Hello from Singapore. I now have bad BO and nowhere to buy deodorant. Fun.

Nah, you've always had it. It was just the snow and pickled fish in Sweden that masked it.

The airbus is huge, and quite comfortable. For a big plane. I had lamb and mash for dinner and sausage and 'omlette' for breakfast.m

Brisbane is bloody hot.

This wasn't even on the first page; we need more yays!

To that end:

I finally, after a couple of dormant years, got round to writing again recently. Hard to find the time to do it, but I wrote a very short story (972 words) and submitted it to 'With Painted Words', a site that uses artwork as writing prompts, with a limit of 1000 words (such as a picture might paint).

Anyway, my piece was accepted and published on their site, making it my first paid-for bit of writing work (albeit a vanishingly small token payment)! Hopefully the first of many!

YAY!

I'm not reading 972 words.

Well done you.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Oct 30, 2012 13:28

That was very good!

Apart from the big words.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Oct 30, 2012 13:30

Blimey, that was actually properly good, not just good because I know you, or good because I want to say something and not make you feel bad

Well done dude.

Mate, that is properly great. Well written, and in such a short piece it's hard to throw the unexpected at someone, but you've managed it. I'm well impressed, well done you.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Oct 30, 2012 14:14

Well done, Harmony!

Just little yays, but they made me happy; Got my NHS login yesterday and got to go through some (real) CAMHS referrals that I made the correct decisions on.
