I was wondering if the overskirts could be made from tinfoil to blend in. If they are plastic I have less to offer.

Perhaps PVC electrical insulation tape, which comes in a range of colours and widths and is self-adhesive?

AsWithGlad · 20/08/2025 14:41

Potholing in The Bluestocking?
There's no shortage of hobby locations on offer in our vast grounds, I see. Is the entrance partway up Peak Woo?

The Tinynork Twins seem to be causing a bit of bother to the image checker..
the image still hasn't appeared!
Look, I know they are scantily clad but they're made of plastic and they are only 1.5" high!🙄

Britinme · 20/08/2025 14:42

And it’s probably time for PVC clothing to be trendy again (does anybody still say “on fleek” or has that phrase died the death by now?)

Is it the ropes and carabiners, do you think?

Feck knows!
I intend posting other pictures of The TinyNork Twins' adventures, but this isn't a great start😣

I used to have awful insomnia - I went for years struggling to get to sleep, and tossing and turning for hours, but I have found a combination that seems to work for me - I listen to audiobooks (to stop the thoughts going round and round my head), I take a magnesium supplement, and I use Feather and Down magnesium and lavender cream just before I put the light out. I tend to listen to history audiobooks - Dan Jones is particularly soporific.

MarieDeGournay · 20/08/2025 14:48

Nope, the image reviewer is having none of it😠
Maybe
'The Tinynork Twins Go To Sea'
will be more acceptable:

I give up. It was supposed to be fun. Spoilsports😡

I don't quite understand. I can see the first image of the twins (at 14:28, it seemed to be approved quickly). Is the image checker resisting a second?

The ropes comment was to do with their potholing adventures, but later I realised that you hadn't linked the two ideas.

AsWithGlad · 20/08/2025 14:55

I would have liked to see the TinyTwins having adventures.

Sad times.

AsWithGlad · 20/08/2025 14:58

And now I see them! (it's back on page 9 so may have been visible for a while)

TropaeolumAreTremendous · 20/08/2025 15:04

@MarieDeGournay Do let's have the Twins at the top of Peak Woo, brandishing a miniature suffragette flag...

MarieDeGournay · 20/08/2025 15:06

Going away and sulking for a bit resulted in the first one appearing, so I'm going to sulk for a bit more, and I'll see what's what when I come back.

I'm sure the Twins would be delighted to tackle the impossible North Face of Peak Woo...😁

Backtracking a bit … DM was from Lancashire, DF Yorkshire, I was born in Derbyshire (though with a Yorkshire postal address) but they went and brought me up on the Essex coast. I’ve since lived in Yorkshire and now Lancashire - I don’t mind the orientation of the sea at all but I do mind that mostly it’s far too far away over such gently sloping beaches as to be useless for swimming.

Clara seems to have a second job as a model.

I can't find the original for this, but someone referenced it. I remember it including 'jowly' in the description of Janet:

It has been suggested that all clothes sellers must have a picture of a 5ft 4", size 14 lady in her mid fifties modelling the clothes, alongside the usual model.
Underneath will be the words, and this is what it will look like on you Janet

I misread this as The Tunnock Twins.

Magpiecomplex · 20/08/2025 18:13

I'm a Kentish Maid. We have sea on three sides so I don't tend to orientate myself by where the sea is!

First official day of my new job today, and I would like a very large and very calorific chocolate milkshake please, bar gerbil.

Magpiecomplex · 20/08/2025 18:23

Ok, question for the pedants. In my previous post, should it be orientate or orient? 🤔

OP posts:
AsWithGlad · 20/08/2025 18:38

Did your first official day at the new job go quite well, @Magpiecomplex ?

When you feel recovered after your large beverage, do let us know.

I can't comment on orient/orientate. ♥

Curate's egg to be honest. Some bits went better than others. I ended the day in characteristic style, however, by asking a difficult question. 😂

I was too knackered to celebrate yesterday, and have spent much of today asleep, but can we have a party to celebrate my news?

My hormone levels blood test results yesterday confirmed I am no longer in perimenopause! I have now tipped over completely in to withered old hag!

Joy to the world! (Shame I'm still having hot flushes mind)
