Morning wenches.

Gaviscon was much appreciated Helen.

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

FancyFancy · 06/09/2020 12:33

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.

LetUsPrey · 06/09/2020 12:55

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.. Grin

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

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 06/09/2020 13:40

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. Confused

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

Glad you had a lovely evening LetUs.

Strike tonight. Smile

LetUsPrey · 06/09/2020 19:28

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.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 06/09/2020 21:30

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. Hmm Though peace and quiet while MrA is out, so there's that. Sounds like a frustrating day though. Sad

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' Grin TV tropes a go-go...

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 06/09/2020 22:02

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

FancyFancy · 06/09/2020 22:07

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 Grin

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 06/09/2020 22:19

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

Hayloft is calling.

LetUsPrey · 06/09/2020 22:22

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

Star 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

FancyFancy · 06/09/2020 23:36

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

LetUsPrey · 07/09/2020 07:48

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 Grin

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.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 07/09/2020 08:00

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 Grin (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 Hmm 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.

ApricotCrush · 07/09/2020 17:11

Afternoon. Very autumnal here too. Sad

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. Confused

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. Hmm

Shock 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. Grin

LetUsPrey · 07/09/2020 18:55

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 Grin

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

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 07/09/2020 21:17

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 Wink Grin

LetUsPrey · 07/09/2020 22:01

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.

LetUsPrey · 08/09/2020 07:43

Morning wenches.

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

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.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/09/2020 12:34

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 Sad Today I plan to do nothing at all.

ApricotCrush · 08/09/2020 18:09

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. Confused

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

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/09/2020 19:56

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

LetUsPrey · 08/09/2020 19:58

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.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/09/2020 21:23

Washing's done LetUs Grin 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
twitter.com/NetflixFilm/status/1303322738845577216

LetUsPrey · 08/09/2020 21:31

I do love Ruth Wilson.

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

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.
