“Looks a good one” is what my brain told my fingers to write…..

An enjoyable read. I found it hard to get things clear at the beginning and welcomed the later names to tell us pov had changed. im confused as how Logan fell off - inexperience and not knowing his way around? good stuff

Insomniac provoked stress led me to find this story. Intriguing tales to be shared on the route to Hawaii. Loads a good one, @P. E. Knapp
-
A beautifully elegantly-written story. Well done @Connectwriter!

I attended many years ago a talk by the then Chief Rabbi in UK. Once phrase comes back to me, triggered by your first sentence: “Civilisation is passed down from one generation to the next by the gossamer thread of memory.”

Last days in Aragón visiting the amazing Sierra de Guara and its “canyons”. Not USA dimensions but truly beautiful. Have a look on Google. Back to the horrors of Valencia on Sat and then Monday I’m off to find a trainer for the most disobedient weinerdog in history. Greta is so naughty and loving a holiday home with an open garden. Back in the apartment all that will be history. I have a week to train her before the other weinerdog, Lilibeth, will be arriving. (for lovers of cute dachshund photos see my insta account garylysaght)

I’m firmly in denial! But the holiday snaps have had to be edited v carefully….

Another intriguing treat from @Mark Arbour! Could he be the person with the greatest imagination linked together with historical details? A fascinating chp to be teased over by the “Granger experts”….. thanks, Mark

Yep, plus a lunch from Hell before hand. Loads of great comments from the lovers and haters, plus more balanced ones in between. Should Will have let the venom of JJ’s comments roll over him? Could he have done that? Will’s moral world is still very much black and white. There is little grey to soften his reactions. Overall, I think that Will is going to need professional help and that “Jays” probably needs to be admitted somewhere special. I can’t see Kris coping with him. But this is Arbourland, so who knows what our dearest author has planned for his characters - and readers - to suffer…… Amazing stuff, Mark.

My Mancunian Nan had a saying when things were getting a bit too much, “This will end in tears.” I fear Tim is heading there…… a very enjoyable story. Thank you, @Mark Ponyboy Peters, very much

That really is a tough blow. We were adopted by an abandoned half weinerdog who followed my husband around the village and then to the door…. 17 years later we had to say goodbye as dementia made her scared to be alone. But seven is just cruel. My mum lost her last dachshund when he was 5 and swore never again, it was so painful for her. Now two years on from saying goodbye to Fosca, and with me retired last month, the first of two mini weinerdogs has arrived. My life is upside down, I’ve spent a fortune, the flat is a disaster but it feels good. Will I say the same when the second one arrives in three weeks? With a big hug from Spain.

@CassieQ, Ive just reread one or two of the SA stories and thoroughly enjoyed your little gem. Personally, I’m not a cat fan, but they seem to love me and jump straight on to my lap and start to work their claws! That said, Greta our 3-month-old weinerdog, has teeth like a piranha and no part of our bodies is safe 😱 seriously, well done and expect to see a load of likes and comments as I hit your back catalogue. Cheers

So close to a gas fire is not good news… we need your summaries and pointed analysis 🧐

Cary Grant could act, Jeff S could only pose…. Hopeless “actor”… makes Tthrumph look a cert!
-
totally agree. It is an art form which James has in spades. excellent!
-
An excellent analysis, thank you!
-
Thank you so much @Cia and the GA authors for a great 2024 SA edition. A huge pleasure. 🤗

No way!

If you know his other writings then you know you are in for a challenging, but ultimately rewarding read. @Mikiesboy has come back with a journey into and out of a 21st-century Dante’s Hell. A hell in which there is no gratuitous violence, much of Matthew’s suffering is implied rather than described, which made it scarier, in a way, for me. I had to take a short break but came back intrigued as to how things would turn out. You will be as well. A triumph, nothing more, nothing less Well done, this is a work of a mature writer.

Having himself been on a cruise last season, it should not have been a surprise that @Mark Arbour was the secret author of this cruise ship tale. Furthermore, the quality of the writing and lashings of humour makes this a typical Arbour piece. at one level it’s about the arrival of two couples on board a cruise ship and how they start to interact. At another level, we see the inner stresses and strains in their respective relationships. Enough said, it’s a very funny story with all four men learning a lot if they are to reach a happy landing a week later. “All aboard!”, this is a good cruise.

Many congratulations to you great authors and many thanks. As a keen member of your reading public I have to say it has been both fun and a challenge, in some cases, to read you all. ps I’m kicking myself now after @Mark Arbour told us he had been on a cruise… argh. But I have to publically congratulate @leshwar for such a wonderful, wonderful story. It was so moving for me, thank you
