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

[ApricotCrush]

Aaaand, here we go again...

Washing, wildlife, work, with the occasional HBF thrown in yes please and thank you.

Morning wenches.

My recovery may take some time.

How are you Helen and the other illing residents at ChezHelen?

It’s dark and that’s about as much as I can tell you about what’s going on outside. Work shit today and the shopping at NearbyBigShoppingCentre tonight.

Morning all.

I think we managed a decent amount of sleep last night, which is a bonus. I am mostly coughing and feeling a bit sick. Joy. DH is still asleep but will hopefully be much improved due to getting some sleep. DS seems fine still. IdiotKitten is an idiot.

Hope all wenches have a good day.

Morning. How are all the Tav sick bay residents this morning?

It is grey and wet here, trying to summon the enthusiasm to leave for work - it has been a frustrating week with stuff not working as the information we have been given has not been high quality. And I have a call with a different client this afternoon at which I suspect an additional load of work will be dumped on us - this for a job that could have been completed months ago

Afternoon (feels like evening). Today, apart from chores, I have mostly been asleep in bed with a snoring cat. I woke up at 2pm feeling much better, so I got up and put a load of washing on. That has wiped me out. I don't think I'm getting better yet. Unless being able to sleep though more of it counts?

Covid can FTFO. As can Fancy's disorganised clients and LetUs's ungrateful employers. And anyone else who annoys us.

Afternoon. Bit of a miserable day here.

Did a Sainsbury shop this morning and that's it really.

Hope not too much work was dumped on Fancy, the shopping goes well for LetUs and Helen gets plenty of rest to aid her recovery.

all round.

TFIF

is a very good idea.
NO CHORES. Get back to bed and dream of faf. I am the Queen and this is my decision

Fancy

Hope that LetUs got on well with the shopping.

Evening wenches.

Rest properly Helen. I am also being stern about this.

Hmm working without full information and being generally frustrated by others. That sounds awfully familiar Fancy

Thanks for the Apricot.

Shopping went quite well. Was nice to chat with LittleSis.

Morning all. DS now has a high temperature, and my stomach is being a washing machine (churning away and being very burpy). FML Hopefully DH is on the mend now, but too early to say for sure.

Am a bit wabbit because DS arrived in bed with us at 4:30 which meant I was in his bed by 5:30 and didn't get much more sleep. Am trying to eat something before I crawl back to bed again.

Morning wenches.

Oh Helen that sounds so horrid for you all. Hope you can get some rest.

DS2 has been awake on and off all night snotty and coughing and very upset at one point because he couldn’t sleep (it gets him that way sometimes). Negative test though which is a relief. Thankfully all his homework seems relatively straightforward so if he feels a bit better this afternoon, he’ll be able to do some.

I was supposed to be going into town. It appears to be raining sideways so I’m not so sure.

Morning
That does sound crap Helen, more rest is clearly needed, hope you're feeling better soon.

Today will be a day of catching up on work and some chores - the thrillz. Hoping that DD will be back for the night tomorrow so we can binge watch the last 5 episodes of Money Heist, so until then I will need to avoid spoilers.

Afternoon wenches. It's so daaaarrrkk. I hate it but it's less than a fortnight until the afternoons start to get lighter. Not the mornings though.

That sounds awful Helen, hope you all start to get better soon.

Hope everyone else has had a good day.

Hurrah for DS' negative test LetUs - hope it stays that way for everyone. School have finally started to set work for DS here - just as he starts to feel grim and FFS.

Is DD home for Xmas soon Fancy?

The nights drawing in is soooo depressing. (We did at least get a little bit of sunshine this afternoon) I recommend fairly lights and drawing the curtains. And watching films in the afternoon (I pinched the TV and watched Sliding Doors this afternoon, which was fun.) I think a hot chocolate might help too, but equally the thought of a hot chocolate makes me feel slightly sick My digestive system is well and truly covided.

Hope you all feel better soon Helen.

Met up with big sis today in nearest big city for some shopping, we started connecting again a couple of years ago. We started with a fika, then shopping, then thai food. It was really fun. Less fun was when my stomach started churning at the train station and I had to hurry to a toilet and someone was yanking the door handle a lot while I shouted IT´S OCCUPIED! F-ing morons.

Relaxing in front of the telly now watching trash and drinking wine.

Hope all wenches has a lovely evening

Evening wenches.

Shopping didn’t happen because of horrid weather which is still happening. Homework hasn’t happened because DS2’s not really been up to it. Took dad to a hospital appointment which seemed to go okay. Haven’t done much else really.

🤞🏻For FancyDD being home for the binge watch tomorrow. I’m hurtling through episodes of Grimm.

Hope wenches are warm and dry and happy and not being disturbed whilst in a public toilet. What is wrong with people?

Just marking time till I’ve said I’ll go out to collect DH.

Totally second drawing the curtains Helen. I also recommend a hot shower before putting on clean PJ's and getting into bed with clean sheets and a book, bliss

Glad you had a nice time with your DSis ww and grrrr at twats in toilets and bad weather and covid.

I don't think I'll see much of DD over Christmas Helen as she has a job near uni and is working until 21st and will be spending Xmas away with her Dad. Covid permitting.....

Morning wenches.

Hot shower, clean pjs, clean sheets and a book made me do a little sigh of happiness Fancy.

DS2 seems much better today but not up to sportingactivity which at least gives him more homework time. Ironing for me and possibly some knitting.

How are you all Helen?

Afternoon, it is grey & miserable here, a day for staying in I think. Have managed to freecycle some things this morning though which always cheers me up, as does opening up the cheese advent calendar

How are the occupants of the tav sick bay today?

Apricot, your reminders of the day length changes cheer me up, you're right, it's nearly the shortest day.

Morning-ish.

We have sunshine and blue skies (between the rain) which is nice. I got to lie in bed looking at blue skies and clouds and leaves wafting past.

I think, I'm not feeling any worse. I will take that. I'm not feeling sick at the moment, but my ears feel bunged up, which is new. DH says he feels ok, DS can't talk because he's on the xbox

CuteKitten is sitting on the TV stand contemplating killing some cross country skiers. He was also very interested in snooker yesterday. My plans for the day involve the sofa and not doing much.

Fingers crossed for a Fancy&DD MoneyHeist Binge tonight and knitting chez LetUs. And HBFs all round.

In other news, apparently JKR has finished the next Strike book, due out next year some time.

Afternoon. Still cold and grey here.

Glad you're not feeling any worse Helen, the sofa seems like a good idea. at CuteKitten watching the snooker.

Yay for fika and shopping, knitting and cheese advent calendar.

Evening wenches.

Strop from DS2 over homework so at least he’s feeling better.

I bloody love the sound of that calendar Fancy.

at snooker watching CuteKitten. Hopefully these are just stages of you improving Helen and the rest of ChezHelen.

I understand it’s Monday tomorrow. Not keen if I’m honest.

'm a bit tired. Early night. Fingers crossed for starting to feel better tomorrow.

Morning wenches.

Oh Helen lovely, I hope you’re on the mend now

Daaaark but I am also cheered by Apricot’s daylight hours reminder.

Morning, enjoying a quiet morning cuddled up with ScaredyCat so far. Really ought to get moving soon and do some stuff Also need to start thinking about Christmas and all the logistics, in case of last minute changes in restrictions from our esteemed Govt
