Roll up, Ladies and Gentlecreatures, the Bluestocking has been redecorated

[DeanElderberry]

Here for your delight and delectation is the hostelry by, for, and about wise, intelligent, creative and kind women, their assorted avatars including (but not limited to) a remarkable beetle, an astute android, a wise cake, and an assembly of companion creatures and animal assistants.

Food and drink available in abundance, all with remarkable non-damaging qualities.

Males may congregate in the nearby Staunch Ally and sometimes visit the stableyard to view outdoor performances by the gerbil waitstaff (who need to be distracted after the moment after that terrible 'misunderstanding' about the meaning of safe sex).

last thread here if you need to know why the Quokkas need some extra cuddles, and why the Cabybaras are being particularly efficient just now

i always use the rodent emojis for gerbils 🐁but do feel the lack of some other important features of the Bluestocking.At least there's a beetle. 🐞

I can’t do AI pictures but here’s a dragon.

It's the flag of The Bull from the Archers. I gave up listening a while ago, which unfortunately meant also quitting following the archers threads which were better than the series tbh.
Pretty sure we have Shires on tap in our bar though.

I read summaries of The Archers on another site every day and only listen if an episode sounds particularly interesting.

A clue to the alternative site is that the off-topic thread on The Archers board is called The Slaughtered Lamb.

Are you ready for a Spring holiday at the seaside, @FuzzyPuffling?

(This post will make more sense when the photo is revealed)

Oooh Glad, I should say so.
I miss Yorkshire a lot, so am very likely to be First Puffin Home.

Best AI could do, after multiple even more ludicrous attempts...

Hi all back from spending time with grand baby number three and number one hectic noisy and fun.

Lit a fire am drinking a glass of wine and the silence is deafening!

Will go to bed in the full knowledge i will not be up at 6am ready to play trains or some other such challenge when half asleep.

The AI was happier with dragons.

Aw. Tired but happy.

Seeing the St David's Day posts reminded me of pix from another year & I've tracked them down. Apparently this was Cher - is she Welsh?

Looking at it again, I have my doubts about that cheerleader bottom right.😱

This Cher is indeed Welsh.

Thank you for the various cheerleaders. I feel properly bolstered!

I'll let you know how it goes.

I hope I'm not too late to wish you the best Myrtle.🤞

Fingers crossed for you Myrtle, guardian angel will be deployed.

It's not too late for good wishes. I'm watching Pottery Throw Down while browsing MN. I'll go to bed around 10.30 then I'll be back as soon after 10am as I can.

Good luck Myrtle will wake up thinking of you

Good luck Myrtle, I'm not going to do the snarling lioness GIF again, too much of a good thing, etc., but channel her spirit tomorrow!

@MyrtleLion I shall be waving pompoms with the gerbils and lionesses, silently, out of sight and probably out of time, but with great enthusiasm.

MyrtleLion, MyrtleLion, roar, roar, roar!

All the best!

I want to see an AI pic of all the usual.suspects waving pompoms for Myrtle.
It would be like Hallucogenics at the Zoo.

I asked for a puffin, but no. Sorry!

Here you go, Puffers.

I will be sending lots and lots of good thoughts, @MyrtleLion! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
