Yes, probably waterproofs to protect against violent sneezes is the main thing. No gerbil needs snotty fur.

The gerbils forgot about Catherine, but here she is on the tree now.

What you need is a quokka nurse - they're fearless. Or an android nurse, of course. Neither of them needs a hazmat suit.

Get well soon.

Why was that quokka dressed like Bruce Lee?

Hazmat suit, or Gemini's attempt at one...

Catherine looks deceptively soft, fizzy and gentle on the tree. Not the type to bite a finger. I suppose that’s how she manages to do so, lulls you into thinking she only has your best interests at heart.

Do the Bluestocking’s magical powers of recuperation work in the stockroom?

That chicken soup isn't... er... very nice-looking, either.

I tried - mine are all kinds of wrong, too. FOOD HYGIENE, you quokkas!

One of those appears to be gerbil soup.

It's just having a little swim.

I hope it isn't washing its snotty fur.

Can somebody bring Boily a box of tissues, please? She's been wiping her nose on the baby quokkas again!

Oh, and a new bowl of soup.

Thanks all. Mmm nice soup.

Oh crap.

I'm obviously highly contagious.

That quokka should really have worn a hood on that hazmat suit when delivering the soup.

Both the gerbil and quokka staff seem susceptible to my germs!

There appears to be some horrifying side effects, I'm all fuzzy, one of the gerbils has grown a carapace (obviously I wasn't hallucinating at the end of the last thread,there really was a gerbil beetle sat watching me)

We need to hire some agency Capybaras to stand in for the sick gerbils and quokkas

If you've got a temperature I suspect you'll soon have a nice comforter of cats. They always like to curl up on something warm.

otoh there is a well-known cold cure that involves putting a candle somewhere in view of the bed, lighting it, drinking hot whiskeys until you see two candles, then going to sleep for 24 hours.

You're all "fuzzy"???
Well, welcome to my world! 😁😁

Deffo delirious. Boily, my dear, you are NOT turning into a gerbeetle. Your beloved old school was NOT called 'Chicken Soup'. No-one has yet invented 'Plaisings' the tissue for each nostril.

Boily? Boily, can you hear me? Boily? NURSE!!!!

<pauses to wipe tears of laughter from eyes>
gosh you lot are on top form today!

It all started with Magpie's hazmat- [well not quite..]suited quokka bearing a bowl of soup.

The more accurate these images are, the funnier they are I think- it is a perfect, very caring-looking quokka, the suit and the bowl are clearly drawn, the soup - ok the soup is odd but also well drawn.

A totally convincing visual image of a sympathetic furry animal in protective gear carrying a bowl of soup, so the cognitive dissonance washilarious, and started the laughing-out-loud which then continued brilliantly!

Thank you O Clever Ones

Crafty Corner - my fingers strayed dangerously close to the K key there
I've just made these..objets - they could be Xmas tree decos, I didn't have a teleology in mind, I was just experimenting with cookie cutters, letter stamps, and cheap air-drying modelling stuff for kids - weird stuff, I won't use it again, but it comes in lots of colours and it is practically indestructible and as light as a feather - hey maybe they should make brightly-coloured aircraft out of it

And...breathe - I just realised that those 6 lines are all one sentence, sort-of.
I think I'm still giddy from laughing at your funny healthcare professionals!

What excellent objets, Marie! I envision them as ceramic-esque room scent holdery things. There's probably a word for them but you get my drift - something you can drip perfume onto that will then release it very gently into the atmosphere as a kind of DIY air freshener. Boily could probably do with a couple infused with Olbas oil.

Thank you !
As it was my first effort with this modelling stuff, I used my least favourite colour, and I agree- it should smell of lavender.
The texture is more hard foam than clay, it's weird stuff.

As said, I won't be using it again but I have half a dozen more colours to use up, maybe I could craft a little vessel to hold Olbas Oil for Boily - to be carried to her ceremoniously by a solemn procession of Quokkas wearing Grecian robes..

Now I wonder what that might look like.....🤔
😄

Boily is looking particularly majestic here!

Could you marble or stripe purple, white & green? I think they look great. You could make hundreds of them & hang them close together on a gallery wall like a curtain. There really needs to be an exhibition of T!!! art one day.

Absolutely! But why are the quokkas wearing togas?

Closest the AI could get to Grecian robes! I didn't want to try again in case it just got worse.

They're himations.

LOL - I was going to suggest that at the Bluey they must be herations, when I checked it via google & found this:

I love the 'vaginizer'.

(Why are the quokkas in Greek robes, then?)
