Swagger Inn 170. Autumn is here with a vengeance. I think we'll just hide under the duvet --with HBFs-- until Spring.

Afternoon although it looks like evening out there. Nice sunny day, but very cold. We also had a ground frost overnight.

My GP surgery forgot about me for the flu jab. Sad DH had his about three weeks ago and I had to phone them up about mine. It's scheduled for next Monday. I always get a painful arm from jabs.

Hope you had a better day today WW although the fika with neighbours sounds nice.

Evening wenches.

Cold, rain, sun, rain.

I’m sure there’s an HBF to kiss the jab site better Fancy. Better get one lined up for Apricot too. And how on earth could they forget about you Apricot?

Got talking to NiceColleague about knitting today. Going to give her a brief knitting lesson tomorrow lunchtime.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 02/11/2021 20:50

Evening all. Bit of a chilly day, but the washing mostly dried on the line. Tried to go out for a lunchtime bike ride with DH but his bike had a puncture, so we had a lunchtime walk instead.

I got a text to book in for a flu jab as well. HBFs will have to do lots of kissing better Grin

I'm thinking about a hot bath and early night... DH has just put BakeOff on. Choux nuts are a thing, apparently.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 03/11/2021 07:34

Morning. Proper frosty out there today. Frost rimed leaves on the ground, etc. Clear blue sky as well. The washing is probably a bit solid on the line, but it will thaw/dry Grin

Hope everyone has a good day - have you still got the roadworks LetUs? I must phone up about my flu jab today...

LetUsPrey · 03/11/2021 07:51

Morning wenches.

No frost that I can see but it all just looks cold and damp. Roadworks have gone thankfully.

NiceColleague was telling me about the choux nuts.

Struggling to find any get up and go. Just meh.

Have excellent days wenches AND BOOK YOUR FLU JAB HELEN.

ApricotCrush · 03/11/2021 16:50

Afternoon. Nice day, but still cold.

Hope the knitting lesson went well LetUs. My aunt taught me when I was 8 and I've loved it ever since. I find it very relaxing.

Our roadworks are still going on, so it was a bumpy ride home from Lidl this morning.

Shetland tonight. Smile

Evening wenches.

Not a fun day at work but when is it ever. Was only brightened by having a knitting chat and lesson with NiceColleague.

I’m carrying on with something I started ages ago but I’m going out one evening next week and want to wear it.

Urgh at still ongoing roadworks Apricot.

Might try and have a bath before Shetland.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 03/11/2021 21:00

Evening all.

at apricot's ongoing roadworks.

It's doing the rainy/windy thing here and HyperactiveKitten doesn't know what to do with himself. He's got too much energy and keeps racing outside, then barrelling back in because the weather's not nice.

Work was work-ish. Proofreading a report and spreadsheeting. I like the idea of work knitting lessons. I have to do some sort of course about fraud and finance, or something. Not quite as enticing. I also forgot to contact the GP about my flu jab. Ho hum.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 04/11/2021 07:43

Morning all. It's wet. There was a short downpour while I was out doing the chickens. My glasses had to be dried off, but on the plus side, Houdini left the compost heap and ran for the coop without me having to fetch her in. AttackKitten also sprinted for the house (and is now curled up, purring in my dressing gown.

There were Northern Lights last night, but not here, obvs. #AuroraEnvy

LetUsPrey · 04/11/2021 07:44

Morning wenches.

There’s some sunshine trying to break through.

Hmm combine fraud and finance with knitting - knit some money?

Not feeling today. NiceColleague’s on leave so just little ol’ me.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 04/11/2021 08:04

Little ol' you and some HBFs to keep you company LetUs - try to look at it that way?

FancyFancy · 04/11/2021 14:08

We have some sun! Probably not for long...

Finally managed a remote watch-along of Lucifer with DD last night - it quite reminded me of early Tav days. Although not nearly as filthy or chaotic Grin

ApricotCrush · 04/11/2021 17:10

Afternoon. Lovely day here. I had the window open in DD's old bedroom where I sit to knit, read etc. and it was really hot on my face although it was only 8 degrees outside.

I didn't know about the Aurora so didn't look outside although no-one's reported seeing them round here. I've never seen them. Sad

I could never keep up with the remote TM watches. I don't know how everyone watched and commented at the same time. Grin

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 04/11/2021 18:07

Evening. It's been miserable here - rain and rain and rain. Glad that some people have seen the sun today though.

Hurrah for watch-along with DD Fancy

Today has mostly been an admin and filing day.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 04/11/2021 21:13

Hope that LetUs had a better day today...

LetUsPrey · 04/11/2021 21:15

Evening wenches.

No signs of the HBFs at work Helen. Selfish really.

Hurrah for remote watch along of Lucifer!

That sounds rather lovely Apricot. I did some more knitting tonight. Need to watch a YouTube video to see how to change colour yarn for a few rows. I’ve done it before but it was guesswork and I’m sure there’s a better way of doing it.

LetUsPrey · 05/11/2021 07:39

Morning wenches.

Friiiidaayyyyyy! Looks very damp out there and not very pleasant.

No matter as am out tonight to NearbyBigCity, seeing David Suchet at the theatre.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 05/11/2021 07:44

Morning all. Quite nice outside just now - a few clouds, but lots of blue sky too. No frost.

So far this morning I have fed chickens/cats/birds/child/myself and herded a mouse out from under the piano and into a box. It's gone back outside. AttackKitten is most unimpressed, but not so much that he isn't snuggled into my armpit Hmm Wierdo Grin

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 05/11/2021 17:05

It's daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark Sad

Hope that LetUs has a fabulous theatre trip and that everyone else has had a good day.

I popped out for some shopping, which was pointless because what I wanted wasn't in stock. That was the highlight of my day. Hmm

ApricotCrush · 05/11/2021 17:28

Afternoon. Nice day but I failed to do any washing. Hmm

Nothing of any interest going on here.

Have a lovely evening LetUs.

Met up with the landlord at the cottage, he had a change of plans, instead of just doing an extension for the bathroom he’s doing a bigger one so I also get a small bedroom, which is great! I just hope it’s not just talk and something actually happens. If nothing has happened until spring I’m going to look for something else.

FancyFancy · 05/11/2021 21:51

Evening, Worky McWork that's it really!

So far this evening I have mostly been a cat bed for FancyCat who is unimpressed with the fireworks. ScaredyCat is nowhere to be seen, probably under a bed. Being a cat bed was a good excuse to sit around and watch a programme on Simon and Garfunkel Smile

LetUsPrey · 05/11/2021 23:24

Evening wenches.

Had a very rubbish day at work followed by a very very wonderful evening at the theatre.

Fingers crossed that the cottage is sorted on time Wicked. Sounds like it’s going to be wonderful.

LetUsPrey · 06/11/2021 08:33

Morning wenches.

There are some bits of blue in the sky. What’s the expression? Just enough blue to make a pair of sailor’s trousers.

Today will be washing and homework wrangling. Will try to do some baking but I must crack on with my knitting.
