“Mosquito? Nope.” What about a mosquito with a really bad attitude that’s sitting there on the wall hardly able to stay put because of the weight of blood it’s just scoffed out of your cheek just exactly where EVERYBODY will think it’s a spot, and planning just how to make its saliva more proteiny and anti-coagulanty and generally irritating.

” I literally wouldn’t kill a fly. Even a tiny one.” What about a mosquito?

Yes, welcome, Laure.

We’ve only been going a few days, but things are already warming up nicely, so stick around.

Really interesting reading, Richard. The name was familiar but I haven’t read anything by him. It’ unusal for me not to have at least sampled something by a historic fantasy writer. I can see what you mean about his writing being a bit Marmite. It was making me wince and laugh at the same time.

Yes! Lift-off. We have lift-off.

Whoo-hoo, as they say.

Aw, well – maybe we’ll have to go together next year if they do one! What is a Golden Egg workshop?! Sounds very children’s author, too!

Hi PB, hope you’re well

Cats have long memories, but they’re fickle. I’m sure you can buy back its affection somehow.

Cracking stuff. There ye go.

What’s the craic, WB?

Afraid I won’t have the time to get involved, Ath. But good luck to ye all.

Evenin’. I’ve just found that I can’t access this forum from work, where I could access the Cloud, but hey ho, such is life.
Congrats on the great news Philippa. Not the snail thing, that’s pretty horrible. But the book stuff. That’s all great.
I’ve got a lovely bottle of red wine here, if anyone’s around and fancies a glass.

Yay!
