Thanks Hugh! I had of have really enjoyed reading each of these stories. Jim's priceless advice to "stick to the flat and narrow" hopefully came in handy at times. Loved your mother's saying, "more hide than a highway man's horse"
Don't forget if you miss reading soe stories because you've been busy -- you just have to go to my substack site to have the choice of about 27 articles to read or listen to.
Cracking examples of literal words. Loved these characters and the conversations. Deemah’s friendship and advice were wonderful. Not to mention the ditty you sang to receive it! My mother who was an avid reader living in isolated parts of Qld and had a bit of a penchant for all things Spanish, decided early on, she would like her Grandmother Name to be Mamacita, after reading it in a book. (Meaning little mother in Spanish). 18 grandchildren later , we had a gorgeous Spanish friend come into our lives. A girlfriend of a grandson. She wasn’t sure whether to tell Mamacita that it’s not quite a grandmother sort of name... it literally meant hot little mama!! We all thought it was hysterical!
Yes Peter, Jim just has to change one of our well known phrases slightly to have a great effect.

Helen brought your comment in to my hospital bed after my heart attack to cheer me up -- and it did! It made me laugh.
So thank you Julia
