The dance of the cows was interrupted by milking time and our adventuress was herded into the automated milking barn. Screaming and shouting that she didn't want to be milked and indeed was not a cow, fortunately......

one of the farm workers was walking through the barn on his way to eat. Unfortunately he was scrolling his phone and ...

Not noticing her dilemma, and not looking where he was going, he walked straight into a large bull which had escaped from his field and chased his cow harem into the milking parlour, but fortunately...

Llamas99 Fri 02-Aug-24 21:42:55

the bull was cogitating on the alluring cows in scarves (one enterprising heifer tied her scarf to her tail - ooh la la!) but unfortunately.....

a mysterious sink hole opened in the ground and the bull began to slide down the resulting slope. Fortunately ...

He managed to grab hold of the scarf which the heifer had tied around her tail and scramble back up, but unfortunately...

the sinkhole began to expand. In the midst of this melee, the adventuress lost her costume, alas. Seeing the dire straits facing all in the barn, she grabbed a rope. Having been a star rodeo rider, she fortunately....

had paid close attention when learning her knots and was able to figure out how to form a lassoo with the rope. Unfortunately

henetha Tue 06-Aug-24 10:15:56

Her throwing skills were poor so she missed and the rope came slithering back to her as they all slid down and down into the sink hole where fortunately...

Where fortunately... there was a plate set un the ground to warn the farmer that cattle had fallen into the hole. Unfortunately

biglouis Tue 06-Aug-24 11:08:52

the farmer was watching Netflix at that particular moment and enjoying his cornflakes so did not immediately notice that his herd was in danger. Fortunately

Llamas99 Wed 07-Aug-24 07:18:07

A traveling circus was going down the nearby road. Noticing all the commotion, the ringmaster loped over to the barn. Aghast at all the animals in peril, he summoned his elephant who used his trunk to rescue the cows and the bull! Two things struck our adventuress - to grab the cornflakes and run away with the circus! Unfortunately.....

biglouis Wed 07-Aug-24 16:32:14

the ringmaster already had a partner in the bearded lady so was not interested in her advances. Fortunately

OnwardandUpward Wed 07-Aug-24 18:38:32

as a once on a blue moon kind of event ,the bearded lady decided to shave, causing the ring master to go off her, meaning the adventuress used her female wiles to ensnare him after all, but unfortunately...

Llamas99 Fri 09-Aug-24 23:04:52

She realized the ringmaster was a blustering eejit. Just then she spied a handsome rugged man shouting 'Mush!' and driving a sled and team of dogs. She raced across the field and jumped on the back of the sled, where the handsome man clapped a coonskin cap on her head. Fortunately....

Elrel Fri 09-Aug-24 23:34:03

She realised Davey Crockett was her ideal man and set up house in a log cabin in the Canadian Rockies, unfortunately

biglouis Sat 10-Aug-24 08:48:28

a snow storm began and it was soon six foot deep outside. The generator began to splutter and it was clear they would soon lose power. Fortunately

henetha Sat 10-Aug-24 10:30:24

Fortunately there was a spare generator in the boat shed which was about a mile away, so they donned their snow shoes and began to walk the distance, when unfortunately...

.....a thunderstorm began but 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....

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

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

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

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 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...
