The Bluestocking, where we look forward to good things happening, both soon and later.

[AsWithGlad]

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, who enjoy doing this and other interesting things. Any curious menfolk are welcome at the Staunch Ally down the road.

Previous thread: here.

Rather jealous of the NENSOH. Never going to happen while I stay in education.

Soz Magpie yes I used to envy teachers not having to do the dance of "how the hell am I going to cover 6ish weeks" but it's deffo got its downsides too

My bedroom is now tending to be just cool enough to warrant turning on the electric under blanket to warm the bed while I bath. Bliss.

God I'm the spit of my Aunt Bernadine in that nightie.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

and now I can't stop coughing! God damn you.

I’m crocheting on the sofa in my cat pyjamas.

Kitty wanted the back door open. We might have to negotiate on that when it gets colder.

I fed AI a load of documents earlier. Then asked it some questions, then some more, then added some more files, asked more questions, added more files. Asked more questions

The AI is currently having a lie down in a dark room.

I moved over the other week.

It's not a problem I recall ever having before, but everything I put on my bottom half promptly falls to my ankles.

I have now switched back to the summer wardrobe.

Brava!

and all within 30 seconds! Repeat every five minutes throughout night.

.

I'm just debating whether I can face catching up on the Sandie Peggie thread...

ETA nope. They are still on hot milk with weetabix.

Heathens.

Dooont do it just dont.

Too late! I backed out quick though

With bonus points for not waking the cat.

Mine have learnt the far corners at the bottom and each side of the pillow at the top whilst not the snuggliest (!?) Spots are most definitely the safest if you don't wish to be launched across the room at regular intervals.

Perhaps take it a nice G&T?

Kitty moves around but her favourite place is one of the bottom corners. Obviously it’s the side I usually sleep on so I just need to beware of kicking out.

I'm popping my head around the corner to say g'night, but that seems to be a highly dangerous thing to do with all the colds going around the Bluey!
It is clear that the common denominator is the RCN trib, 😷
I hope you all start feeling better soon.

I'm also not feeling very well, not a cold, unusually, it's a chronic things flaring up. Some more noisy dusty work on the house is going to start at 8am tomorrow. Rotten timing🙁but the show must go on, eh?

Hoping the Sleep and Dream Gerbils sprinkle some healing magic dust around tonight🌛

Should be heading off to bed, but I've been dozing most of the day.

Have caught up on the Weetabix antics in the other thread and I'm getting rather nostalgic: when I was unwell, breakfast would be cornflakes with hot milk...and as well as the obligatory Lucozade and Ferguzade (a Scottish knock-off of the former) I'd be given...wait for it...

Boiled Irn Bru. I actually quite enjoyed it. It's a wonder I have any teeth left.

I saw that the latest thread had 404 more posts and thought that's an omen. I'll just mark it as read.

Gosie is probably ready but it probably needs a bit of Myrtle tweaking and I have also spent the day posting documents into AI and then asking a lot of questions and then shouting at it in ALL CAPS because it is utterly useless at times.

So I will post Gosie tomorrow.

My main memory of weetabix is how it sets rock hard if you don’t clean it off the highchair immediately. That stuff is so tough you could fill potholes with it!

And there was the time when I’d just given ds1 a big spoonful of weetabix, and he sneezed and pebbledashed me with it. 😂

The derailer on the SP thread has been outed as a serial offender and seems to have disappeared, so it's probably safe to come out now - unless you hate all forms of breakfast cereal.

I'm getting a bit worried that the Gerbil Three don't have enough to eat😬

Hope those with lurgies or other physical symptoms are feeling better😷

I'm getting a bit worried that the Gerbil Three don't have enough to eat😬

What do they eat, apart from seeds?

Is it Howse? I couldn't be arsed searching.
