Swagger Inn thread 164 --Gorillas-- HBFs in the mist - aka Where's the bloody Sun?

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

Or if not mist, then atmospheric lighting...

New thread offically open, complete with [ brew] etc. And Hayloft. Speaking of which...

Morning all. No lie-in today, I am Worky McWorkface until I have to go and be a taxi for DS...

PS - FAF always stands to attention for us

Morning wenches. I’ve had a proper lie in this morning. Hopefully I’ll feel better for it.

Boooo to working. I’d have to self-isolate with DH and the DC wouldn’t I? Hmm, perhaps not. Perhaps if I happen to be in the Tav when the fortnight begins.

I may have found a film with Johnny Flynn in it so I’ll give that a try at some point. Also need to watch Picard today hopefully.

LetUs - we need to be able to self-isolate in the Tav - that's the only option for us. After all, we wouldn't want to risk infecting our families and the FAF is immune to all illness and disease. Fact.

Johnny Flynn was in the recentish TV version of Vanity Fair - playing Dobbin, so not really the heartthrob role.

Being lazy here this morning - precisely nothing achieved so far. May potter in the garden in a bit.

Evening.

Haven't done much today. DS came round with the DGC this afternoon. He also bought another pile of stuff for me to sell on eBay. Can't be bothered to sort it today.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend.

Johnny Flynn is quite young. But no thanks.

There is rugby on TV. DH is home and watching so I'm keepig him company. There are lots of thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighs. Gareth North is playing

Inconvenient cat is 'helping' by lying on my arm, excpt he's just got tired of being jiggled about and has moved to being sprawled beside me and demanding a tummy rub. Awww.

Also, Gareth North? FFS - George North!

at Gareth North

I remember trying Vanity Fair. I think I managed about 20-30 minutes of it. I’ve watched some of Beast. He does have a charisma about him. Obviously the period dress in Emma helped too

Not done much today. Bit of tidying up in the kitchen, some washing, visited the parents, homework wrangling.

I liked Vanity Fair (the TV one - yes?) but I don't remember him in it.

Off to the hayloft now...

I should also head to the hayloft but I’m watching tv

DS and DH are out, I worked to midnight last night - I sense a Picard mini-binge coming up... [grn]

Morning wenches

Not sure what the weather is up to today.

Plan today includes ironing and homework, but at the moment I’m watching Midsomer Murders. There’s loads of rabbits in it - super cute.

Morning
He's a bit blond for me, although thought he did pretty well in Emma. Didn't think Callum Turner looked as good as normal - maybe it was the period costume, he looked too bulky.

Ended up mumcabbing last night - had an unexpected bonus though. Decided to get petrol as I was literally driving past the supermarket on the way back & the supermarket actually had some loo roll and the things I forgot to buy on Friday because I didn't write a list

Agree with you about Callum Turner Fancy. Couldn’t put my finger on it before, but you’re right - I think it was the costume. He played the part of a bit of a git very well though.

Have watched the Foyle’s War episode with Andrew Scott in it. Ironing done.

Very much got the Sunday blahs today.

Afternoon. April showers in March here.

Latest mishap from DH: He put toothpaste on his brush this morning and then wandered round the room holding the brush. Went to the window, 'oh neighbour's car hasn't been there for a few days, wonder if they're visiting MIL in Scotland, hope she hasn't got the virus.' Wanders back into shower room still holding brush, but with no toothpaste on it!! Cue mad search of room for missing toothpaste - nothing. So now we're going to find a gooey mess on something in a few days time. I couldn't make it up.

Yay for loo rolls. I always keep a plentiful supply so it hasn't affected me, but I haven't got any hand sanitiser and you can't get any round here.

Aaaaand... we have our first case of coronavirus in the town. He/she is in the hospital where DD works. Getting scary now.

We’ve just had quite a bit of rain here too.

DH and DC are watching the football —as you can probably hear—.

Homework hasn’t gone well. I’m running out of ideas.

at the Mystery of the Missing Toothpaste. re that development Apricot.

I’ve - try not to be too jealous - sorted out and tidied up my knicker and sock drawer this afternoon. I’d much rather be doing sexy things with HBFs.

Evening. I've hit a wall of tiredness for reason I don't quite know.

Urgh Apricot - congealed toothpaste is such a pain. It to be a mantra here - "Toothpaste stays in the bathroom" because DS would wander about while he cleaned his teeth. Good luck finding it.

I have binged-watched up to date with Picard, and DH's Amazon trial runs out tomorrow, so I'll have to log in as my father next This afternoon has mainly been spent sorting through old seeds and clearing the garden. Got loads of out of date flower seeds that I'm just going to scatter round the edge of the garden and see if any grow. It could look fabulous, but I've tried similar before and not got anywhere, so I think it will be a bit pointless really.

We're fine for toilet roll, but I do need to get more weetabix - hope that's not out of stock

Good luck finding the toothpaste apricot.

I've not found any problems getting any food helen, just loo rolls & painkillers round here. And hbfs - there are never any of those on the shelves

Pfft, never mind 'out of stock' - I don't think our shops ever stock HBFs. FFS and all that.

Hayloft...

Morning wenches.

What’s even more outrageous is there doesn’t even appear to be a gap on the shelves where the HBFs could be!

Bit breezy here today. DS2 is demonstrating yet again how he is most definitely not a morning person.

Morning.
I'm now amusing myself with which hbfs would be in which supermarket........

Exactly LetUs - there's not even the gap. I checked this morning since I did an early shop. (I'm glad to report that there is no apocalypse going on locally - plenty of loo roll, though some gaps on the shelf for paracetamol - but I don't think that's a new thing, I've seen it before.)

Anyway, this morning's 'fun' was a melt-down from DS because he doesn't want to go to school due to a particular lesson. Managed to get him in today, but this is going to be ongoing - argh....

(Can we not just bin Mondays? Do we really need them? We could have two Saturdays instead?)

Evening. Pouring down again here. So depressing.

Yep, Monday can do one, this Monday anyway.

< grabs Athos >

Evening wenches.

It’d be a special wench supermarket, for all your wench and HBF needs Fancy.

Oh poor MiniHelen.- how is he now?

Plenty rain here too Apricot. Rubbish isn’t it?

I’m so tired my brain can’t come up with anything to say. I do however still have to go and assist with homework. This should be interesting.
