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

there was very poor reception and she had only one bar showing. Fortunately ...

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

before setting off she had memorised the manual
unfortunately

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...

crossed posts, sorry

Time Machines run on Dilithium, an extremely hard crystalline mineral that occurs naturally on some planets. Earth is not one of them. But 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 23:49:46

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

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....

biglouis Thu 15-Aug-24 09:38:48

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

henetha Thu 15-Aug-24 10:30:48

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

OnwardandUpward Thu 15-Aug-24 13:38:42

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...

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....

biglouis Fri 16-Aug-24 01:29:59

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

OnwardandUpward Fri 16-Aug-24 02:20:49

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.....

Llamas99 Fri 16-Aug-24 08:47:24

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....

Ashcombe Fri 16-Aug-24 08:57:23

…………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……..

OnwardandUpward Fri 16-Aug-24 10:25:29

there was a Victorian dress hanging up inside the ladies toilets and it fitted her! This gave her confidence to make her speech and everyone clapped. She enjoyed a glass of champagne afterwards, but unfortunately...

swampy1961 Fri 16-Aug-24 10:43:45

............ one glass is never enough, she had another and another until fortunately ......................

biglouis Sat 17-Aug-24 02:00:26

one of the servants realised she was somewhat the worse for drink. He led her down to the servants hall where the houskeeper made coffee to sober her up. Unfortunately ...

Llamas99 Sat 17-Aug-24 02:33:12

She was starting to suspect a whack a mole situation! The housekeeper was having a tryst with the under butler so the Adventuress grabbed a broom, the mouser jumped on and away they flew, wimple floating behind! Fortunately....

biglouis Sun 18-Aug-24 10:42:10

our heroine was able to rise quickly into the air and it looked like she was getting away from her problems at last. Unfortunately

OnwardandUpward Sun 18-Aug-24 11:30:13

The broomstick broke in two! She and the cat fell sharply towards the ground, her wimple flew off and was grabbed by a bird of prey. As she continued falling she saw her life flash before her eyes but fortunately....

biglouis Mon 19-Aug-24 12:50:49

she had a soft landing on a large bouncy castle which had been set up for the village fete. Unfortunately

OnwardandUpward Mon 19-Aug-24 15:45:07

she enjoyed jumping for a while before realising that she had forgotten to put any tena lady on that day!
but Fortunately....
