Afternoon. It’s quite warm out and the washing has dried, but no sun.

I can’t type on a touchscreen Helen, I keep hitting the wrong letters and it takes me twice as long as a keyboard. I’ve been typing since I was 18, on those non-electric typewriters that you had to bash, but the letters on a touchscreen seem to have a mind of their own. Hope you don’t have to wait too long for the laptop.

It was fun, but I don’t think I could sit through Barbie again, even for research purposes. Hmm

Yay for Strike, but it’s always a worry when something is so far in the future. I bought DH a year’s supply of some supplements he takes as they were on offer, and he jokingly said he hopes he’s here to take them all. Shock You just never know.

Hope LetUs has managed to get through the day alright.

Have a good evening all.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 28/07/2023 19:25

This day have been so stressful <inhales wine>

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 28/07/2023 20:48

Evening all, the laptop is being collected on Tuesday. <le sigh> so I don't hold out any hope for a speedy process.

It has been a day of work. DS is now wittering Star Wars at me <le enormous sigh> Also no rain here.

I think the next Strike book is out soon.

LetUsPrey · 28/07/2023 21:12

Evening wenches.

The day wasn’t too bad after all. Throat much better. Could do without yet again several people realising oh no this thing needs sorting out when it’s about 3.30. No matter. Weekend is here now.

<pinches one of Wicked’s Wine>

I think new Strike is September, which is also the new Natalie Haynes.

My dad says stuff like that Apricot Grin

You should put MiniHelen in touch with one of my nephews. They can have Star Wars “discussions”.

LetUsPrey · 29/07/2023 08:14

Morning wenches.

Not actually raining at the moment but I shan’t risk putting the washing out.

Out shopping with BestFriend this morning then loads to do at home. Might even make an early start on the ironing. The actual excitement.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 29/07/2023 08:51

Morning all. I woke up early because my back hurts. It doesn't hurt any less for sitting on the sofa, than being in bed, which is annoying. That will teach me to rugby tackle escaping dogs Hmm

I have no plans today, apart from wanting to pick fruit before it goes over (if it hasn't already). Also I should pack up my laptop so that it's done.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 29/07/2023 09:24

Up at 7 for a shift at an ER, I don’t usually work there but everyone else is on vacation, I and our IT support spent all yesterday to try to get a password, easier to get one to MI5. I called their IT support twice, they seemed to think I was a hacker or something, really condescending attitude, I was fuming. Finally our IT support managed to solve it at 16.30 yesterday afternoon. Otherwise there would be no one transcribing for the ER the whole weekend, I’m working tomorrow as well.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 29/07/2023 09:25

Have fun shopping Letus 😀

Hope your back gets better Helen.

FancyFancy · 29/07/2023 12:14

Blimey ww, sounds like it's going to be a hectic weekend for you.

Here's hoping for better backs and dry days all round for people. I need to mow the lawn before it rains again <farts around on the internet instead>

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 29/07/2023 13:32

Might come across as a bit dramatic, I only work a few hours in the morning, don’t know if they have their own staff the rest of the day. I’m mainly pissed off about the password hassle.

Ordered a new bigger TV on sale of course, the old one is about 13 years old and the sound disappears sometimes Hmm

Hope all wenches has a lovely day.

LetUsPrey · 29/07/2023 15:31

Afternoon wenches.

Hope the fruit picking went well and your back’s better Helen.

That sounds such a pain in the arse Wicked. So really the new tv is completely justified, as well as needing to replace the existing one, you absolutely deserve it.

<clones Fancy for lawn mowing purposes>

Shopping went very well and I got a goodie back which has got some excellent stuff in it. Out for tea tonight but I’ll drive as I’m knackered.

ApricotCrush · 29/07/2023 16:51

Afternoon. Sunny intervals so I had an hour or so in the garden, but the wind was a bit chilly.

That does sound stressful WW, but yay for the new television.

Hope your back gets better soon Helen.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 29/07/2023 19:05

Evening all. I'm going to have a nice hot bath tonight so hopefully that will sort out my back. Apparently my rugby tackle looked quite impressive, so at least I looked Good while I was breaking myself Hmm

Hope that your day wasn't too stressful wicked - when does the new TV arrive?also hope that fancy got the mowing done. Hurrah for shopping and goodie bags LetUs, and garden-lounging for apricot.

I left the fruit too late, because I'm an idiot. Still, the birds should have had a nice few meals. This afternoon has included a mooch out along a local walk, and I started packing up the laptop. whoop. Also, washing is still on the line.

LetUsPrey · 30/07/2023 09:44

Morning wenches.

Windy and rainy here. I really resent suffering with hayfever or whatever when it’s pissing it down.

Usual Sunday ahead but without ironing as I did all that yesterday.

<restocks linament cupboard and directs Helen to treatment room>

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 30/07/2023 09:46

Morning. sunny and windy here. the washing that I left out overnight is pretty much dry.

no plans today, maybe a walk.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 30/07/2023 12:31

Maybe a week or so Helen, and then I have to figure out how it works Confused

We have rain and thunder here, so I’ve unplugged everything.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 30/07/2023 12:35

Was invited over to nice landladies yesterday for tapas and to play Hidden Reality, were you get to solve a murder case with help of police reports, evidence, witness statements etc. Quite difficult but interesting.

ApricotCrush · 30/07/2023 16:57

Afternoon. Windy and raining here yet again. So fed up of it. No motivation to do anything useful.

That sounds interesting WW. How nice that you have such lovely landladies.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 30/07/2023 19:13

Evening wenches.

Your landladies sound amazing Wicked!

Same here Apricot, although it was dry this morning and I managed to get some washing dry. But since mid-afternoon it’s been raining and windy and I am also very bored of it.

Met the latest baby addition to the family today. She’s very cute Smile

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 30/07/2023 21:30

evening all. we got rain at about 9pm, but it was nice before then so I have had walks in the woods and at the beach. then home to cook tea etc. and the washing dried on the line. hurrah!
am yawning my head off, so hopefully I will be off to the hayloft shortly.
<continues to faff about online>

LetUsPrey · 31/07/2023 07:23

Morning wenches.

Beach and woodland walks sound wonderful Helen.

Chucking it down again here. Awake early so I thought I might as well get up. Flapjacks are in the oven, washing up’s done, washing in the machine.

Hope wenches manage to stay dry.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 31/07/2023 08:23

Ooft - that's impressively productive LetUs. I've been feeding animals and clearing up cat-vom <side-eyes at intelligent cat> Also feeding mozzies <cbf> who are very happy with the current damp weather. So I've just been slathering anthisan all over my legs.

Next stop, feed myself (and not to KillerKitty, despite what he may think).

Hope everywench has a good day.

ApricotCrush · 31/07/2023 16:32

Afternoon. Lovely sunny start to the day. I was in the shower at 6.30, dealt with Misty, put a wash on, hand washed some stuff I forgot to put in the machine, did breakfast and put washing on the line. I am so motivated by the sun. Then at 9 o’clock it went overcast so I went back to bed with iPad as it’s the warmest place. At 10.30 it started to rain so the washing went into the tumbler as I hate it hanging around for days. <sigh>

Awwww at new baby LetUs. Smile

I have been WorkyMcWorkFace, and that's about it. I'm also starving so I need to stage a raid on the kitchen and eat something healthy like a banana. (I'm craving chocolate and general sweet stuff, and I must not eat any more chocolate today. #tubby)
