News From The Colonies.

It’s 14 right now and going up to 22 this afternoon with lots of sun and just the merest susurration of a breeze. Went for a hair cut and then drove around town for a while to watch the morning people going about their tasks. Came back home to have a cup of tea and a few puffs on my electronic cigarette. I am now wondering with abated breath what further adventures are lurking around ready to ambush me on this fine day. Over and out. (30).

[cupid04]

Let us know if you manage to give up...with the help of your electric friend.

[gness]

Stewey, that sounds like the beginning of a slightly seedy, American gumshoe story......☻

[cupid04]

Who loves you baby?

[stewey]

Going along with Gness: I have to tell you, cupid04 doll, that most of the time my case-book littered desk is surrounded by a miasma of swirling blue smoke. The broads that walk in daintily cough as they sit down crossing their nylon clad gams before asking me to find their wayfaring scumbag husbands...

[sunny-dave]

Shouldn't you be out in the wilderness - tapping a sugar tree, or bothering a beaver, or whatever?

[gness]

So..the broad starts to weep...opens her purse for a lace edged handkerchief......that's when you notice the Smith and Wesson nestling.....

[Tilly2]

I'm concerned about your abated breath. You really should give up smoking, stewey.

[Tilly2]

Sorry to interrupt the story.

[stewey]

Did all that last night by the light of the silvery moon, and also caught two poutines.

[gness]

Private *** have to smoke, Tilly....creates an atmosphere....and allows him to narrow his eyes without looking leery....☺

[gness]

Oh dear.....I'll try private eyes.....☻

[gness]

Though what happens when you want to refer to the short for Richard name?

[cupid04]

Baby, baby, baby...can I have your private number?

[stewey]

The gat didn't surprise me: what really twenty-three skidooed me was the vial containing the pickled little pinkie with a red bow wrapped around it.

[albaqwerty]

gness, I take it you said Private Richards? and not Private Eyes? :-D



As she held her lacy hanky to her moist eyes, and gasped that no-one in the police force believed her...

[gness]

The ring on the pickled pinkie was engraved with an ornate....S

[gness]

I did, Alba..in all innocence.....☺

[albaqwerty]

I wonder if you (well, not you personally) can get a Private Duck?

Can we have a speakeasy and prohibition in this story please?

[gness]

Okay...Stewey's a Private Duck....☺

[anneasquith]

the pickled pinkie ring was made of cheap brass !
