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

[WickedWenchOfTheNorth]

Oooo I like the sound the sound of The Apricot Terrace! I’ll have a table for probably best to let me use the whole terrace.

Bugger about the washing line breaking. As Helen says, HBFs are excellent at getting things up in gardens so you should take advantage of —them— that and vice versa

I have much admiration for InconvenientCat. How is ScaredyCat Fancy? Is her paw better?

Which Emma was it Wicked? I think the latest film version will be on Sky soon. Saw it at the cinema - remember cinemas? - and I’m looking forward to seeing it again. For the costumes and sets and stuff obviously.

I’m a bit tipsy and am watching yet more Simon Reeve programmes. He’s lovely and gives great documentary.

Hurrah for tipsy LetUs

I've finally started Killing Eve 3. Inconvenient Cat has sauntered upstairs and taken up residence... somewhere. Stupid Cat has taken up residence on my lap. And DH and DS are home, so that would be the end of Killing Eve for now...

Oh, he's cute!

It's the latest Emma Letus, with a blond Mr Knightley and also that creepy looking guy from War and Peace.

I enjoyed Johnny Flynn’s Mr Knightley

Oh dear. The door seems to be locked and bolted Helen. I don’t think MrHelen and MiniHelen can get in. You can carry on with Killing Eve. They’ll be fine - it’s warm.

Well, the undressing scene was great, when you didn't see his face

Loved Miranda Hart and Bill Nighy. I don't know, maybe I wasn't in the right mood for Austen.

Hayloft... night all.

Night Helen. Athos will tuck you in

They were both fantastic Wicked.

I think I’ll watch one more episode and then hayloft for me too.

Evening, erm morning?

I saw that Emma just before lockdown. Not a fan of a blond Mr Knightley, although he did better that I expected. Agree Miranda was fab. And creepy guy from W&P ?

@ letus's neighbours

love the sound of that restaurant apricot!

Glad InconvenientCat has been ok helen - it has been far too hot to keep ScaredyCat in. She seems ok though - found a dead baby rat on the lawn earlier, so it would seem she is on form .

Have spent the day doing admin scrubs memory of this morning's smear test from my mind- keeping out of the sun. Spent the evening drinking pink & watching tv with DD - top episode of Lucifer. Topless Lucifer. Black tie Lucifer. Probably not a good idea to dwell on that image in this hear

Morning wenches.

Very cloudy with rain forecast so I need to get out to do the exercisething before the rain arrives, and before it gets much warmer.

Do you have Netflix Fancy, or was that an older episode of Lucifer? I sometimes think about getting Netflix but then decide no. Edge of the seat stuff here.

I think Wicked meant the W&P character was creepy ? Which to be fair he was. He was much lovelier as Theseus Scamander

Pleased ScaredyCat appears to be better.

Suppose I’d better get dressed.

I actually think he looks creepy too, as a rodent or something

I had a huge crush on Jeremy Northam as Mr Knightley although looking back that is some seriously pouffy hair

We're watching on Netflix, so it's an old episode.

He does menacing quite well ww, would be interesting to see him doing an unambiguously nice character for a change!

Have to drive up to DS's to bring him back this weekend. Will be home for about a month.

Morning. Hot and sunny here again. I thought it was meant to be cooler today - maybe later on

LOL at Creepy Guy and outraged Fancy and also at LetUs booking the entire terrace for her list.

Oh FFS - I forgot to hit 'post' again.

Anyway, I have been fixing my bike - was v. proud of myself. Then DH came home from the shops and is fixing it better. I did ask him to look at it, and he is undoubtedly doing a better job that me.

OMG, someone has tweeted that it's four years today that the last TM episode aired

Afternoon. It's been raining on and off all day so I don't really know what the temperature is as I haven't been out.

We're watching Killing Eve, I think we're on ep 5, but won't be watching tonight as DH has football recording.

Glad ScaredyCat seems to be better.

Four years?? Scary. I can't believe it's August already, in spite of all the difficulties the year seems to be whizzing by.

That is some seriously bouffant hair he’s got there Wicked

Hope you have a lovely time having FancyDS at home.

at MrHelen fixing your already fixed bike. Can’t believe it’s four years since TM finished!

I’ve finally finished my latest jigsaw. Most challenging one I’ve done for a while and it was the cheapest as it was a charity shop find.

We know each other for six years! Do you remember that one that spread rumors about TB and Tuppence and that she was pregnant? And the mayhem on Twitter after JP posted the pic of our set tour?

Have arrived at my hotel - air con is so cold I'm having a bath rather than a shower utter bliss - warm bath and a

Enjoy your bath and Fancy. I'm envious, I want to stay at a hotel as well

Just realised that in 11 months I will turn 50

Six years has gone by in the blink of an eye!

Oooo a lovely relaxing bath in peaceful surroundings. Hope it was as fab as it sounds Fancy.

I’ll be able to let you know what that’s like Wicked quite soon

Surely you mean 40 Letus?

Well obviously Wicked

I was looking through family photos on my iPad this evening. I didn’t think my hair had changed colour significantly over the last few years. Oh how wrong I was

Anyway it’s hayloft time for me

Evening. Have been over to friends for a BBQ. Was very nice and chilled and fun. Now I'm knackered and need to head to the hayloft.

Oh FFS, typed message and lost it.

It's lovely and sunny. DS is being a PITA. So sod it - I'm off to a haymeadow with Athos to do some re-enactments...

Morning wenches.

Crikey Helen, if that’s what was on your mind when you were typing, I’m not surprised you don’t know what happened to your message

DH is taking DS2 swimming and then to sportingactivity, so I plan on having a bath, doing some washing (not in the bath), tidying up in the kitchen, and working out how much paint I need. Orrrrrrr I might do the bath and washing, and then sit and watch more Simon Reeve programmes.

Might drive up to mother’s and stand on the driveway whilst they stay in the house so we can have a chat.

I don't think our swimming pools are open yet That would be a nice thing to do today.

Oh - thins morning's livestock adventures... Inconvenient Cat decided that if Houdini gets to come into 'his' house, then he can go in theirs - he hopped up into the chicken house while I was cleaning it out this morning, investigated the new house, and then strolled out of the hatch and down their ramp into the run (which freaked them out slightly). He then mooched around and yowled at me until I went round and opened the door to the run for him to get out, because heaven forbid he should walk back up the ramp and out of the door that I had open.
