Welcome to the Bluestocking Arms, the home of good company, excellent drinks and delicious cakes which magically have no irksome contents like gluten or sugar or calories or the kind of alcohol that causes problems - but you wouldn't knowSmile

Food and drink are served by a keen staff of gerbils, and other animals such as capybaras, quokkas, etc., also fulfil vital roles, while looking cute AF.

New Bluestockingers always welcome.

Thank you for the new thread, Myrtle.
I've posted a photo of the interior of the permanent Bluestocking, lots more to follow as it approaches completion.

I'm used to Magpie popping in to visit my back garden, but seeing you there this morning was a pleasant surprise, SionnachSmile And I'm glad you enjoyed a nice long drink out of the pond - I'm sure it was delicious😝

Sorry it's not a great photo, it was taken through a window so as not to frighten the fox away.

if you think you’ve seen me in your garden, check the gerbils haven’t made you mushroom tea.

It turns out one of the quokkas is a high level hacker. I may have accidentally slipped her a tenner to redirect all Tunnock's deliveries to Sainsbury's nationwide to the Bluestocking.

Well done Rosy. Swashy and Bear have to come with bus.

I've got to say Clara's Capybara firm really is a wonderful find. They are just so efficient!

Just loading up the buses. I'm convinced we didn't have this many staff before.

Did all the attendees at the Vegetable Olympics go home? Do we have the resources and the vacancies to support this many?

I think the Bluestocking just expands inside to meet the room requirements of each thread. Eventually the gerbils staff quarters will cover an East wing the size of Switzerland.

Magpiecomplex · 13/06/2025 20:52

Don't forget all the basement levels too. Got to fill them somehow.

Any seagulls?

Boiledbeetle · 13/06/2025 21:21

Seagulls are on their way, they are just having a breather.

The cat is on the ship

I don't know who has Colin

I've been out all evening. Had totally missed that we were so near the end of the thread - too busy thinking about the flet-ness of Norfolk and the nature of Swaffham (there used to be a very good butchers on the market square) while catching up with the thread.

Boiledbeetle · 13/06/2025 21:36

The end of this thread has come around very quickly. I blame the gerbils and their vegetable thingy

Boiledbeetle · 13/06/2025 21:48

Gretal is doing a last check of the pub, I'm concerned though that not all rooms will get checked, but at least some will get checked twice.

Boiledbeetle · 13/06/2025 21:50

I think we are going to need more than one gerbil doing the checks going forward

Boiledbeetle · 13/06/2025 21:51

Everyone out? So I can lock up?

Boiledbeetle · 13/06/2025 21:52

Any stragglers arriving late, we've moved to
