Swagger Inn thread 166 - where the forrin one tries to come up with a witty title but fails

[WickedWenchOfTheNorth]

Morning wenches.

Gaviscon was much appreciated Helen.

Sunny here so it’s washing on and a walk. Ironing later. Dreams do come true eh.

Glad your meal was fun letus, but for the sake of your health I think some vigorous exercise is called for today. But don't wear Lucifer out as I am going to try your cold remedy.

That is a super idea Fancy. So thoughtful and considerate. I am going to partake in so much vigorous exercise that I will be unbelievably healthy by the end of the day.

You could perhaps have some honey and lemon Fancy. But the honey might be too sticky. And the lemon might sting. You could suck on the lemon? Or just throw the lemon away..

Washing done. Walk done. Ironing will be later this afternoon - it’s important to spread the excitement through the day.

Agreed LetUs - you need to spread the excitement. That's why, having sorted potato gleanings (into bashed and non-bashed) and helped stack wood, I'm having a little sit-down before I start on the next round of domestic excitement.

Afternoon. DH is playing golf with DS and SIL. It's raining.

I've had one of those days when I've started something, come across an obstacle and tried to sort it out unsuccessfully. This has happened multiple times and I've now given up.

Also, I'm cold. I'm thinking of putting the heating on.

Glad you had a lovely evening LetUs.

Strike tonight.

Now just steady on there Helen!

Oh Apricot that doesn’t sound like fun. You need to snuggle under Strike’s coat to warm up.

Ironing done. Ooooooo.

Managed to end up feeling like I've had a productive day - yet more picking and stewing of plums, then dug up lots of weeds.

Is Golf in the rain a thing? It doesn't sound like the most fun. Though peace and quiet while MrA is out, so there's that. Sounds like a frustrating day though.

We are watching another Mandalorian episode. The Mandalorian and friend are teaching a village to defend themselves against marauders. It's all very 'The Return' TV tropes a go-go...

Also, Ooooooohh!!! at US Open Tennis and in unrelated news, I'll watch Strike on Tuesday

Must be the day for weeds helen - fed the bin with another load + some windfalls here.

You're right letus . Much better to stick (possibly quite literally) to the old Team A remedy....... Biscoff spread licked off the naked body of Aramis

to Fancy for wench priorities (cold remedies and photo reviews)

Hayloft is calling.

Teaching a village to defend themselves also puts me in mind of The A Team

for your super-productivity Helen

Yes, massive oooooooo at the tennis! We’re watching Strike now. I’m finding the writing a tiny bit on the clunky side if I’m completely honest. Cast are all fantastic though.

I’ll errrr.... I’ll be back in several minutes

Ooooh Team A, BBC are repeating Heroes - more Santi , should be available on iPlayer.

Morning wenches.

I saw some of that last night too Fancy. Wench hive mind at work. It had Steven 2.0 in it from Dynasty

Anxiety dreams about DS1’s upcoming move have started nice and early. Hmm, hey subconscious, I’m so worried that I’ll never meet and get close to any of my HBFs. Let’s see if that works.

Rain here. Better have my breakfast and get going.

Morning. No rain here - but heavy autumnal mists means loads of scenic cobwebs in the garden, so quite pretty.
LOL at 'Stephen 2.0' There was at least two Fallons as well, IIR? Hurrah for OTT American Soapy Series. At least Heroes doesn't pretend that it's not properly bonkers (I had heard it was back on - Red tweeted about it... here we go - Thread. twitter.com/redfacts/status/1289884967502151682 - Dynasty even gets a mention too.)

Anxiety dreams can FTFO - I think I was try to have a work call at the same time as seeing if the dentist was doing and fillings yet Also seriously lacking in FAF. You're right LetUs - why does our subconscious never pick up on our valid fears about the lack of HBFs in our lives?

Suppose I should sort out breakfast really. More digging on the cards for me today - having made a start yesterday.

Afternoon. Very autumnal here too.

I dreamed I was shopping and hadn't got a mask on as I'd left it in the car. Couldn't find the car and ended up totally lost and trailing round streets I'd never seen before. Woke up exhausted.

Yes Helen, sometimes they do play golf in the rain if it's an arranged competition; they have waterproof suits and umbrellas. None of them were keen yesterday so they only played nine holes.

at tennis.

Re Strike, I'm finding it difficult to follow, they seem to jump to conclusions without much evidence. I've forgotten the book, so maybe they're trying to cram too much into the four episodes. Will watch last night's ep again.

Evening wenches.

I’ve felt cold and tired all day. Poor me.

I think I’m going to go for it with Heroes. Might even ask DH if he wants to try it too .

Hope you got your digging done Helen.

What is it with phone calls and dentists and losing the car and getting lost? WHERE ARE OUR HBFS?!

You need to watch it again Apricot? Because you might have missed something? Mmhmmm

I think I’m a bit tired and hormonal. I’m currently sobbing my eyes out at Say Yes To The Dress.

Hmmm - LetUs what could warm up and energise a wench...

Much digging was done, and the only use I have for HBFs right now are back massages. Well - other uses are possible, as long as I don't have to move too much.

That's really not what you want from a dream Apricot - do you need to be energised too? Glad to hear that Strike Ep3 requires a rewatch

Athos says he’s flexed his fingers and is ready when you are Helen

As for me, I am feeling miraculously energised and ready for anything

We’re watching Two Weeks To Live. New Maisie Williams comedy on Sky. 10 minutes in and it’s excellent.

Morning wenches.

It’s really but I’m feeling energised and exhausted at the same time

Dream involving running around a train station with multiple escalators and staircases, trying to find the platform for Piccadilly having already put my luggage on the train. Villanelle was actually quite helpful and didn’t kill anyone.

Bit dull here but it’s supposed to brighten up later so I’m hoping to do the exercisething after work.

LOL at helpful Villanelle dream, but urgh and running about. Mine was very convoluted and I really can't even begin to describe it. Though at one point I was in a bar about to do a pub quiz and was being chatted up by two old men who took their false teeth out. I mean - WTAF?!

Agreed about Two Weeks to Live - we've started watching that too. The trailers looked very promising.

I went to bed with a headache and woke up with it this morning, despite drugs. FFS Today I plan to do nothing at all.

Evening. Warmer outside the house than inside today. I've washed the summer duvet and it's dried nicely.

I've been to the dentist this afternoon. The mouthwash he told me to get did nothing so I've now got the antibiotics that I phoned up for in March and the receptionist said I couldn't have because basically it wasn't bad enough.

Our dreams are getting worse. Hope the headache has gone Helen.

Evening. Headache is gone now I think, but hanging around most of the day though. Stupid headache. So the only thing I've really done today is stew yet more plums!

In Twitter news, TB has been spotted in Ramsgate with his lockdown hair, filming with actress Ruth Wilson (was in Dark Materials and lots of other stuff) 'Truths about me' for cinema. twitter.com/marmitewithjam/status/1303304627551694848

Evening wenches,

It was like that at work Apricot! Put my coat on to leave at 5, opened the front door of the building and found it was really warm!

Am boggling at quiz and men chatting you up and taking their teeth out Helen. Hope the headache didn’t linger.

🤞🏻that the antibiotics do the trick —which they probably would have done back in March—

I’ve done the exercisething and am now very tired. I am also regretting putting a wash on which will only finish in about an hour.

Washing's done LetUs Well done on the run. I went for a bike ride today for the first time in ages.
Also - one for LetUs / Fancy - news on Rebecca

I do love Ruth Wilson.

Good that the headache eventually went Helen, and well done on the bike ride. Thanks for the washing reminder

I know I keep saying it, but I really am going to have get Netflix.

We’ve got the football on. It’s shite.

I’m having an early night. HBFs are welcome to join me in the hayloft but they’d best be prepared to do all the work.
