Waist-high stone pillars, with a small metal rod sticking into the air.”“Lightning rods?” John blinked.“A warning, I’m told.” Ililyan said... “They sit directly on the boundary. Supposedly, if one is ever hit, it will give some kind of signal and the Dwarves will remark the line.”“Right. Stay on this side of the line of death.” John summarized.“Not death.” The Warden disagreed. “Merely something to be ... cautious of.”“Cautious?” John sputtered. “We’ve got all kinds of metal on us. A never-ending. I was gobsmacked when Sheila and Julie actually went out of their way to make conversation with me at that dinner; no girl that young and pretty had ever paid me any attention whatsoever before!"We were silent; we had not had the slightest inkling that Hamish had felt like that."And then to invite me to lunch, twice in a weekend, and get Jen down from Reading to meet me? That was so kind, so generous! I can never repay the friendship you all showed a complete stranger that weekend." And while. Onwards and upwards (snigger), I have decided to base my first cumback blog on a situation that I found myself in around 10 years ago. This occurred when a friend and I popped to the pub across the road from her house and I’m pretty sure we weren’t even flirting in the pub. We got back to her house, she poured another glass of wine for us both. I popped to the loo and as I walked back towards the lounge, she appeared quite suddenly. Next thing I knew she kissed me full on. She was a great. I'd been with personal trainers before, but Tam was going the extra mile for me because of mom. I wasn't in that bad of shape I thought, so I didn't think all this was needed, but I played along.We met in her private office. I brought workout clothes just in case she wanted me on a machine or whatever. Our session was very professional; Tam was personable. She was dressed more modestly than when we first met, very professional with a friendly overtone since she was bedding 'Vee'.I found her.
