    @Summerabbacat seriously? I had no idea! That'll make Taita very special then!
  2. Mark Ponyboy Peters

    @Summerabbacat I have no idea where you find all these artists and songs that I've never heard of, but it sure is entertaining checking them out!

    @Summerabbacat "a story centred around the aging disco diva?" yeah ... nah !!! LOL And as for Helen ... yeah, we will learn more about her. For instance, she has a tortoiseshell cat named 'Taita'. 'After the Wilbur Smith character? Why Taita?' Rick asked. 'Because he didn't have any balls either!' Helen replied. There you go ... just one little tease for you!

    -- Epilogue -- ‘Are you ready yet?’ I heard Adam call from the other room. The answer to that question was no, of course. I was currently in the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror, naked, and running a finger along the five-inch scar that ran across my stomach. It was a pale line against my lightly-tanned skin, just below my rib cage on the left, and just below my heart, and all the while I was thinking about the strange twists and turns that our journey through life can take.

    @Summerabbacat and yes ... To Know Him Is To Love Him is brilliant. Probably one of the reasons I picked it up in the first place to be honest.

    @Summerabbacat Linda could sing the bloody phone book and win a Grammy for it! I don't know of anyone who has such a broad repertoir (sp???) of albums across different genres. Didn't she turn her hand to opera at one point as well??? Amazing talent!!!

    -- Chapter Thirty-eight -- By the time six o’clock came around, just an hour away from when the parade was due to commence, Whitlam Square was like I had never seen it before. There were crowds everywhere, all intent on trying to find a good vantage point, while floats had also started lining up in College Street closer to the starting point, to be ready to roll once the official activities had been completed. Off to one side a stage had been erected, with portable seating alongside an

    @Summerabbacat yes, I do have to admit that Kylie looks hot hot hot in this video. As for those other creatures . . . even Katie from the Cross would be hotter than them! lol

    @Summerabbacat oh yes ... one I about as rapt in as I am her sister! Thank you for sharing!

    -- Chapter Thirty-seven -- The city was really buzzing when we finally stepped off the bus just near Hyde Park. It was a glorious morning and there were people everywhere, with many of them heading for Whitlam Square and the start of Oxford Street, most likely with thoughts of grabbing a good spot from which they could view the parade later in the day. ‘Have you been into the city very often?’ I asked the boys as we stood watching the stream of people pass us by. They both shook t

    @dboggs9700 thank you very much!

    @Summerabbacat yerp . . . your imagination is off and running again! Nice call on Esme though! 😋

    @MastaMak hmmmm ... but there wasn't a slice of bacon in sight! I will admit that I have a soft spot for pancakes and maple syrup for a cafe breakfast ... but if that's not available (and it often isn't, to be fair) then I'll settle for eggs Benny! lol As for take away / takeout, yes, I probably agree that we Aussies prefer the former ... but I'm hearing the latter more and more these days ... I'll blame American tv for that!

    -- Chapter Thirty-six -- I was still thinking about that look on Benevetti’s face as Helen and I huddled around her computer to look at the discs we had brought back from the Imperial. That it made me a little nervous was something of an understatement, but surely not even he would be callous enough, or stupid enough, to try anything just because I was the new kid on the block and might be cramping his style. I had seen it before in some of the other stations I had been posted to in my

    -- Chapter Thirty-five -- ‘What’s wrong?’ Adam asked, sounding quite concerned. ‘Didn’t you see him?’ I answered. ‘Who?’ ‘Corcoran! That’s who sent me the drink!’ In a flash Adam was on his feet and looking towards the bar area, then looking around the room. I stood and joined him moments later. ‘Is there something wrong?’ asked Adam’s boss, Nathan. ‘I’m not quite sure,’ Adam replied. ‘We’ll be back in a minute.’ Together we headed for the bar, dodging our

    Oh . . . well . . . you might be pleased to know then, that there are at least TWO new Rick Cooper mysteries in the planning stages! 😉
  25. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    @Summerabbacat oh yes... one way or another ... Corcoran is going down! 😉
