Boadicea's Chariot 
Shush, dammit!

I’m working on it Jaime. It’s almost started!
Here I am, damp from Cornwall with all its sea mists and stuff. (Hair curled wildly leading to regretted incident with the scissors in the mirror….) and now I see I have two days to pull a story out of the sou’ester.
Hi, Pseu.
Go for it, lass.
I’ll go and sleep on it….
Good to see you, Nym. Fret not and get writing! 😉
Afraid Backside has declared this month an Official Holiday so Slack Bottom is closed for the duration. Unless the Muse strikes elsewhere – and fast – there’ll be no vapid verses this time.
I have a work in progress, I hate it.
Thanks for the reminder, it has now made things even worse. Harumph.
I will see what I can do Jaime. 🙂
Jaime,
A summer’s day with bats and balls;
The pungent whiff of smoking;
Medad’s broad smile, Memam’s calm voice;
A picnic lunch, we’re spoilt for choice;
A few late frogs still croaking.
That was life long, long ago……..
You may hate it, Ferret, but I may love it. You never know.
Feeling nostalgic, Janus? Very nice. You’re in!
Jaime,
How delightfully diplomatic of you.
I have tried to get it done, but work is piling up and it honestly stinks like Ghandis flip flop. I am furrily furious because I have spent a large amount of time on it and I just can’t get it to work, the problem I think is that it should be a 5,000 word story and does not take kindly to abridgement.
I am afraid I will have to miss this round, I simply have too much to do. Sorry everyone. 😦
Jaime
Can’t get anything to work at all (sob!) and now the Furry One has dropped out (sob!). I feel really guilty (boo hoo!) Sorry. 😦
It would be nice if I had a sudden inspiration this arvo, but it seems unlikely.
You can make it as long as you think necessary, Ferret.
Oooooh. A sudden amendment to the rules!
