Swagger Inn 171. Spring is just around the corner, but the HBFs still need their overcoats to keep us warm.

[ApricotCrush]

More domestic shenanigans, trials and tribulations...

Morning all. Banging headache last night. Have mostly subdued it with asprin and am mildly concerned that there may be a correlation between hot baths and headaches, Though maybe it's the knackeredness and headaches, and the bath just happened to fall inbetween. Fingers crossed (and will make sure I thoroughly rehydrate after the next hot bath, just in case).

CuteKitten is being very cute and the sun is out. I'm going back to bed until it's time to work. Once CuteKitten climbs off.

Hope that Monday's not too bad. Did Wicked have northern lights again last night? I saw an aurora alert...

Afternoon. Lovely day today, although still on the cold side. The washing dried so that's good.

That sounds very industrious for a Sunday Fancy.

Hope today hasn't been too bad LetUs. Poor DD gets the Sunday Evening Dreads too, she's not happy with her job.

Also hope Helen's headache has gone.

Evening. Kind of a meh day, feeling a bit low, probably hormones.

We did have northern lights yesterday but I didn't see it. I wonder why it comes so often now? Is it the end of the world or something?

Hope your head is better today Helen.

Had fika with nice neighbours this weekend and also went to the hairdresser

Hope your parents are doing ok Letus.

Sounds like everyone needs a Tav lock-in

Have had a lazy day - bit of a walk with FancyMan, lunch, then tea and frothy TV in the afternoon. Planning a lazy evening - have started watching The Man in the High Castle, was it you that watched it apricot?

Evening wenches.

That sounds a top day Fancy.

Perhaps the extra Northern Lights is in a vain bid to make people feel better

Hope you’re feeling better Helen. It must be the tiredness contributing to the headaches

Oh poor DD Apricot

I need an early night.

That sounds like a very lovely day Fancy, and yes to the Tav lock-in. We are in need...

On the plus side, I did washing too and got two loads through the machine and dried. The weather has been lovely here.

Headache has gone thanks. (phew) Though I think I should have an early night with HBFs just to be sure.

Apparently the TB film with Ruth Wilson is out on 1st April. An early review said that it's a film in the growing genre of people whose lives go to hell when they get involved with TB

Morning wenches. Been awake ages again. Bit bored of it now.

Hurrah for headache going Helen and at that early review.

Do I have to get up? I really don’t want to.

Morning all. No LetUs - you don't have to get up

Lovely and sunny here. Have finally been allowed back into MN

Afternoon. I woke up with a pounding headache. I think it's the beginning of the change-of-season headaches which I get in spring and autumn. Anyway it's gone now.

That's good that you have nice neighbours WW. Don't know what to think of the extra Northern Lights.

No it wasn't me who watched The Man in the High Castle Fancy. Think it may have been Badders.

at the film review.

Evening wenches.

Unfortunately I did have to get up. Tuesday is very much proving itself to be Monday by another name.

I’m full of a cold (have done a Covid test in case - negative) and DS2 has a shitload of homework all due for Friday that he needs help with. Stuff he can do himself he does, but he does still struggle. And it’s not like he didn’t do loads over the weekend either, because he did.

Pleased your headache’s gone Apricot.

Evening, have been pottering today - went to the garden centre and did some tidying up and feeding of some borders. Oh and I repurposed some more weeds , mostly self seeded primroses, the bottom of my garden has loads already and they are looking gorgeous at the moment.

Boo to homework and headaches, and the general shit state of the world at the moment The Man in the High Castle was maybe not a great choice to start watching as it's a bit grim.

Evening all.

That's a pain re. the headache Apricot. Headaches can just FTFO in general.

I've been repurposing weeds too Fancy though mine were forget-me-nots Your primroses sound lovely. If we put different men in the High Castle, would that help?

LetUs Dr Aramis prescribes being wrapped up in HBFs and thoroughly pampered. It won't help with homework or Covided parents, but it might provide a nice distraction?

I like the sound of your weekend Wicked - pampering and friends...

Morning all. Lots of high cloud this morning, with occasional golden splodges where the sun is trying to break through. It's BOJ day, so commuting ahoy...

Morning wenches.

Feel fairly crap but still negative so hopefully paracetamol will do the trick for me. And of course the excellent advice given above.

at waving the forget me nots at Athos.

Afternoon
Back in the office and admiring the weather out of the window - I would say it's grey and dreary, but actually the sky has a slightly sickly yellow colour.

Hope the paracetamol work for you letus & that you continue to test negative.

Good idea helen, it definitely can't hurt can it?

Afternoon. Rain all day here.

I've been reading about the yellowy sky Fancy, apparently it's sand being blown over from the Sahara.

Get better soon LetUs.

at forget-me-knots and Athos.

Love this: A yacht belonging to an oligarch is stuck in Norway because they refuse to sell gas to them "Sven Holmlund, a local oil supplier, offered little in the way of empathy for the crew members and was quoted by national publication NRK, “Why should we help them? They can row home or use a sail.” 😂

that is fabulous ww

Apricot, you come up trumps (nto) again - I did not know that!

Evening all. We had rain from the afternoon onwards. With a nice coating of Sarahan dust.

Love the Norwegian vs. oligarch yacht scenario

Fancy - should we move the tavern temporarily to the High Castle so we can stock both with HBFs simultaneously?

Morning all - back to glorious sunlight, hurrah! This means, freelancing permitting, I will be back in the garden today planting out some teeny-tiny poppy plants :D Obviously I have far more important things to do right now, like be a cat bed.

DS tried to put his shoe on the wrong foot this morning. I laughed. He was huffy and indignant. 'My Little 5-year-old'

Morning wenches.

Left work early yesterday as I wasn’t feeling any better. Had a better night’s sleep but am taking another day off as not properly well. Hopefully a day of feet up, watching Miss Marple and history programmes will do the trick.

They can row home or use a sail - love it

at MiniHelen

Afternoon. Nice morning, clouded over now.

at the yacht in Norway. Literally up a creek without a paddle.

Lol at MiniHelen. At least he has his shoes though. DGS has lost his, probably together with his uniform, after not picking up his bag after PE. DH had a plaintive text from him asking if it was in the car. Sadly not. I hate it when he's in trouble.

Hope the day at home has helped LetUs. and

Got some bad news today, the septic tank thingy won’t be done until August maybe, something to do with the permit, takes for ages to be handled (or what you call it)
