Swagger Inn 173 - Winter is coming, wrap up in someone warm.

Thread 173 . Break out the duvets and huddle round the scorching hot brazier HBF-of-choice.

Yet more domestic drivel and shameless perving.

Morning. Its lovely and sunny today. So I have to work of course. Not that the weather was bad yesterday, it's a nicer morning.

Sympathies on the revision tedium LetUs - I think the only thing to do is make a joke of it and get him to sign something in blood next time!
Hope everywench has a good day.

Afternoon. Lovely sunny day. I tried to sit in the garden but it was a bit too chilly.

Hope your snow has gone WW.

at Folk Festival guests.

Good that you managed to salvage the knitting LetUs, it’s a horrible feeling when you realise you’ve gone wrong

Evening wenches.

What a lovely sunny day! The breeze was still fairly chilly but the sunshine makes a big difference.

Work was decidedly worky. NiceColleague and I are generally friendly and helpful but we’re considering putting a sign on our door saying “this is not a drop-in centre because you’re not busy and fancy a chat - fuck off”.

DS2 has done some revision so I suppose that’s something.

Started out as a yucky Monday but turned out rather great when the last episodes of The Walking Dead was finally released, I’ve been avoiding spoilers since last year. I know what I’ll be doing this easter 😀
And also one of my landladies came by with a piece of homemade cheesecake, lemon and passionfruit! How nice is that?! 😀

Yum wicked - that's excellent! And good news on Waking Dead (which I've never watched).

I had quite a productive day work-wise, and car repairs are moving on, so all good. (And a loads of towels went through the washing machine and dried on the line - so 'Yay!') It was cold though, despite the sun.

Sympathises on the overly sociable colleagues LetUs - I rely on on spinning round for a quick chat and then spinning back to my computer to work again - the message usually gets through,

Morning wenches.

It’s the little tippy tape knocks on the door and then the cheery hiyas over and over. It’s astonishing as you wouldn’t think there were that many people in I do tend to put my headphones in and say “must get on with this”.

How kind of her Wicked! And hurrah for final episodes arriving.

Sunny again but frosty. Looks nice though.

Morning all. Also sunny/frosty here. and it's 9am I must remember that just because DS is on holiday, I still have to do the work thing. Fortunately freelancing today though. Plus putting up signs for VillageEvent and doing washing etc etc.

Saw a Bullfinch yesterday which was lovely and very rare here (every few years).

BoringOfficeJob is open plan LetUs - so I suppose it spreads the pain a bit - you get everyone's social chat too, but then you don't get it repeated to you again because you were already in earshot making vague 'mmm?' noises whilst trying to work though it.

Afternoon. Another lovely day, it’s amazing how a bit of sun motivates you. I got the bedclothes washed and on the line and they’re back on the bed now.

Good that you’ve got your Easter sorted WW, I’ve never watched Walking Dead either. Also what a nice landlady you have.

Hope everyone’s had a good day without annoying colleagues.

Evening wenches.

Work can Fuck Right Off after today and then an hour to get home.

Interesting about a bullfinch Helen, from the point of view of you not seeing one very often. I shall look one up to see what it looks like.

There is definitely something in the sunshine Apricot, and it’s so nice to get bedding on the line.

I had to google bullfinch, they’re called domherre here, I haven’t seen one in years, lots of great tits (seriously?) though mine not included

🍷🍷🍷 for Letus

Oh yes - lots of tits Wicked We get great tits, blue tits, coal tits and very very occasionally, bearded tits.

<cwtch> and [HBFs] for LetUs

Morning wenches.

Wicked. Tits abound here. Our specialty is the Common Work Tit, subspecies lesser-spotted Office Tit.

Gosh that’s a big one Helen for me to nibble on <cackles in manner of Sid James>

Sunshine all gone now and replaced by rain. Have excellent days wenches.

Good lord - the size of the chocolate icon! MN are clearly getting paid by Cadburys for that!

Anyway, another clear, sunny and frost start. The birds (tits included) are all stuffing their faces and having dust-ups over food/territory/mating rights.

The burn on my finger is now hard and scabby and cracked. It's enormously tempting to pick at it.... I think I'll have to stick another plaster on.

Bonkers dream alert - behind the scenes/not-used Musketeer scene. Aramis had massively long dreadlocks which had been wired up, so that they could be twisted and style into shapes - and when they came to filming, the dreadlocks stuck up like a peacock tail behind him 😂 I have no idea where that came from. But it morphed into a 'we've moved house' dream where DH hated it and we had to move back again. And our old cat was alive still, so it was nice to see him and have a cuddle.

Hope everywench has a good day!

Morning. Comedy gig was good thanks and we had a very nice meal after.

Yay for bonus cheesecake ww and for utterly bonkers dreams Helen, where the hell did that come from?!

Work is being, well worky. Still it's a short week and DSus and her DH will be here over Easter.

Plenty of tits here - great and blue ones and sometimes long tailed tits, which are so cute.

Afternoon. Well, the sun didn’t last long. Rain all day.

See the odd blue tit here, but that’s about it. We had a pair of jays last year but I haven’t seen them this year yet.

Bonkers dream Helen, where do they come from?

We got snow today

Evening wenches.

Work was extra twatty today so the less said about that the better. I’ll take that super large chocolate bar though.

I mean, I’ve had some absolutely crackers dreams recently Helen but that puts them in the shade Awww At nostalgic cat cuddles though.

I’ll have to get out our book of garden birds to see what’s fluttering about.

Was going to moan about the pissing down rain but I’d rather have that than snow. Keep warm Wicked.

Evening. Oooh - Long tailed tits - yes. Those too.

Work was workish with Year End shenanigans. Still. Then I had a nice post-work catch-up with a friend with DH and DS were off being sporty.

It's been sunny and dry here today, though starting to drizzle a bit by 8pm.

Morning wenches.

Catch ups with friends are so good. I shall be doing that with BestFriend tomorrow.

Rain again although it seems to be brightening up a bit. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry and sunny so I’m already planning which washing to do. Rocknroll.

Running very late today so I should speed things up a bit.

Morning. All dull and damp outside. Very uninspiring - apart from the urge to go back to bed again. Or put more layers on / light a fire / generally hibernate.

I watching a pair of pigeons on the roof - one is doing a bobbing up/down little dance at the other - who looks very unimpressed and is having none of this nonsense. They've just been joined by a third, and the one being danced at has flown off in disgust. Nature in all it's glory

Afternoon. Showery and dull here.

at pigeon failing to attract a mate.

We’re going to the caravan tomorrow for the weekend with DD & Co and I’m trying to pack, tidy the house, get up to date with the ironing and failing miserably at all.

Anyway have a lovely weekend all, and I’ll try to keep in touch.

Afternoon all. Rainy and sunny here.

TFI and all that.

Have a lovely weekend Apricot

Evening wenches.

Rain finally stopped but gosh it went quite breezy. The pigeon shenanigans sounds very much like a night out at the clubs in my town during the 90s

Have a very enjoyable weekend Apricot.

I am more excited than I should be about the prospect of what washing I can get done this weekend.

Evening
Have been working from home today as the office was experiencing some plumbing issues - quite handy as I needed to go to the shops today.

Bloody randy pigeons helen, they really can't hear the word 'no' can they?
DSis & her DH arriving tomorrow (hence going to the shops for Easter food) so tomorrow will be spent cleaning & if it stops raining, maybe some gardening.

Morning wenches.

Fingers crossed for rain stopping so you can do some gardening Fancy.

Sunny here. Washing already on the line, another in the machine. Postponed yarn shop visit with BestFriend this morning. Nothing much else planned.

Have lovely days wenches.
