Heh - nothing like knowing I'm not alone. It is a very good game and I'm lucky to have found one more amazing writer on here! It's always a breath of fresh air when things just click, ya? 

So I've tomorrow off as well (am on vacation at HOME this time, thank heavens) and while it is Independence day and therefore requisite fireworks and frightened dogs trying to burst out of houses and run down roads are in my foreseeable future, I will be dinking around a bit. I'll do my best to respond better than twenty four hours next time. :) I'll also start looking at just what Mistress Fanny is going to be like. "Lor' but she's a keen'un, she is!" She's bound to turn it all round in a snap! I'm caught between lots and lots of ruffles and pink cheeks, or a rather rotund woman with the grace of a battle axe and the power to prove it. :) We'll see how she shapes up when she has to go head to head with our M. Reynard. 

(On a side-note, M. Reynard is a nickname for one of my owd dogs. He's ruddy and flashy as a fox, though he's not half so smart, he is one of my "gentlemen" [a pair of brothers who always give at the gate and are quick to do whatever they are asked to]. He's the gentle one and when I do talks at the local school, he is my ambassador - wanting a hug and to be petted by the kids.)
