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

All the wine for LetUs, a long hot HBF bath, and HBFs. And FFS at short notice from school. I know they can't help it, but...

Shock at No Golf! Can you go on a mini-break Apricot? Hide until MrA is back in action? Or send him on a mini-break? Hope he gets better soon though.

DS came home saying he'd hurt his foot and didn't know how. Then later he mentioned how he'd literally fallen over a friend at school. So that might have something to do with it Hmm

I have watched the second half of Knights Tale with DS. It was fun. Also, James Purefoy. Would. Grin

LetUsPrey · 23/10/2021 10:09

Morning wenches.

Thanks Helen, long hot —HBF— bath was much appreciated. Hmm how could MiniHelen have injured his foot? Such a mystery. I may watch A Discovery of Witches episodes again with James Purefoy in them on your behalf.

Don’t know what’s wrong me. Everything just feels a bit shit, even though things are fine for the most part.

Today is washing and visit to nearby LargeShoppingPlace followed hopefully by trip to see DS1.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 23/10/2021 11:40

Hope you feel better soon Letus ❤️

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/10/2021 12:05

Morning. Sometimes everything does just feel a bit shit, LetUs irrespective of what's going on in reality. Fingers crossed for a nice day shopping and seeing DS1 though.

I need to do washing too. Whoop Hmm

FancyFancy · 23/10/2021 12:30

Letus sometimes everything does feel a bit meh.

Washing, dear god I need to do some. Am behind on housework again, but am feeling very unmotivated to do any......

ApricotCrush · 23/10/2021 17:32

Evening wenches. Also feeling unmotivated today, have done bugger all except some knitting.

What a stressful day for you LetUs, hope you've had a better day today, with the shopping and visit to DS1.

We watched the last in the series of Grantchester last night. It was a bit heavy going to be honest, but... Leonard is free! Hurrah!

LetUsPrey · 23/10/2021 17:37

Bits of shopping went well, other bits didn’t. We did go to see DS1 (not before DS2 had had one his strops) and had a late lunch. It was lovely to see DS1 though.

I’m quite happy to do washing. Bring it round to the Tav laundry.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/10/2021 17:52

Do you have Dog hiding under the floorboards as well? Grin

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/10/2021 18:39

TB is for sale, currently at £200 £201 - this must be monitored for entertainment purposes... Grin

I have a wonderful image in my head of him sitting there for 30 minutes being bombarded by inappropriate questions, just saying 'no comment' Grin

LetUsPrey · 23/10/2021 18:54

Banging his head on the table by the end of it

I’ve got Dog pairing up socks

Hurrah for Leonard being free!

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 23/10/2021 19:00

2014? Can’t believe it’s been that long!

LetUsPrey · 23/10/2021 21:46

2014? Good grief!

Watched Strictly. Going to watch a bit more Vera now and then bed.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/10/2021 22:58

What's 2014? #baffled
What have I missed now? (Or was it just a random 'I can't believe we've been wittering online for that long' sort of comment?)

Also, I didn't do any washing today. Tomorrow I will be more organised.

LetUsPrey · 24/10/2021 07:50

Morning wenches. 2014 is when TM started (I looked it up). Wicked, was it the mention of Dog in the laundry that prompted the how long it’s been? That’s my assumption anyway Grin

Ironing today, baking, parent visiting, reminding DS2 that he still needs to do homework and organise it even though it’s half term.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 24/10/2021 09:50

Morning all. The washing is on the line! (Whether it will dry is another matter, but it's the thought that counts) I might even put another load in the machine #LivingDangerously Grin

Plans today are horsing and meeting a friend and doing a food shop and trying to get the room-that-has-been-emptied re-filled with things that need to go there, and throw out things that don't need to be anywhere. And to be a cat bed, according to CuteKitten who is purring his head off with his nose stuffed in my armpit Hmm DaftKitten.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 24/10/2021 12:18

I klicked on that link and it mentioned that he played Athos in TM 2014-2016. I was just a wee girl of 43 back then Grin

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 24/10/2021 12:36

Ah - yes. Back in the day when I was all sweetness and light and didn't swear as much Grin

FancyFancy · 24/10/2021 12:56

I'm on my third load this weekend - not sure how much it's drying though!

Out with the DC tonight for an early bday dinner.

I'm sure the questions will be entirely appropriate - after all, they weren't interested in him like that as they are so much more highbrow than us Grin

ApricotCrush · 24/10/2021 17:40

Afternoon/Evening.

DH has been practising swinging his golf clubs on the lawn and has re-injured his shoulder. So still no golf. He's not happy nor am I.

Poor Tom, although I'm sure he knows what he's letting himself in for.

Grin at them being much more highbrow than us.

Have a good evening all.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 24/10/2021 20:05

Oh yes, we could barely pretend a genuine interest in plot Grin

Hope you’re having a lovely evening Fancy

Have washed, ironed, baked, visited parents, had a bath which would have been more relaxing without constant sodding interruptions from DH and DS2 about football.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 24/10/2021 20:35

Why is it Monday tomorrow already?

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 24/10/2021 21:13

Evening. at MrA for being stupid and overdoing his shoulder when it's still wonky. for Apricot Grin

I have done everything I planned to do today, I think. Which is pretty much a first.

But I didn't hit post on this...

LetUsPrey · 25/10/2021 07:38

Morning wenches.

Monday can indeed get in the bin. Far too many of them.

Very quiet here. Not much noise from outside, DS2 is miraculously still asleep. Hopefully the roads will be quieter. I know where one end of the road closure is, but I haven’t seen the sign for the other end so that’s going to be a surprise this morning.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 25/10/2021 09:16

Morning all.

Bright and sunny here so there is more washing in the machine.

Hopefully the traffic will be ok LetUs - with half term and all? Assuming you're on half term now? (I think you are.)

I need to crack on with work, I have 'Going for a Walk' plans for this afternoon.

ApricotCrush · 25/10/2021 17:33

Afternoon. Lovely day, much washing done and I've done a bit of garden tidying as it's bin day on Wednesday.

Poor DH had to sleep sitting up, ibuprofen isn't helping. I think it's a muscle spasm, as he has no idea how it happened.

Road still closed here, but at least they are working on it now. I counted the speed bumps on the diversion to our road this morning and there are 22! My car doesn't like them.
