The Net Caster (Part Fourteen)
Perhaps I could just stay here in the four poster bed, lulled by lavender and flowers and the odd bottle of Aphrodite whisky.

The Net Caster (Part Twelve)
A table, a bottle of Aphrodite whisky, and two glasses. The scenario was familiar. Was this really down to dumb luck? '

Delightful. Beautifully drawn characters, great atmosphere, wit and a dose of cataclysmic despair. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

I really enjoyed reading this
Posted on Wed, 21 Aug 2024
I really enjoyed reading this. There's that wistfulness as we think about people who once shared so much of our lives - and maybe wonder if they think about us? - and then the warmth of the friendship that has lasted years. The shorthand...

This is lovely, Rhiannon. I love looking at the clouds and seeing landscapes and castles and all sorts of animals. Unfortunately my desk is by the window so it's a real distraction when I'm meant to be working!

I was enjoying this all the way through, and then your last line was so good. A lovely touch of humour, but also with a lot of thoughtfulness. I love it when the IP produces something as quirky and individual as this.

Bulgaria certainly seems to give you variety, what with the storms you had a little while ago, and a possibly gruelling winter ahead. I would be in that fridge pretty much 24/7 as I share Jenny's feelings about the heat! Here in the UK of course...

I love the whole concept of this. Labels can help us to understand ourselves or others, but they can also just present us with another set of rules and parameters to conform to. Set the rainbow children free indeed. Anyone should be proud of that...

Posted on Mon, 12 Aug 2024
We sang the song about the Raggle Taggle Gypsies when I was at school, and it always fascinated me. It was one of the first songs I sang to my son when he was a baby.
'For though now older I'll not age in mind...'
Exactly. Always...

Posted on Wed, 14 Aug 2024
Well done on this, Paul. You've captured so much of the creeping fear we all have of where the world might be heading. The unholy meeting of minds that was the Musk/Trump face to face would have been funny except for the knowledge that some...
