I don't have a dehumidifier and was feeling quite deprived - until I realised that I have an ioniser. < she said, smirking >

What a lovely day out, Errol.Smile That's a beautiful part of the world.

It is, we’re very fortunate.

And of course I couldn't resist putting my oar in.

Sorry.
It's getting madder.

Ooh, there's posh!

Ditto.

ETA: but since hers is different too, does that mean one of us (or both) might actually BE Boily?

Don't, Android.
I've been struggling all day to stop my head exploding, due to that mad thread.

I think therefore I am. I breathe therefore I create condensation. I don't ion.

EdithStourton · 28/04/2026 17:30

Which reminds me that I have ironing to do.
It will have to wait.

Off topic, but I have just made a batch of pistachio shortbread and it is DIVINE.

I should be canonised, I swear.

Well, pass it round.

Magpiecomplex · 28/04/2026 17:56

I don't have a dehumidifier or an ioniser. I do have a Velvetiser, which probably surprises no one.

FuzzyPuffling · 28/04/2026 18:00

I'm not sure why, but I'm really struggling with keeping up/in with the Bluestocking at the moment. It moves so fast, I miss all the post 9pm stuff, so many subjects about which I don't feel qualified to comment.

This isn't a moan at all...you're all brilliant, I'm just feeling slow puffin. Is there a quiet room with Rosie in it? Or therapy!

ifIwerenotanandroid · 28/04/2026 18:03

@FuzzyPuffling I really feel like this thread keeps getting away from me & I miss complete chunks of it.

I think we should have a special code word - or emoji - signifying:

'I've been struggling to keep up, I may not be au fait with everybody's news, good or bad, but here I am joining in because I'd miss the Bluey if I stayed away'

Well, pass it round.

I've shared 6 with the neighbour who gave me the chopped pistachios (she works for Dr Oetker so I have a steady stream of baking supplies) but I've got about a dozen I haven't already hoovered up so help yourselves.

I've asked the gerbils to circulate with a plate of them, but one of them definitely had crumbs in her whiskers.

Yes, indeed. Good idea.

Awesome <nom> Lovely.

I made some scones. They're pesto not mouldy. Help yourselves.

I think the Quilting Nook is empty at the moment, nice and quiet in there💐

I have two dehumidifiers.

[I was feeling left out, so had to say it. I have no idea whether they're the same as anyone else's.]

Honestly, you could just make stuff up to fill in the gaps and it would be pretty close to a lot of the stuff we're all talking about!

(except for Gosie's adventures, because those are absolutely real)

lcakethereforeIam · 28/04/2026 18:29

The Bluestocking is not a job or a race, there are no tests. Just drop in and out as you want. Please have a scone 😊

WearyAuldWumman · 28/04/2026 18:29

I sort of stepped on the leg of my fancy schmancy Sweaty Betty yoga leggings as I hauled them off this afternoon, staggered and slightly ripped the top stitching.

On the plus side, they still seem to be in once piece, I've worn them a lot and they were half price. I'll just keep wearing them until it gets critical.

I have one for the living room in the winter, have it on almost constantly. Maybe that's why my electricity bill was so high this past winter!
