Forget I mentioned potatoes then. Sorry😬

You're a soil scientist aren't you magpie? There's definitely some soil work going on here ...

I feel myself channeling Ian Malcolm here Inky.
"You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should."

Plant and soil. Hence the spud awareness!

It was a great idea! I was looking forward to that mash.

I broke the AI last night. I asked it to do too many things (as usual) and it crashed and refused to play anymore.

The pictures you can see here have disappeared from my "my images" section on the AI and they are only in my photos. It's as though they never existed 🫢

Inky i love those pics because of course i am in them …..

But, if it insists on giving us Union Jacks, could we have some EU flags as well, it would seem less threatening.

Just popped up to fumigate the premises, after helping Android in the lab. It became quite toxic, so Android sent me upstairs while she put on a gas mask and then a full body suit.

Having seen the warning about potatoes and tribbles, I think there's time to stop the experiments...

These are fabulously frightening!

Also, I'm with Deano on the union jacks. I don't really know how to get rid of them (as with tribbles) 😳

Is that Marie Curie helping Android with the merbling of potatlees? 🤔

No, that's me!

I think the crisis has passed for now. They've started experimenting making Tribble crisps (inspired by the concept of merbled potatlees).

Found another picture of you Myrtle, having a little carol singalong in the lab.

Merbling potatlees is a traditional android pastime on NYE. Also being in two places at once. This year I'm in Winnipeg & also at the Bluestocking, I see.

Note to the AI: this is NOT a blackbird. Will you please learn what a blackbird is, so that we can include Dr B in our illustrations of everyday life at the Bluey.

Errol and I discovered a mutual love of Underneath The Tree. And then that moved on to Little Donkey. And then Android heard and came to shush me and then the Tribbotato fiasco started. I'm sure distracting Android didn't cause the fiasco, but Android did mutter something about me being me trouble than I'm worth.

I was only trying to help!

I would never say anything like that about you, Myrtle. You're my best mate, you are. Android slips under table but continues... Remember that pub crawl we went on last New Year's Eve?

.

What a night that was! I hope the fireworks are as good this year.

It is green.

Is that Aldebaran whisky? I'm not sure that's wise.

Potentially we are looking at a new year and a new thread, who is offering to be in charge of that?

Isss too late now, me old Deano. Join us, me an Myrtle.

I think I'll stick with the synthehol for now, thanks all the same.

Is that me, or just some cake. If it's just some cake then I'll be along shortly.

Waves away with hand No, doesn't matter. Justine will see to it, she's good like that. Or JKR - very public-spirited lady. raises glass of Aldebaran whisky TO JUSTINE! knocks back glassful, beckons bar gerbil over with more To JKR God bless her! drinks, empties glass Ooh dear, I don't feel well. falls on floor
