Facemasks on for a trip to the Bluestocking

[CaraDuneRedux]

We haven't had a Bluestocking thread for fucking ages.

Anyone fancy a socially distanced, tables of no more than 6, Bluestocking?

The goat has been covid tested and the patriarchy busting canon polished up to remove all possible virus traces from its surface.

Remember, MN spans the globe, and it's always before the 10pm curfew somewhere.

I have a strange affliction. My eyes keep rolling and can't stop. It's been happening all day.

Does the Bluestocking have a drink that could cure such a peculiar affliction? If so, I shan't say another word. I will just sit silently and drink the healing nectar.

If such a nectar exists, of course.

Oh no, I'm the 7th.

Is that while you are looking at your device? Does it look like this ?

I took Orwell's 'Ninety Eighty Four' off my bookshelf this afternoon and meant to bring it with me.

That's it, YouNoob. Exactly that.

It is while I'm looking at my device. Perhaps that's the problem.

I didn't look at mumsnet for over 12 hours and I don't think I'll ever catch up with events during my absence. Seems to have been a bit hectic.

What a lovely scene. I'll have a solidaritea if anyone's brewing?

Afaik you didn't really miss much.

Rather forlorn and straggling in from the local blizzards.

I'd like a snack with my tea, please. And a side of companionship and repletion.

Thank god the pub is open again!!

Outside for everyone. And . Lots and lots of .

Is it too late for sunlight in the Bluestocking Garden or has snow blotted out the light and landscape?

It's a beautiful sunny evening here, 8°.

It's a bright cold day in April, and the clocks are striking thirteen.

Yes please

Thank God the pub's open!

Mine's a benedictine

With a large cocktail umbrella and a large copy of 1984 or Brave New World, which I shall tear up, jump up and down on and then set fire to while carolling fuck that in cheerful tones. It'll be rather like a dish on the Great British Menu. Theatre.

Evening all. I'm a lurker in need of a stiff drink. Do you do Flaming Lambourghinis by any chance?

Not sure cinnamon — I’m new here myself — but very nice to meet you. I’ll have a pint of whatever real ale is on, and some peanuts, and then I’ll sit over here celebrating my unbirthday, tetchily, and eavesdropping on all the clever women.

Is that the one you get shortly after a Molotov Cocktail, cinnamon? My civil disobedience skills are rusty.

@ErrolTheDragon

Thats what my garden pub is called

Hello all 😀

Welcome cinnamonroll1 and WiseUpJanetWeiss

The barwoman is very accommodating. I reckon she’d do a Flaming Lamborghini.

Now I see your Benedictine MichelleofzeResistance and your peanuts WiseUpJanetWeiss I’m off to order the same for myself.

What a pleasant evening.

Will anyone join me in raising a glass to the OP CaraDuneRedux. Every time I see her name I feel sadness for our loss

Oh no, is Cara gone?

That pint has gone to my head a bit and if we're toasting absent friends I may get maudlin.

Toasting CaraDuneRedux, molesmokes and gardenbird48, recently departed. God, this feels more like a wake than a party.
