    They most certainly do! could v easily be British (or Queenslanders?) Climate change is a grim reality here. Spain is number one on world list of countries most likely to become deserts.

    Really hope the holiday is going well. You choose the better part of the Mediterranean for your hols, here in w med it’s damp, cloudy and showers which leave the car covered in dirt. And this is a great read regardless of where we are. Awaiting Natasha’s entrance with great interest 😆

    The descriptive language is exquisite and draws the reader into each scene. A delight to read.

    This Anglo-Irish guy is 100% with you…. Even if you thought I was Canadian, which would be an honour…… 😂

    If Imsay I’m in the same time zone as Davide, will that convince you? 😆

    I was about to say that I was born in Manchester…. But checked and, of course, there are a few Manchesters in Canada 😱as well.

    Sorry Jason, I’m 50% Irish and 50% English. I have all of the character defects of both and few of the nice ones, if that makes sense. 🤗

    Can a grammatically correct sentence begin with “and”?!?!?! My Grammar school masters would turn in their graves (unless they are 110 or more). 🤭 As for old, we had one teacher who began at the school before WWII, left for 5 years as a soldier and who came back afterwards. Underneath the rugby pitches was an entire system of classrooms where classes were taught during the Battle of Britain. God, I m being a bore, sorry.

    Great topic to raise. Now retired, but I could always detect a student’s ’English as a foreign language’ essay written by AI by the correct use of semicolons. They were clever enough to set the English level but not the punctuation. However, the days of students writing an essay at home are surely over. I think I have read something about the use of AI by authors here but @Myr is the expert to advise us. Personally, I think it stinks if undeclared. But hey, I’m an old bore.

    Great start to what looks like being a really good story from the pen of one of my favourite authors here.

    Pericles & PJ

    Gary L commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Pericles & PJ

    Me too! And it is an excellent chp. Such good characterisations. As happens every time, Robert’s latest story just takes over and becomes a new favourite.

    Great advice for many of us. Thank you.

    Here in Spain the Tax Agency is, believe it or not, the most respected of government services. Given said agency is in receipt of ALL your bank details, you press a button and it completes your tax return. If you are owed money it takes about 5 days to receive it. If you owe money you have months to pay. I have to add overseas income and it recalculates things. I paid €45 for an accountant to check everything and she found a big error on my last ever employer details. Also married couples can decide to be taxed separately or together.

    My oldest friend from school spent 40 yrs as a top UK employment lawyer. His (sadly) edited tales of top firms without a clue how to handle disputes were amazing. I hope Simon gets well paid! love this story a lot.

    Huge hugs and thank you SO much for your feedback on my stories. You are the best! 🥰

    I didn’t really understand the dynamics of the employment/labour issue and it didn’t work for me. That said, the budding relationship between Martin and Nathan was a delightful, if painful (😣) read!

    Snow is the price you pay for living in one of the greatest countries in world! Here sun cream is becoming a necessity!

    Gary L commented on Soren Kraft's story chapter in Chapter 1

    For this alone, I’m impressed: a war zone of wheezing treadmill virgins The language is wonderful, thank you!
