Cherry
C'mon, who is responsible for that cherry? I can't believe you gave one to that, it's bloody awful. It's a sympathy cherry isn't it? Some entries I'm quite pleased with but that certainly `aint one of them. But thank you anyway all cherries gratefully received. Now I'll go back and find that it wasn't meant for me and it's dropped to the entry below mine. That's the way my day's been. Thanks Ed's

It was from me! And it was deserved - it's a good piece of writing!
It's the lates piece of Sooz's wonderful diary.
What do you think?

I know what you mean Sooz, (not about you not deserving yours), but I just got an unexpected cherry too. (bra off tongs on.) It's odd how they pop up when you aren't expecting them and seem so illusive when you are.
Thanks whoever gave me that anyway.

I don't think this is one of Sooz's best pieces of writing (and Sooz's best pieces of writing are very very good) - it lacks the wry self-mockery and is too coarse for me, but it's hit a chord with Tony. I think it depends on a lot of factors; which editors are reading and what mood they're in and how your latest offering compares with other recently-published items. We can always hint here if we think good stuff is being overlooked.
Natalie what ARE you doing with those tongs??
Sirren
curling hair of course...if you want to know which hair read the piece.

That was me too, Natalie! I just really liked it!
Also checked out your art website - me oh my, you are a talented soul.

Thanks all. I am restored to my lesser coarse self.
Sirren
Thanks Tony, I am glowing with compliments. Glad you liked it, (story and art.)
Sooz, less coarse maybe, hopefully not lesser self.

She is very talented indeed. She made a filthy dirty wedding cake sculpture for our wedding, Grandpa nearly had a heart attack!
Nat, do you know the BBC are looking for animators? The ad says can you do interesting things with a piece of plasticine? I thought, no, but I know a gal who can! It's all on their website.
Sirren
cheers Rach! I'll have a look, it might save me from Dubai.
And it is worth mentioning the weding cake was your idea, I just carried out your dirty work for you.

Sooz - I enjoyed your rant, if not necessarily for the writing, just because you'd written it for yourself it didn't mess around and cut straight to the emotional chase. As such, it deserved its cherry. I found it cathartic and honest. Nice one!

Thanks Joe. there's nothing as cleansing as a good old bitch sometimes, thank you.
