Today I took my 34 year old son to Hospital for an operation on his hand under general anaesthetic.
I was up at 5am and spent the day waiting at the hospital until he was released around 3pm.
It wasn't all bad, though. I got to spend some 6 hours in peaceful solitude with my laptop working on my latest chapter!
Warm Summer rain at any time of the day.

I am wondering why there is so much anger and sadness around at the moment.

That's a profound statement, Keith, and I AM sure that you are not.
Today I am feeling a little sorry for myself. Whilst trimming a hedge with a petrol powered trimmer, the handle slipped in my hand and the blades hit my knee.
Fortunately, the safety brake operated but I now have three perfect impressions of the teeth carved into the flesh just above my left knee cap.
It isn't deep or serious but it did bleed quite a bit and it stings. Oh, and I was wearing jeans which were, amazingly, not damaged!

I think I need caffeine so a strong double espresso, please.

Mint chocolate provided it contains more than 85% cocoa.

WYR eat Tiramisu or Carrot cake?
Summer, although I have no problem with rain.

Rocky Mountaineer or The Ghan?
Since I haven't seen The Night Gallery I will go with The Twilight Zone.

Mermaid man or Superman?
This has nothing to do with the previous post and sincerely wish you well, Maryruth.

Wintery. I love snow.

As a moderator, I had the great pleasure of verifying 'Black Dog' by DearStarling and it really is a fascinating and very well written series.
I am sad to say that she has not returned to SS since writing this because it really is worthy of greater attention.

Unfortunately, we are haemorrhaging members at a great rate now and we really need to turn this around.

I would agree to an extent. Since my stories are counted in the hundreds, even 2500 would be an unlikely achievement.


It would appear that I underestimated myself. The first chapter of 'The Nurses' has now exceeded 2500 reads. I am stunned, humbled and yet proud, all at the same time.
