Hi Bess! Wow, am I glad that work is over for the year, the last few weeks have been manic   Hopefully I will now have time to really sink my teeth into playing. 76 at bowling sounds like a really good score for me. I'm pretty sure I've never gotten close to the hundred, well at least not in reality, on the Wii I'm heaps better but my 5 year old niece can still kick my butt. I bought and wrapped the l ast of the gifts today and they are sitting in their bags ready for delivery on Saturday (we do Christmas on Boxing Day ... hey, we're Irish, what can I tell you?). I hope you and your family have a wonderful day tomorrow   ~Illandrya

Hi (((Bess))), Thanks for reading and your really nice comments on my Lobster Tale...(hahaha) I've been working on the next part last night. I have so many screenshots it is hard to sort them out. Next week I'm off (vacation - free time starting tonight) I have more time and will write that story. Should'nt be too long for the next chapter! Hugs, Fred

Hey Bess, if you can't see your new banner then maybe it's the browser your using. At work I use internet explorer and I had to reload the page to see your new banner but at home I use firefox and I could already see it. I don't like interent explorer, it annoys me. lol I'm finishing work early today so I'll be going to the shops after work. It's going to be soooo hard to get a car park. I know what I need to get so I'll be in & out...hopefully. But yeah I know what you mean it's very weird this time of year at the shops....literally everyone is there! At least you'll have your mum with you on xmas day. I bet your going to miss your brothers & sisters though. If you need a chat I will most likely be on here later in the day.   I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas! And you get lots of great prezzies too!

Hey Bess, so loving your new banner & avatar! Very cool, young lady! Oh sorry about the Blue Mountains thing. I won't forget now: Bess Brisbane Bess Brisbane Bess Brisbane! lol Weather is great here, I think it's going to be perfect for xmas day and then really hot for New Years eve, which suits me to a tea! I haven't had much time this wkend to work on my story so you'll have to wait till next week to read it. How was the Spongebob party? That is the cutest ever. I loooove Spongebob! Did you throw any strikes? lol Bowling is so much fun. My last day at work is this Weds, we'll be finishing early with a work xmas party. As for my holidays I plan on, r-e-l-a-x-i-n-g! Chow for now.

Hey Bess! Hope you had a good party yesterday at the bowling. I don't exactly set the world on fire with my technique, either - in fact, the last time I went 10-pin bowling I landed flat on my a*%e! I played barefoot lawn bowls at the work Christmas party last Wednesday and I was even worse that that *lol* ... I think I'll stick with bowling on my Wii.

Thanks for the offer, Bess, it is very much appreciated and if I ever get this silly thing finished I will definitely be in contact. It's aimed at Gen X (my generation) and, while it would be classified as sci-fi because it's set in the future, the focus of the story is the people, not the setting. I agree with you that there is not enough quality young adult fiction available. I have always been an avid reader and I remember in my teens finding little of quality that was aimed at my age group, perhaps that is why I got so caught up in the classics. It is improving, thanks to John Marsden and others like him, but there is still a looooong way to go.

Hi Bess! Glad to hear you are doing okay - it is a trifle warm, isn't it, but then December in Brisbane tends to be like that  I totally understand what you mean about your novel. Mine has been languishing for months and I just can't find what I need to progress it any further. I think that's why I've been concentrating on the lighter side here on TSR - hoping if I stop thinking about it, the answer will come to me. Thanks for checking out my stories, I'm glad you are enjoying the Veronika series The short story was just one of those things that wouldn't leave me alone and I had to get it out there, perhaps because it's so closely aligned to my novel. Hopefully that means the muse is just around the corner!
