Sharon, say hola to Sharon, this is the reason I use my pen name on here because yes that's right my name's Sharon too!

And you can have our rain, all of it we're drowning in Brittany my lawn is like a swimming pool!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Same here in England. It is actually raining as we speak.

Ola Sharon.


message 2604: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Lipman (sharonlipmanauthor) | 272 comments Ola all the SHARONs! Do you know I've never actually met another Sharon?! People at school used to say it was a really common name, but I've never me another one in the flesh!

It's a great name don't you think?! LOL

Mmm why did our mother's do it is what I want to know, mine wasn't Jewish so why lumber me with a Hebrew name, which incidentally means Rose of the Plain and how many other people do you know who have a fruit named after them!

You don't see many girls called Kiwi do you!

Head of admissions at my school purposely separated me and another girl called Tracy so we wouldn't be in the same classes. She thought it was just too mean!

Better than being named after the Ugly fruit!! Tee he he!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I have to admit, my worst piercing was my nose, that hurt so much.

Sharon and Tracy, I loved Birds of a Feather especially that tart Dorian. The best episode had to be Dorian's rendition of like a virgin, I howled with laughter at that.

I wish they'd show it on French TV Alain would love it!

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments No I can't see your roots, honest.

I think Antoine met Amelia first, a nightclub maybe perhaps he thought she was older they had a few drinks and he de-flowered her. A one night stand, and then he started going out with her mother, perhaps he didn't recognise Amelia in the light with her clothes on!

I finished 50 shades darker, interesting ending or pause now I am convinced when she wrote this it was as one book with three parts!


message 2613: by Ingrid, Just another writer. (new)

Ingrid | 935 comments Mod
*stepping out of conversation slowly.

is this american television shows ur talking about or did i just walk in to a nightmare?*


message 2614: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Glad Mrs Robinson got slapped though.


message 2615: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments No Ingrid no nightmare. The television show is an old English sitcom. We are both Sharon and I reading the 50 shades of Grey series, Mrs. Robinson is a character in the book. It's for adults only, and before you pout remember what happened last time, so read it when you're older okay.

The other bit is a discussion my third novel House of Death, again for adults mostly, nowhere near as bad as 50 shades but I will slap an 18 on it when I put it on my writing. Just to be safe.

Yeah, I've always wanted to give someone a 'to go' drink, came close to throwing a pint of beer over my 2nd husband once. How I restrained myself I will never know!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Now I have thrown a drink over a guy when I was in Spain - lol

message 2619: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) It was fun. He was too shocked to do anything about it. What a waste of a good drink though - lol

Luckily drinks are cheap in Spain then! And large measures so he must have been very wet!

It's him that will need the luck, I'm getting angry, big mistake leaving me to stew, and not replying to my emails. If he thinks I may calm down and forget about it he is very much mistaken, the longer he does this the angrier I will get. The more vindictive I will get, like the saying goes 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!'

I can go from Angel to Demon if that's what he wants I will grant his wish but he won't want to stand in my way!

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Now I got the grr... out of my system how are you this sunny morning, note I omitted the word warm, and I don't think the sun will be with us for long.

It is clouding over 'fine before seven rain before eleven!'

There is light on the horizon, I have an offer of help from Catherine Burr, best selling novelist to find an agent, and/or tutor me on how to make it big time! Fingers crossed. A large expresso is called for I think!


message 2625: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Morning,

We have rain here again and the winds last night was ridiculous. Woohoo a full blown wind will be erupting from you if you finally get to speak to Adam, he will wish he never went to work today. Good news regarding Catherine Burke. Every cloud....


message 2626: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Lipman (sharonlipmanauthor) | 272 comments Blimey! That sounds exciting! How did you manage that, may I ask?

Also, just to cheer you up a bit, it's over 35 degrees here already :-)


message 2627: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) That's it, rub it in Sharon ;o) I will have some sun eventually - well difinitely when I go to Turkey in August, until then it looks like I have to suffer the lovely british weather of rain.

I thanked her for following me and asked how she'd managed to get her books into French and English and we took it from there.

I am also chatting privately to Danny Beckmann, photographer and journalist, he had a piece on the plight of the homeless in America through no fault of their own the poverty trap is now at 22,000 dollars pa!
I told him of Lori's plight. He's an all round nice guy, not full of himself like some people who've followed Clinton with a camera. He's been in war zones, and taken some beautiful photographs of France.

My father always told me if you don't ask you don't get, and then he'd still say no to my request because I was cheeky for asking. My goody two shoes sister would say 'I'm not cheeky, I didn't ask!' And sneer at me and my dad would tell her 'well if you didn't ask you didn't want it that bad!'

Yep was wet and windy here too last night, surprised the greenhouse hasn't ended up in the field again!

Lol At least you have a promise of sun and a holiday I don't think we are planning on going anywhere this year we will be working on the house. Disneyland Paris and Paris next year for a long weekend. It's about all I can stand, Alain too! Not city lovers neither of us! I started book two, confusing and more sex!

I will take Sophie to the beach, I may even take the caravan and have a couple of days drag Alain away lol he's as bad as Christian Grey with his surfaces! Nudge nudge, know what I mean!

Works for me, so it would appear I'll keep you posted on her advice.


message 2634: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Oooo what did he say about Lori? I couldn't resist, I started book 3 last night on the train, on Chapter 5 at the moment. I did tell you at it like rabits in book 2.

I'll forward his email and you can read it for yourself, it's not personal. Lol me too and I'm beating you I'm on chapter 6! I thought I'd just get it over with, I am bored with the sex in fact I skim over each escapade now quickly more to make sure I don't miss anything important. Lol Sex is sex and her descriptions do absolutely naff all, not exciting in the least like porn films they bore me to tears too, so false all the oohs and ah's, I want to laugh!


message 2636: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I know what you mean - but like I say, I read those bits whilst watching the mentalist - for obvious reasons. It helps so much more!

Yes if yo have a major crush on Simon whatshisface, or that it's actually showing in the courntry where you live lol.

There is no man that I look at that turns me on other than Alain, and I can't explain 50 shades in French it would take too long! He would love it, hope they put it into French it might persuade him to actually read a book or three!


message 2639: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) LOL - Thursdays for me and a date with Simon Baker. he can be my Fifty Shades any day. I can't help it. Don't worry Monst still does it for me too, but when he goes to bed early I am left with Mr Baker. ;o)


message 2640: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Lol when Alain goes to bed I'm left with my book which is 50 shades for now and all the characters in my head jockeying for position there 15 minutes of fame! Oh and Eclair, who nuzzles up to me every so often demanding a cuddle or a piece of my biscuit if I have one!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I just love cats.


message 2645: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Sharon wrote: "Yes"

I've never been a cat person, I don't like it when they rub against your legs puts all the hairs on the back of my neck on edge!

Lol I never thought I was a dog person either, I wasn't allowed pets at home my mum didn't like dogs or cats. Nearest we got was a stupid rabbit called Bungy who we house trained, he'd come to the back door and wait until mum said it was okay for him to come in and when he needed to go he'd beg at the door to be let out!


message 2646: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) That is so cute. I can't very well be a witch (as monster calls me) without a cat or two - hee hee

Yeah but they have to be black as the night do your familiars!


message 2648: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Thor is black but has white feet, and pebbles is a tabby. Monst bought Thor for my birthday 3yrs ago. He was exactly 8 weeks old when we got him.

Alain wouldn't he knows how I feel about cats, outside they're fine in the house no.

I'm being very decadent and having a small glass of white wine before lunch. I opened it tomake the sauce to top the salmon and it called to me!

I just love my man well fed and happy, and my salmon gratinee is his favourite salmon dish!
