The Crepertoire - put on your peignoir and get into the boudoir

[MrsSchadenfreude]

And out of the armoire.

Went out to kitchen to get G & T in absence of any wine. DH already quaffing one. Did he ask me if I wanted one?

Deliveroo for one. With a side order of 🍷.

Honestly, MrsS, they don't deserve you. Get the take out in and peruse beach holidays for one.

You've done your bit with your dm, MrsS. Nothing more you can do if she insists on being a twit. (I slightly wonder if she says that stuff about her meds to wind you up and then takes them sensibly when you're not there). Hope yr dh had a banging headache all today from slurping all the wine.

In addition to my other S&B transgressions, I have also purchased a bright red swimming costume with a lace-up bit at the front. At best, I probably look like an over-ripe tomato. I don't care. I like it.

Got interrupted by "emergency" call-out from dd. I am now on unscheduled dog walk to unsalubrious local drinking establishment as dd has forgotten her ID and is about to go to Weymuff en masse with all her mates back from uni. Stroppdog v pleased about walk.

banging who (or what)??

Sorry - so busy catching up that last post was a bit redundant!

have been working v v hard - and another loooong day tomorrow. But all good and interesting work.

enjoying catching cup with all that's going on in Crepeyville too!

I can't get over the hopelessness of your lot,
MrsS.

I am feeling profoundly What The Hell Have I Done With My Life and rather sorry for myself sad.

I am full of wine - if I wasn't I probably wouldn't post this:

MrsS - I've never met you but you come over as a massively articulate & intelligent woman & I really don't get why you put up with all the shit you get from your DH.

Sod it - am about to press post

Sorry you are feeling down, MI

Have now handed over ID to dd and Stroppdog is standing soulfully outside the Indian takeaway looking hopeful.

While I am in drunk mode I will say FFS, MI - you also strike me as a capable, articulate & intelligent woman.

Stop the navel gazing - again I have never met you but you seem very capable & switched on to me.

RISE UP CREPEYS!!

EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU IS WONDERFUL IN YOUR OWN SPECIAL WAY!

Positive is the way to go - especially after the best part of a bottle of rose!!

Wish I was standing outside Indian takeaway - have had enuff to drink that a curry would slot down rather well - prolly with a cobra or two!!

In the immortal words of my mother:

"It will be a different story in the morning".

Can people be very quiet tomorrow & hand me coke, bacon sarnies & painkillers, please?

MrsS, that is awful behaviour. Can you book a holiday and leave them to it? I think would tell your dm's GP she thinks she knows better than the pharmacy, and then refuse to discuss her meds.

I now have a streaming cold. But dh kept telling me to go and sit down while he made dinner/washed up. And I rallied briefly for a little impromptu gin tasting mid-afternoon.

Go, Magi, and a virtual bacon sandwich for you tomorrow.

Stroppdog and I are now trotting back home, where I have a glass of Gewuerztraminer waiting for me. I have also just discovered a new Thai restaurant that does a Sunday buffet lunch. I know where I'm going tomorrow.

Put the water and the headache tabs on the bedside table, MM

Have drunk water, taken nurofen & am off to bed.

Might see you all tomorrow.................

Am wondering about the necessity of strategically positioning Brian at the bottom of the stairs for dd, as I suspect she is slightly too overwrought to be on the piss with (apparently) everyone she has ever known in school. She came out of the pub saying "it's OK, x has just bought me a drink." x's name rings a vague bell... "Oh you know, the one who stabbed me with a pencil in year 7." oh yeah. Him.

DH has just produced chicken dhansak. In just under two hours. At least it tasted good unlike his last curry. DDs now clearing table and tidying kitchen. And making tea and producing cake.

Have been perusing flights to Rio where one of my GBFs lives...

Do they want medals, Mrs S? You know my views on your DH and family.

Marty Pash was a triumph. Had the most amazing orchestra, and I thought I'd burst with emotion during one aria which featured two solo violins playing the most heartbreaking duet with great expertise and passion by two rather comely young gentlemen. And there was a viol!

Yariba! Mrs S and erm, MM . Book the flight I tell you! If you don't , when will be the next time you'll be able to go? you'll regret it. I am glad for minor redemption bid by the Shadenfamily. But dh is on the reserve bench I reckon.
Talking of which, Cloud how are you?

I promise to whisper in the morning.

The top of the morning to you all, says she from her bed. The cherry tree I can see out of the window is covered in beautiful pale pink blossom. The sun is shining, and I don't have a headache as I seem to have given up alcohol (I hope Brian hasn't been in use, and that the painkillers have kicked in).

Back to weeding the paths this morning, with a break to visit DD who has her in laws staying.

I had a large glass of water & 2 neurofen before bed & I feel fine this morning - I am amazed!

Magi

I have no headache, since I did not over-indulge, and am going to take advantage of the sunshine today. Im some trivial way, possibly just sitting in our garden.

It is wonderful, isn't it Herbs? A string of masterpieces, some of the most moving music I've ever heard, let alone sung. I get to sing it again on Good Friday, this time in English, with DH singing & DD playing the violin.

I'm having a strange time; full of vivid & sad recollections of last year, feeling cut off from my sibs, still poorly much of the time & scared. But DD, having adored Paris, has got thoroughly stuck in to her work & I'm v proud of her.

Going to cook, play lots of music & walk in our beautiful woods for distraction.
