Please tell me this world exists. You’ve been there, right? You know someone who has? No? Well, thank heaven you’ve imagined it and are prepared to share it with us

Poor Cathy, she is so confused:-) ‘frog’s fart of a fairy’ cracked me up. And saved by a seagull…..
You are so entertaining, Em. I hope you keep this going for awhile.

Warm wishes to you!

When I got to the word “heaving” I started to grin and wondered if this story was going to go another route……

But then I was simply swept up in it, forgot about sex, and grinned the whole way through. Intriguing world you’ve created. Can’t wait for the next installment!!

Humorous and wild! Aghast at the mention of milk and holding the notes out as if they were dead rats…love it!

Brilliant stuff. I love the many emotions that tears can express. We humans really have limited means to express our feelings.

Excellent. Good thing his luck is holding out, but that poor gull sure didn’t have any good luck. I’m looking forward to the next installment.

I just read this on a nice Saturday and I deeply enjoyed it. I am definitely looking forward to next Friday!

Loved it!

If it isn’t giving too much away, can you tell us if this story flowed from your fingers like water from the tap (which is how it seems to me) or if you make many rewrites? And how do you “know” these people so well that you can return to them each week as someone even I recognize? Is there a secretly mapped out otherworld that you draw from? I’m so curious!

Wonderful. The gull – made me smile. Please let this story go on for a long series of Fridays. It lets the weekend start early. (And I am glad I belong to the civilized people. )

Argh, is she going to get the guy back?!
Not that he deserves it, but maybe he’ll get..er.. lucky…

These are great fun, and I will have a big mug of milky tea when I get home, in Cathy’s name
