Maybe an early gin for me this lovely spring Thursday afternoon.
Oh and I will certainly take a raspberry lemonade cupcake Laura. And weren't the All Blacks good on the weekend, way more impressive than the Wallabies.
Now I see I have a lot of reading to do, Darkside, Greenman, WannabeWordsmith, Vanessa, sandy2moon and Simplicity. All followed authors who I love who have posted in the last 24 hours. And I want to finish Curvy's Tobias Series and start techgoddess Luca and Katherine's series.
And maybe write again. Thanks so much to those of you who commented on my poem, it is so rare for me to write poetry and as you have been so kind, I may do it again. Cheers all.
Hi all, coffee for me this Wednesday lunchtime, as I am supposed to be working.
Thanks so much Vanessa for your kind words about my poem and to others who have commented so kindly on it. I have only written a handful of poems, but with this generosity I am inspired to write more.
But first there is the serious matter of the potential Vanessa competition, I am so entering.
To get ahead of you other literary butterflies, I have a horror story (surprise, surprise,) the Loch Nessa monster to be precise. Nessa as a kind of Wickerwoman which will get Under Your Skin. There might be some Unkindness of Ravens but Scotland is a Wild Country only suitable for Dog Soldiers; no Urban Ghost Story this, what with The Dead Outside including Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi snatching bodies. Is that the right amount of Scottish horror movie allusions, Hannah, or a tad over the top.
Now when it cums to the sex scene, well all those druid sacrifices throwing nubile virgins from The Road to Anywhere into the Loch are key, as they turned out to be Nessa's Lesbian Pussy from Dimension X. They won't be spending Eternity in Your Arms, butt hers. It is not widely known that Nessa has tentacles, which this intrepid writer will foreshadow turn out to be the perfect accessory for a lesbian orgy.
Like Vanessa does, opportunities for Scottish humor will be taken (What is worn under that kilt? Madam it is all in perfect working order.) The judges are sure to be impressed with the classical allusions to The Scottish Play. Nessa has a pet Scottish terrier called Spot. Though when Nessa gets all Lady Macbeth and says, "Out out damn spot," it is because she is a Prom Slut and doesn't want a dog in her menagerie of pussies.
Dear God I my have outstayed my welcome. Ping is moaning, "enough, enough." Perhaps another coffee to go and I will get back to work.
Have a great Wednesday.
Evening all, almost 7 pm Tuesday for those that are behind the times. I would adore a Chardonnay to start the evening.
Seems I have missed much the last couple of days, been busy but will be catching up on my reading. Would recommend Vanessa's poems to those that haven't read them yet.
Hope all is good in the falling North, the Southern spring continues to be warm. The beach is a calling though the swimming is a handful of weeks away.
Next competition? I have just regathered my breath from the last.
Well done to all the authors of a fabulous group of stories!
Congrats to Saucymh, Dark_Apollo, Milik_the_Red and the other runner ups.
Well done to Nicola at the team behind another wonderful competition.
Evening all, I hope you Thursday goes well. Mine did and it is almost Friday in this Great Southern Land. I will have a beer to end the day.
Spring has been interrupted by a deluge these last two days. But sadly the rain fell mostly on the coast and not inland on NSW's drought stricken farm land. Even in Sydney we are on Level One water (limited garden watering) restrictions and it is not even summer.
The playoffs in the AFL and NRL continue, as if anyone outside of Australia knows what I am talking about. And it is almost time for the World Cup banter to start, the first game (oddly enough Japan versus Russia) kicks off tomorrow. I am expecting a bit of interest from our North American friends, after all Canada and the US are in the finals. I see you googling, checking what sport I am talking about.
I am so falling behind on my reading and I apologise to those (Luca and Techgoddess in particular) whose series I have not yet got to. Have a good day, after my beer I am heading to bed
Congratulations and well done Rachel.
You are a gem, so supportive to relatively new writers. So well deserved.
Afternoon all, well at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon I could sure use a G&T.
Oh Rump, our discussion on the Saints earlier in the week. The salary cap for AFL clubs is about 13 million, which compares to NFL of 180 odd. So yes the finances are way different. Interestingly it isn't so much the crowd size, but the TV and other financial rights. AFL has to compete with three other football codes in a market of under 30 million people. And the Melbourne Saints finished 14th in an 18 team competition and didn't make the playoffs which are happening now. So I wish the New Orleans one more success.
Have a great break Curvy. Hope you all have a great weekend. I must fond time to catch up on all the wonderful stories and poems. But the garden takes priority this weekend, spring growth and all that.
Afternoon all, it is Friday and I need a drink. I will start with a G&T and then we will see where we go.
I have been around and about, busy reading the many excellent stories and poems that are in the competition and the others many of you have published. And I turn my back for a day or so and more stories appear. Thanks for all those who have read my competition entry.
It continues to get warmer day by day usually in the low to mid twenties and I am almost at the point of extracting bikinis from the back of my closet.
Without wishing to reopen things, hugs Grace, I cannot imagine you mistreating anything. Congrats Milik and Simplicity in celebrating three years.
Well Curvy and Susie and maybe Laura (and anyone else who knows what I am talking about) when do we start the World Cup banter?
At the risk of ejection from the bar, one day, can one of you lovely people from the USA explain why college football is so popular. I can understand the NFL (understand in the sense of why not what, the rules seem a bit obscure) but why uni football? I have no idea for instance what current state my old uni's, Sydney University, sports teams are in.
You all have a great weekend.
Afternoon all, I will have a coffee this Tuesday lunchtime.
I know this is an erotic site, but lawnmower porn is a bridge too far. Though to be fair the pics are a cut above Ping's lawnmower joke.
Those beers do look inviting, but with the pic posted at 6 am the timing didn't feel right.
Read another handful of competition entries which I really enjoyed. Great standard of writing in what I have seen so far. TCCarlson's Lips or Lipstick? could use some more votes to get above the 10 threshold.
