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

[WickedWenchOfTheNorth]

Oh - has that image worked for anyone? I'll try a different one...

It’s okay Helen, I used my imagination That’s not to say the next post wasn’t welcome and I can confirm it is very much working for me

Athos says he can help with packing. You just tell him what you want and where you want him to put it and he’ll make sure it’s in.

Afternoon.

at horney weirdos. I do remember you redecorating the Tav yellow and blue which didn't go down too well WW.

Yay for windscreen Fancy. I'm not very good with cars. I asked DH to have a look at one of my tyres today because it looked a bit low. Turns out it was 11 and should be 30. Oops.

That's a shame about Rebecca being on Netflix. I love that story.

That sounds a stressful dream LetUs.

Happy packing Helen.

LOL at the blue and yellow Tav - yes, I remember the outrage that. I think we added a sauna as a concession to stereotypical Swedishness

I had that with a tyre once apricot - it was a rear tyre in a very light car so it had no weight on it. I thought it looked a bit squishy, and it was, to all intents and purposes, flat. I'm not sure it even registered on my pressure gauge.

Athos has been very helpful and followed all directions, with some added improvisation. No packing has been done, but who cares.

about your dream Letus

Ah yes, the blue and yellow yav, I tried to be wenchy there I think I read later in the FB group that I was an odd one or something

about your tyre Apes

Have also done that with a tyre, but again I’ve always had small cars so wasn’t noticeable when driving. I did spot —eventually— that it looked a bit flat.

Improvised packing? I’m not sure I want to know

I think we’re all a bit odd with our wenchy ways

We have football on

I have been watching a documentary about the Go-Gos - while I mended a tshirt and some socks. Rock'n'Roll But the documentary was good. Now I shall retire to the hayloft and await my reward...
#Hopeful #Deluded #A bit tired actually.

And there's nothing wrong with 'a bit odd'

That sounds interesting Helen. I’ve downloaded it.

You can have what reward you want, whether it’s an HBF or a good night’s sleep. I’m not entirely sure which is most likely.

I am loving these SR programmes for more than the obvious reasons . I’m genuinely learning loads.

Morning wenches.

Cloudy. Rain. Such fun.

DS1 has gone with DH again so it’ll be a quiet —afternoon— day.

When do you go Helen?

Should be gone, but work calls overran this morning. Am flailing... trying to eat and do last minute pack and MN and set 'out of office' simultaneously!

Hope you get —Athos— everything done Helen. Safe and happy travels.

Stopped raining. No rain forecast until much later today. Put the washing out and it started chucking it down whilst I was doing it. I thought sod it and left it out.

Afternoon. Another miserable day here, but I did some gardening as it's bin day, and it's not cold.

Have a lovely time Helen.

Not been great has it? Went for a walk with DS2 when we discovered it was much warmer than expected. Got back and thought may as well bring the washing in whilst my tea’s brewing. Started raining again as I was doing that. Five minutes later the heavens opened.

As you say though Apricot, not cold.

Trying to arrange a meal out with BestFriend so obviously needs to be somewhere with outside space and hope the weather forecast is accurate!

Kind of a crappy week. Meh.

Was lovely weather at home. Raining here, but the company is fab

Outdoor space and emergency umbrellas - that's the way to go. You'll be needing the HBFs to hold the umbrellas for you while you eat.

The first week back after time off is always crap Wicked

Morning wenches.

Have a super time Helen.

I will insert the obligatory HBF as instructed.

Remember a couple of weeks ago or so when period unexpectedly showed up just in time for a family day out? Guess what’s back? FFS.

Exercisething this morning and then have some errands to run.

Morning
Working at home today as have aerial engineers out. DD is somewhat put out as she wanted to have some friends round but DS & I are both working at home & the engineers are due to arrive, so not conducive to entertaining.

Aren't we all a bit odd here ww?

I don't mind throwing the stuff in the washing machine helen, as long as in return he does some cooking which I generally find tedious. Have also delegated some of the shopping trips.

Morning. Ah - well that's ok then Fancy - as long as he's not being a useless manshape.

Weather is still miserable here. We are reconsidering the plans for a picnic lunch I think that spending the day asleep under the duvet is a viable option.

Perhaps FancyDS could have a word with DS1 because nothing I say seems to have much of an impact.

He’s not quite under the duvet Helen, but Athos is up for your plan

I have done the exercisething. I ran for 30 minutes today (except for the small moss-covered steps I have to walk down and up, and the sort of stile thing I have to walk through but that’s not much) so yeah me! Not quite at 5K but for someone who’s generally not very fit, I’m doing okay.

Washing done, kitchen tidy, another SR programme watched, looking for birthday ideas.

Evening.

Nice day here, not sunny but pleasnt. We went with DD and DGS round a new dinosaur mini golf course up the road this afternoon. Brilliant. The dinosaurs roar and move around when you walk past them, DGS loved it. It was great to get out of the house and actually do something.

Hope the weather picks up for you soon Helen.

Also hope WW has had a better day today and Fancy's aerial engineers have finished their job.

Well done to LetUs for the exercise thing.

I wouldn't mind someone cooking for me
That mini golf course sounds really fun Apes
Had a better day at work today, not as stressful. My stomach is better but instead I got a rash on several places on my body, I mean WTF

Well done on exercising Letus

The dinosaur mini golf sounds brilliant! I want to have a go at that.

Hmm Wicked - are you otherwise feeling okay? I think I remember one health issue a few years ago that cleared up and was then rapidly followed by a mysterious rash in various areas. Had to take steroid tablets but it cleared up and I felt fine.

Evening. It cleared over here in the end and we went out for a walk and picnic. Once we had the picnic (being pestered by midges), we carried on walking... and found a much nicer spot typical. DS also slipped into the stream we were next to and soaked his trainers (inevitable). He doesn't have any other shoes with us, so I've done the best I could with no newspaper for stuffing them, and we'll just hope they dry out enough to be wearable tomorrow.

Well done on the exercise LetUs [HBFs] I'm well impressed.

The dinosaur mini golf sounds excellent - I think we know what our next meet-up will involve (as well as HBFs, of course)
