The China Pearl Inn part 7

[lovingfingers]

Wonderful news Rick! Very happy for all of you!

 

[Uggg]

Hi Uggg I see your are forted up with your empties under the bar. So what does your day hold for you?

That he does L F perhaps we should get some mallets from behind the bar

GRRRRRR!

*Senses hostile intent and grabs a couple of empties to use as weapons!*

Pfffft mallets! Bring it on!

*A hand reaches out from under the bar and starts waving a bottle around wildly*

*Eventually, when no Mallets eventuate, it gets bored and goes back to nose picking under the bar*

Hmmm what does my day hold for me?

... work, lots of work to do this week not very exciting but it happens every now and then. Maybe later I will find time for some writing.

Uggg

 

[cgraven]

Writing is always a good thing Uggg!

I eye the wildly swung bottle and thing that the "Whack a Mole" Idea might have some merit. But decide to wait and see if Uggg remains placid.

People on glass foundations shouldn't swing mallets.

Well I've cranked out a chapter and a half today and now I've lost my steam. lol. Feels like a grind at the moment. I hate that point in the story when you have to start tidying up lose ends before the big wind up.

The start of stories flow off my fingertips easily but fuck me I hate the last third. Its always a chore. I've been putting this one off for months. I'm up to chapter 115ish of an approx 170 chapter story and all I want to do is start a new story. lol.

Uggg

 

[sharingfantasies]

170 Chapters? Good grief. I don't think I have ever read anything that had that many chapters.

Was a nice spring day today. Rain tomorrow. Don't think it will be cold enough to snow. The upper elevations can have that. No buds on the trees, but a few more smaller birds were flitting around so winter is moving on.

Hey Rick, thanks for the update.

If I was doing the whacking of the mole, Uggg would be very safe. I have terrible hand eye coordination.

They are relatively short chapters of approx 3000 words each, so not as long as it sounds.

I wish people would stop talking about mallets!

THIS GAME IS A BAD IDEA! I'm sure I don't need to remind you that the foundations are made of glass.

Uggg

 

[cgraven]

Uggg the foundation is not made of glass that just the "empties" that you are nestled in my friend.

Isn't that still called a novel at that point?

Where's my mallet I just had it now....

Mallet mallet mallet mallet...

 

[RobynTashaYa]

Just back from Germany, scored A+ on theory and 97% practical. Sal scored similar but she remains until tomorrow to do some work for her NRR Badges. CG, we’re with the Navy next week. Any advice?

 

[cgraven]

Keep a watchful eye on them Robyn as they are a rather randy bunch. ish

Depends on the objective of the exercise. On board ship follow their lead but once you hit the beach your in charge.

Thanks CG. We’re practicing a beach landing to establish a landing base for allied aircraft (that’s the public bit, I can’t add more as you know). My role is to take command of one of the support groups once we’ve landed.

 

[cgraven]

I quite understand Robyn. Best advice get off the beach quickly, follow the path of least resistance and remain highly flexible. Remember from when the ramp drops till you clear the beach your a target.

So did you get to enjoy Germany?

 

[lovingfingers]

Really? Once she clears the beach, the enemy says, "Drat! Out of bounds. Can't shoot at her any more."

The things I am learning on this thread...

 

[cgraven]

No L F just better places to hide and take cover. To consolidate her gains.

 

[RobynTashaYa]

CG Germany went very well. We were there partly to observe this and yesterday we had a go ourselves. Both CG & RT will know it’s an awesome weapon, the ground shakes violently and I potty any poor bastard who we might have to use it on.

[cgraven]

Oh heavy weapons company Robyn. We had an 81mm mortar with a 50cal machine gun mounted above it. we could fire it traditionally or like a 3 pounder. a very versatile weapon.

 

[Uggg]

Good morning everyone

 

[cgraven]

Morning Uggg. So I see you have emerged from your cave of glass.

 

[The_gladiator]

Afternoon all. How goes it?

 

[cgraven]

Afternoon Glad I trust all is well with you. It is a bright sunny day here in the upper 30F's. Skiing was great this morning.

 

[Uggg]

Morning Uggg. So I see you have emerged from your cave of glass.

*Looks about suspiciously.*

*Sees no nasty 'wooden hitting sticks' so nods amicably to CG and takes a seat at the bar*

Can I get a G&T thanks barman?

Afternoon all. How goes it?

Hiya Glad

*Hugs*

I'm good. How are you? have you started a the job hunt yet or are ya taking a break first?

Uggg

 

[lovingfingers]

On a completely different note, Gentlemen, in my other thread, there will likely be an opportunity for several male characters to have cameo roles. Might I have a show of hands of those who would be willing to join me for a week or so in a scene?

Heya LF,

I'd love to help out but unfortunately with my internet connection as it is atm
I think it would be irresponsible for me to commit to anything.

Sometimes it takes me so long to load a page that by the time its done I've logged out due to inactivity. lol

Uggg

 

[The_gladiator]

I can't commit but I am willing to read up on the thread and see if it's something I think I could do what story is it?
I can't commit because ask uggg due to real life my writing has fizzled out here on lit.

Heya cg It's going ok, not packing like I should be, so meh could be better.

Returns uggg's hug, "hey bud. I have accepted another position though still going through the checking process before they give me a formal offer but I am hopeful in May I will start a new job and I move in like 2 weeks. Well ok its in a week now...ugh"
