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

[WickedWenchOfTheNorth]

I agree with WW that you should start with The Musketeers MrsG. All 30 episodes are currently available on BBC iPlayer. That's how we all got together in the first place. It's been six years of mayhem enjoyable appreciation of the HBFs. There's another one for you to fathom out.

We have geese. They fly over noisily twice daily in formation. They go out for the day and then go home at night. No idea where they go although I think they live by the lake in the village up the road.

Agreed Helen about Lethal White. Very rushed at the end. Also, Robin's phone was dropped overboard, but in the last scene she's taking a call on it.

I've ordered Troubled Blood on DH's Prime account as I keep seeing spoilers all over the place. It should arrive tomorrow.

Awwwwwwwww at the rare muddy White River Fox Cute pup

I would totally start with the Musketeers (and finish with them and have them at every point inbetween). Merlin is complete fluff and even sillier, but the FAF is not so FAF. I dipped in and out of the episodes while DS was watching it.

Wicked - without you there would be no snirf, or fika, and much less house porn

Apricot - I assumed that the final phone scene set some time later? Or why would Strike be heading off to see about a new case directly from the houseboat.

I have a meeting - laters.

Back out at the client, so no pics
Yes, do start with Musketeers - so much hotness!

MrsG That is one cute 'fox' I'm with you, prefer geese in the air & away from me. I am wary of geese, knew some 'guard geese' when I was growing up.....

helen I can't take the credit for autocucumber. Although my erm, autocucumber does recognise the word now. But not DS's name. FFAS phone

Ah, okay Helen, I clearly need a rewatch to sort out the timescale.

Are you people discussing the plot?

All I remember is Strike being all burly and manly and saying fuck

Sorry to report that my meeting did not include HBFs. FML. It involved lots of spreadsheet and my poor bemused colleague listening to my stream of consciousness as I tried to work out reassigning multiple finding streams across different project strands. Exciting stuff eh?!

Oh no Apricot - you'll have to watch again? The hardship .
Yes Wicked plot I've torn up the rulebook and I'm talking plot. When did he say "Fuck"? (I also need a rewatch.)

Wonder where autocucumber came from. Is it a general MN thing? Oh well - I'm off out to trash my knees for a bike ride in the murky gloom outside. Or I will be if DH every pulls his finger out and is ready to leave.

He said it like three times Helen, at least that's how many times I had to change my knickers

Evening wenches.

at the white river fox

Thank you for the geese information. I’m always keen to learn. This applies to many areas.

Definitely start with The Musketeers.

I can’t really recall much else. My brain is trashed after work and I now have to help DS2 with his French which will not stick in his head. I’ve even tried saying the French words he needs to remember are footballers’ names because he has no issue remembering football info and stats. Nope.

LetUs

for Letus

And

Oh wenches - thank you. And [HBFs] for you too.

Some jigsawing has also helped. Obviously HBFs also help so I’ll just admire the pics already posted

Hayloft for me.

Would you like a military escort?

First and third thanks Fancy (not easy to say out loud)

Now really, hayloft where some military precision will take place.

Don't worry about two - I'll take care of him

Morning wenches.

Jolly decent of you Fancy.

How are you getting on with The Musketeers watching MrsG? Or are you saving them for the weekend?

Exercisething after work tonight. The exercisething is preferable.

Morning all. It is sunny and cloudy this morning, and I think I have a had of fruit processing ahead of me.
Alas, poor geese. The shotgun brigade have been out in the field all morning...

for the geese
I am in a room with no windows again, so no weather update.

DS is supposed to be coming home for the weekend, so must remember to make up a bed tonight.

Afternoon. Bit cooler here, but sunny.

I've just been for a drive-through flu jab in the GP's car park. Brilliant, no waiting around. The nurse said she's done 160 today.

Oh, poor geese. There's always a lot of shooting in the fields round here, and I assume it's pigeons or rabbits which is bad enough, but geese!

Hope you've had a better day today LetUs.

Oh, my Troubled Blood has arrived. It's like a brick.

Evening wenches.

Better day at work on the whole. And now I’m off until Tuesday. Woohooo!

Poor geese . How did you get on with the fruit Helen?

Room with no window makes it sound like you’ve been taken prisoner Fancy! —although thinking about it we have a few rooms like that too—

Drive through flu jab is a good idea. And yes, don’t drop Troubled Blood on your foot Apricot!

Exercisething was feeble but I’ve added to my distance tally for this month so that’s all I’m after at the moment.

I think I could do with an early night sadly lacking in real life so a book it is.

It's been lovely here today - sunny with a breeze. Laundry ahoy! Also fruit stewing ad nauseum. And some nettles pulled up, which fought back, and my arms are a bit tingly. There are also still hundreds of geese about - suspect the shotguns will be back tomorrow. Wonder if I can put an order in with them.

Good news re. the Flu jab Apricot, though I am imagining a random person in the car park getting an unexpected jab because they just happened to be there and the nurse was on a roll.

Fancy - get DS' bed made!

LetUs - How was your day? The HBFs are on standby with [massages] [hot bath] and themselves. (I imagine they'll keep Fancy entertained until you're ready for them.)

How was your day Wicked?

I mean I say the day was better , but obviously I still need to feel better so they can stay.

I’m watching Death in Paradise and dreaming of relaxing in that beach shack. Lovely Simon is good with tropical locations so he can relax with me.

Just a usual meh day Helen, thank you for asking.

Hope MrsG is alright, maybe she fainted from too much FAF?
