Welcome to the nth iteration of the Bluestocking women’s pub, where gerbils are staff, the drinks are free, and alcohol has no effect except to get you to the sweet spot just before the drink you really shouldn’t have had.

Men can go to the Staunch Ally next door.

It’s OK if you don’t understand. Just assume everything is normal.

Work going on in my house too, Edith - it's wonderful that it's getting done, but I haaaaaaate the disruption, do you?😣
In my case it's just a follow-up to the bigger job they did a few weeks ago, so the house should be back to normal soon; hope your work goes well and swiftly tooSmile
edited to say dammit I was too late to correct a typo in my previous post, 'longboars' for 'longboats'
Interesting fact: 'Longboars' is what miniature pigs call normal-sized pigs, did you know that?😏

Edited

I wondered if longboar was the word used for cannibalism of solely the male of the species (cf. long pig) off the back of the "too hot to eat people" thread a few days ago.

Poor Boily! But you know the old saying:
if you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it’s yours forever.
If it doesn’t, then it's probaby involved in a complex smuggling operation somewhere off the coast of New England involving gerbils, Viking longboars, dragons, an over-excited dog, a legal eagle ocelot, a valiant pirate cap'n who, when she says 'What's that in old money?' means gold doubloons, etc etc......

I love this!

❤️❤️❤️ and also 😂😂😂

We’re going to need a bigger thread…

I have a two hour meeting at 1130, so I will probably see you on the next one.

I'll bring Gosie and the crew.

I'll do a new thread. Probably my turn!

Magpiecomplex · 29/05/2026 10:48

@AuntieMsDamsonCrumble don't forget to namechange before posting on the new thread!

PastaAllaNorma · 29/05/2026 10:57

Oh bugger, I think I dropped my crochet hook down the cushions. I'd best find it before we move.

AngleofRepose · 29/05/2026 10:57

Thanks for the new thread, Magpie! I just have to gather all my research documents, check the cellar for secret tunnels, go back through the library to make sure nothing mysterious was left after the "disappearance" of the loft hatch, get my quilting things from the Nook, then go remind Carmela to tell the rest of the camels that we're moving to the new place.

AngleofRepose · 29/05/2026 11:00

Can I borrow some capybaras to help move the quilting frame, please?

(nevermind, they say they can just build a new one)

...Someone's left their knitting in the Nook!

AngleofRepose · 29/05/2026 11:21

Carmela has asked me to ask Magpie specifically "is there going to be better hay at the new place?"

(🙄Don't shoot the messenger.)

I've told her we're leaving with or without her attitude.

PastaAllaNorma · 29/05/2026 11:24

Camels. Uppity buggers, the lot of them.

Found the crochet hook but put down my books somewhere. Anyone seen Sailing for Beginners or A Woman's Guide to Nautical Knots kicking about?

The capybaras have cleared out all the books in anticipation of the move. "Fire hazard" or some such...

Well, that depends on what the better hay is being measured against.
It's better than the hay at the Staunch Ally, I can guarantee that.

Magpiecomplex · 29/05/2026 11:31

@AngleofRepose for Carmela. Better hay, as requested.

Well, I say! I don't think even Carmela can complain about that! (she says, hopefully)

I bet she can 😀

Magpiecomplex · 29/05/2026 12:26

How are we doing with clearing out the Nook, nearly done yet?

AuntieMsDamsonCrumble · 29/05/2026 12:30

I shall be coming in disguise on the next thread. I wonder if you will all recognise me 😎😁

Yes, all cleared!

ChristmasStars · 29/05/2026 13:38

Kind of sad to leave. This one has been really fun with our new adventures. Thanks @MyrtleLion and here's to many more! 🥂

AngleofRepose · 29/05/2026 13:40

Does anyone know where Gubbins is?? I found her triangle in the attic! Or does she have more than one?

I'm sure Gubbins has a whole collection of triangles!

Magpiecomplex · 29/05/2026 13:43

Last call, everyone. Nearly time to lock up.

Magpiecomplex · 29/05/2026 13:44

All done!
