Old thread

Did I ever tell you about the time the local pub went bust, the landlord had a lock in with all his mates to finish up all the beer; only it turned out it was burglars?

How embarrassing!

Nibbles are in my trunk, under lock and key.

I have the goats and the horse with no name

Why Banned, it's almost as if you don't trust certain Bluestockingers with the nibbles. I can't imagine why not...

<Looks both ways> Beatles can be a problem

I know. I had one trying to eat my house on the last thread! 😱

We certainly don’t want any of them here, don’t know if the surviving ones would fit in at the Staunch Ally?

Ringo is already the deity of his own pocket universe

Reporting in - luffly new thread.

I’m off to bed shortly - I’m getting up early tomorrow so we can go down to see the grandchildren. Dh wants to set off at 7.15am - I will be present in body, but will not be speaking in full sentences until somewhere around Carlisle.

Well, here we are.

Ah good, you made it. Last I saw of you on the other thread you said you were out of your depth which is no place for a pirate to be.

Hey

Howzit?

I’ve wandered back to shallower waters.
I think I should be okay now; my neck’s above the water line. Terra a bit firma.

Missing Marie; I see her as the “New girl
or name change monitor”. I just don’t have those social skills.

Hi @knittedsloth

mm, hot chocolate…

…I don’t remember a knitted sloth in the old pub but you’ve obviously been there a while?

Hi Swash

Fine comfy pub

Nice to have you hanging around - I’m sure we’ve got somewhere that’ll suit you better than a chair.

Errol
yes

I goes slooow and no-one
sees me

mmm

Chez Swash is brand new, made all in one day!
I thought about it when you posted a description of your house in the village, and the thinking became a challenge became an obsession
I'm sorry there are no barrels or barrelly things, I thought long and hard about either finding something that could be made to look like a little barrel, or making them from scratch, but I had to admit defeat.
So not enough pirateness, but there is a shell and a porthole...

I hope you like your chaise longue. Opulent, innit?

Was I not meant to eat the nibbles?

It’s brilliant @MarieDeGournay
And done in a day! Wow! ❤️

Oh, this is turning into a game of Guess Who…

Shallower waters now feeling a tad more tricky. 😬😊

This is my house. It's deep in the forest & yet somehow just a few steps from the Bluestocking..

It’s ok - I know certain people (naming no names but they know who they are) get possessive about them, but this being the Bluestocking there’s always another boxful.
