The Autumn Bluestocking - mist, mellow fruitfulness and hot chocolate!

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

Welcome one and all - as the nights draw in, pull up a chair to the fire, and the gerbils will be along soon with hot chocolate and Tunnock’s teacakes.

They're very sweet, as long as you can't see their teeth!
This is top-class divilmint, isn't it? 'what will really really irk the human? I know, I'll nick their mobile and then run round and round and into spaces they can't fit in ...'

Is that divil called Glinner?

I like the divils and think they'd make excellent animals to identify with apart from the epidemic facial cancer, which is distressing.

Very happy to be assimilated if that means I get to share my workload out a bit? Although the Collective should expect to experience strong cravings for hot chocolate on a regular basis.

Speaking of which, where's that bowser?

Just popping in, in between catching up with NC's documents & the political news on X. I was listening to an old ep of 'Strong Message Here' over coffee earlier, & the first 10 mins of it reminded me of the chat here - the rest of it wasn't as good, but the podcast is usually etertaining.

Right, I must be on my way. Finish off the cake if you fancy it. And try not to let everybody get assimilated by the Borg, OK?

I rather like Spare Head 4 (Kate Middleton special edition) but I guess I'll have to get blonder version now. I've never seen myself as a blonde.

I think Cakeborg is my favourite.

I've lightened the cake and wolf up a bit as it was very dark.

Ta. Was that me or Glad in the first picture - think it was a penguin but it was slightly difficult to tell behind the Borg accoutrements.

It was a Penguin, there will be a magpie, just as soon as I've finished my tea, I smell burning

The guests are turning up thick and fast

Assimilation is in full swing.

Anyone needing gerbil assistance to get into their costume please let me know

Aghhhhh.

A borg elderberry is frightening

As long as they are female Borg and don’t share with the male Borg…

I love the elderborgy ❤️

dam' straight

The borg are assimilating the Staunch Ally separately.

A gerbil just went and collected Bear after his assimilation.

I see you've got your cast off for the evening

Im not judging, but has Maud put on weight whilst she's been living at K&Ps?

It's okay to say no but could we give the Balrog a job at the BlueBorgstocking?
I found her on another thread. She's been struggling for work since Fellowship and she's actually really nice.

I was thinking she can take care of the fireplaces and the boilers, bonfires, fireworks, possibly the engine for the Peak Woo funicular?

I accidentally walked on a box of Snowcremes (Like Snowbals, but labelled gluten-free and made in Offaly) and decided it would be less wasteful if I ate the one I squashed (the wrapping remained intact). It was sooo delicious I pondered having another, or even several others, but paused to read the calorie count.

Oh dear

I feel for gMaud.

Why thank you! I don't remember meeting that particular cousin but she looks really nice doesn't she? Thank you for the little film link, Dean!

I see the hooved contingency has arrived.

Looking good inky

At least you will If the image ever appears

I may have assimilated the image reviewer and now it's refusing to review

She needs purpose in her life doesn't she.

Clara is really busy these days and could do with someone taking over security.

She'd probably be good at keeping the water in the Onsen warm, provided she can manage not to accidentally boil any of the Capybaras.

I'll tell her, give her six weeks then review? If anyone could do a happy balrog.
