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

Morning. This there was a late frost here - the grass is slightly crunchy underfoot. Everything is fed and watered and I think I might sneak back to bed for a bit before I log in to Boring OfficeJob - spreadsheets and finance ahoy Confused

Have a good day all.

ApricotCrush · 21/01/2022 16:43

Afternoon. I've done Sainsbury's and posted a parcel and done some washing and errr.. where's the day gone? Confused

DD is awaiting the result of a further PCR test. She hopes it's positive as apart from a slightly sore throat she's had no symptoms.

We've watched A Very British Scandal. What a fascinating lady the Duchess of Argyle was. I was a teenager at the time but can't remember the court case. So sad that as a woman she was so vilified, and yet if she had been a man no-one would have turned a hair.

Have a lovely evening all. Wine

Evening all. I spent a lot of the day prepping spreadsheets and doing reports for my meeting this afternoon... which was cancelled with 10 minutes to go Hmm Still, it was all work that needed doing, and it's done now, so that's good.

Then I helped a friend with a website that their rather spiteful group admin had 'shut down' by changing the homepage to say 'This website is closed' and removing all the links. Hurrah for google cache. I retrieved all their stuff for them, and they can get a new website up and running (without idiot ex-webadmin's involvement)

Watching Avengers Endgame with DS now . Not quite the same vibe as 'Very British Scandal' which looks really good, but I haven't seen it (apart from clips on Facebook), just read about it.

Fingers crossed for a very mild case of Covid for ApricotDD. (Is Fancy DS ok now?)

Hope that everywench has had a good day.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 21/01/2022 21:13

Also, there's a new Picard trailer at www.instagram.com/tv/CZAOlz7JB3g/?utm_medium=share_sheet - probably wait a bit and someone will have screen capped the Santi clips...

FancyFancy · 21/01/2022 21:24

Evening
Was today a better day Letus? May as well still have Wine though, just to be on the safe side.

Erm Helen that is a most unwenchy tech non-fail 😱 was it Batshiteer related? DS is fine thanks, even tidied his room today he has friends staying

Glad DD is feeling good apricot. Would you recommend that programme? I'm tempted.....

LetUsPrey · 21/01/2022 21:43

Evening wenches.

Am just out of bath’n’book—and vodka—

Today was better thanks, but probably still wise to have that Wine Fancy Grin

Hope DD is okay Apricot.

You are a Wench to the rescue Helen. You need a cape. I bet there’s an HBF can lend you one.

I’ve done episode 1 of Very British Scandal. Enjoyed it, just haven’t got round to the next two episodes.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 21/01/2022 22:42

Was not at all batshiteery fancy - the person involved makes batshiteers look like the epitome of sanity and reasonableness. Shock

Good idea about the cape LetUs - and being the soul of generosity, I won't even ask the HBF to take it off, I'll get get in there with him Grin

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 22/01/2022 09:12

Morning wenches. It is frosty McFrostface here. I have foregone my lie-in because today I need to start painting (and also go out to pick up new lights that I have ordered on 'click and collect' from the wrong town, so DH can't pick them up after SportingActivity Oops.)

Hope everywench has good day.

LetUsPrey · 22/01/2022 10:00

Morning wenches. Sounds busy but a bit exciting Helen.

No frost here. In fact I have ventured into town without a hat on. Currently at opticians with DS2 then some quick errands. Then it’s the usual weekend thrills.

FancyFancy · 22/01/2022 11:46

Morning. Not frosty here either, but only just. Currently under a cat, but need to get out the the shops

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 22/01/2022 13:09

Still lots of snow here, getting a bit sick of it.
Been foodshopping and also bought wine. Feeling very lazy but will try to vacuum at least.

ApricotCrush · 22/01/2022 17:08

Afternoon, no frost here this morning. I've done bugger all today really.

DD's PCR has come back negative. It must just be a mild cold.

Yes Fancy we enjoyed it. It's only three episodes, so not much to commit to.

Eeek at snow WW, but yay for the wine.

LetUsPrey · 22/01/2022 20:31

Evening wenches.

How long does the snow usually stay Wicked?

Good news that DD doesn’t have Covid Apricot. Hope she’s feeling better soon.

Are you still under a cat Fancy?

DS1 has turned up with his girlfriend as they’ve been to her house for a family party so have come to see us too. Lovely Smile

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 22/01/2022 21:31

Evening. No painting got done, by the time I'd done laundry and gone out to buy paint etc, and put the shopping away... Blush Oh well. Tomorrow is another day, etc.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/01/2022 08:31

Morning.

It's cloudy outside so no frost, and the livestock is fed and asleep/rampaging/clucking about etc. Today I have early morning horsing and then painting.

LetUsPrey · 23/01/2022 10:28

Morning wenches.

We’ve all had mega lie ins today.

Thanks for the Brew Helen. I can help with painting, except for the edges. I’m no good at the edges.

Usual stuff today and I must get on with knitting.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 23/01/2022 14:32

It varies Letus, sometimes it’s tons of snow, then there’s no snow, then it’s raining etc Hmm

FancyFancy · 23/01/2022 16:43

Could've sworn I'd posted yesterday Confused

Not a very exciting weekend here - just pottering around doing some work & some jobs and being under a cat. ScaredyCat is being needy at the moment, lots of wandering around miaowing at me - I think she wants me to get the sun to come out and warm it up outside Grin. Am hoping for a Lucifer watch with DD tonight.

ApricotCrush · 23/01/2022 16:55

Afternoon. No frost but DH has cleaned the cars and says it's very cold out there. I haven't ventured out.

Lovely of DS1 and GF to visit LetUs.

Hope the painting has gone well Helen. I can't paint. I can do a bit of rollering but that's about it. Hmm

Hope the snow buggers off soon WW.

Enjoy Lucifer Fancy.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/01/2022 17:51

Whoop! Two ceilings primed and painted (with one coat - they may need two). We also didn't need to worry about the edges, because the walls are going to be painted as well - at least for a freshen up. We're a bit knackered...

Pottering about sounds like a lovely day Fancy. IntelligentCat is also being very needs - she follows me round yowling if I'm upstairs, then falls asleep on me, or the bed. And then repeats the process. I have no idea what she wants, other than to know where we are at all times and to have company (she sits next to DS on his xbox too, especially if I'm not there.).

Maybe Wicked could build a SnowHBF? He could magically come to life!

Did the knitting get done LetUs - what are you working on now?

Swagger Inn 170. Autumn is here with a vengeance.  I think we'll just hide under the duvet --with HBFs-- until Spring.
LetUsPrey · 23/01/2022 20:13

Evening wenches.

Let’s hope you get a nice amount of snow Wicked that buggers off when you want it to, and perhaps just a useful amount of rain Grin

It was lovely to see them Apricot. They came visiting with us too this afternoon so it was a nice surprise for my mum and dad.

Two ceilings Helen? Blimey, that’s impressive!

Am still on with the second hat. I’ve been very lazy with it. I need to set myself a target of a certain number of rows per day I think or I’ll never get it done.

Hope you get to enjoy Lucifer Fancy.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/01/2022 22:23

Random decoration for Fancy's night in...

I want a bath and I can't, because ceiling painting.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 24/01/2022 07:42

Morning all.

It's daaaaaaaark. But I should go out and feed chickens etc... Today is work and painting. Though I'd like more sleep (I shouldn't sit up doing 'just one more' sudoko when I'm already tired).

LetUsPrey · 24/01/2022 07:49

Morning wenches.

I know exactly what you mean with the sudoku Helen.

Dark also. It’s Monday and I already cba.

ApricotCrush · 24/01/2022 16:21

Afternoon wenches. Yes, it was dark this morning, it doesn't seem to be moving much. Sad

Good idea to set targets with the knitting LetUs, I do that.

Well done with the painting Helen.

Oh dear, DGS has a friend here and they're driving me mad.
