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.

Wow what an image!

Well worth waiting for, thank you!

Kitty’s leading the gerbil choir in a congratulations song.

Her cat grass is looking nice.

mine never survive that long!

Thank you. As predicted some pheasants and a rabbit were imagined seen through the open pub door and the beautifully poised pyramid of girls lost the plot and collapsed as quickly as an argument for letting men into The Blue Stocking.

Congratulations, Myrtle!
That’s wonderful news. I’m so pleased to read it.

You’re now working out how to celebrate, but all the options are good ones and what a grand situation to be in.

It good that you have seen the team as well, and they have ‘met’ you.

Joyousness and general rejoicing!

I'm late to the gerbilly celebrations but huge congrats from me too Myrtle, delighted for you!!

... is there any cake left?

Bloody well hope there's some cake left, some of us are still at work!

Wise words. Sounds like you have some experience of ADHD yourself!

I couldn't say.

You tell me.

Promises self tomorrow I will be organised. I will stop procrastinating. In fact I'll write a list right now of all the things I'll do tomorrow....

Three hours later.

My pen has run out.

You snooze you lose.

Did somebody say cake??
👀

Can someone crank up the jukebox as I've just heard rumours that Gubbins has written a special 3 hour celebratory triangle solo in honour of @MyrtleLion new job.

Wish I could have snoozed my way through this afternoon.

Ah, Ganache, how kind of you to keep a slice aside for me. Your very good health, Myrtle.

Sounds perfectly normal to me.

Great.
So that's settled then.

So, do you want the Gosie episode now with 34 replies left?

Do you know what?! It's my getting a brand new job day, so I am going to START THE NEXT THREAD NOW with Gosie's latest episode.

Because otherwise Gosie will get left behind or I'll end up posting the episode when I'm drunk on champagne.

Please fill this thread up first.

Fantastic! Well done you!

I have a rolling pin that belonged to my late MIL - much bigger and heavier than standard ones. I think of her every time I use it.

I have my grandmother’s vegetable knife, which is still sharp. I think of her every time I use it, too.

I’ll start packing up the crafting room.

YUM!
Brains! Brains! NO!

I'll be cleaning the cellar before we leave. Just leave an empty open van by the back door I'll chuck all the junk in and drop it off at the tip on the way to the next thread.

Gaynor you're on tea cakes
Gladys snowballs
Gwen caramel wafers
And Greta you take the Caramel logs.

If anyone asks they are out of date and off to the tip.

I have some of my mum and dad's wedding presents - the Crystal glasses, finally out of their 1960s boxes and in my cupboard. And the Kenwood mixer they got.

Ditto.
Things get done if I write them down, or do them instantly.
Otherwise...

As for Old Stuff in Use, I'm the 4th generation of the family to use the kitchen scales. We still have the half-ounce weight.

If I have to write a list it's the absolute must do TODAY no pissing about list, otherwise the list just starts to go on and on and on.
