Swagger Inn 167 - Autumn is here, the days are getting shorter and colder...

[ApricotCrush]

...so the wenches will snuggle down in the Tav with the HBFs maybe.

With that technique it's a good job I have a mower for the lawn and that the weeds are not that high. I do have some shrubs that I want dug up - that'll build up a sweat so there'll be no need for shirts.....

Afternoon. Miserable weather here, and it's getting dark already.

I've done sod all today, but it is Sunday.

Hope the headache has kept away Helen and homework is going well for those who have it. It's unrelenting, isn't it?

It’s so important to get one’s technique right, particularly when handling tools in the garden

I’ve been similarly active Apricot.

One set of homework went okay, the next one didn’t and it all went south from there. I am therefore on the Pimms whilst watching Midsomer Murders.

Evening. Other than the shops, I have been sewing and listening to a David Tennant Podcast. And a bit of cooking. I did manage to get joggers for DS though, so that was good.

And now I'm being a cat bed, yet again.

Hope that Fancy is relaxing after the gardening and the heachache has gone, and that miniLetUs hasn't imploded

You do have some good plans Helen.

Heading to the hayloft. Doing a favour for a relative tomorrow which means leaving quite early and DS2 having to lock up by himself for school. Just hope he doesn’t get too engrossed in the tv....

Night wenches, sweet HBF filled dreams.

Morning all. I'm full of great ideas LetUs

Also, if you could give us instructions for dreams more often, that would be handy, since I did have a HBF dream. Abd there were 'no clothes involved' Sadly, it was about some online clips for the Alan Moore project, and said clips were a cross between an impressionistic painting, as done by whoever did the A-ha 'Take on Me' video, so... a bit pointless really. I did email the clips to Elk in my dreams though (#ConsiderateWench), or it might have been to BestFriend, because - dreams and that thing where people just substitute for each other in a random way. Who knows. I also had to move a duvet between two connecting bedrooms, but the doorway was too narrow, so I had to take it downstairs, outside and back in another door .

Weather - dry and high cloud; Wildlife - geese coming into land, which always makes be laugh because there's very little grace or elegance involved there.

Morning wenches. You’ve got to love a bonkers wench dream, especially with so much detail

Also at geese landing.

Have safely deposited relative at appointment. No panic phone calls from DS2 so I assume he’s safely away to school. Or he’s forgotten the time and is still at home, watching highlights of the weekend’s football.

Back home, washing done, dishes done.

I’ve asked Alexa for disco music whilst I’m in the kitchen. Wenches are welcome to join - get your disco dresses on, your platforms, big hair, blue shiny eyeshadow, and a bucket of lipgloss on . Although when the Bee Gees were on I couldn’t help think of Kenny Everett

just as well I’ve got physio this afternoon.

Oh...

Afternoon.

I enjoyed your shimmying whilst it lasted Helen. Give us a little wiggle Apricot - that’ll be perfect

I am really enjoying these Mondays off but fucksake I can’t stop eating.

Disco music is the best for cooking too

Alan Moore project helen? As in ....
'Alan Moore knows the score'
da da der, da da der, da da der, da da der
'Riffs, yeah! Can u dig it?'

If the Alan Moore in the lyrics is Alan Moore the author, then yes. But I don't know the song or band and now I have to go and wash up a pan and make pancakes, so that investigation will have to be parked for now.

I am not familiar with that Fancy. I shall investigate further later. Disco is also good for washing up, although I may have overworked the hips a bit. Unless HBFs are reading in which case my hips are fine.

Pancakes Helen? Mmmmm. Wiggles and shimmies? Oooooo.

I’m a bit achey after physio so I’ve had a bath and shall have an early night. Finished The Thursday Murder Club which was excellent and which I very highly recommend - again . Stephen Fry’s new one - Troy - is out soon.

Dig in

I'm never bloody selling stuff on ebay again, it's just all hassle. FFS.

It is the same Alan Moore I think.

Not aware of Pop Will Eat Itself?

Oh! Pop Will Eat Itself - yes. (But not 'the Poppies') Am aware, but not familiar with, iyswim?

It is raining, which means I have cocked up, because yesterday was dry and I did not do gardening. So today may well be gardening in the rain, When I'm not busy being a cat bed.

Watched Ghosts last night

Morning. Now the weather is colder ScaredyCat is demanding morning cuddles. I ought to get moving really.............

Morning wenches.

Bit warmer here which was a pleasant surprise when I left the house this morning. Have also heard of Pop Will Eat Itself but suspect I was not trendy enough at the time

Hope you don’t get too soggy with the gardening Helen.

Suppose I’d better do some work. first though.

The rain stopped - gardening was done in the dry - hurrah! (I'm still a cat bed though)

I was not trendy enough at the time - I've never been trendy - at the time or otherwise .

Afternoon. Bit warmer here too, I went out to post a card and was pleasantly surprised.

I remember Pop Will Eat Itself, I think they were from somewhere around here. Not my kind of stuff though I'm a rock chick.

Trouble with eBay Helen? It is a bit of a faff, but I love the feeling when something sells. Unfortunately I sell more for DS than for me.

We've been watching The Singapore Grip. It had a bit of a cliff-hanger ending as they usually do so I hope there's another series.

DH has been making soup again.

Evening wenches.

Hurrah for not rainy gardening!

Funny old day at work. Feel like I was busy all day but there doesn’t seem much to show for it.

I can just picture you as a rock chick Apricot, bit of leather. Nice . I’m sure the soup will be tasty so I suppose that’s an upside.

I have a dress in my wardrobe that is now accidentally on trend - there’s loads like it in the shops. I’ve had mine for ages —and it has an elasticated waist so it still fits—

Apricot likes a nice bit of leather Plus whatever's wrapped in it

And hurrah for soup - I must make some more too...

We're watching Buffy, then I'm having a bath. Oh - ebay - you know, when you sell something as 'used' and then the buyer gets all shitty because it's not pristine? FFS.

That’s a lot of leather. Lovely.

That sounds rather infuriating Helen.

DH is flicking between the football and Million Pound Cube. I’m not really interested in either. Might head to the hayloft.
