[ifIwerenotanandroid]

Join us as we open our slightly wonky advent calendar. 🌲

(copies available behind the bar £12.50 each, no refunds)

Right, that's me sorted!

<opens ALL the doors whilst no one is around>

@ifIwerenotanandroid did you nick all the chocolates? These doors have nothing behind them!!

It's so peaceful here. I shall use the quiet time wisely.

Glueda is making herself useful whilst there are no customers to serve.

ETA are we on an image approval go slow again today?

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes, I feel so insecure
And love's so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Zzzzzzzzz

Too slow, chicken Marengo!

I see The Arm escaped from my lab. I've caged it & taken it back.

I've been waiting a whole feckin' year for this name change!

Hello, it looks lovely and cosy in here. I don't suppose the gerbils run to a flaming gluhwein? For everyone?

Something has only just occurred to me.

If I join the Christmas merrymaking/relaxing by the roaring fire, will I melt?

Or does the warmth of the Bluestocking have no deleterious effects? You know, like the food and drink.

Niiiice!

Enjoy your Snowball.

Your drink my lady.

It depends on if you wish to melt or not I presume?

You could sit in front of the one that just has pretend flames and no heat.

That's beautiful! 😍

Gesundheit was nervous at first but she's getting the hang of delivering them now

I was scared to come with the random arm hanging about 😀

<pops head round the door, sees Boiled has commandeered all the gerbils>

There are 12 spaces left to fill on the old thread.

<leaves in a harumph, coughing>

Sorry Gesundheit. Your very good health.

And relax!

Old thread is full.

Lots of everything please!

I'm just going to fall asleep in the snug.

Last thread is locked up.

Proof👇 as couldn't post it on the last thread.

Hmphhh

< Wanders nonchalantly into the new thread>

Oh good, gluhwein.
May I have some cheesy chips with that?

Is flaming Gluewein like a Feuerzangenbowle? With a sugar cone drenched in rum and set alight?

What????
