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

Can it be deliberate that Jeff Goldblum is wearing Suffragette colours in his buttonhole at the Oscars?

Ha ha Android- there's a look of the long lost sequel to Alice in Wonderland in those pictures!

Myrtle good luck this morning. If I was interviewing you, you'd be an absolute certainty. Just imagine those interviewers as puffins. 😀 x

Thank you everyone and especially the cheerleading gerbils and friends.

It went really well and it's likely I will be one of five invited to the next round of interviews. I will find out on Wednesday.

DH and I will drink prosecco tonight.

Hurray, Myrtle.

Fingers crossed for good news on Wednesday, and beyond.

🥂

Well done myrtle. Sounds like an excellent interview.

That's great, Myrtle, well done👏

Well done, Myrtle!

JK Rowling's super yacht spotted in Jersey harbour - Bailiwick Express

Onwards and upwards, Myrtle!

Excellent update, Myrtle.

Ahh that explains the absence of boiled, hope she is having a good time lol

I'd love to know the source for "reportedly owned by Harry Potter author JK Rowling".

Android Puffi-gerbs say GO! 🦁

Gosh he's suffragette all over!

Yeah me too. Doesn't seem something she would do does it? Luxury super yacht

JKR has a superyacht?? Say it ain't so, Jo! Unless it runs on recycled cooking oil or magic or something...🙁

They're not the US suffragette colours though, so it may be a happy coincidence. Tbh with two of the colours being green and white, two thirds of the colours are very likely to show up.

I don't know why I typed Wednesday when it will be Friday.😂

Didn't get an interview for the interim position and there will be no feedback. It's disappointing but at least I'm not faced with getting that and losing the permanent role then having to job hunt again later this year.

So the Bailiwick Express links to a site called SuperyachtFan which says of the vessel under the heading "Ownership" "Originally owned by Eric Smidt, later by Brett Blundy, and we were told the yacht was later sold to J.K. Rowling and renamed SAMSARA".

The site has other stories saying JK Rowling is the owner.

The Samsara flies a red ensign, so must be registered in one of the following: the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies (Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey) or the UK Overseas Territories (Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, St Helena and the Turks & Caicos Islands).

If anyone fancies trawling through the shipping registers if that lot...

Isn't this more JKR's style?

Fingers heavily crossed for you for Friday, @MyrtleLion . Makes typing awkward, mind you.

Not gonna lie, I initially read 'butthole'. Glad there was a picture😄

I saw the Scottish Wildlife Trust story and immediately thought it might be JKR. Very generous donation whoever it was.

I’m imagining he spent some time in England fairly recently, though, while filming Wickeds 1 & 2?

I initially put that in my original draft, but deleted it as my posts tend to be too long.

I love long posts and I don't think anyone should apologise for them. If others find them problematic then they should keep their opinions to themselves and not comment on this issue.
