Surely it must have been The Lord Of The Dance that made you feel off colour? Having experienced this and found it not to my taste, I would have run for the hills, cousin's wedding or nay!

I hope you enjoy a tr

I checked out your ramble on Perfume.

You're brilliant.

'Nuff said.

Thanks for that, Janet. I've copied and pasted now. That'll make it easier when I think of summat else!

I teach privately. I'm just off to teach now, actually. Shame. Could have chatted with you. Have a good morning.

Excellent news. I'm sure Tuesday will go swimmingly. Unless, of course, you're nowhere near a pool. Or if you have Hydrophobia. Then that would be bad.

I'm sure, to clarify, that it will be great.

Saturday and I have some time to myself!!! Whoop!

Hey Kelly. The Intruders is a great book, and I' sure you'll love it. You should try Christopher Fowler as well, my friend. If you want to start with his short stories to give yourself a taste, have a go at The Devil In Me. Today, it is raining, I've finished work and I'm going to chill with a book and some beer, watch a few films and cook some nice grub. What're you up to?

I hope you're very well. Have a great weekend.

Hey Sarah. I have really loved some of James Herbert's novels (I've got 'em all) and have also got all of Dean Koontz' novels. If you like crime novels, have you tried Harlan Coben? Or Henning Mankell? These guys are great. Hope you're well.

It's nice of you to say, but I always feel like a total zeeb about what I've written. I really loved your ramble, though. You have excellent taste in books, to boot!

Hi Beef. I've just discovered that you replied to my visitor message to you on your own profile. Ironic, no?

I hope this finds you very well.

Hi Michelle. I hope you are well. I'll donate some more cash when I get paid this month. Sorry for letting it lapse. MM

Oooh, and 1,300 posts! That's a fair number!

No problem, and yep, that is me, shining pate and all.

Hope you're well.

Hiya Giulia. I'm sorry to read that you're feeling so low. If it's any consolation, I am sending you a virtual cuddle right now and am wishing that I could say something that would make you feel a little more chipper.

As it goes, you have my support, albeit over the web. xx

I'm nosing around YOUR profile now, lady! Hope you're all right, my pedigree chum. Pip pip for now. x

Happy birthday, Shin. Hope you have a smashing one.

Hiya Sarah. How are things in Groove Town? What news have you? Love the picture, my friend. x

Hi Noll. Not heard from you for a while, so I thought I'd pop by to say hello. How're things in sunny Ireland? x

Gah! I'm at home today, after finally succumbing to 'Man' Flu. I've been really quite under the weather for ten days now. The noise level working with the chaps yesterday was most unbearable, so I've called my boss, arranged for cover and bunkered down with drugs and books. How's the dissertation going? I hope this virus isn't communicable through the 'net...virus, geddit?!? ha ha ha x

Hello, my Gallic friend. How are things over the channel? This week has been terribly busy (no change there, then!), but it is now over - as of half an hour ago - and I have a relaxing weekend of reading, wine, film and food planned. What about your lovely self?

I very much hope you are well.

It's certainly quite moving, isn't it? It made me feel amazement that our world still behaves in this fashion. I sometimes wish there was somewhere else to move away to. Glad my recommendation didn't let you down, my friend.

I hope this finds you very well.

I'm on tip-top form, thank you. I'm about to settle down to a couple of hours solid reading, which'll be nice. What's going on in your world?

Yeah! What the hell is that thing about JimJam bottoms??? Only yesterday I saw some teenager walking past my house in Spongebob Squarepants PJ's! I thought she must be a bit special and that her parents were a bit remiss...

Coo-eee! How're you doing, Noll? It looks like Abby's being a little mischievous, the scamp. But don't worry, I caught her and bear hugged her as she dashed away, so do with her what you will!

Long time no...erm...write? Read? Virtual communicationed?

Sigh. I just can't get my brain around the correct terminology...

Very well, thank you. Also waiting for the new term to start, but feeling all the same anxieties, naturally. I'm doing something about it, though. I'm setting up a business with one of my best friends here in the Peak District doing what I love and what I'm best at. It'll take a year or so to get off the ground, but with minimal outlay, which is a reuslt! What're you up ...
