Dame Edna lives in Melbourne?  Holy cow! I would have gone earlier!

Which reminds me I will be landing in Melbourne Wednesday morning local time, and I dont have your number, Jo!!!

Since she became a superstar Dame Edna has lived in the UK but her origins were as a shy, unassuming, humble 1950s housewife (pictured below) from the Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds. Nevertheless she frequently conducts royal tours to her home town and no doubt would be happy to give the boys afternoon tea and scones. She might even consent to give you an audience Louise!

Well...you could tell us what happens with Jeremy's mom when calls her at the end of your Christmas story.

Yes, that's a loose end I have been wondering about too, Milo.

How about a short story of Ellery and Ennis and Valetine's Day, 1985?

Absolutely Milo. It would be very interesting to read about what happened or happens next between Jeremy and his family.

Good one Leslie! Although i wonder if that would involve roses and chocolate?  ;D


How about the story about Wes and Edna becoming Ellery's 'parents' after he left university? Was Edna baking biscuits at the time they met Ellery? How did the daddying and mothering by Wes and Edna develop? When did they realise that Ellery was the son they always wanted? I could go on and on...

Of course there would be no Ennis   :-\, but i'm confident Louise could work her way around that  :)

Short Story Suggestions:
-I like Nike and Ennis meet
-Puerto Rico business trip and honeymoon combined could be a hoot!  How many
 people does it take to get Ennis on the plane?
-a short story about the girls moving to town and the changes to Ennis and Ellery's 
 life.
-a short story on how Ellery meet Bill? I have always wondered what the attraction was?

Louise, thanks for the opportunity to share our thoughts,  Happy travels.  I have been to New Zealand, and those folks there were fantastic! I hope you have the same experience in your new home!

Hiya folks!

I would ask Louise, but since she is not here at the mo ..

Does anyone have the completed word document for A Small Circle of Friends?

Would love to print it soon!  ;)

I don't recall exploring all of the Nick and Jeremy scenarios.

Did we cover his "Outing" at the Police department?

"More please!"     ;)

Yes - I've always wanted to know more about Ellery's past and his relationship with W&E - I seem to remember Wes mentioning Ellery's grandfather and it sounded as if they might have been friends?

I second that!  N&J scenarios are endless - and I'd love to read every one of them!  Do we have your head spinning yet, Louise?  :laugh:   Hope you're doing well!   

Thanks,
Marie

good lord, the things I don't know about Australian history, Jo!

I am embedded down at the Park View, and not sleeping too much, but I had better since I am supposed to go in and "office" tomorrow!  I can review the rest of the plot suggestions and put in the poll tomorrow!

thank you for all of the suggestions: I think the Nick/Jeremy "I Love you" is probably the first in sequence timing wise.

Okay.  My workweek is done, such as it was.  I have a busy night of - sleeping - ahead, and then will be moving out of this hotel, visiting with some lodge members and moving into the Marriott for the weekend in the Central Business District for two nights.  Then... taking potluck, and hoping I can find a cheaper and less five star accommodation.

My plan for tonight is to assemble the poll and organize it in order of time sequence as much as possible, and then with the poll results work on the next story.  Maybe I will get used to the time difference , and moving from winter into summer... and lefthand-righthand rule!  this weekend. I hope.
