Swagger Inn 176 - I'd rather hunt for FAF than Easter eggs

[FancyFancy]

But sadly no-one hid any for me <sighs>

Enjoy your trip Helen.

Good news about the internet Apes.

Korean food sounds fab Fancy.

Hope work was ok Letus.

I haven't watched any of the olympics but I've seen a clip with that Australian woman attempting to breakdance She got guts at least.

Been to the hospital today for yet another lovely examination of my rectal area. So many people have seen my bum so I'm pondering about opening an Onlyfans account

Evening wenches.

Work wasn’t too bad - shock!

I haven’t seen any Northern Lights either. Might help if I remembered to look 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sudokuing in the sunshine sounds so lovely Apricot.

<admires Helen’s lack of clothing choice>

I suppose that’s always an option if the everyday work dries up Wicked

Morning wenches.

Cloudy again with rain on its way. We’ve got an outdoor party to go to on Saturday though so if it would like to get it all out of the way, that’d be great.

Rubbish sleep so that’s nice.

Have lovely days wenches.

Afternoon wenches. I returned from ForeignParts in the early hours and am a bit space cadet-ish after 800+ miles in two days followed by getting up on time this morning to do garage runs for MOT/service stuff. I have come home to the news that DS is planning a film marathon sleep-over with friends and also friends-of-friends. DH has helpfully referred him to me: 'Talk to your mother'. double- Needless to say, DS has not talked to me about it. He has barely acknowledged my existence, due to me not being on the end of his headset.

I am now highly suspicious off all Northern Lights sightings, which isn't to say that I'm not rather keen to see them myself, but it's all well and good on the camera, but what could you see with your actual eyes?

I read something about the Australian breakdancer and her performance being a calculated decision in protest at cultural appropriation and and regulation of an activity which is based on free expression and whatnot. Though I haven't looked into it any further, so I've no idea if that's what was really going on.

Hopefully all the attention for your rear end is useful though Wicked, and there is a plan of action from the Dr etc?

Still hot here, and breezy. Feel free to send the rain this way LetUs. As ever this summer.

<plonks all wenches on sun loungers to relax>

Afternoon. No sun loungers here, it’s been chucking it down all day but it doesn’t matter. I’ve been doing some knitting that I started ages ago and trying to pick up my thought process from then. DH is wandering around with a tin of paint and a tube of filler looking for things that aren’t quite right. He’s a perfectionist but that’s alright as I am too but not quite as extreme as him.

No Northern Lights last night but I know what you mean about the camera enhancing them Helen.

at OnlyFans account WW. Hope everything’s alright.

And here - this pops up on my facebook feed.

Evening wenches.

Boooo to rain Apricot but hurrah for knitting! MrA wandering about with a tin of paint and tube of filler sounds ace

We had rain allllllll day and plenty of it.

<hands eyes back to Helen> these seem to have rolled all the way from where you are Helen.

Morning wenches.

It’s Friday and we have sunshine! Yaaaaayyyyyy!

That’s about it really.

Have great days wenches.

Happy lunchtime! I had a bit of a late start and rather fell out of bed and into work.

We had 4mm rain overnight! Quelle excitement. Now back to sunshine.

Have we had that conversation about painfully dry eyes? I'm getting it a lot at the moment, it wakes me up sometimes (last night, despite eye drops at bed time) and it's horrible. Whinge, whinge etc.

Afternoon. Lovely day, but it’s clouded over now. We haven’t done much but it doesn’t matter.

Yes, yes, yes to the dry eyes Helen. I wake up in the night and they’re so sore I can’t open them for about 10 minutes. I haven’t tried any drops, but when I get round to making an optician appointment I’ll ask about it. Ooooooh, just noticed there’s an advert for Specsavers over there ➡️ We really are being watched.

Have a good evening all.

Tin hats! Get some moisturising eye drops at least Apricot. My optician also told me to put a warm compress over my eyes to help produce more oily tears which help keep your eyes lubricated/stop the eyes drying out. Or gel rather than eye drops are a thing, or spray. I'm making a concerted effort!

Evening wenches.

Dry itchy eyes? Yep. I’ve used eye spray and one of those eye masks with the gel beads in it that you put in the microwave to heat it up. Really recommend the heatable eye mask.

No rain! Hurrah!

We haven’t done much but it doesn’t matter - absolutely love it.

Oh look the premier league has started again. Oh how I have missed DS2 and DH shouting at the tv/each other for the duration of a match. Really. So much. Nearly put me off knitting my food treats for Santa and Rudolph.

Morning wenches.

It’s not raining! Again! Usual Saturday ahead with added evening out of food and drink at friends’ house where we go every year and it’s the same people but I can never remember anyone’s names. Friends are excellent cooks and one of their children has a huge talent for desserts so I may not fit through the door when I get home.

Have super days wenches.

Morning all. Sunny here too and we have a local village fete to go to, though DH is feeling rough, so maybe not. Who knows.

Have a good day all. I'll put a winch on standby for you LetUs

Afternoon

Rather a pleasant day here - shame I'm stuck inside catching up on work from the week. More parent-related phone calls (the long awaited diagnosis has finally been given) - I appreciate not being interrupted during my time off, but calls in my working week mean I have to make up time out of work hours - and then one evening DD had another seizure & wanted me to pick her up from her work. We had a rather late night, so I wasn't very productive the following day! She looked a lot better after a good long sleep & I'm hoping she'll be here again this evening - fish & chips & crap tv

Hope all of the appointments will result in some positive outcome ww

We did finally get some rain letus, but I still feel you're hogging most of it Have a lovely meal this evening

Interesting pics re the Northern Lights helen - makes me feel less bad about going out to see them!

Doing nothing - sounds bliss apricot - cats spend most of their lives doing exactly that & look pretty happy <side-eyes sunbathing cats>

Afternoon. Nice day but more cloudy than yesterday.

I’ll try something for my eyes. I have a tendency to just put up with things which is silly really. I’ve had neuropathy in my feet for 10 years and haven’t done anything about it.

I thought roughly the same about the football LetUs. <sigh>

<cwtch> Fancy, hope your DD and DF are alright.

We’re coming home tomorrow. We’re running out of everything; we’ve done a small food shop but everything’s twice the price here. There aren’t any of the big supermarkets, the nearest one is 10 miles away. We didn’t intend to stay this long but as DD&Co have been abroad, we haven’t been on child-minding duties.

Have a good evening all.

Evening all. It's been warm and sunny all day, but not hot. So quite pleasant really. Though I left the washing out too long this evening and it went damp again.

DH is much better today and went to local village fete for a mooch with me, so that was good. He's talking about going to help at SportingActivity tomorrow.

So today has been fete set-up and break-down, plus cooking and catching but with family. So that was nice.

Evening wenches.

<mega hugs for Fancy> that’s a lot in a week

in fact hugs all round. In case you can’t tell, I’m a teensy bit tipsy. Also much food.

<faceplants on bar>

Morning wenches.

You’d have thought walking it home last night would have helped with calf and foot cramps overnight. Not a bit of it.

Anyway is cloudy but dry and there’s a standard Sunday ahead which is fine by me.

Have lovely days wenches.

Morning all. Love a tipsy LetUs
We have hazy sun, and I have no plans.

Evening wenches.

Usual Sunday with the addition just now of sewing together a knitted dinosaur. Stegosaurus if you’re interested. Have watched many episodes of Murder, She Wrote. I have promised to play a football board game sort of thing with DS2 and DH.

Oooh, knitted steggy! Hope that's going well. Also the football board game <supresses yawn>

I've had a day of tidying/hoovering/gardening general stuff. Have also finally got DS to look at pre-enrollment stuff for college - it's like drawing teeth.

Also, it's still very warm. How is it Monday tomorrow

Morning wenches.

I’ll do a swap Helen. Some of our rain for some of your warm.

The football game was indeed very yawny.

Today is Monday unfortunately but I have Thursday and Friday booked off so hurrah!

Have great days wenches.

Morning all. Today's exciting discovery it that IntelligentCat has hairballed down the sofa at some point overnight. Urgh. In insult to injury, I'd just hoovered loads of cat hair off it, and it I had't done that, then it would't have soaked in as much. <le enormous sigh>

Happy monday, etc...

Afternoon. We got back yesterday evening with no traffic problems until 100yds from home when we were stuck in a huge three-way temporary lights queue due to a large hole dug up by the water company opposite the entrance to our road. They’ve been there for weeks, no idea what they’re doing. 😡

Today I’ve been dealing with a mountain of washing, visiting DD for a catch-up and doing a Sainsbury shop. It’s cold.

Aww at knitted dinosaur.

Sympathy with the hairball Helen. Misty doesn’t seem to have hairballs but she sometimes eats too much too fast and her stomach says no and chucks some of it back.
