Figured it was my turn for once!

Plus this way I beat the rush to the bar.

Now I must return to the previous thread to relocate my Tunnock's secret stash.

Serve yourselves until the bar gerbils arrive.

She's done so well manifesting her corporeal body I sometimes forget her back story.

I never knew it.

My breakfast was, as it is every day, a toasted bagel with bacon and stilton.

At some point I'll get bored, but it's been about 4 years so far!

Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only one.

My heart-sink moment is reading on a menu.." vegetarian option, Mushroom Risotto".

Add me as a third. It’s not that I don’t like mushrooms, rather that they make me poorly.

Thanks for the back link. I have just found this lovely photo of my wife. I'm slightly miffed noone told me about the ghosts 👻 before we married, but Blue Lady looks friendly.

Hmphhh.

Why did MNHQ let you publish that image but not me. Bet it's because I told them on a different thread yesterday that they were annoying me!

Worst was a wedding I went to recently when the vegetarian option was...a giant mushroom 'steak'.

When anyone asks my dietary preferences I now say "I'm a vegetarian who hates mushrooms". Noone has complained.

😂I have spikes they scare folk. Or maybe they've assigned a special checker to you @Boiledbeetle ?

Wouldn't surprise me considering I've had my fair share of 'Mumsnet calling' emails over the years!

I see they've posted them now!

I have live Greek yoghurt with kiwi fruit and blueberries, topped with a mixture of seeds, and a mixture of nuts ground together with turmeric.

It’s delicious.

FuzzyPuffling · 28/08/2025 15:23

I have half a slice of DH's home made seeded bread with either plum compote or Marmite.
Girlcat joins me with a spoon of Morrisons Savers cream cheese ( no other will do).

I am in forrin parts, dealing with stuff that has been going on for a year. I have had several glasses of alcoholic drinks, but I could still do with a Bluestocking cocktail.

I want to go home, but can't until next week. My strategy is to remain three parts drunk until I hit the airport. Both physically and virtually.

So bar-gerbils, keep 'em coming.

My brain seems a bit inside out today, I keep saying the opposite of what I mean like I'm some sort of Lewis Carroll Hedgehog.

midgetastic · 28/08/2025 17:40

My veggie food heart sinking moment is veggie curry - I make that every week myself - I don’t want a poor imitation

evening all

any alcohol free cocktails as I think the liver is in revolt

The groundhog who lives in my garden is enjoying the antics at the Bluestocking so much that he would like to come and visit, and maybe help the staff.

It can't be. Have you been mixing pills & booze again? 😂

Don't make me get that badger consultant in to lecture you about good patient behaviour for the fifth time.

I have to admit that I've never quite believed that real people actually eat that kind of breakfast.

It’s lunch. The walrus mixes the seeds every couple of weeks. He grinds the nuts because he hates nuts but likes them ground up and stirs in turmeric.

I’ll take a picture tomorrow if you don’t believe me.

I'm afraid he'll have to make himself useful at the Staunch Ally up the road.

@MyrtleLion It’s lunch.

Huh. For some reason I can't make that compute. Perhaps the traditionalist in me can't get past the idea that lunch should be savoury and involve more carbohydrate.
