The female predator snares a new victim (Rousse)
I could tell KMXX’s mission when I saw her working her way along the line of men. Most of them understood it too, and were not interested. However, the man in the queue in front of me was instantly smitten. … Continue reading

Sad and lonely at the seaside (Rousse)
I was lonely on the beach and looking for company (when not almost losing my Blackberry in the water when the tide came in). I looked through pub and café doors in the hope of finding someone I knew. All … Continue reading

Tea and scones with the ex (Rousse)
My ex-boyfriend ST invited me and his three other exes (including the wife) round to his house. Here he served us tea and scones at a long, highly-polished, mahogany table.
Doubts over Queen’s health in run-up to royal wedding, while marine mammals rule the waves (Rousse)

Pink flower shell bracelet gift (Rousse)
At the end of the event SC laid out some jewellery on a small wooden table and asked the delegates to help themselves to any items that took their fancy. I picked up a bracelet of pale pink shell-like flowers.
Unethical practices of rail companies (Rousse)
The three women in the train carriage were all plain-clothed police officers. I knew this because I had been allocated the role of PhD supervisor for one of them. The woman in question, however, was unaware of this because she … Continue reading

Brienne of Tarth’s ginger cat (Belle)
