No, I'm not Corinne-friendly. I'd rather be his friend!!! I can't get my kindle till tomorrow morning too, but I can follow the proceedings thriough my computer as I've downloaded the kindle app here as well. I'm so excited!!!!!

I was saying.... Â I started dieting (which is and always will be a b*tch!!) for health reasons too. My blood pressure was soaring sky-high and my heart was suffering as well. I feel so much better now I've lost more than 30 kilos (it would be 66 pounds, leave or take a few grams) that the fact that my clothes don't fit me no more is only a side effect.

I started dieting (which is and always will be a b*tch!!) for

It's lovely here as well, for the time being.  As for my Gedeon... I went to the bank this morning  and feigned interest in some leaflets that were spread upon the counter and I was really lucky, I SPOTTED HIM AGAIN!!! He's not a bank teller, Perhaps he's a junior assistant... Definitely young, I'd say in his early thirties, blue pinstripe suit, white shirt, even sporting a light sun-tan... grrrrr  PS: Shall we keep in touch as the time for our downloads draws near?

 I'm always complaining I'm not loosing weight as fast as I'd like to, my nutritionist keeps reminding me my body needs its time to adjust itself to my new lifestyle. So, don't give up, will you?

Good morning ladies! The countdown is unnerving, but our reward is going to be sooo sweet... my hands are already tingly!!

You don't need to tell me...I have to put up with them almost every day.

Enjoy your ride! hehehehehehehe

That would be 15 p.m. in Italy, am I correct?

Good night from Italy too, sweet sweet sweet Gedeon/Henry dreams

ME. I bet the donkeys haven't got through customs yet. You'll have to pardon my French but: Â Where are those da**ed carrots?

I've written them down in my Book-To-Read list!!!!. August and November (it's my birthay!) seem so far away now

I haven't got an account in that bank... I could ask him to convince me to swap my account.... oh my this is SD department!!!!

How could I forget??? I've already put my sneakers in a bag and my black pumps (unfortunately not Laboutin's!) are only ready and willing to take me there!!

Cary would second that too!!!!

This is our last night being "in the dark"!!!! I've downloaded SD's "A Lush Kiss of Rapture".... it's going to be a loooong night!

that's only to be expected!! I'm on a diet, and the more I lose the "hungrier" I get. By the time I reach my goal, I may be charged with "indecent behavior" in public. SD books always give me something both to think over and to dream about; they remind me that Mr Right could be just round the corner. I'll keep my eyes wide open!!!

Ironic indeed!! thumbs up for our so over-attentive, dear ladies.

Hopefully mine is never going to stop. I'm going to feed him as many SD books as I can lay my hands on!!!!

As for Elizabeth, I don't think she visits Gedeon often. I bet she is only allowed to when he's not in, and for a quite specicfic reason, that is the management of the female help. I really can't imagine Gedeon fussing over mops and the annual spring cleaning!

Gedeon just didn't want to be seen crying or having a moment and to feed the paparazzi with any pic of himself in such a state. Maybe it's hard for a man to show any vulnerablility in public, I for one wouldn't mind.

You don't need to feel guilty. You just did what any of us would have done, half given the chance. I'm happy for you. ENJOY!!!

I do wonder what there is to be embarrassed! The s*xy scenes?... Those are the most emotionally charged moments in the books, it's not s*x-for-s*x's sake only! And emotions are not affected by age! Your heart can still skip a beat, your can feel butterflies in your stomach even when you think your age would put you well beyond it.... I have a lot of other feelings in my heart while reading SD, embarrasment not one of them. lol

INDEED! A wonderful blend of those English and Italian features l love so much
