    Chapter 45

    Don't be disillusioned. Forty five years of monogamy here... and hopefully a lot more to come.

    Chapter 45

    I've loved the whole journey, and even made side trips to read all the other stories from LittleBuddhaTW. Looking forward to lots more but I have one request - don't break Tommy or Jonah's heart 😄

    Chapter 44

    I feel quite sad that the last chapter is coming. I'm already looking forward to Medellin and the second book with Nick and Jack.

    Chapter 44

    Is that like a proctologist?

    Or maybe a gentleman caller of her own?

    Chapter 44

    My friend has been a vegetarian for 60 years and says he still misses bacon!
  7. OMG - I totally missed that. 😄

    Chapter 41

    Ughhh... I'm having the vapours. I may have to lay on the sofa with the back of my hand to my forehead.

    Chapter 42

    I didn't get that. I felt Tommy was mature enough, and confident enough, to deal with Jonah without being bulldozed.

    Chapter 41

    I was hoping they would fall from a rooftop cocktail bar but had forgotten to make a will, leaving Jack independently wealthy. Or a horrific car crash. Or skydiving. I'm not fussed.

    Chapter 40

    Two things I'm not clear about. Nick's Mum seems to be avoiding/ignoring the obvious crisis. I wonder if she is just assuming, from the little she sees, that the psychiatrist will sort it all out in the meantime, or eventually. Secondly "She said Jack’s insurance wouldn’t cover an in-home aide" I'm not sure how that would work in the US but doesn't Nana have the means to pay for a cleaner and gardener? Not even live-in, just someone to take some of the chores over. Or maybe Nick is just Cinderella 😀

    Chapter 40

    I feel light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully it's not Jonah on a motorbike.

    Chapter 39

    I have spent the day battling with Spanish bureaucracy and I'm now drinking a large gin. I suspect I know who is to blame. 😜

    Pero mucha gente hablan Espanol! Although in fairness I'd prefer to stick with the dog.

    Chapter 39

    Reminds me of a friend who lived in London, in a really rough area but there was never any street crime, car thefts or violence. A nice, leafy, peaceful street. Turned out his next door neighbour was the biggest drug dealer in South London and he didn't want any trouble on his doorstep. He was really nice bloke apparently! The only drawback was the Police would turn up once in a while at 5am as if he'd be stupid enough to keep drugs in his home.

    Chapter 39

    I hated this chapter... and I loved this chapter. I hated what was happening but I loved how it was written. However, I do think we should band together, storm LittleBuddhaTW's house and find the last few chapters!

    Chapter 37

    Do it! We decided to drive (from Spain) on a Friday afternoon and left on Monday. It's a truly great city. One thing though, don't believe TripAdvisor when it says the best pastel de nata comes from a giant McDonalds-like 'factory' in the city. But that said, almost any other pastel de nata is worth the trip on their own.

    Chapter 37

    I'm sorry but my brain doesn't kick in this early. Maybe after another coffee.

    Chapter 36

    Oh no... now I'm even more nervous of posting my stories! 😜 What can I say? I'm a sucker for a bit of romance and a happy ending!

    Chapter 36

    For me, if I was Nick's Mum, I would point out that both the letters say nothing about Jack but speak volumes about the parents. The letters demonstrate the mean vindictiveness of his parents and their narcissism. Jack has been the target of this, not the cause. Easy enough for me to say of course.

    Chapter 35

    Is it Saturday yet?

    Chapter 34

    I'm happy with the current schedule. I get frustrated with stories on Nifty that post a new chapter after 6 months and we're expected to remember 27 characters, 3 sub-plots and 7 locations.

    Chapter 33

    God, those sound like really depressing statistics.

    Chapter 33

    Are the photos worthless because there is no proof who gave the beating?

    Chapter 33

    and it would only make their lawyer richer.
