It's a very special day...

At a cold ice rink, somewhere in the wilds of Nova Scotia, a group of 9 year old hockey stars are huddled around their coach. Up in the stands a shivering group of moms wearing thick coats are watching with a mixture of pride and boredom. A man wearing a long dark overcoat slips unobtrusively into the stands, making his way towards them. His eyes are searching out one in particular: a tall, slim, woman wearing a turtle-neck and jeans who has a notebook and pencil in hand. She seems to be writing…


'Mary? Mary Carroll?'


The woman turns in surprise. All the other moms, the boys out on the rink and the coach, a particularly handsome man who looks like he would be capable of flashing a wireless router and clearing out a hard drive without blinking an eyelid, are watching with big grins that suggest they are all in on the secret.


The man smiles broadly, producing a large red leather book and a microphone. His voice booms out, 'St Margarets, welcome to your 'Days of Destiny.'

Well done for getting all this together, at a time when you're having your own difficulties. There's a lot of hard work gone into this. Everyone's entries were wonderful. I'm surprised Will didn't acquire an extra scar or two in the process.

Happy Birthday Mary.

Quick, TDU - what would you suggest for a extra scar? Will's still at the police station, but I'm sure our schedule can accommodate a new scar when I go and bail him out.

I replied but obviously didn't post properly (I was just about to take Little Yyke to school so was in a hurry!).

Police brutality! Because Will is Scottish they couldn't understand a word he was saying and because he is Scottish they assumed he was hurling a string of obscenities at them. Consequently, he suffered a slight "accident" which left him with another scar on which ever part of his body you fancy (or will fancy when it has an improving scar) and possibly a really manly black eye.

Ooh, scar accompanied by black eye? Me thinks I will stop at a lingerie store on the way to the police station. ;)

Do you have an account? I bet you spend an absolute fortune on lingerie as the less fabric used, the more the item usually costs.

I, of course, don't wear, lingerie, just underwear!

By the way, You ALWAYS have me laughing. I want your sense of humor!

[tdu000.livejournal.com]

Well you obviously share my sense of humour if you find me amusing.

I got a new icon especially to accompany my "testamonial" and then forgot all about it!

What vintage? (Although the paper bag does not bode well.)

You have no idea how hard it was to find an image of a bottle of wine in a paper bag. I thought that all I had to do was do a search on the three words and I'd find one but they were all wrapped up in fancy paper and weren't the least bit suitable for a wino!

[moonette1.livejournal.com]

LOL! Shhh. Don't call yourself a wino. People might find out you drink a lot!

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

That's a great icon. You'll be able to use it at all our parties...

And retire Young(ish) Albus? Maybe alternate with him so I have both wine and a drinks waiter!

Perhaps you can send him to sommelier school. Just a thought.
