Yes, my reaction was pretty much the same. We are all in a learning process and as someone who sees themself as male, 100% homosexual, I have found myself in a learning curve as some students have declared themselves to be non-binary, pan sexual etc. sadly, the straight world and press are now generally tolerant of gay and lesbian but the rest of the community is a challenge.

After 4 yrs away, I visited the un and spent four days with my oldest school friend, sat on his terrace overlooking the Atlantic and remembered, relived the highs and lows of 50 yrs friendship, of lost friends, friends lost to AIDS, our school friend HIV+ for 35 years - a real survivor. Such moments validate life. thank you mr V, again you have got me thinking.

V thoughtful. With the countdown to retirement starting I have to decide, your key word here, for me. Nice work mr V

The great thing about anthologies is that IF you take them seriously and read tales whose genre isn’t your usual taste then it can be a real pleasure. This story of Wyatt and Virgil is a great example. It is beautifully written, delicately paced, and rich in character. Don’t worry if you are not a western fan, this is a universal tale of discovery. Excellent

Hi. Just rewatched a programme on Charles’ eco garden in Highgrove House. I think his pioneering work (ridiculed by so many) will be carried on by many others. If we forget the soap opera dramas this man is a great figure for the environment and it’s protection.

Many thanks for your in memoriam, Mark. I’m almost 65 and have just heard the words “God Save the King” only it’s not Granger’s officers but real life. What a great scene with the stupid envoy. As Oscar Wilde said, “sometimes it is not only a pleasure to speak one’s mind but also a duty!” I can feel this journey drawing to a close. Yarmouth isn’t so far away…. Unless a tropical storm hits the North Sea to keep Granger waiting, thanks you so much, Mark 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

So agree with centexhairysub (I so love the name!), okay it is possible that Z**h was nicer today. Can it last,though. Yes, I have a soft spot as well for Alaister - perhaps he will be Harvard bound, ummm as ever, thank you Mark as I enjoy a day off. Kids started back to school yesterday and today it’s a holiday in the town. Only in Spain….

A really thought-provoking analysis. Thanks. 🤗

I’ve decided that a heroic death is no longer an option for Z**h. He needs to be disposed of, pain an optional extra… 👿👿👿👿👿👿

Good Guys Do Date Bad Boys, After All
Gary L commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in Good Guys Do Date Bad Boys, After All
Good news, I suppose. As I predicted, I got it a week after gov allowed kids not to wear masks in class…… my brother-in-law has been ill for 2 months although 3 vax.. still, time to read GA and chill. Hugs ( with safety distance) from Spain Xxx -
I was a bit luckier. Although my died died suddenly aged only 56, my mother survived him by many years and in her eighties began to regale us with stories of being nine when the war started, the naughty things she got up to , But I never kissed an American!, etc. thank you for writing this piece. It’s got me thinking 🤔

Prompt# 80 The Beauty of the Dream
Gary L commented on W_L's story chapter in Prompt# 80 The Beauty of the Dream
Another session showing off your skill. This was spooky. (BTW, my brother-in-law was an incredible sleepwalker. He once got out of bed, went downstairs sleepwalking went into the kitchen, put a chair on a table, climbed up and took out the lightbulb 💡 Totally unaware. My sister was pretty scared!) -
What Mancunian said!

Prompt # 70 -Song in the Wind
Gary L commented on W_L's story chapter in Prompt # 70 -Song in the Wind
A great and thought-provoking use of the prompt. And the end is perfect. I’m no writer of fiction but as a reader I really like your style a lot. Keep working at it please! -
Good Guys Do Date Bad Boys, After All

Hope you get away with just light symptoms- it’s a bummer this COVID thing 🤗 -
As advertised by the author, this is not the usual mega saga but a 4,000 word piece. CJ, Ozzie and Liebe are back in DC after Mexico finished so badly. The three densely-packed chapters are a valid piece of writing in their own right but together they show us passing on to the importance of future plans. all is written by a master of plotting and characterization, who else but don Carlos H. Essential reading for his many, many fans. good one, Carlos
