I met the council chief executive this afternoon and his development manager will visit the Heatherbrow housing project. We're due to submit a tender ...or expansion and modernisation of one of the council buildings.

There was a simple string of red, white and green lights along the porch and a beautiful tree shining in the front window.David had decided he would kiss Linda. He was certain they would see each other again and he wanted to start breaking the ice more. Also, he wanted to feel her lips on his.But before he could make his move, her hand gripped his thigh. He tried not to show that it caused that funny twinge in his groin. "How about you come in, David? Help me start a fire."He raised his.
