Bluestocking - the second leg

[ErrolTheDragon]

The original premises are getting crowded, we need to expand.

Welcome all women, and well behaved animals.

Ou en PA? Nous avons stayed in Gettysburg PA dans une vielle maison pres de la battlefield, et puis une nuit a la maison ou General Lee planned la bataille.

La mere de mon ami a l'ecole (en Angleterre) avait un skunk. On disait a elle que le skunk ne peut plus faire stinkies, mais un jour quelqu'un a frightened le skunk et voila! J'ai visite la maison quelques heures plus tard et il etait encore incroyable😱.

Just as well after that flood.

Who's a good boy, eh, Colin? Who's a clever little chap?

@ifIwerenotanandroid - Exton, a rather nondescript place on route 30 somewhere between Philly and the Amish country.

Ah, we did Amish country too (Intercourse LOL) - it was a mixed holiday, quilts for me & military history for DH. Went to Harrisburg a couple of times too (quilt festival & Civil War Museum). Loved PA.

@ifIwerenotanandroid , thank you for mentioning those programmes pour aider a practice mon francaise.

I tried to get AI to make an image of 2 women watching TV. It can't. Out of 18 images, none has them both looking a TV screen. For this one, I said show one of the women flicking through an English-French dictionary. So it gave her a book on chocolate & 3 legs.

Tu tricotes deux sweaters pour ton mari et il wants encore un autre?

Tu devras spend beaucoup de temps en la groupe tricoteuse de Bluestocking et none a faire la vaisselle. (This phrase is still with me, my school must have decided it was important in the 1960s that girls thought about the washing up.)

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius , it reflects very well on your knitting that so many family members wear your sweaters.

I have a question for Colin - not sure he speaks French so I'll stick to the English:
What did dogs stick their heads out of at great speed before the motorcar was invented??

J'avais aussi oublié que tu devais repasser les morceaux que tu as tricot puis tu les coudes ensemble. Il y a un feu de repassage à la Bluestocking?

Voila le grand-grand-grand-pere de Colin.

Le AI est encore malade...

He's a dog, he never actually spoke at all. And now thanks to MNHQ policy (sensible though it may be) he can't even bark or whine expressively.

Ignoring the fantastical creations of AI, there's this:

What the - ?

But he can look with his soulful little eyes.

Ben Cur...

That's the secret to motivating your chariot horses, a dachshund at their rear and another liable to pee on their heads.

It obviously just doesn't like you today!

Repasser? Un feu de repassage? Qu-est que c’est? Je avoides ca wherever possible.

Je soak mes tricot en l’eau, spin it in a net bag et spread it out flat to dry.

Si c’est lace, je pin it out pour ouvrir les motifs. J’aime beaucoup un heavily blocked piece de lace.

Comme ca.

Your knitting is as fancy as your talking.😍

AI hates me!😥

I am pleased to see those women wearing good jumpers, Boiled.

@JulySheWillFlyAndGiveNoWarningToHerFlight Tu as fait ça? C'est très beau.

C'est toi qui a tricoté ca, July? It's flippin merveilleux!
Les fers de repassage ne sont pas allowed in le Bluestocking, ils sont considerés comme repressive, triggering and un mémoir of exactemment what nous essayons d'oublier there for a bit

Merci Dieu pour ça.
