Summertime...and the Crepeys are easy

[motherinferior]

With much love to BD.

(We are going to county cork btw in frugal manner.)

I didn't know there was a third Gerard Woodward GGG I loved the other two. Cats, camping such strong images.

Good wishes to all follicles. Here we have had DD2s first free range outing yesterday with a friend. I told her not to come back from the park 'til at least three pm'... so loving. She came back with false nails and sweets.

DD2 is off to the seaside on Thurs to see her Pokémon Go-beau. His fave book is Hitchhikers Guide, which delights me.

Crem, you evoked the starry beach beautifully. Sorry you're saying goodbye to the house.

Have caught up on post Wales washing and cat has forgiven us for being away.

There's a museum in Brighton?

There h's been some sort of photo shoot at our villas, involving about 8 Vietnamese women in traditional dress around the very pretry garden/pool, etc. I reckon it's a hen night.

WAF, don't forget we have appropriate blue shirts for you.

My nice news for today is that one of my favourite novelists likes the chunk of rewrite that I sent her. Am feeling thoroughly heartened.

Oh - good news MI - I'm looking forward to when this is published and I can say I know a famous novelist . Love your bookshelves!

WAF - false nails at the park?

DS has emerged at 11.25 French time. He has set out conditions for his walk in terms of route and distance. I am in agreement so off we go.

If you like GW WAF there is more from him which is good - Nourishment set Inn WW2 would also appeal to you Herbs if you like Sarah Walters The Paying Guests etc (but I don't think there's any lessons action in GW!).

BTW my mum is in hospital with a chest infection. She's old but not previously very frail. She's.... difficult (and no doubt would say worse than that about me). We've had a very distant and poor relationship for many many years and little contact so it's not straightforward.

Bloody phone cleaning up my posts! LESBO action not lessons...

BTM not BTW.

Hurrah and v well done MI!

Ah GGG. So many of us with fucked up relationships with parents. In that case, I'd wait till she summons you.

The photo shoot is still ongoing with many outfit changes. And my bikini bottoms are lost at the laundry

Rudy I know how you feel, but you are there and posting so that is important!

NU - memorial on Saturday. She was cremated yesterday - a very weird day all round.

GGG in your circs I'd wait to be called. Families hey.,.,,

BTM - excuse to buy a new one?

BD, I bought a new one to take on hol but have had to pass it to DD - the top was ok but bottoms clearly size 6-8 She looks great in it!
Vietnamese women are tiny and I don't think the go up to XXX

Oh BD. When can we rally round with dark and stormies?

Dark and Stormies Friday? Coming down Thursday night - will spend Friday making sure ddad okay and then can escape late afternoon for a meet up?

I will be working near Maidstone on Friday afternoon and there's a train strike, so I probably won't be able to get up to the smoke before early evening.

Well done on the rewrite, MI, brilliant news. I do like the sound of Poldarkian wish fulfilment. I'm afraid I can't commit to Friday although it seems ages since I've been to an MU and I would very much like to offer my support, BD. You'll probably be feeling both shell-shocked and spaced out if you are anything like me. I'll see what I can do.

Well played, MI. How very life-affirming.

Hello Crepeys,
So sorry BD that you are stuck in a kind of grey limbo. Hope that some Crepey dark and stormy action is forthcoming.I am sending love.

Wow so many book suggestions, a lot of which I've read, but not all so am taking down a list.if anyone fancies crime genre recommendations I'm your Crepe.
Mrs S - photo taken in Royan by the port, not St P s/m. We were shopping for a birthday present for me.Failed, so drinking rosé in the afternoon like fools yesterday.

Just had a haircut, where the chair you get your hair wash in gives you a massage. Ooh, very nice too.
Hair has been whacked off, having been collar length, is now back to chin length. Not sure I'm delighted , but Dh thinks it's nice. I feel v jowly and see my dads Crepey chin taking shape upon me
Grr. Sorry about others hair thinning. It must be genetic as none here; also dps both have lush hair and ddad is nearly 90.
Herbs, glad you are on the case. MI , wünderbar that your writing has been admired- well done you.Beachy sorry ds is a worry just now. It must be incredibly confusing to be a 15year old boy. I am sure this too will pass for him. Roast, I wish dsis and I could afford to buy the place, but we are both urchins and paupers. And DM needs the money to sustain lifestyle to which she has become accustomed .
Molly, can't wait to exchange Musketeers for Poldark. Do love a bit of swash. GGG I know what you mean about your own bed and a mug of tea. I too, am an old gimmmer officially from tomorrow

Tonight is a Nuit Blanche and 1000 candles. The village will be candlelit, including the beach, and people will waft about in white clothing. Dh is being a refunik about this. Meh! What can you do? It's his business if he wants to look like a tube.

Tomorrow, Crem?

Sounds lovely, Cremo.I remember Royan from our camping trips (and the crepes) but I don't recall every having seen that.

Just seen a Mirror headline on fb and apparently it's going to be 35 degrees in the UK from Friday!

Just nipping on to wish Crem a very happy birthday - it is today, isn't it? Hope I have read that right. Hope the sun shines for you and that you have a marvellous day. Much love xx

Kids off with the nanny today while I wait in for new dishwasher. Hope to be back later for proper catch up.

Happy birthday Crem!

Welcome to the wonderful world of the over 50s, Cremo!

Happy Birthday Crem x
