My adult life has seen great periods of unemployment interspersed with soul destroying jobs working in factories. The one job I enjoyed was working at a local theme park.
I am married, as mention above, with two kids Calum and Tammy. My son sadly takes his imagination from me. His sister though is more like her mother both in looks and temperament, so don’t get in her bad books.
I have always enjoyed writing but have other...more


I’m on holiday until Wednesday because of the Queen’s jubilee. Sixty years on the throne is quite an achievement. Though I’m not a royalist I wouldn’t say I was against them either. At times I would even say I was for them especially Princess Anne as she supports the Scottish rugby side. As you can tell from that statement I do love watching my national side and it is great for us to have a roy... read more »

Monique A lot of those early sci-fi writers foretold today, including Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke. Now Hollywood filmmakers seem to be at it.


message 22: by Monique (last edited Apr 03, 2010 11:41pm)

Monique Thanks for the invite. That's a great book you're reading. My favourite of his was The Illustrated Man. I noticed you're on the west coast of Scotland. I used to spend a lot of time around Torridon.

Victoria Roder HiBilly,
Thanks for the recommendation for Stephen King's The Stand. It has been so many years since I read it. I always list it as my favorite book, I'll have to check out this version.
Thanks,
Vicki


message 13: by Kate

Kate Gould You just have to give her a little time to build up some trust. You could lure her out of wherever she's hiding with a little sweet treat then pick her up. She probably just needs to get used to being handled. It took my two a while because they came from a pet shop and had hardly been handled.


message 12: by Kate

Kate Gould Hi Billy, yes I'm a great rat fan. My two were very shy when I first got them and it took a few weeks for them to even come out of their cage for a proper exploration of their new home, but now they're cheeky little madams who scoot around wherever they please.
