    We have some ace Nordic socks which are wonderful protection against the Spanish stone floor chill factor. Great to have cool floors in the summer heat but in the (relatively) freezing cold of 14°C my tiny feet are frozen! we hade ice and frost on car windscreen last week something that happens once a decade or so……

    Christmas plans

    Gary L commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Christmas plans

    A great story of people moving forward, even Therese !!!, whilst others remain blinded by their self-righteousness. A part from Ralph’s parents everyone grows in this tale. thanks

    My tutor was shameless! I was his last ever student and he used to sit in his 15th-century study with a large Cuban cigar reminiscing rather than teaching me…. But his prose was exquisite…

    A bit harsh, perhaps, but authors like @Robert Hugill do make it seem effortless when I’m sure it isn’t. I remember my tutor telling me decades ago that every evening before working on his latest book he would read a chapter of PG Wodehouse to be inspired by his style. A strange choice for a medieval historian, perhaps! 🤔

    Hope things turn out for you. Tough times. I too have liver issues mainly caused by 50 years of treatments for colon, which is now great but liver ain’t. 🤗

    This was really well known and used for many decades as I grew up….. haven’t used it since coming to Spain, though…… 🤭

    If nobody told you in 2024 that you, @Robert Hugill, are “simply the best”, let me tell you in 2025 as I catch up with your prolific publishing! Can’t wait to see Brian and Gordon again. They are my favourites. 🤗

    Fucking Thor

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Fucking Thor

    I know what my reaction to it was in Spain - ohhhhh sh*ttttttttt. Salary cuts, 8% increased hours, company life insurance policy eliminated, 100% healthcare coverage gone, and mortgage up to 12%……. Oh for their millions..

    Moving on

    Gary L commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Moving on

    I suddenly remember the old disco hit line: “last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart”, for me it was a therapist, for others finding true love. For my students in UK (*) who had been abused by priests, strangers, parents etc., they needed that outside help when other relationships couldn’t handle such things. Yet for others, human altruistic love was enough. (*) I taught courses in Sexual Ethics and there was always someone hovering after certain units….

    In total agreement with @Summerabbacat’s summary and especially with his final comment, “stellar” indeed.

    I totally agree with my learned colleague! I’m a bit behind with the two stories but this chp is so well-written. There are so many lines I wish I could have created. Green with envy of @Robert Hugill’s talent.

    And here in Valencia the weather is ridiculously nice. Walked on sea front with Criminals 001and 002, with tight security force of course. Temperature was 25°C, nearly 80°F. 30 beach volleyball courts in use. 32°C in car……. and climate change doesn’t exist? It should be 15° and pissing down in January here. So sad to read of the terrible fires.
