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

Morning all.

Todays tasks are furniture shuffling and fruit processing.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 06/11/2021 17:06

Evening. Busy day, drove 1,5 hour to my mom, I love driving my car so that’s no problem. Helped her with some stuff since she’s moving soon. Then food shopping. On the couch now watching trashy telly while drinking wine and eating cheese doodles.
Cheers everyone Wine

Afternoon. No blue sky here, just various shades of cloud.

Today I have been mostly knitting. Did you sort out your colour change LetUs? If it's a motif or a small amount of pattern I do Swiss darning afterwards. I find it easier than dragging the yarn across the back of the work which I always pull too tight.

Hope you get your extension WW. Sounds lovely.

Also hope the TavCats and chickens are alright.

Gosh WW that's a long way, but nice to see your mom.

Evening - that sounds like a good day Wicked. Is your mum planning to move far?

We've had more fireworks, but the cats are indoors with TV noise, so don't care.

I move furniture today, and stewed up apples, as planned. Nothing exciting. No knitting either.

LetUsPrey · 06/11/2021 20:50

Evening wenches.

More bastard rain. Not stopped the huge amount of fireworks round here.

That’s an excellent way to spend the day Wicked.

It was just straightforward colour changing in stripes Apricot. Swapping back and forth between two different colours but I wanted it to be neat. I’ve finished it now.

FancyFancy · 06/11/2021 21:05

Evening
Been doing chores and some more work, so a dull day.
Currently have ScaredyCat on my lap. Just about. She really isn't very bright and I swear she's going to slide off before long

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 06/11/2021 21:05

Oh - crumble... yes, I cam do that tomorrow. Bath and early night tonight.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 06/11/2021 21:25

Helen she’s sold her house on the countryside and bought an apartment in the nearest town, not far at all.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 07/11/2021 09:12

Morning all. Blue skies and sunshine today, which is just as well since I'm at SportingActivityCompetition all day Confused I have been given things to do though, so at least I'm not going to be standing round like a lemon all day.

Hopefully the cats won't argue too much while we're out.

LetUsPrey · 07/11/2021 10:16

Morning wenches.

Blue skies here too but seems rather breezy.

Here’s hoping for a smooth move for your mum Wicked.

Just imagining ScaredyCat sliding off your lap Fancy Grin

You’d have been a very wenchy lemon though Helen.

Lots of ironing, yet more homework, parent visiting, might try to fit in some baking. So a good first step would be having a shower and getting dressed.

FancyFancy · 07/11/2021 15:29

Did someone say crumble.....?

Blue skies and rather breezy here too - perfect laundry day Grin

Having your mum nearer will be nice ww

Had that shower yet letus? Need an incentive?

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 07/11/2021 17:27

She’s moving to the town nearest to her so she’s still about 1,5 hour away from me. One of her grandsons live in the same apartmentbuilding so that’s good.
I visited a friend who recently bought a house, very nice. She also have two adorable cats 😍
We went out for amazing thai food and then coffee at her place Smile

ApricotCrush · 07/11/2021 18:09

Evening. Nice day here, but I didn't do any washing again.

Well done for finishing the knitting LetUs. I've finished mine too, but now I have to sew it together, which I hate.

Grin at ScaredyCat

Hope Helen had a good time being helpful.

Sounds like a lovely day out WW.

Evening wenches.

Well obviously one can never have enough showers Fancy so there’s no harm in heading off for another Grin

You do sound like you’ve had such a lovely weekend Wicked.

The knitting was only a hat Apricot so barely any sewing together —and it still looks a bit poop—

I’ve baked some biscuits, done the ironing (which I’ve just realised I haven’t taken upstairs), homework wrangled and parent visited. Started that new series of Dalgliesh. Excellent.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 07/11/2021 21:42

Evening all. I have been out and been useful and now I'm home.

Not quite sure where the weekend's gone though. I mean I am, and I've got stuff done, but it doesn't feel like I've had two days of weekend. meh.

Glad to hear that knitting and laundry etc have all been done. Since we've all been so domesticated/productive this weekend, we're due a reward from the relevant HBFs... That's a nice thought to go to bed with Grin

FancyFancy · 07/11/2021 21:53

Might have a shower before bed helen Grin

Morning all.

Clear skies today, pink clouds and golden skies, and a light ground frost.

Had a random dream about trying to catch the school bus last night. Hmm

I know I have working various emails waiting for me, but I'm feeling very unmotivated to do anything other than slouch on the sofa or bed and snooze. Adulting is very tedious most of the time.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 08/11/2021 08:10

We have snow, great Hmm

Evening. Just come back from having the flu jab. Not only did they miss me off from the texts to book an appointment, but they didn't mark me as having arrived at the surgery and I had to wait 40 minutes while others were coming in, having their jab and leaving. Got there in the end though. Don't know what's happening to GPs lately. Angry

I'm sure your hat looks lovely LetUs.

Shock at snow WW.

Evening wenches.

Work was crackers today. Absolutely knackered.

Oh FGS Apricot. Glad you got sorted at last. And you’re right, my hat does look lovely Smile

Snow Wicked?! Nope. No thank you.

But slouching and snoozing is adulting Helen because it’s a very grown up thing to know when you need to rest. Honest.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/11/2021 21:12

Evening all. I've had a lovely evening out with friends.

That sounds like a complete pain Apticot - I got a text about my flu jab last week - being spiked on Wednesday. Hope it goes smoother than yours Sad

Wine for LetUs; [slouching and snoozing] for everyone

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 09/11/2021 07:39

Morning all. Mostly blue skies this morning.

DS is grumpy with potential tonsillitis, but refuses to do any of the potential treatments FFS etc.
