  1. Beautifully done, Gary! I am sort of left wondering what happened to break them apart, but I suspect that had you gone on to explain that, it would have taken away from the beauty of the reminiscence that you were so careful in crafting.
  2. Well normally with me, after looking at a guy's face, the second place I look tends to be quite a bit lower than his chest.
  3. And maybe even for the unforeseeable future...
  4. They certainly do need a friend like Johnny. But it's possible that the Johnny in this particular story might eventually stop, consider the mental cost to himself of his continuing friendship with Sean, and decide to step back from him... And, who knows, perhaps in the next installment you will find out where Sean had been whilst in Tuam. You might even find out some of what he did, as well. (No promises that you will find out either of those two things, though.)
  5. Thanks for the comment, Geron. As I'm not one for giving out spoilers for my stories, all I can say is that you'll have to wait for a future chapter if you want to find out any more about his dad's feelings towards him. (Always assuming we meet his dad in this story again.)
  6. Were it not for the fact that, on a more careful second look, I can see a belt holding up his trousers, he really looks to me as though he's a merman just climbing out of the water. The interplay of the large water drops and finer sprays of water make his trousers look like they are actually scales. And we're all totally grateful to you for actually performing that kind act!
  7. If Kitt is talking about some of us here in this forum, I can't help but wonder... Who, exactly? Then again, it might be wiser of me not to ask.... Safe travels, duggie!
  8. Well mine say 20,009 now. And, once I post this reply, it'll say 20,010 😛
  9. Oh, woozer!! Look at this! Over 20,000 replies in this forum!
  10. It was a bank holiday weekend again, and I had spent Friday and Saturday nights at a bed and breakfast near Tralee in County Kerry on the southwest coast of Ireland. I'd picked up a cheap voucher for the B&B online, so had taken the opportunity to do some hill walking. Saturday had seen me standing on the top of Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest mountain. And an early start on Sunday had meant that I was able to summit Mount Brandon on the Dingle Peninsula, and still get home reasonably early
  11. Hey, Hunter! All good here. Just uploading my latest bit of writing, then will probably head to bed.
  12. And one must always listen to mother...
  13. You don't too badly in the laughs department yourself, Albert....
  14. You don't do too badly yourself, either, Albert!
  15. I so misinterpreted what you were saying there at first, Gary! I almost asked just what place (part) of your anatomy needs to have a sling so that you could carry it about....
  16. Hope that the server has kept a backup of your answers so far? And trust that, if it was a timed exam, the timing stopped as the server crashed, and recorded how much time you have left? Schlafen Sie gut und süße Träume, Bucket (Sleep well, and sweet dreams)
  17. And you were never one to be a shrinking violet, were you, Alberto?
  18. Awesome news, indeed!
  19. Hope all goes well, Albert.
  20. How ya doing, young Albert?
