    Madrid

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Madrid

    What a treat to come home to! And Calatayud? Scorching hot nothingness in the middle of nowhere in the summer months, and a tad cold in winter. I almost feel sorry for her ladyship…. fun but also disturbing chp. What a mess Cardona has made.

    Adams vs. Lowell

    A great feel good chp but also showing Travis as he matures. V enjoyable, indeed. Thank you, Mark. ps On a slightly different route from El Ferrol to Madrid than Granger in another tale. The A6 motorway supposedly didn’t exist back then, however the road surface seemed to be 18th century as we bounced around the potholes…

    Does Jeremy travel overseas to redo apartments? Mine needs a makeover!

    You want yoyo, @Kitt? Today a glorious 23°C (low 70s F) in Galicia, photos in my Instagram; tomorrow we go 300 m south with max 8°C (too cold to think in °F!) at 4,000ft on plateau N of Madrid, then 250 miles east to the balmy Mediterranean. Me thinks the dogs will be confused. I have my Irish sweater ready for tomorrow!

    Solid recommendation from me, too. My only complaint is that my glowing comment from yesterday didn’t get uploaded!

    Chapter 6

    One of mine, too but the tree spirit story moved me to grieve for the non- human world around us. In @Mikiesboy we have one of the current stars of GA. Love you both 😚

    There might be a voodoo doll marked for Sydney……… 😂

    I’m still confused re grandfather’s axe! But I’m pretty tired after a journey to the ‘Coast of Death’ today! (look up Muxía) And as for mentioning the Floral Dance, I will be getting my voodoo dolls out if I hear it in my head tonight.

    This is a great recommendation, @Cia. it is an exquisite tale of humanity’s need to respect our world, told through the story of an uprooted tree. It is a jewel.

    qn 1: it depends of the level of the title but as a minimum they become ‘the honorable’ for boy up until sons of marquesses when they become ‘’Lord Gary Lysaght” , for example; for girls. They get ‘Lady Melania” from an earlier stage. All except the male heir who gets an honorary subsidiary title, if there is one. qn 2 NO. ( nor does the gay husband of a titled person even though married qn 3 in the hands of our esteemed author! Except for legal proceedings in the uk. Aussie rules are for the Aussies 😜

    Another really fun chp. Love how this is going!

    25k words of utter delight. Raunchy, funny, surprisingly tender and a dream ending. A perfect short story. Well done!

    With nuclear warheads, as well? Watching the (totally unbiased) news last night here in Spain I learned that France is the only nuclear power in Europe. Apart from little, old GB, there is the small matter of Russia….

    Chapter 4

    Gary L commented on Boy Mercury X's story chapter in Chapter 4

    Wow! My stay in a Philippe S hotel in Miami Beach wasn’t as exciting! Sterile, white room, with a shower that flooded the whole bathroom every day. But oh, the green apple made all the difference! a really fun story with human pain towards the end. Sad it finishes tomorrow. thank you!

    If only it still were. Nelson and Granger must be turning in their graves. And poor Earl St Vicent, if he knew dockyard workers only did a 9-5 working day ……

    My occasional visits to the aptly named ‘Why Not’ club in the early eighties in Paris had rather better results ☺️ and a wonderful phrase: Je n’aime pas le Back Room…..

    Greetings from a very rainy Galicia and El Ferrol! By car on pretty good motorways it is a long day’s drive from Madrid to The North west. My back was killing me but going by carriage, my goodness. An excellent, evocative chp. Thank you mark. @drpaladin tells us there are fourteen months of peace, I fear for @PrivateTim‘s mental state when we calculate how many chps till Granger is back on the deck of a frigate!

    Hugely enjoyable story. Sadly, I had to look up what a ‘flat white’ was. I was disappointed!

    A friend flies to San Francisco with his toy boy in May. Thinking of a treat he rang BA to ask about cost of upgrading to Business class. $9000 each, each way. They are staying in cattle class!

    Nothing like a great read to cheer one as the rain bounces off the roof of your holiday rental. A v satisfying chp which will mean going back over earlier parts to get everything as clear as Robert allows!!! v enjoyable start to the day.

    Again, perfectly put. Now just cross your fingers as I try to work out what happens to my heroes in the next story. Uff. 😧
  24. Gary L
    Perfectly put. I’ve never read these authors but I have read some really great stuff on this site, so as a reader I’m content. As a budding author I have to accept that things go slowly. I too don’t want to do certain content, not rejecting those who do, but it ain’t me!

    I had the great fortune to be taught at university by some radical feminists- they opened my eyes and ears… if still alive they would cry at what is happening for women’s rights.
