September Dryathlon

ana The maid probably carried it.

I just caught myself googling Tupperware extra large storage - I really must go out for some fresh air, I think I've gone stir crazy.

PS I think the 5 litre super storer would be too small.

A bin bag?

I'd go for a binbag, but remember they hadn't been invented in ???? BC Take off a petticoat to wrap it in? Not that nice white one, you'd never get it clean (correction - the maid would never get it clean). Did they wear a petticoat in ???? BC? More likely to in the early 17C, when these were painted so perhaps these women would have a petticoat to use.

Elegran 'twas I, Anya who raised this point, not Ana.

Ana bin bags? Maggie Tupperware?

Perhaps they just slung it over the back of a hypothetical donkey?

Or maybe the maid just carried the head on a platter through the streets...

Which of course would be equipped with paniers, like what they have in Spain.

Elegran I don't think petticoats. These women were organised they'd come well prepared.

Yes Ana that would work....I like it, sort of John the Baptist and Salomé style

Yes, and Judith would be carrying the dripping knife, so no one would dare challenge them!

Well you wouldn't would you

Makes Lady McBeth seem like one of the Teletubbies by comparison!

I agree, no hand-wringing from Judith!

You bloodthirsty lot!!!!

Ana/Anya like this? (another nice dress about to be ruined)

At least it's a sensible dark colour. The bloodstains won't show too much.

No, she looks too wimpy!

More like this

IN this one Salome is wearing a practical dress of red silk - the bloodstains will vanish. She looks very well-nourished, but not as much so as her mother, Herodias (in yellow.) King Herod looks a bit peeved. I think he was expecting to be presented with the roast swan that someone is carrying head-high in the background.

?? - oops have I wandered into some kind of virtual reality ....?

Anyway, welcome Judith, Joel, Jacob Elegran grannylyn65 Jemima, Jonah and hello again Ana
I believe if you soak the said garment and spray with Vanish the blood will disappear......

What happens when we get to 1,000 posts - we are very close....

Yes, it was definitely me what ate the chocolate brownie m'lud and after catching up with this thread I'm off to find another or perhaps a

I am feeling really sorry for my own Judith what a lot she has to either live up to or live down.

Way-hay, jogginggirl's back - I was starting to worry....

I may be absent myself now for a few days as we are off on our Cornish jaunt tomorrow and I'm not sure what the wifi situation is where we're staying. So just in case, have a good week, all - and don't forget to soak those frocks before the stains get set in

When we get to 1000 posts the thread is full. I don't know where it goes after that...perhaps into some hyperspace storage facility or onto a cloud

If Maggie's gone for too long it may have vanished for ever

Nice to see you're alive and kicking still JG

Just a point about removing blood, aren't you supposed only to use cold water as hot water 'sets' it?
