Swagger Inn 180 - Spring is here and we witter on...

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

New thread open for reports on local wildlife, the weather, gardening and domestic chores. Plus the never ending hunt for HBFs who stubbornly fail to materialise.

Evening wenches.

Hurrah for passed MOT and hurrah for yarn! Booooo to rain (but not too much booing as we don’t want it to bugger off again).

Flipping windy here. Was having a quick read about bullying in the workplace (not involving me or NC, but a very lovely younger colleague who’s thankfully very confident) and gosh it’s like they’d been to my workplace and taken notes.

Am making a little dragon for BestFriend which I’d hoped to have done for tomorrow but it’s taking longer than expected. No massive rush for it.

Evening all. Safely home again, dealing with freelance SNAFUs on route.

London was large and busy and fun, and there's a lovely collection of elephant sculptures outside Spitalfields Market, where the Hotel Chocolate shop sells chocolate liqueur drinks to take away, but not actual hot chocolate. WTF Hotel Chocolate?! Still, that saved me some money! It fortunately stayed dry after the downpour this morning.

Currently being put in my place by Slinky - my place being on the sofa, acting as a cat bed I should really go to bed though - last night was very late.

Morning wenches.

Just add the hot chocolate thing to the list of things that don’t make sense. Visit overall sounds enjoyable so hurrah! You didn’t think you’d be allowed to just sit on your own did you Helen?

Errands to run in town. DS2 said he’ll come with me although I have warned him I’m setting off before 9. Then meeting BestFriend. Suppose some housework will be done at some point.

Have super days wenches.

Morning
Glad the journey went well apricot and I hope Wales is drier and less windy for the weekend!

Which Wimsey are you listening to letus? I have a soft spot for those books?

Yay for friend turning up and trip going well Helen, fingers crossed you get a relaxing weekend now.

Rather a crap week here - after all the cat vom on Tuesday, Wednesday brought a god-awful headache and a bit more cat vom and then after I de-flead the cats Chonk took off and hasn't been since since 😢

Afternoon. Cloudy this morning but it’s gone sunny and quite hot now. I’ve been sitting outside sudokuing. I’ve also done some knitting but that’s about it. We’re going out for a meal later.

Oh Fancy I hope Chonk has come back, what a worry.

Have a nice evening all.

Evening wenches.

Hope Chonk’s home Fancy, currently being fussed over if that is allowed.

The Wimsey is The Five Red Herrings on BBC Sounds. Scotland and artists and bicycles.

Sudoku and knitting and then a meal out sounds a rather splendid way to spend the day Apricot.

Lovely meet up with BestFriend. Finished the tiny dragon this afternoon but there’s no rush to give it to her.

Am watching a programme about The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I remember buying a copy on video back in the day 😁

Evening all.

Massive <cwtch> for Fancy and missing Chonk I hope he turns up soon, if not already.

Today I've been out helping at a local history event, and then into the city for a gig. DS and GF have gone out clubbing with friends. They're getting a lift home again, so I have to pick them up between 2-2:30.

I'm debating whether to just got to bed and set an alarm to wake up again.

It's been mostly warm and sunny today. I'm imagining the tiny dragon taking flight now and disappearing into the sky to live its best life. DH has been watching a Rocky Horror documentary - probably the same one LetUs - is that the one where they talk about Susan Sarandon coming along to an interview to help a friend read for a part?

Morning wenches.

That’s the one Helen. Really enjoyed it. <watches tiny dragon circling around>

Flapjacks would be in the oven except it generally helps if you turn the oven on. Muppet. I’ll get going with the ironing soon. Feel like I’m running behind already.

Have lovely days wenches.

Afternoon all. Bit of a lie-in today after picking up DS and GF at 2:30am, but I'm really not sure where the day has gone so far Stepper and cooking breakfast, bit of windfall-picking. Oh, a bit of local history research too.

Ah well - have a good day all.
