Bluestocking Women's Pub - cheapest bar on the internet.

[EdithStourton]

The thread in which Gosie's mysterious adventures will continue. All women welcome to join us for a virtual tipple, fun, support and arcane knowledge. And tractors.

It's just crossed my mind that Woley hasn't popped in for a while, as far as I can see.
👋 Woley
Pop back in whenever, we discussed upthread that it's absolutely fine to join in again without having caught up on the 'blink and you miss them' dozens? hundreds? thousands? of posts that can happen when you're back is turned

I initially misread 'diversion' as 'subversion'.

It’s been lovely weather for a while now here, and I’m pretty sure in the vicinity of the Bluestocking it’s always sunny in the daytime with enough rain to keep things green at night.

Sshhhh. I keep telling them it's raining every time they ask if they can get the cannon and the absailing gear out of storage.

Hm…or maybe you read some of the reviews of their last musical. 😬

I reckon you owe them a picnic on the slopes of Peak Woo, at the very least.

Don't worry, AsWith, the gerbils are never actually bad, they can just get a little bit giddy and irresponsible, but they are incapable of malice.
And as Errol said, the quokkas are always there as back-up, and one look at a quokka tells you that they are absolutely lovely.
Fuzzy can vouch for that

That's a bit reassuring, thank you.

Thank you to other kind Bluestocking habituées, too - Marie , Boily, Fuzzy,

I can see I was just being naïve.

Giddy and irresponsible - well yes. They’re Foulcault-addled … I did warn them not to spend too long playing on that sodding big pendulum, but would they listen?

That's because Glenda has my gin!!
All mine
She is sozzled
I am obviously still in disgrace
I Iove the blanket and feel inspired - thank you

As another go to sleep early person I miss pages of post 9pm postings.

I'm inclined to revive my morning greeting from a long-ago website in case anything awful happened and I missed it but still want to say

Have As Good A Day As Possible All

HAGADAPA

Middle-aged is fine, I am middle aged.

I'm from the middle ages.

Somewhere near the middle of the last century anyway.

Isn't that the Camelot climate Errol?

It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear.
The climate must be perfect all the year.

A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe

Are we living in an Arthurian musical?
At least anyone from the middle ages will be fine here.

You see, that's what I'm talking about. Something definitely doesn't add up. (sorry)

Yes, not to worry, but it's all just so...intriguing. I think they are building something, or making something, or hiding things in order to make something, or scraping together parts in order to build something,....
Scraping! Scraping... hmmm

Whatever it is will clearly be a big surprise that none of us would ever have thought of.

Or something completely innocuous.

It's the Way of the Gerbil.

You’re overthinking …it’s purely imaginary not complex.

Morning, if I am middle-aged, that means I shall be living until I am nearly 125! 😁

I'll take that! So much time left to do stuff!

Definitely ‘Camelot’ weather - and it’s important that it does rain at night, gently and consistently so no one is kept awake and there is neither flooding nor drought.

Morning.
Black coffee please, bar gerbils, and a croissant if you have such a thing.
Margo will sit quietly after her bee eating escapade.
I have dipped into the Thread Of Madness and am not sure if I should maybe have a nip of whiskey in that coffee…😳

Me too.
ETA, having seen the Camelot post, yes, perfect!

Oh Margo.
Batshit sends her condolences. She has never actually eaten a bee, but it's exactly the sort of thing she'd do.

I'm from 1565 to 1645

Felling very sorry for herself
