En franglais, in English .... open to all women for company, fun and fabulous artworks. Leave unwanted reality in the porch and come along in.

How about Kaiqué, pronounced Gâteau 🤔

Oh, that's good.

I have to say I'm enjoying the Bluestocking autumn children's (no children required) menu.

It's very pleasing

Many, many years ago I had a summer job in the poshest hotel in our small town, which really isn't saying a lot.

The most popular starter was prawn cocktail with Marie Rose sauce (equal parts tomato ketchup and salad cream) and the most popular dessert was Black Forest gateau.

The stories I could tell you about that place, you honestly wouldn't believe them.

Yeah, I would, I once worked in a holiday camp....

This just came up on my FB feed. I'd not seen it before.

EdithStourton · 23/09/2024 17:54

Gah! Try again (am drinking gin).

My father in law is convinced that Marie Rose sauce is a special thing. He won't have it that it's just a mixture of ketchup and either mayo or salad cream. I feel justified now!

Coming right up!

We really need to get that gerbil trained out of standing on the tray!

Is this better?

Magpiecomplex · 23/09/2024 18:11

Well, I suppose it's not standing on a tray. I daresay standing on the saucer may be considered a slightly retrograde step, if anything!

Boiledbeetle · 23/09/2024 18:14

I personally find the odd gerbil hair adds to the unique flavour only found in items at the Bluestocking!

But thanks for the tea x

I think there has to be a bit of cross-species give & take. I mean, the little guys work so hard for us before they head back to their own bar for some well-earned R&R.

Has anyone seen the shoal of piranhas at the London Aquarium? Those gerbils remind me of the way the piranhas just sit, motionless, all pointing in the same direction.

Of course they do! Such wonderful little guys.

Oh, thanks for the reminder Beetle. It's my birthday soon. I might treat myself to something from Grimut's.

Well, that's another image that seems easy & obvious to a human, but...
