Welcome to The Bluestocking, the best (perhaps only) online women's pub. Nothing in the food or drink can harm you, everything is served by a very enthusiastic crew of gerbils, and any curious menfolk are welcome at the Staunch Ally down the road.

Are her crocs included?

She’s lost them somewhere.

Then I'm not interested, I'm afraid. Sorry Boily.

I'm an only child...I wanted 5 children!

So did I! Started a bit late though, and aforementioned problematic birth of #2 was more than enough really.

I'll have her! Does she have a name?

The birth club thingy sounds a bit odd to me. I did have a right laugh about birth stories once i went through it. Stories of hideous pain, sitting in a birth pool for 48 hours, ( that is the one story that killed me laughing because a secret sub group wondered how shrivelled up she might have become)

But surely the issue fades with time, else we would never have number two.

Or the toddlers bed as they are at their dad's that night!

Great! I love sleeping in beds usually slept in by children who still pee themselves in the night.

Yep!

Thanks for the latest instalment, Myrtle!

Everyone, this is your early warning for tomorrow evening's eclipse! If it's going to sunny and not cloudy where you live, you'll get between 90% and 95% eclipse, starting around:

Edinburgh/Glasgow 6.08pm, eclipse maximum 7.05pm, ends 8pm

Galway/Dublin 6.12pm, eclipse maximum 7.10pm, ends 8.05-8.06pm

Manchester/Liverpool 6.13pm, eclipse maximum 7.10pm, ends 8.03-8.04pm

Norwich 6.15pm, eclipse maximum 7.11pm, ends 8.04pm

London/Bristol/Cardiff 6.17pm, eclipse maximum 7.12pm, ends 8.06pm

Sorry, I don't know if it's viewable from North America or continental Europe except it will be a total eclipse in parts of northern Spain.

Please ensure you take the usual precautions. 😎(DO NOT USE SUNGLASSES)

Nothing to see in deepest darkest Peru

A slight shift in guest arrangements. Me and DH always seem to draw the short straw in bedroom allocations.

we always have to concede to the elderly the younguns etc, and once ended up in bunk beds.

not doing that anymore.

Beverley

Beverley the Cat.
Bev Cat.

I'll take her with or without crocs, don't mind. 😻

doh.

Pick the cat up from @EmpressaurusKitty house.

I'll post the Crocs to you.

Bev & Kitty are in the catnip patch behind the Bluestocking.

When I was a kid, it was taken for granted that children gave up their rooms to visiting adults, so Auntie Whoever would have my bed & I’d sleep on the sofa.

By the time I was Auntie Whoever, it was taken for granted that children kept their own bedrooms & that I’d sleep on the sofa.

Fuck that.

Yay!!! I'll just give them a bit more time in Catnip Heaven.

I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat,I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat,I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat, I have a cat!
😊😻

@Boiledbeetle

I only bloody did it… the temptations of controversial MN threads not withstanding.

(Sorry for gatecrashing after a rudely long absence and a NC, the artist formerly know as Lurkey)

Ooh yes please BoiledBeetle, I fell in love with that cat the minute I saw her!

On another note, you all may recall i lambasted a friend on Facebook book. I rarely post at all these days.

anyway she responded with the same old tropes, JKR she said, is as bad as tommy Robinson bla bla bla.

I gave her a brief history of JKR background in Portugal, etc.

I then used a useful analysis from the heartlands of labour.

And as a Marxist analysis ( which she thinks she is) explained class structures bla bla bla.

The funny thing is she is yet to realise i am using her public platforming to argue with her so all her mates, can see.

I do not think she has worked that one out yet. I consider it my civic duty.

😂

Lurky! Well done! Have a large drink on the house!

I cautiously thought it was you!!!

And

YAY!

@AngleofRepose has also expressed interest.

So, do the pair of you fight to the death? Share the cat? Or stand 10 feet apart with identical cat treats and see which of you the cat distribution network thinks needs a cat more?

@AnonyMumAuDHD erm.....

Where do you think you're going?

Back to the laptop, you've still got the other 40,000 words to do now.
