Tools arranged on the tray were surgical instruments. He dropped the thermostat, donned gloves and took a deep breath.

Moments later, he cursed. His glove was nasty.

Keep the competition away from the wombies 😉

/ May 1, 2013Ha, ha. It sounded like a made doctor / scientist at first. Chocolate is so much better to work with than…a real person?
Fabulous twist. Will wonders never cease?

/ May 8, 2013I see that flashing is the operative wording on this one but before I suggest something mischievous I will just say how much I have enjoyed your FTP wickedness, an FTP that definitely adds to the flavour of it, chocolate is so exciting isn’t it Red? Well it is when I think of how many different ways of using it 😉 lol
Okay mind out of the gutter time, I will look forward to reading more of your most recent postings but for the now I must dash, take a quick tour of other Spaces and then grab some supper 🙂
I will be calling back in the morning though so don’t be adding too many more to the list, I know how you adore a wicked list or ten 😉
