The Hornets' Nest II

Did a good 2 hours this morning Charlie...about 20,000 words edited now; 80,000 to go! Unfortunately only about 35p of your 97p will end up in my pocket. Still I sold a copy to Denmark last week so perhaps that's the start of a reversal of the UK invasion of Scandinavian crime fiction. Wouldn't mind 0.1% of Steig Larson or Henning Mankel's sales...

 

oh wow! Well hopefully i'll be up there a lot in the coming months, fingers very tightly crossed..so i'll have to look you up Yorkie

 

Hey hampshire! Good to see you Welcome back!

 

Afternoon all thanks for the caramel latte Ak

things seem to be hotting up a bit.... Quite excited now! Right, off to get my daughter from the station then time to settle in for the night ..biab

 

wow, twitter is down..that's a first...think i might start shaking in a minute!

 

The Nest will remain ours.

I hear the policemen arriving, but they will never take me alive.

 

Well that is me home in Gloucester, good journey except when I got to the Carrefour in Calais to find my favourite tipple is now award winning which stands for more expensive IMHO So I only got 6 bottles, then got an earlier ferry only to be stopped at customs in Dover! excuse me Sir where have been and for how long, vehicle docs please, open your boot please, let me just tap down the outside of your vehicle for drugs and contraband Must stop looking like a thug and a criminal At least they are doing their job properly but why me?!?!?!

 

we'll now be calling it 'Nesta'

 

oh dear! If it was me, i'd know straight off you're too lovely to be a drug smuggler!

Welcome home

 

i'll be having an early night tonight, i'm off to sunderland in the morning, probably leaving around 5.30 or 6am...should be home by 11pm...yay! lol...10 hours driving, i hope it's worth the trip!

 

Because you look like a thug and a criminal?

 

Exactly BB, that's what her indoors keeps telling me! " grow your hair you'll look less like a thug" fat chance of that happening these days, not quite shaved to the bone, just a little stubble, shaved every week very closely cropped

 

Thanks H, have a safe journey tomorrow

 

thanks Al

 

Can't wait for some top class coffee

Mind you if the polizia come we will set the bear on them

 

According to my admittedly ancient Italian dictionary we would become:

Nido di Calabroni

 

On my trips back and forth over the years, you can be certain that if a single male below the age of sixty is in a car he will be pulled over and searched. Worse still if he is in a van it is 100% certain.

 

When the sad news about my old armchair got through to Italy, a new one straight from the manufacturer was promised. How kind of them to think about the supporters was my first reaction, but then the picture arrived of what will be delivered.



I might with a little assistance get down, but unless it is spring loaded I cannot see me getting up again.

 

what does that mean?

 

Ahem
