Amanda

I'd like to see more women pop their heads in.

Pop

I love the picture.  Sorry I've missed you.

You know, this site needs you to get some things going.  I have tried,  but you have something that I don't, that gets people interested.  I come here really now to keep in contact with Roff and rarely check much else.  I'm inclined to think that your absence is a sign of your life being good.  I hope that's the case.

Hi Meg :-)

I know exactly what it is that gets people interested.

I try to be, I really do but generally I'm happier at the other footwear related forum I joined. It's mostly female members and it's more fashion orientated.

Miss you and Roffy though and the word game. Oh and derailing threads of course. I'll try and find time to pop in more regularly now that winter is descending upon us. I'm generally much less busy at this time of year.

Yes life is good, still enjpoying being young free and single/spinster. hope the same for you.

Hope your Mum's well too xxx

Mexico, but not through Texas.

Not quite sure what I did, but I'll happily take the congratulations!

What do you mean "looked in on me"?

Oh, just that he was on your list of profile visitors.

Oh that's probably because I wrote to him.

Thanks for link Amanda. 

Oooh! Nice. 

Curiouser and curiouser. 

Hi Amanda,

So glad you are back, lovely to hear from you. Not been the same here without you. Hope you are well and take care.

PS.  Liking your new avatar and background. Stylish as always. 

Not been the same here without me?

You are joking right?

Hey, only back a few days and already found another Pussy Riot video.   What's not to like!

You're quite right.  I did try a little while ago, but I couldn't make it happen.  I'll try tonight.

Oh that's stunning I love it!

I liked it.  Many years ago I did archery.  The chap teaching us was an Olympic champion called Don something.  I wasn't very good at it.  I was able to draw a 30lb bow then.  I suppose it would be less now.  Olympic archers typically draw 90lbs.  They tested the bows found on the Mary Rose and found that they had a draw weight of 180lbs.  I could probably not pull back the string an inch, but with a bow I could draw I often hit the target and sometimes hit the bull.  Doing archery well involves learning how to relax.  A few years later at ante-natal classes they presumed to teach me how to relax.  Having children put paid to my archery.

nice to see you again

Hi Amanda,

Thank you, I'm very well, hope you are too. Agree the banner is annoyingly difficult to display the best section of the photo, but you seem to have mastered it. Your recent avatars and banners are very stylish in the sepia tones. Good to hear from you, take care.

Thank you for your kind comments. My banner pic is actually about 12 inches high so some of it is missing lol

Just doesn't seem right to be combing out your heels after an outing - - -
