stroganoff was lovely!
talking of blonde - just got sent a pic of me at 19 with naturally blonde hair. I looked so thin back then too. Want a giggle?
Sharon wrote: "talking of blonde - just got sent a pic of me at 19 with naturally blonde hair. I looked so thin back then too. Want a giggle?"You bet, if I can find the picture of me at 17 I'll send it to you.
Just sent it. Sorry my notifications seem to be down. Didn't realise you had responded
Sharon wrote: "Just sent it. Sorry my notifications seem to be down. Didn't realise you had responded"Mine have been down for weeks, I am just coming to the good bit on the prologue of HOD!
OH MY! Don't you look different, I like you with the blonde locks, haven't found my picture yet have a feeling it's upstairs.
Sharon wrote: "Cool. What do you think of the pic?"See above!
LOL I don't mind the figure but I do prefer the black hair on me
Sharon wrote: "LOL I don't mind the figure but I do prefer the black hair on me"There are women who'd kill for your blonde locks! lol Ana for one, that way she wouldn't look so much like the crack ho'!
LOL - this is very true but then she would have the same colour hair as Mrs Robinson!
Sharon wrote: "LOL - this is very true but then she would have the same colour hair as Mrs Robinson!"This is also true, but she is younger and prettier than Mrs Robinson! They've chosen the music for 50 shades the film - Coming down, The Dum Dum girls, is that a pun or what!
Sharon wrote: "Never even heard of them"It was on twitter the video is on You Tube!
Morning Guess what it's raining, again I'm going to end up with webbed feet if it keeps this up! Flaming June indeed, and officially 'summer' woohoo, roll on autumn it might have stopped raining by then!
I'm getting very bored with all the sex in 50 shades, though one comment made me smile - 'a Christian Grey wake up call'- I just call it the broomhandle!
MorningIt is raining here too. Just as I was leaving the house, it absolutely poured down. The frumpy 40 something who sits opposite me has just started Fifty Shades. SHe is a prude and dresses like she is in her 70's. Only into the first chapter and is not liking it already due to the amount of description. She didn't want to be left out when me and Fi are talking and giggling.
I did say they are at it like rabits in this second one!

Yeah but we don't need to hear about it all the time, some story would have been nice. I will hang on a few weeks before reading the last book, because if that is the same I will give up. Tell me it get's better!
Hold on a minute there is no description of sex in the first chapter! God help her when she gets to the nitty gritty, hope you have a defibrillator nearby!
Lol, Look on twitter I am being flirted with in French! Hope he has a 'big dictionary'!!****Time for an expresso I think!
LOL - that is exactly what me and Fiona said. Chapter 8 is where all the naughtiness starts and she is only on Chapter 1. I think she should give up now. I have not started book 3 yet, might have to at the weekend. I just know Fi will finish 3 and come in talking about it - LOL
Good morning
Raining here as well but I think it might brighten up. I must start 50 shades but I think I will get it on hubbys kindle

Think you will enjoy it Kerry. Plus getting it on kindle is a lot easier to carry around (over 500 pages).
I need to give up something in my life to make room for writing. Already gave up housework whate else do you suggest?
Sleep - that seems to work for me - hee hee!
Sharon wrote: "What are you like?"Alive and playful, he obviously wanted to play poor thing I floored him with my response, and all I said was that I always check the water's hot before I jump in. I'm afraid of cold water!
Oh no - I can't give up sleep. I am pants at wrtiting when I don't have enough - or pantser - is that a word?
Kerry wrote: "I need to give up something in my life to make room for writing. Already gave up housework whate else do you suggest?"Morning Kerry Bruce f Smith in Sydney needs French lessons, he wants to play on twitter!
When someone asked how I'd managed to complete my novel in five months my reply was I gave up everything that ended in 'ing'!
But that now I'd finished I would have to evict the spiders that had taken advantage of the situation, and find the bottom of my ironing basket! Err I still haven't re-commenced the ironing!
Kerry wrote: "Oh no - I can't give up sleep. I am pants at wrtiting when I don't have enough - or pantser - is that a word?"Err aren't you the English teacher? But no I don't think pantser is a word but I may be wrong.
I used to write at 4 in the morning until 5.30 and then go back to bed until 8 when I got up with Sophie for school.
I have a delightful 4hr journey each day where I write (sometimes).Speaking of which, just sent to poems of to be considered for publication!
Good luck with those poems Sharon.
What's ironing?
Yes I am an English teacher. If Shakespear can make up words then so can I - pantser is now a word.
I saw your twitter conversation. Think he is using google.

Probably, I wasn't! Oh you already gave that up, well that only leaves the 50 shades of 'ing' then doesn't it! That and working!
I checked no Shakespeare hasn't claimed 'pantser' as his so I guess that gives you the right to claim it as your own!
Thanks Kerry.I am being naughty here at work. We keep giggling about the other secretary only we are doing it via email. Jo just mentioned she is nearly up to Chapter 8 so she bought up again how she is not enjoying the book at the moment with too much detail. I don't mean to be mean but I really don't know how she has had 2 children.

Oh my isn't she about to get a shock when 50 shades of f****d up takes her in the red room!
Maybe she did it by mail order, or picked them up in Tesco's!
And good luck too!
LOL - that is terrible but oh so funny! Loved the prologue by the way!
I need a job where I can write and people think I am working. This teaching stuff gets in the way.
Can't give up working for a few more years yet. I have never ironed. I hated it right from the start so never did it.
Really have to get that book. I don't like too much explanation though. Not prudish but some things need to be left to the imagination for it to work.

Just picture yourself a Good Christian Grey - Like I chose either Chris Hemsworth or Simon Baker - it certainly helps, well it did me anyway!

Yeah me too, suggestive works so much better, and leave the reader something to imagine. I am reading it but getting very bored (no pun intended) with all the sordid details, I wish Ana would say I have a brain, or no and mean it!
I want to batter Ana to death with a used condom, stop being such a hussy!
Sharon wrote: "LOL - that is terrible but oh so funny! Loved the prologue by the way!"Great, it explains a bit without giving it all away, and leaves them thinking well if her mother killed Amelia who killed her and her brothers, was it Antoine/Antonio or Sebastian?
I totally agree, edge of the seat kind of stuff. Just what I need.
Sharon wrote: "I totally agree, edge of the seat kind of stuff. Just what I need."I need to tweak it a bit, to flow into the other and change a few sentences. order of words and that sort of stuff but other than that I am pleased with my effort. Now I can get on with chapter 23!
Sharon wrote: "Woohoo, can't wait ;o)"Steady girl, don't get too excited Jo will think you're have a Christian Grey moment!
I certainly need one here, it is so boring ;o)
Yeah I just did the washing up and now I have the potatoes to peel. Shepherds pie for lunch well Alain has had rice and pasta nearly all week and these Bretonmen really love their spuds!
Plus once its in the oven I can forget about it and go and have my shower!
I have a simple lunch, southern fried chicken breast with noodles, comfort food me thinks today.
Sharon wrote: "I have a simple lunch, southern fried chicken breast with noodles, comfort food me thinks today."Yep that's what I thought, and then I find I have no gas! Oh the joys of living in rural France. Good job I have a spare bottle in the garage, f*****g heavy too and then you have to master changing it too.
It took Alain a while to get used to me being so self sufficient, but like I said with the lazy SOB I was married too I didn't have a great deal of choice!

Ha ha - rural Spain is just the same, only my gas always seems to run out when I'm in the shower covered in soap and my husband is conveniently out. Oh and last week the electric was going on and off for hours at a time. Thank god for back up battery packs is all I can say!!
:-)

Fun here isn't it! Shepherds pie finally in oven, man still not arrived so I have a chance to unwind before he winds me up again.
Flaming June and eating winter warmers, it has rained non stop all morning we have a brief lull and I see sun and blue sky, it did that 20 minutes ago and then the heavens opened again. so I won't be putting my washing out to dry yet awhile!
Sounds stupid but we're crying out for rain here. We had a thunder storm the other night and a few drops of rain but we haven't had a proper down pour since Feb or March - and even then it didn't last long! It's about 40 degrees here today, but thankfully my office - or the batcave as I call it, is below street level with a small window near the ceiling so it's lovely and cool - plus I amuse myself by watch people's feet wandering past occasionally.
Left over spag bol for my lunch..... how is it we always end up talking about food?? LOL
Because all this talking makes you hungry ;o)
