The Bluestocking: it's the season of mulled wine, conversations about pineapple and, of course, gerbils. Confused? You will be...

Welcome to the anarchic and marvellous women-only on-line pub, the Bluestocking. The booze won't give you a hangover, the cakes won't make you fat, and the conversations are fascinating, covering knitting, health and safety, the Muppets and anything else that comes to mind.

Climb Peak Woo, have a cuddle with Rosie the Red Panda, and watch out for capybaras busy with any necessary building works.

Welcome in (and name change at the door if you need too).

@Magpiecomplex Hope you've been having a wonderful day xx

I see you're in the birthday snug! what a lot of shiny things.

@ShinyBlueTractor did Gloria ask if she could have a ride? or did she hotwire you?

Awww, thanks Boily!

Honoured to be part of the birthday celebrations! I see I'm a TinyShinyBlueTractor, I might need to adjust my name

Size is one of many constants that are actually variables in the Bluestocking. Tiny enough for a gerbil to drive but also much, much bigger:

Yes, it’s sort of like the Tardis in here but moreso. Tardis

Ganache turns out to be a very talented pastry chef - she's made this for me! Help yourself to a slice.

How does she do the iridescent icing? It’s very impressive.

Trade secret. Apparently she could tell me, but then she'd have to kill me.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/12/2025 18:23

Oh… I guess I don’t want to know that much.

LordEmsworthsGirlfriend · 07/12/2025 18:56

Happy birthday, Magpie.

Chersfrozenface · 07/12/2025 19:05

Merry birthday, @Magpiecomplex.

Magpiecomplex · 07/12/2025 19:06

Thanks everyone!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 07/12/2025 19:10

Happy birthday from me too, @Magpiecomplex!

We had a lovely chat with ds2 and his girlfriend in Australia this morning - I am so looking forward to seeing them at Christmas. We are still slogging through all the arrangements for FIL’s funeral, but it is coming together.

We have booked assistance for the train journeys, and borrowed a wheelchair for me to use down there, so hopefully I won’t be too much trouble for dh and co.

AsWithGlad · 07/12/2025 19:14

Happy Birthday Magpie, from me also.

Have some sparkly things:

Happy Birthday Magpie.

It's uniquely embarrassing when you come dressed the same as the centrepiece.

That's not going to help with Boily's ability to resist you!

lcakethereforeIam · 07/12/2025 19:37

I might pop home and get changed 🤔

SionnachRuadh · 07/12/2025 19:49

Ooh, yes please.
What kind is it? I mean, I’ll have some in any case; just enjoying a moment of anticipation…

Chocolate (predictably enough) with a raspberry jam filling. And lots of ganache (of course!).

Swashbuckled · 07/12/2025 20:06

Sounds wonderful! I’m so glad it’s your birthday 🙂

ErrolTheDragon · 07/12/2025 20:10

Ooh that sounds lovely.
