Swagger Inn 174 - It's Spring, supposedly. Let's all dance around the maypole with the HBFs

[ApricotCrush]

Here we go again, more witterings and domestic shenanegans...

Morning wenches, we have cloud, hurrah! I also have final LocalEvent looming, so I am going to be headless chickening...

Morning wenches.

Another warm one here but with a welcome breeze.

Hurrah for excellent gig! And hurrah at you not giving way to manspreader Fancy! Arse.

Also couldn’t believe Debbie Harry was 78. That’s only just younger than my mum!

Afternoon. Cloudy and a bit cooler but still no rain.

Glad you enjoyed the gig Fancy.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Evening all. Cloudy all day, and a bit of rain

Given that I'm been having a long-lasting winge about the lack of rain, I probably shouldn't complain, but it would have been handy if it had held off until LocalEvent was done. But it is a relief to get some rain.

I'm off at sparrows fart tomorrow, so I should get off the laptop...

Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow...

Morning wenches.

Rain can be very inconsiderate at times with its timing Helen.

Didn’t sleep very well last night. Anxiety holiday dreams have been replaced by anxiety DS1 results dreams.

Afternoon. We have rain. Not much but it should do some good.

I hate middle of the night anxiety LetUs. Just lately though, Misty seems to be awake when I am and she walks up me for a stroke. That seems to put everything right until the next time. #TherapyCat.

Hope LocalEvent is going well.

Evening all. No rain today, also no sun, but I've got sunburnt anyway. FFS. I am mostly utterly exhausted and just hauled myself back out of bed to print some stuff we need for tomorrow. LocalEvent is going quite well though. <side-eyes at weather forecast (deluge) for tomorrow>

I like the idea of #TherapyCat, I feel like I need one of those just now.

Morning. Rain overnight here, not sure it was the promised deluge though. Builders have finished all the walls, so just fences and a little bit of tidying up left - which they can't do today because of the rain.

Otherwise it's just work and more work <yawns>

Aw at Misty

Afternoon wenches.

We had rain here too overnight, which was a bit confusing really

That’s so sweet of Misty.

Hope the event goes well Helen and any rain holds off until an appropriate time.

<passes caffeinated cheese to Fancy - I doubt that’s a thing but it is now>

Afternoon. Much rain here too overnight, but cloudy and sunny today.

We had a power cut last night, but fortunately I’d just finished cooking although DH didn’t get any parsley sauce on his fish. I prefer tartar sauce and as that comes out of a jar I wasn’t affected. There was also an earthquake north of here although I don’t think the two were connected. We didn’t feel it, but they did in the village up the road.

Hope the deluge didn’t materialise Helen.

Caffeinated cheese sounds interesting.

Morning

Caffeinated cheese? Now there's a thought.....

That made me chuckle about the sauces apricot

Looking forward to a Friday evening of crap TV and a large glass of something. What programme full of faf to watch though? Or shall I just meander round the internet looking for videos of Sunday's gig?

Afternoon. Dull and drizzly today.

<looks round> It’s quiet in here. Hope everyone’s enjoying themselves.

Have a lovely evening Fancy whatever you decide to watch. We’re on the second series of Before We Die. It’s alright. The Duke of Savoy is in it.

Afternoon/evening wenches. Bit breezy here today which was something of a relief, just as long as it doesn’t overdo it

Eeek at power cuts and nearby earthquakes Apricot!

I’m sure you’ll find something worth watching Fancy with a great plot, script, cast, etc etc - you know all the important stuff

Oh Fuck off MN. I just typed a long post, then accidently wafted my curso over one of their adverts and MN loaded it up and lost my post. Why can't MN be more like FB and actually ask if you meant to leave the page when something hasn't been posted yet? F*k.
<has temper tantrum; retypes truncated post>

So.... the deluge was 7-8mm rain max. and a morning of cold dreary weather which resulted in buying cheap fleeces from a clothes stall. Other than that (and the hideous 5am starts), LocalEvent went well.

Tomorrow I am looking forward to a lie-in, though the manshapes are also at home all day, so I suspect my lie-in won't really happen much, because I'll wake up and then lie in bed, not get back to sleep, and just end up getting up while they sleep in. <le grand humphy visage>

at the Earthquake Apricot - do you think it was actually caused by the lack of parsley sauce? I remember being woken by one once - or rather, I was woken by a pheasant kicking off outside, and then the bed started shaking. DH was most alarmed and did the 'bolt upright in bed' thing while I just mumbled "Earthquake - go back to sleep." I've no idea why I was so supremely unbothered, other than sleep is high on my list of priorities - well above reacting to an earthquake.

Have fun with the trashy TV Fancy - you should probably watch a selection of different things so you can have a scientific comparison of their relative benefits <tae> Maybe devise a weighted checklist and see which one gets the highest score? Are you coming home tomorrow LetUs? Safe travels if so. Is WW still hungover?

Morning all. It's cloudy. That's all. No plans, I'm on the sofa with laptop and book. I should get some gardening done though.

Afternoon wenches.

at your earthquake priority system Helen.

We come back Tuesday. Sun has been a bit shy again today but at least it’s not windy, and it goes sunny again tomorrow. Had a trip out today which was full of history and other interesting stuff and … A CHEESE FARM!

Afternoon. Sunny intervals, washing on line.

at earthquake being caused by lack of parsley sauce. I did the same as you Helen some years ago. DH was in Portugal and I was woken one night by the bed shaking. I thought ‘oh that’s an earthquake’ and went straight back to sleep. We later found that there was a crack across the terrace that must have been caused by it.

Yay for trip to cheese farm and other interesting stuff LetUs.

Evening all. I'm not sure where the day went, but then again I was still slobbing around in PJs at midday, so... Anyway. I planted out more veg and lugged watering cans about, and tomorrow I will do housework stuff.

Afternoon all. I have been doing chores all day (control your excitement). My plan is to have lunch, then peel the potatoes ready for tonight. I am even boring myself

Afternoon wenches.

I am impressed with the wench sang froid as far as earthquakes are concerned!

That is quite exciting Helen because I suspect something delicious will be happening to those potatoes,

Sunshine is back today and tomorrow is forecast the same, then it’s home time and back to reality

Afternoon. Dull and cloudy here and quite cold. I have a cardigan on.

My printer tells me the ink pad has expired whatever that means and it refuses to work. The cartridges are fairly new. Never known that to happen before and I have some urgent scanning to do. Typical.

Hope your last day there is sunny for you LetUs.

Afternoon. An unexpectedly late night yesterday - went to FancyMan's DS's school concert, which overran. Some very talented kids, but it was a little loud in parts - sounds daft after the gig last Sunday! Also - and I can't believe I'm typing this - the bass was too loud

So have not achieved too much today - been to the shops & made a trip to the garden centre to get a present for my neighbour who has been very accomodating over the wall being re-built. This meant I needed to buy some new plants for me too, naturally The interesting looking weed seedlings that I had left growing as I thought they may be poppies are now starting to look more like small tomato plants - a bit of a surprise.

<arf> at surprise tomato plants Fancy. How mundane. Still - tomatoes!

LetUs - My potatoes will be boiled and mashed by DH. Not overly exciting, but tasty.

We've mostly had cloud and wind here, though it's hot when the sun breaks through.

The annoying thing is Helen is that I bought tomato plants this year - they're looking like triffids on the patio, surrounded by nasturtiums - so I could end up with a glut! If that's what they are, then some seeds must have survived the compost bin. Surprising as I can't believe I threw any tomatoes out.

Also can't believe I missed A CHEESE FARM!!!!!!

Please tell me it is a farm where little cheeses are free to roam and gambol around the fields <dreams of cheese>
