…………She was expected to make a speech about her painting. This was a struggle for her especially as she felt uncomfortable about her inappropriate attire but fortunately……..

As she rambled along, a man ran up to her shouting, 'Where have you been? The meeting is about to start and Wilburforce is fit to be tied! Everyone on the Board is blown away by your Masterpiece!' How mysterious! But as she was very tired, she followed along hoping for a sit-down and a cuppa but unfortunately....

she was still a bit sticky from the icing even though the labradors did their best. She stopped to take off her sticky clothes and put on the large bloomers and a vest that she'd managed to grab. She looked a strange sight wearing bloomers, a vest and the wimple, so she hoped no one would recognise her . People did stare a bit, but fortunately.....

one of the Merry Wives of Windsor had hung out the washing to dry so she was able to grab a garment as she ran past. Unfortunately

The Labrador Licking caused her to giggle and heehaw (she was very ticklish) and could not catch her breath to explain. She saw a hat shop, ran in and they sent her on her way wearing a wimple! Fortunately....

the beam lost power and failed, so she fell to earth suddenly, where a large cake broke her fall in the middle of a field. She climbed out of the cake feeling bruised, sticky and embarrassed as she realised a lot of people were staring as they were holding a wedding party for their dogs, but fortunately a pack of labradors ran towards her and licked it all off! They thought it was a part of their celebration!

Unfortunately...

Fortunately Scottie from Star Trek was there and shouted to her to say "Beam me up Scottie", so she did, but unfortunately...

the time machine had taken her to the year 1040 and people took her for Lady Godiva riding through the streets naked. Fortunately ...

Llamas99 Thu 15-Aug-24 09:30:40

Davy C had rigged the time machine with his pocket items (including lint) so it might give wonky results. Adventuress
took off in spite of an uncertain journey! Lo and behold! When she landed, she was nude and riding a horse in a village with her hair covering her body! Unfortunately....

Amazon drivers were on industrial action for better conditions and pay. Fortunately

henetha Wed 14-Aug-24 23:24:28

Dilithium is easily obtained from Amazon at a reasonable price with fast delivery, so he sent for some but unfortunately...

biglouis Wed 14-Aug-24 10:09:34

Time Machines run on Dilithium, an extremely hard crystalline mineral that occurs naturally on some planets. Earth is not one of them. But fortunately

Llamas99 Tue 13-Aug-24 08:21:50

crossed posts, sorry

Llamas99 Tue 13-Aug-24 08:19:44

In the confusion of dogs, Bandits and Mounties (the Ringmaster too!?) all running in circles, Davy emptied his pockets of bits and bobs and found the needed components to start the Time Machine! Unfortunately...

poppysmum Tue 13-Aug-24 07:52:06

before setting off she had memorised the manual
unfortunately

biglouis Tue 13-Aug-24 00:16:20

...She had enough battery left to read the instructions, programme the Tardis and set course for a place of safety.
Unfortunately...

henetha Mon 12-Aug-24 23:29:11

She didn't speak any of those languages, her main language being Spanish with a little bit of Swahili. She pulled out her phone to use Google Translate and fortunately...

biglouis Mon 12-Aug-24 10:51:02

there was an instruction leaflet left out. The instructions were in German, French and Chinese. Unfortunately ...

henetha Mon 12-Aug-24 09:58:33

Dr.Who was nowhere to be seen and she had no clue how to drive it, but fortunately

Llamas99 Mon 12-Aug-24 04:54:07

They saw Davy Crockett still driving his team of Huskies! The bandits fell in love with those huskies - so strong and loyal! They decided they would prefer the huskies to the Canadians so changed direction forthwith! The adventuress was wishing she was back in the barn - or back with the Weather expert in the balloon - or at least had made it to her party. Hark! What is the thing behind a tree?! It's a handy Time Machine! Unfortunately.......

biglouis Sun 11-Aug-24 14:44:11

bandits ambushed the troop and began shooting from the cover of the hills. Fortunately ...

Llamas99 Sun 11-Aug-24 00:23:32

The Royal Canadian Mounted Patrol in that area appeared! She promptly decided that uniform was the Cat's Meow and deserved a closer look! She jumped up on the back of the saddle of the Leader of this Troop, shouted 'HiHo Silver' and away they all galloped! But unfortunately....
