However, she strikes me as food for a great novel. (Also, why do you say that she is STILL attractive at 35 years old (ie why do you use the word 'still')?)<br /><br />No clues. You will have to wait for the book!Elizabeth Baineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193751871434773972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33010980.post-38453344337088448902010-07-03T22:27:20.076+01:002010-07-03T22:27:20.076+01:00Well I'm thinking that there are actually 2 ch...Well I'm thinking that there are actually 2 characters that say bugger.<br />The first is an elderly Geordie male drinks real ale and lives mainly in his potting shed on the allotment, since his wife passed away three years ago.<br /><br />But he probably wouldn't be in your book?<br /><br />The second one is female about 35 years old, home counties, slim still attractive, drinks 2 glasses of wine , divorced, 2 kids (one boy one girl) struggles with Tesco carrier bags from the back of her (newish) mid range estate car.Has golden retriever dog. Has never said the F word in her life.<br /><br />Are you going to give me a clue, or willI have to wait for the book!!?Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33010980.post-25593803003027456742010-07-02T20:34:42.661+01:002010-07-02T20:34:42.661+01:00Great to meet you, Jan, and yes it was a lovely ev...Great to meet you, Jan, and yes it was a lovely evening.

I am particularly grateful to see this picture of me on the stage because this is the first one I've seen that works - the only one I have I managed to do something to the settings so I've come out like a red ethereal being. <br /><br />It is a beautifully composed picture, by the way, as are your others - yet another of your talents!<br /><br />It sounds really good to me that your character is settling in. I think that's what it is, isn't it? You're getting to know each other, perhaps... All good relationships need time, and maybe the same is true for a character and its writer.Clare Dudmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197558842580794165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33010980.post-21935336251837053612010-07-01T22:59:46.760+01:002010-07-01T22:59:46.760+01:00Thanks, TFE.
