Talk to me about cwtsching and screwing, honey. Er, screwing up.
Gah, Fellas lack logic!
Oh, you're just trying to get me to talk about all my dirty secrets aren't you?
Ok, I think I get it now. I was literally saying "cwtsch" out loud over and over again, even adding a fake British accent. But I think I understand the pronunciation.
#1 son, lawnmower of choice, wasn't home. Our beast of a petrol mower is hard enough for me to control (I snapped the air filter off the first time I used it...), so #2 son wasn't an option either. And the forecast for the rest of the week meant it had to be cut last night, or risk it becoming a full-blown meadow. Personally, I like the number of butterflies we've been getting this summer, but hey, what do I know...?
Eh, it's done now, and my eyes have just about stopped stinging...
Given how much I was sweating last night, HP, I suspect I could have drowned in a gas mask...
LOL, my mistake. As an 'Merican, you can see how I've gotten those confused.
Some people still know how to hold a grudge.
Oh, speaking of gas masks. I still have two of my grandfather's WWII gas masks from his time in service.
Keep them. You may find them worth a few bucks one day soon.
A few of his other WWII stuff is in those boxes as well as papers detailing some of the things he did.

Some do. Some don't. Sweeping gender stereotypes were never my thing...

LOL, probably not - but you can say it in an American Italian voice and the Welsh women will say 'what a cute accent!'
I don't think you are one of that sub-species 'the Fella', Steve! I mean, you do do other things than cut the lawn, don't you. Does lawn cutting have to be a masculine activity in your house?
Tell me about it! and not just here in Wales. In the turmoil of the last local government elections, Mebyon Kernow finally managed to win some seats! (I better not put an English rose in here for you alongside that name, HP.

Ah. I said I don't like sweeping gender stereotypes. I didn't stipulate that is was a unilateral stance...
, but on the upside at least I won't have to watch it with my dad .
LOL, you would be welcomed here as having been formerly colonised too. They will make up any excuse <snerk>. There are cohorts of Ladies who come down from the South Wales Valleys into Cardiff, known as the Valleys Commandos. They come down on a Friday and Saturday night, in their weekend kit, and carry off a man for the weekend back home, ROFL! He gets a lot more than a cwtsch
Haha! Ok, that's another plot bunny to write. Hopefully they don't carry him back kicking and screaming....not to say that's necessarily a bad thing.
Making plans with a buddy from high school I haven't seen in some time. He's coming up this weekend to attend a wedding of one of his friends.
.
Oh, I think there is sometimes a bit of screaming
Oh, you're just finer than frog hair, sugar.I'm not pinning you down too hard, am I, honey...? Or maybe not enough...?

"Are you my Mummy?"
Fresh coffee is always appreciated. I've got some baked goods to share as well.
Good morning, Nakeds. I'm currently going just a bit nuts, preparing for a party tomorrow night.
Oh, you're just finer than frog hair, sugar.
Do you have anything you can take for the allergies? I stock up on Benadryl for times like that. Also, can't you get a mower that is more reasonable to handle?

I'm not hosting, I'm the consultant. Yes, it's a work party! Wish me luck.
I haven't used "finer than frog hair" in a long time. It just came to me and I'm glad you liked it."Finer than frog hair..." Love it.
I take Loratadine, which takes the edge off. I'm limited to non-drowsy medicines because of my commute...
And the lawnmower was a well-meaning gift from the outlaws after I broke our last one - we couldn't afford a replacement then, nor can we now...
Oooh, I'd forgotten that episode... When I wake the house up screaming tonight (and not in a good way), I'm blaming you!
Good luck with the kidlets. Are you feeling any better, shea?
I thought you might, HP. I quite enjoy them, and I made them to be compatible with your eating plan. *hug*
