Glad to see Richard is in it. He's my favorite.
What? Already? Wait and see if he stays your favorite.
Thanks for commenting Charles.
Nice! For me love became an alien concept around 40;-) I like Cosmo in a way-it could be because it is the nickname of the son of a dear friend-best to you as always!!
Hmm, sounds like more of a bouncer than a den mother. Lol!
I am sad. I never went to such an interesting school.
Devin, love never is an alien concept. It's all around us.
Aggie, we will learn much more about Richard later on.
SJ, I never did either. LOL
Thank you all for visiting, reading and commenting.
SOPHIE PUTS A SMACKER ON HIS MOUTH.
I like that sentence very much.
I'm training now on both running and waving my hands at the same time.
It`s not so easy. I'm a man you know.
indeed, makes my school years look rather dull. poor glen got knocked down a peg or two eh?
Hey Rolf, I'll bet you can do both. I will look out for you as promised.
Ben, it is rather a surprise to see you here. Poor Glen will find a way around Richard though, as we will find out in due time.
Thank you both for visiting and commenting.
Thanks. I go to another blog ( one on my list) and they have two virtual cats there spend ages with those.
Hey Fizz, I must try that one out.
Hi Monique! Je schrijft nog goed Nederlands! Ja Koninginnedag is iets heel speciaals. Ik ben blij dat we geen parades hebben. Scrabblen vond ik ook leuk, misschien kan dat nog wel. Ik zal eens kijken, morgen of zo! Tot ziens! Wil. Thank you for the visit!
Oh no, what's Richard going to be getting up to? By the way, Monique, don't forget to leave time in your busy schedule to write my screen play - our casting director has gone for Johnny Depp but I can't remember if we've settled on a female lead yet. Nicole Kidman? Julia Roberts? Hard to choose... Don't let them know you're on board, or we'll be inundated with Hollywood stars pestering us like paparazzi...
Ow! My tongue's stuck in my cheek...
Couldn't Mr. Miller simply sing "Moonlight Serenade" to prove his identity?
Delightufl episode.
Has life, to say the least!
And thank you so much Monique for wishing me a happy birthday on my Facebook wall. I don't know how you did that, as I can't seem to access my own Facebook page.
Reader Wil,Leigh,XDell and Ivan, thank you all for commenting.
merry christmas
&
a very happy new year, monique
