Old thread.

Are you a gerbil?

Runs in with assorted animals. Phew!

Ah so it's the gerbils that needs the skirts? I appear to be struggling a bit with comprehension this afternoon. I blame a certain Dr Upton for that, amongst other things.

Do you have Colin and Spartacus?

Yes, I have both of them, and an armful of quokkas.
What's this following me? Oh, it's the Giant Wombat.

That was what I intended to mean. Apologies if I confused you, I've been in training all day so the little grey cells have mostly gone into hiding!

Don't mind me I'm just hiding putting the Tunnocks away where nobody anyone can find them.

Good work!

The capybaras and outside livestock will be along shortly.

Giannetta and Gemma and Giulia insist that their friend Fair Geraldine is a gerbil, but I'm not totally convinced.

Face shape right, skirt fairly frouffy, there could be a tail under all that, but somehow . . .

Can someone bring my fence please? I got quite fond of it while I was sitting on it.

They're here!

It's over... oh I see you've found it

Thanks Boily! And indoors in the warmth, too!

I think the capybaras have been mating with the goats and the micro pigs!

It does appear that way. Unless Android has been hard at work in the lab again.

Shit! Has anyone made sure she's not still in the lab? Wouldn't want to lock her in!

Better checked Banned isn't curled up in an empty box somewhere as well.

Ooooh - thank you for the lovely new thread, @Magpiecomplex.

If the gerbils have found their frou frou skirts, and finished the unpacking, please may I have a hot chocolate? I am celebrating good blood test results - my H1AC has dropped from 63mmols, which is definitely diabetic, to 45mmols, which is nearly back to pre-diabetic levels!

Congratulations Woley! At least one gerbil has unpacked, so here's your hot chocolate.

That is the cutest frou frou skirt - we have such classy gerbils! Thank you, @Magpiecomplex.

I have occasionally wondered about getting myself a frou frou skirt like that, but longer, but I think I’d look like a fat version of one of those dolls grannies used to put on their loo rolls!

<Gently places a sleeping Banned next to the fire>

She'll never realise we've changed thread 😁

Well done Woley. That's fabulous news.

Sorry I'm late! I was just organising my new lab. I'll be in the main bar in just a sec, to dance with the gerbils...
