Autumn leaves, crackling fires, quokkas and puffins at the Bluestocking.

A new thread - with apologies to the gerbils for leaving them out of the title.

Gerbils are currently performing their interpretive dance routine about the gunpowder plot!

Love it, Alison.

I do love it!

There are 4 spots inside that need reglazing so will just use it and bung 4 dots of fresh glaze on it and refire it when I next do a glaze fire but yes, my morning coffees will be in this mug for a while.

Great mug shot Alison!

Awesome mugshot.

The gunpowder interpretive dance though, what are those wee things on the floor? Matches? Maggots?

🫣

Bold, brilliant, unique. So good!

It's like android says. The AI has lost the plot!

Most of the gerbils are busy this evening having rented themselves out as support animals for those scared of bonfire night election night.

(Although in the end one of the gerbils needed its own support puppy)

The remaining gerbils were forced at short notice to improvise with wet toilet roll.

AMERICA'S ELECTION NIGHT/ End of Days (according to copilot) "near Milton Keynes, UK" -
Gerbil: what's going on out there in the world, puffin?
Puffin: no idea mate. Have a tea cake and don't give it another thought.

Love it, Inky! That's captures the zeitgeist perfectly

It also captures Milton Keynes quite well! 🤣

I just wandered into the gerbil rehearsal room. (Its a very busy night for the gerbils)

They are practising their election results routine

Meanwhile the quokkas have been at the sherry and they have chosen to do a gangnam style routine to mark the occasion!

It's great, but surely you should be drinking tea out of it, as per the photo?

.

It's been nice knowing you all.

is there any chance you can do a post with all the photos of the stages attached, assuming you've still got them on your phone? (otherwise I'm going to have to trawl to find you posts with the photos), so we can appreciate the full process?

Pretty please!

Can't stand tea. Bleurgh. I went off it in the 70s. My horrid stepfather used to have it as strong as it could be, with evaporated milk. Even the smell...eugh.

Will do, once I'm back on my phone later.

Ugh! That should be outlawed. It's a crime against tea. sips her Earl Grey decaff & tries to ignore builders dropping things past the window

Just found this lovely & slightly surreal thread:

sighs, stops displacement activity & wanders away to unload dishwasher

Thank you for that much-needed laugh! I love surreal daftness.

Mrs Pig's bikini. Have you seen a sow's nipples? Have you? She'd need more than one top.

😂x100!

That's 3 cups/vessels containing hot drinks, and a coffee pot... you must be very thirsty, android
