  3. Brian fell asleep right after the movie, just as I was getting warmed up to the idea of a little fun.So, I was left frustrated and lonely.Just Maxy and me and a pot of tea. Maxy was very sympathetic(he likes to watch us have sex).He suggested I join him in the garden for some rabbit poop.It's nice and fresh late at night and still warm.
    I however, chose to play with my computer for an hour until I got sleepy.

    I hope your evening was more successful than mine.
    Although I enjoyed the movie.It was Valkyrie with Tom Cruise.Quite well done,I thought,although I'm not a Cruise fan.A bit muddled in places,but enjoyable.Of course we knew the outcome before the movie started,so that spoiled it a bit.

    Well, looks like you're not available so have a good night and God bless....J
