Good grief, Louise, don't ever apologize.  Way to go with your exam and I hope the rest of your training goes smoothly.  (Is that apple cake you're baking?  Yum)

The LJ cuts look great ... and I'm off to read Chapter 51!


SPOILERS



Ahh...Louise, this story is so damn good.  At the beginning of story, we talked about all those conflicts and complications that have been bouncing around in Jeremy's mind and now we're seeing them coalesce.  Jeremy's acceptance of his sexuality and the fact that he was able to use the "L" word with Nick were certainly pivotal, but I see the events of this story leading to a true watershed in Jeremy's life.   And how telling it is that so many of the "masks" worn by these characters are being shed. 
 
My heart is just breaking for Lance....that was hard to read.  But I really liked this line:

“Jeeves ain’t got a mean bone in his body – just in his mouth....  So true.  And he's also brave and honorable. 

Thanks,
Marie

welcome back Jo!  If I had a faster browser and more than 5 minutes' breaktime to let it load I'd over you some daisies or some azaleas or some begonias!  I'll catch zou up later - after class!

It's great to see you, Jo!  Yay for Mr. Fixit.   Did someone say daises, azaleas or begonias?

wow.... great photos!

I just finished dining at the excellent pub downstairs at my hotel and since I've been on the move for the past 14 hours I am going to just close mz ezes for a few minutes before proceeding on to loading some photos and writing another Chesterfield installment, but despite my away-from-Marshfieldness, the show will go on!

Sweet dreams, Louise.  After 14 hours, you may want to close your eyes for more than just a few minutes!

And speaking of sweet dreams......wonder what Sweet Thing's dream boy is up to...



"How are those trousers fitting, Sweet Thing?"


Can't wait for Jeremy to get home tonight.  Bet he's remembering very clearly the day that despicable Ray came looking for Nicky at the bar, and he must be thinking It could've been Nicky ......but how will that manifest itself and what will Nick's reaction be? 

Oh, this is good!  Thanks,
Marie

very true... something might have been needed to get Naughty Nicky on the straight and narrow... this could be it.

and I'm awake now, I am, I am!
