Welcome to the Bluestocking women's pub. Men are directed to the Staunch Ally just down the road. Otherwise all are welcome. Pull up a chair, give your order to the Wait Gerbil or the Gerbil behind the bar.

Don't forget to name change if you wish to.

Evening all- very large gin please gerbils. Saw some very very cute gerbils yesterday.
Apparently 'pygmy' or 'dwarf' gerbils. Tiny paws. Don't look like they'd make good bar staff, being a bit small.
I was informed years ago that the 'Timothy' grass is a big bad allergy inducing species.

Hope you're feeling ok, cake 🎂

Have a lovely night, girls!

I'm going to scare the fish dressed like that! I really should have got changed first, but was too busy putting my all into the flounce from the pub to think through late night clothing options.

Good for cleaning the many nooks and crannies in the pub though!

Oh dear, you've upset Harriet - not difficult, she's a sensitive little rat.

'What's that? A cute pygmy gerbils? Cuter than me?'

Now, now, Harriet, no one said they were cuter than you especially in your favourite hat.

A Beetle with earrings is a marvellous thing not to be sniffed at!

Maud can't actually fish and has no bait. She's in it for the outfit. I've been feeding Fawley fish flavoured Dreamies to make up for the fact she's not getting an actual fish!

Did you put in a good word with the sleep gerbils? Slept like a log. Woke up and found I still had those things they put on you to monitor you during the op. stuck on me. I think I've found them all. I'm going to be picking glue off me for days. It's worse than stray grout. I hope I don't have to resort to the steam cleaner.

When I was being pushed down to the theatre, I had a joke-off with the porter (it's weird to think I've no idea what he looks like). He seemed to push me for miles. I tempted to think he was enjoying himself so much he might have taken a long detour. Although I was waiting for a few hours, I didn't have to do all the traipsing. Last time I had to keep dressing and undressing, like a stripper with a whole row of pubs (very poorly attended) to do. So I was in a better mood when I rolled up in the operating theatre antechamber. When the anaesthetist got down on one knee and took my hand, I did ask him if was proposing, but he just stuck a needle in my hand not a ring on my finger.

Quite an adventure there @lcakethereforeIam ! I'm glad you slept well.

Yes you were top of their list, with your name underlined three times and two asterisks after it, so I'm glad they did the biz for you - you deserved and needed a really good rest.

I'm glad they didn't remove your sense of humour in the operating theatre yesterday, because it is brilliant😂

Thank you Errol, you seem to have a way with Harriet - understanding but firm. She needs that combination.
She's asked you round for a cuppa to say thank you Auntie Errol - don't worry, she has other cupsSmile

Pygmy gerbils are cute, FranticFrankie, but I think Harriet's #1 position in the AWWWWWWWWW! stakes is safeSmile

@lcakethereforeIam have you tried medical adhesive remover wipe? Brand names include Zoff and Remove. They were very useful for my fragile skin when changing dressings. For anyone with children who hate having plasters removed they are a godsend.

MyrtleLion · 28/03/2026 11:52

I like to think that Maud and Beetle and Fawley were looking for Samba the escaped capybara.

There has been wild speculation online, but we all know she's down at the Bluestocking.

Hardly surprising they can't find her. She seems to be identifying as a kangaroo in some of those shots!

You are correct, the fishing trip was just to cover up our true intentions.

We found her and used the Bluestocking Gerbil Underground to get her out of the country.

Having provided her with enough food and water to last the journey she is by now probably at an airport in America waiting to get shipped to @Britinme house.

EmpressaurusKitty · 28/03/2026 12:19

It’s rather tough on her sister Tango being left alone, though. Can you get her out too?

Fortunately the Bluestocking Gerbil Underground take pictures for propaganda purposes, so I can show you the scenes. Samba about to go to @Britinme's place and Tango being sprung from the zoo.

It's amazing how the Bluestocking Gerbil Underground can be at an airport in America while simultaneously at a zoo in Suffolk.

Is there nothing these gerbils can't do?
