The Bluestocking, where Maud reigns supreme...

... & Magpie regularly drains the hot chocolate bowser.

If you understand that, or you're just cool with it, come on in & bagsie a chair by the fire.

The gerbils do what they want. You think they listen to me? Hah! I just let them get on with it in their own way.

Of course Maud would've had it all under control, but she's gone off somewhere with Boily. So organised chaos is the order of the day.

good to hear.
of course in some zoos they only feed big cats 6 days a week, apparently it’s good for them to have a day off. It’s probably replicating the wild, where on Sunday the lionesses tell the lion it’s his turn to hunt and he CBA.

I'm glad it is moving forward at last.

Edited because that was a very stupid thing to suggest to someone who has already pointed out they can't do dairy.

I will keep chivvying the guardian angels.

😂😂😂😂😂

This is why I married a walrus.

It was thoughful!

And I feel cherished by you lovely strangers at a very difficult time for me.

My SIL has recommended Loop Dream earplugs which are about as noise cancelling as they can get. I can sleep on my side and put my sleep mask speakers over them, dropping off to my favourite audiobook and not being startled awake at 3am by the shouty lady in the next bed but one.

Right, I must watch some very trashy TV now.

I'll try and pop in tomorrow morning xx

Enjoy your tv, and here’s hoping for a decent night’s rest.

Please for the love of the wee man will some of you come and tell Mr Taz that when he has a cold he is not on the verge of death. He has donned a onesie. And is being pathetic. Therrre may be a murrrrrderrrrrrr.

IT IS JUST A COLD.

A onesie on a grown man? That’s worse than The Dressing Gown of Doom.

why does he even have a onesie?

@Taztoy tell him you are gonna post a onsie photo on mumsnet and that you will be calling “thambulance” thereafter.

I concur. It is sludge green fleece to boot.

🤣🤣🤣

predates me. I haven’t no idea.

Why am I reading that ‘predates’ as ‘what a predator does’?

I’ll predate him if he keeps wearing it.

You mean it has attached feet?

(ducks)

(I’d reveal my true being, but that would link my usual Bluestocking name with this one.)

It does. He wears crocs on top. They are grey. To go with the sludge green.

We’ll be thinking of you tomorrow, beloved @MyrtleLion, and hope that ‘lunchtime’ (not for you) is hospital lunchtime and not delayed.

Goodness me. They must be large crocs to fit over the fleece,

I can’t even wear hand knitted socks under my usual footwear.

They are huge. He slipes his feet in them was well which makes me feel murderous.

It’s taking things very seriously to have security gerbils (costumed as hospital workers) chained inside the glass cabinet with the forbidden foods.

What dedication they have.

I cannot translate.

It does remind me of a divorce document I read years ago when working in a law office. Among the woman’s completely understandable reasons for wanting the divorce were that her husband got home from work, removed his shoes and socks and wiped his sweaty feet on the carpet.

It means he doesn’t lift his feet and walk properly. He kind of skids / slides his feet.

I did not know that, @Taztoy. Thank you.

Your man wiping his sweaty feet on the carpet is a bit much, and I'm pretty tolerant, even to the point of drying your socks on the George Formby grill.
