The Bluestocking: All You Need to Know About Risk Assessments, Jazz Hands, Battenberg and Sourdough (But Were Afraid to Ask) - and gerbils. Lots and lots of gerbils.

[MyrtleLion]

Welcome to The Bluestocking, the perfectly overblown, gloriously chaotic all-women’s pub where you can have a bit of a lie down if you need it.

Expect serious debates on musicals, cake and knitting, and whimsical musings on women’s rights and why the world’s on fire (again), all under the calm supervision of our support staff: gerbils, capybaras, and the occasional quokka on secondment.

The alcohol won’t get you drunk, the pastries won’t make you fat, but the conversation will digress, and that’s the point.

Remember to namechange before posting if you’re sometimes someone else.

Yes.

Was it ever established if Glenda(?) was in the family way or just had covid?

<Typing with one hand>
I think she needs to be kept outside.
She's also eyeing the gerbils. Gwenda says she's feeing very nervous.

I'm sure she'd be much happier outside, or at least in a nice cold temperature-controlled room. I wonder if there's any space in Android's lab? She surely must have air con in there?

I think it was Gilda. Thankfully just covid. So no baby Garys to deal with.

Would Snowy enjoy the top of Peak Woo?

Now that's a good idea. And through the winter the Staunch Ally can send the most annoying bloke that week up the mountain as her lunch!

Excellent idea.
I'm guessing the "Bluey animals are friends not dinner" does not extend to annoyances from the Staunch Ally?

I’m pretty sure the really annoying blokes aren’t Staunch Allies. Those types frequent …hm, is it the Sealion and Trumpet?

The Staunch Ally is intended for the likes of the Walrus, should they venture into these parts.

But you know the really annoying blokes will try to get in the Staunch Ally, so at least now the male gerbils can suggest a walk up Peak Woo to them!

Tha snow leopard is so cute, @SionnachRuadh - I want to cuddle him and his murder paws.

I'll get the penguins & polar bears to budge up a bit & then she'll fit into the Cold Corner just fine, if you want to leave her with me. (Please, please, do - she's gorgeous & my metal is scratchproof.)

Her!

In fact Greg is currently directing lunch in Snowy's direction.

Aren’t cats usually quite discerning about their food? I don’t think rejects from the SA are likely to be palatable.

Tell Greg to send lunch via the catnip patch!

He'll have sobered up by the time he reaches the top, so it will be like he's been marinated first but the alcohol won't affect Snowy.

I have just read a very Bluestocking story in the local news...
An overweight raccoon has been found in a garden in Cornwall..

I hope you're enjoying your time en famille Britinme, apart from that little baby starting highschool next year😦

Wondered where Rita was!

I'm too distracted by housey Things That Must Be Done to spend much time dahn the Stockin', but I've popped in long enough to enjoy the snow leopard and the overweight raccoon

She's stuffing her face in Gwennap.

I had to look Gwennap up. When I was a kid there was a shop on the bus route into town called Gwennap and the shop window was full of mannequins wearing skimpy lingerie!

Blimey! The place is famously where John Wesley preached. Not sure if he was a fan of skimpy lingerie....

Oh that's a boy. Must be Richard, Rita's other half. So where has Rita got to?
