@Slytherin Thank you!

@Geron Kees thanks, mate. Greatly appreciate your support!

Harbourside Media had an impressive operation, which we soon realised as Guy gave us the Five Minute Special. Behind the new administration area at the front of the old warehouse there were several studios, offices, production suites, make-up rooms and even a canteen. We met a few of the staff, who all seemed to be quite busy, while also watching a few minutes of something that appeared to be an advertisement being filmed in one of the studios. ‘We can do just about everything in-house

Thanks to the late night before, I didn’t wake as early the following morning as I had on the previous days, somehow sleeping through the sunrise and the usual early morning call of the nearby rooster, wherever it was that he lived. Instead, I was rudely awoken by the sound of a lawnmower, which seemed to have started up right outside the bedroom window, jolting me awake and causing me to spew forth a barrage of expletives which I usually reserved for later in the day. Glancing at the

Checked my email and saw the GA email after I saw your post this morning. Thanks for letting me know! Feeling a bit chuffed! 😉

Say what? I haven't seen that yet!!!

The remainder of the afternoon slipped by almost unnoticed, as the three of us sat in the shade of the trees in the backyard, discussing our plans and sipping cold drinks. Aaron stuck to soft drinks and fruit juice, and I joined him, while we managed to find some beers for Harry. At one stage when Aaron went for a pee break Harry asked what was up with my not having a beer, so I quickly explained Aaron’s situation and why he wasn’t drinking himself. Harry nodded, but said little, as Aaron w

It didn’t take us long to find some shorts, t-shirts and towels and start to make our way through the scrub to the beach. I had told Harry to pack some swimming gear, just in case, and when he emerged from his room wearing a pair of blue and pink boardies and a white t-shirt I breathed a sigh of relief. Somehow, I had imagined he would be a Speedos kind of guy, so I was grateful that, on this occasion at least, I was proved wrong. I couldn’t help but smile to myself as I led the way towards

Wow! Thank you all for your very thoughtful comments! Plenty of food for thought there! A lot of water will pass under the bridge between now and when the next story in the series will be completed (yes, it sort of, kind of, has been started! LOL), and while I appreciate all of your ideas, I do have some ideas of my own as to the direction this part of the story line is going to take. I can tell you this much . . . the safe house won't be in Thompsonville. I'm thinking that Macquarie Harbour is the more likely target, being a small country city with more facilities. Also, as big as Tony's heart may be, he and Aaron will want - and need - their own space, and not have a bunch of teens under their feet. At least Mac Hrbr will still be close enough for them to be hands on with the various programs. Anyhow, that's all for another story! We've got to find out how this one is going to end up first, haven't we? Thank you all so much for your support! As I've said before, it truly does mean a lot to me! ❤️

@pvtguy I'm pleased that you picked up on how Harry feels about Tony. 🙂

‘All good?’ Harry asked, once I had disconnected. ‘Yeah, he’s on his way,’ I replied, to which he gave a nod. Just then our waitress came to our table carrying a basket containing the garlic bread I had ordered. ‘Someone else is going to be joining us,’ I said to her, before she had the chance to leave us. ‘Would it be possible to add another meal to our order please?’ ‘Certainly. Would you like to see a menu again?’ ‘No, that’s okay. He only asked for a salad, or someth

No, that was the scones. But they also need jam!

Show and tell at the CWA! Could be a story in that! lol

What? Mot mum? Our reserved, church going, housewife and member of the CWA? Surely not? LMFAO

@Summerabbacat you don't have to worry too much about Harry . . . he's a good guy, really he is!

@centexhairysub yup ... just what I've said in the story (somewhere --- lol --- just can't recall if it's already been said or if it's in an upcoming chapter) !!!

@Summerabbacat @weinerdog I do have something in mind ... but it's not what you are thinking! LOL

@weinerdog it was just the other day I saw a news report about one escaping and being seen hopping through a neighbourhood in Texas!

I waited in the arrival lounge as Harry and the other passengers crossed the tarmac in the sunshine, walking towards the gate, then I had to wait a short while longer as the trolley with all the luggage was loaded and eventually wheeled into the building. By the time Harry had finally managed to retrieve his bag from the trolley I was waiting at the exit gate for him. We greeted each other warmly, as the old friends we were, and I took his bag from him to carry it to the truck, as we chatte

Haha @Summerabbacat ... I have been called many things in my lifetime, but that is a first!!! 😉 But thank you! I am honoured! And as for The Three Bears, just remember what Kieran's nick-name is, as bestowed on him by grandma ... K-bear ... I wonder if there's a back story there? LOL

The sound of my phone ringing jolted me awake, and as I opened my eyes in a dim room, with somebody beside me, it once again took me a few moments to realise exactly where I was. 'Are you going to get that?' I heard Charlie ask me, which quickly snapped me back to the present. 'Yeah. I guess I had better.' I heard him chuckle, but when I glanced his way he just grinned at me. Sitting up on the side of the bed I reached for my pants, in the pocket of which my phone was still ringin

@weinerdog she-ite! Now I'll have to think up something different!!!!!

He is educating us all @Tris

@Summerabbacat if always admired that kid ... and much more than his old man. Always reckoned they should have made a new Skippy series with him playing Sonny Hammond! lol

@Summerabbacat yeah ... don't tread on her while barefoot! lol
