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

[WickedWenchOfTheNorth]

LetUs. You need to be wrapped up in cotton wool and taken care of by HBFs. A nice lie-down... That's what you need.

That’s a very very nice lie down. I’m going to lie down a lot. Repeatedly in fact.

And I demand that my subconscious co-operates and produces a full on FAF dream.

It is far too early. Bloody anxiety dreams (can't find car in car park, followed by dawning realisation that I must have left it unlocked and it's been stolen, with my phone and purse inside...) FFS.
Still, at least the chores are done.

Morning wenches.

Helen . Hate that kind of dream

Was going to do exercisething today but will leave it for tomorrow and Friday I think. Going to make a determined effort to get DS2 to come for a walk though.

Must do the ironing.

Hope you feel better soon Letus.

Hate anxiety dreams!

Doing a jigsaw, Fräsan has discovered that if she starts playing with the pieces she will get mommy's attention. Little brat

My foot is hurting, have a little trouble walking, was much worse yesterday. I also still have stomach problems, so I'm a total wreck

Best get back in the bath wicked - the water will support your foot and make sure you don't make it worse.

Our cats just lie on top of jigsaws and look smug.

Morning
Running a bit late today - got to bed a bit late as ScaredyCat seemed to injure her paw last night. Either that or she's limping in sympathy for you ww. Vet appointment booked for later today as I can't see what's causing it and I daren't look too hard or she'll rip me to shreds

Any luck with the dreams letus?

Watched The Social Network last night - double Armie which is always good, even if the characters he played were somewhat

Afternoon wenches.

Feeling much better. DS2 did come for a walk. Think we did about three miles in total but he had his promised ice cream —and so did I—

Oh dear Wicked, that doesn’t sound much fun. You need, as my grandma would have said, putting in a bag and shaking up. Or just stay in the bath with AD (grandma wouldn’t have said that).

Subconscious was spectacularly uncooperative Fancy

Hope ScaredyCat is okay and there’s nothing serious wrong with her paw.

I have ironed whilst watching Glastonbury stuff before it disappears off iPlayer today. Watched The Killers from last year —again—. Totally worth the singed fingers. I’m now watching their set from 2004

I have been shopping. Food. Steam cleaner. Cat-wormer.

Hurrah for FAF on TV though. TB did a thing at which I watched last week.

The lights on stage failed partway through next to last song. They’ve started the final song and he’s asked whether there was a reason why the lights have gone out and then said “you don’t mind it in the dark do you?” Mate. Lights on, lights off, whatever you want

That TB thing is excellent. How many times have you watched it Helen?

Afternoon.

It was a cymbal, not a piano but I did sell a drum a few weeks ago, snare not kettle. I also sold a complete drum kit for him once. I didn't cart it into the shop though, it was collected. I've sold another damned cymbal now. There's no end to it.

TB looks as if he's on the moon in that video. l love his accent, he's very good at them. Is his hair still blond under that beanie?

Oh look, he's kissing your foot better in that gif WW.

Hope ScaredyCat is alright.

[grin} letus
Sounds like my life helen

ww has gone quiet.....is she still in the bathroom?

ScaredyCat has a wounded paw. Cannot be more specific without heavy sedation for her or full body armour for the vet and the vet nurse no-one can get a good enough look. The unco-operative minx has meds & I have a lighter purse. She also we'ed herself in my car poor thing.

I have earned a reward - may watch Pride & Prejudice this evening.

Oh dear - poor FancyCar Warm salt water bath for the injured foot as well? I can just imagine the outraged look on her face

Wicked is busy resting her foot with Kylo

LetUs - I've only watched it once actually I assume that it was filmed on the 'South Coast' when he was in lockdown there. The hair was still blonde when he did the Little Prince thing a couple of weeks ago Apricot.

I need to cook tea...

Oh poor ScaredyCat. Hope she feels better soon and it’s not troubling her much. LetUsCat also used to wee when he was in the car, managing to very carefully aim through the gaps in his carrier. Enjoy Pride and Prejudice. I’ve been watching Emma with Johnny Lee Miller as Mr Knightley. He’s great, but I’m a bit hmmm about the thing as a whole.

Having recently rewatched the first three series of Strike (twice because DH wanted to watch it), I’m really looking forward to Lethal White.

I’ve done some more of my jigsaw which also has cats on it, but only in picture form.

Good point about the salt water bath helen. may see if I can trick her into that. At least the local wildlife will enjoy the reprieve whilst she's stuck indoors.

Vet phoned to say that Inconvenient Cat has an infection so I need to drain my bank account further get him on antibiotics and book a follow-up appointment. Still, at least it's an obvious and treatable issue.

Lethal White is rumoured to be on at the end of next month - TB announced a date with the comment of "I think it's on 29th August, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say that" I'm impressed by your dedication LetUs - multiple rewatches, and he's not even on your list!

Poor TavCats

That’s the Bank Holiday weekend isn’t it? It’s in four parts according to IMDb, and probably according to what people have already said and I’ve forgotten.

It’s my attempt at misdirection Helen to distract DH from my other —obsessions— interests

We’ve watched Prodigal Son on Sky tonight. New programme. Very much enjoyed it.

Hayloft for me.

Morning. Lovely and sunny outside. Chores are taking double the usual time because the cats need to be supervised to make sure that Inconvenient Cat actually eats his medicine without them swapping bowls...

Another joyous day of spreadsheets beckons..... Maybe I should set up a FAF spreadsheet. That would be more fun. It could end up with a 'Top Trumps' style game That sounds like much more fun than working.

Morning wenches.

Also lovely and sunny here.

I am picturing InconvenientCat offering their bowl of food, meowing “no, it’s fine, you have it, I’m not that hungry” and then laughing behind their paw.

FAF spreadsheet and card game sounds a super idea! How about a game of threes and fours? That would work. Or a game of vingt-et-un?

DS2 is astonishingly still asleep. I should be getting ready to do the exercisething this morning and then have a thorough tidy up. Parents are coming for a meal at the weekend. Mother will give things Looks - she can’t help it.

Aw poor InconvenientCat, I hope the meds do the trick.

Sunny here too - gardening and mum cabbing planned. And FancyMan's coming over too.

Afternoon wenches.

Did the exercisething, did some washing, did some tidying. God I hope I’m back at work soon (there’s a sentence I never thought I’d say).

Am watching The Americas with Simon Reeve.

Also, how are ScaredyCat and InconvenientCat feeling today?
