

I'm watching Motherland

I’ve done the first two episodes of that

Hayloft for me

Morning wenches. Very much with the totally can’t but arsed this morning. More weirdy feeling dreams that linger after I’ve woken up. Don’t like it

Is somewench starting a new thread? I’m out of title ideas.

I think I have created a NEW THREAD. My laptop is increasingly creaky and I'm not sure whether MN has noticed my repeated tapping of the 'new thread' button. Or it may be slow due to the decorations on it.

Oh - here we go... THREAD [[https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/other_subjects/3718022-Swagger-Inn-thread-163-its-raining-HBFs-rain-FML?]]

Off to work now. Doom.
Sympathies on linger dreams LetUs

(throws in FAF for good measure)

Morning
Properly at your description of the squirrel apricot. Thanks for the heads up re World on Fire locations - was planning to watch that so will look out for the scenery!

Finished Sanditon last night Going to start on The Name of the Rose too. And Motherland.

Back in the office today thank god. Speaking of which - should get moving.........
