Swagger Inn thread 165 - wenches get --locked-- down with the HBFs (ylt)

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

Lockdown rolls on, so we're staying in and isolating with the FAF.
The bar is stocked, the floor has been mopped, the tables have been wiped, and the HBFs are however you want them

(We're also doing lots of washing and gardening.)

Morning.

Whoop! I'm up and at a computer before I have to start work! That hasn't happened for a while It's nice and sunny outside, so fingers crossed for a nice day

3 weeks wicked Wow... Do you have loads of annual leave, or are you just taking most of it now in a block?

Morning wenches.

Hope your day stays sunny and you get to enjoy some of it Helen.

Also hope rained on wenches get some dry, warmer weather. Seems quite breezy here. Hmm whether to wear a light hoody when I do the exercisething or not.

Aaaaand it’s just started throwing it down. That was not forecast.

I must go to a shop today to buy some birthday cards, and also some stamps —there’s a strong chance this won’t happen. Again—

I have five weeks in total/year Helen and I'm taking three weeks of them now. How many vacationdays do you guys get?

Exercisething done. My beautiful new trainers are a bit muddy now but my feet and lower legs definitely felt better supported.

I get 25 days Wicked.

Logged out early so I'm officially off work now Is it too early for

Well done on exercising Letus!

We had rain and thunder here earlier Fancy

ww both at the thunder & the holiday - I'd get 21 days if I were full time.

I get 25 days but if I worked for the Swedish NHS I would get 31 days since I'm over 40. People that work for the government and universities get even more days

Evening. It's gone quite sunny here, but still a cold wind. The washing dried well even though I had to go and rescue some shirts which had blown off the line.

Yay for 3 weeks holiday WW. Never too early for .

Will watch Deep Blue Sea at some juncture. I enjoyed it at the cinema.

Watching Midsomer Murders. Fun to watch Barnaby trying to do yoga

Too early for ? I don’t understand the question

Blimey I thought my 25 days was a bit crap. Ours go up according to years’ service, although mine’s capped now at 25. Not sure what the position is with government and NHS holidays here.

at washing blowing off the line.

Haven’t done much of anything today.

Me earlier today: Vacation, wohoo
Me now at not even 9 o'clock: 😴😴😴

Evening. I get 25 days holiday, pro-rata. I think I might get more if I stay there long enough, but I'm not sure. I should check really but I don't want to get my hopes up Fancy - do you get longer if you work there for more than 5 years or something?

Today I have done exercise in the rain, because I was just feeling a bit stir crazy and wanted to get out of the house. (Admittedly it wasn't raining when we went out, but the clouds were well dodgy and it was raining by the end.)

FFS at washing blowing off the line Apricot - very irritating

Did you get the cards LetUs? And hurrah for the new trainers - even if they are a bit damp and muddy now.

Wicked - you need to get tucked up in bed (with a HBF...)

Wicked. It’s important to pace yourself

Unsurprisingly I didn’t go and buy the cards. FFS what is wrong with me? I seem to have become very reluctant to get in the car and go anywhere. I walked to my sister’s the other day and then other sister’s partner drove to the sports shop.

I am imagining you exercising in the rain as if in a music video Helen

Like in Flashdance when the bucket of water emptied on her? Except with a bike as well. Not sure how that would work tbh, but we're wenches - we can improvise

That was exactly what I was thinking of! You could have a static bike and rig a series of buckets over it, operated say by pedal speed and also by the brakes. And HBFs on hand to help you get out of those wet clothes

It’s Friday evening. We’re watching an episode of Escape to the Country from about 2012 or 2013 on a random channel. Rocknroll.

Is it one with that guy that's always red in the face Letus?

No, although I know who you mean . It was Nicki Chapman (I think). They were looking on the west coast of Scotland. The last property was lovely with gorgeous views so I’ve just been down a RightMove rabbit hole looking at properties in Scotland.

We're watching a documentary about Martina Navratilova. But actually I want to go to bed But I've got two cats sitting on me...

Morning wenches.

Was that the one where it had/talked about her wedding Helen? I cried at that bit it was so lovely. If it’s a different one, I’ll have to download it.

Hope the cats eventually moved.

I am definitely definitely going out today. DS2’s trainers are probably at least a size too small so that’s an incentive.

Already getting that feeling that I should do something useful instead of sitting on the couch watching Dragon's Den. I wonder if it's the Lutheran in me

The alternative would be that you can hear my mother’s voice as it carries around the world Wicked

You’re on holiday and this is your chance to relax. Schedule the useful stuff for another day.

Morning. It is sunny and I should be doing stuff

pfft.

Also, attempt number one to fill the tooth cavity failed yesterday I'll have to try again today. FFS and all that...

Afternoon.

My days go up one per year from now on until I get to 25. More holiday would be nice, but as work are pretty good about letting me switch my days round if I want, I almost never have to use a days holiday to go to appointments and I can manufacture four day weekends for short breaks without using holiday, so it's not so bad.

Letus

Really schizofrenic weather here today. Sun, rain, cloudy, sun, rain etc

Vacuumed and also changed the bed sheets

Went to the supermarket and hardly anyone kept their distance, scary

Evening. It was supposed to be sunny and warm here so I put the cushions on the lounger. Ten minutes later it clouded over.

I think masks are going to be mandatory in shops soon, so I've been making some different designs for DD and I.

Well done for being productive WW.

Is the tooth painful Helen? You're very brave.
