Bluestocking - the second leg

[ErrolTheDragon]

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

Welcome all women, and well behaved animals.

Wonderful description of the changing seasons. Made me think about haymaking, as early May seems impossible... I found various articles, instructions by DEFRA not to cut hay until late June, American advice about maximising the yield and the nutrients, discovered that horses can't go more than four hours without feed because that constitutes fasting for a horse, and eventually came across this article

That looks like a lovely article, @inkymoose - I have saved it to read later. We have some proper floodplains near us, knee-deep in water mist winters.

In other news, driving across rural Suffolk this morning I happened to pass a van with a sticker on the back saying 'No Tunnocks let in van overnight'.

Clear our reputation is put there and is scary.

😂

I have only just discovered tunnocks snowballs, very sticky & coconut bits everywhere now.

Hobson's choice. Eat slowly to prolong the pleasure or in one mouthful to mitigate mess.

Wonder what they're like after a bit of freezer time, does the mallow go chewy?

How old is 'old lady' territory round here? Age or feeling!! (Here I discovered I'm the same age as Toyah Wilcox! 🤔).

If Mick Jagger and the strolling bones won't 'act their age', why should we? Toyah has toned it down a bit but Cindi Lauper is still bonkers and fair play to her.

Indeed!

“Strolling bones” 😂😂😂

@quantumbutterfly you do your snowballs how you like just make sure they are kept in a locked box if boiled is around!!!

I do a two bite approach to reduce mess

Eat the snowball over a plate. Then you can take your time, and lick a finger to gather up all the coconut afterwards.

I never thought I'd be offering advice on how to eat Tunnocks on the internet!

After a day spent in the puddle of reality pub I've still got all of yesterday's posts in the bluestocking pub to catch up on I'll get on that right n.. ooh snowballs...

<checks no one is looking>

😏

Right must dash, I'll be back later.

This is the approach I've taken, though I need to restock on snowballs to investigate freezer possibilities.

Perhaps I should eat my tunnocks outside, it's a gorgeous autumn day here, the critters can clear up for me.

Most annoyingly, my bosom seems to be a crumb catcher anyone else have that problem?

Those coconut flakes get everywhere!

Have you been rolling in the tunnocks again?

Toyah was on House of Games this week, and it was a bit discombobulating seeing her dressed in something that would to look out of place at a Royal Garden Party.

When I saw that image I immediately heard 🎶'Last Christmas I gave you my heart.' cos you look like something out of the video, Boiled😂

I was thinking beetles don't get dandruff.

We're near to needing to move on again

Oh my! Just caught up! I'm all for a statue of me being on the 4th plinth! I think I should look like mistress of all I survey issuing orders to my minions. But I'd settle for me in a Christmas jumper!!

No physio for me, petrified of re-tearing my spleen to be honest., But also because I'm in bed with an infection (infected port hole!) and antibiotics that are wiping me out! But my sympathies are with you as currently I'm knackered to fatigue levels just getting up to go for a pee!

Have you got a kitchen that smells of boiled cabbage yet? If not get on it!!

knit one purl one

though I never did learn how to turn the heel of a sock

Gone to new thread
Laterrrrrrs!

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5169893-les-bas-bleus-the-bluestocking

Right, quick tidy up. Empty the bins, coral all the animals to the next thread and last one out switch off the lights and lock the door.
