Oh Ariel! You have put a smile on my face – imagine a beautiful model like yourself missing little old me! I am touched! I hope that nasty Dr Philips rewards you with some nice cake for your concern for his members (I do hope this once he overlooks the barefoot bondage comment in your post – good joke though, I mean, me, bored of barefoot bondage?!? – good one). Fear not I have been here all along, my relative quiet being down to a number of factors including building a new computer for myself (I now know why all my mates told me to go to the shop and buy one but I think I got the last laugh as I saved myself a packet by doing it myself), a sudden busy spell at work (we are going to a big exhibition with work in a couple of weeks and have been busy putting together a stand) and a lack of anything all that original to contribute. And besides, I wouldn’t want anyone to become bored of CD’s ramblings! I am however aware that during this prolonged period of silence I have failed to comment on a lot of RE news (6th birthday plus a whole raft of new contributors to the forum) and I shall try to remedy this over the next couple of nights.

Now about this limerick? We were unaware that you were a novice poet in your spare time – or is this only when you are drunk? I have known of giggly drunks and pretty miserable drunks (though I still don’t understand drinking if you know you get a bit melancholy??) but poetic drunks are a new one on me. I trust you were not drinking alone? CD thinks this would be very sad.

Indeed the Easter break was very good, though alas there was very little bondage involved (in response to Merlin’s comment my girlfriend is still unaware of us weirdo’s – I notice you didn’t include the possibility that I had told her and was therefore still in intensive care!).

Something that has occurred to me to ask. Ariel you are clearly a busy lady living the modeling high-life constantly jetting of to cities around the world – and for obvious reasons you are clearly very attractive (I am liking Ariel today she noticed I hadn’t posted for a while). So how come I never see pictures of you other than on this site? Now it is just possible that I am reading the wrong sorts of magazines (I do try to avoid the women’s section of the newsagent) but I was intrigued. Actually whilst I am on the subject, I guess you have to choose your bondage shoots well in relation to your fashion stuff – have you ever modeled fashion with rope-marks?

Merlin, so I realise I am getting a reputation for disappearing for weeks at a time and then posting pages in one go – thanks for pointing it out again though (I think it was Hywel who noticed first) I shall try to mend my ways! As was pointed out in the forum over the last couple of weeks though it has been really great the sense of community that has built up around these forums over the past year or so, with notably more regular contributors so I hope I am not too seriously missed when I am kept from posting by the mundane crap that life throws us.

Ariel there is no need to read any further.

So the Nikon thing that Merlin refers to (for those newbies reading this) was a course at Nikon HQ in Kingsdon intended as an introduction to digital SLR photography. I got a Nikon D80 around Christmas, a step up from a compact film camera, and wanted to just get a start from the people who know the camera best. I have to say I was really very impressed. OK, so for bits of the day we were going through material that I thought was fairly well explained in the manual (some present – there was about 10-15 people – admitted to not having read the manual which was a bit irritating for those of us that had) but on the whole I was very pleased, particularly as there was plenty of opportunities to go out and put into practice what we had learnt. If nothing else it was good to dedicate a day (off work!) to really playing with the camera – I have set out with such good intentions so many times only to become sidetracked. They do a D80 specific course quite regularly as well and I am really considering signing up to that when I get a chance – though we were advised to go off and practice the basics before embarking on that course. Of course photographing Kingston fire station on a dingy February morning is not exactly the same as photographing Ms Anderssen but heck a guys got to start somewhere, right!

Hope that wasn’t to long for you Merlin (why did you choose that cow for your avatar?).

I am glad to be back – though never actually went anywhere!!

This come a couple of days to late but Happy Easter :spin hope everyone have had a really good holiday.

I had a great holiday (with bondage 🙂 :blush ) thought about putting bondage outside in to it but it was to cold…. :iconcrazy

Now that’s a nice twist on the usual “Naughty Nurse tied up by patient” storyline… Hmmmmm, wonder if the Nurse’s uniform I’ve got will fit Ariel? It might just be scandalously short on her…

Hywel.

Right, a couple of things. I’m not wrong am I? She did start this thread asking where the heck I was – but has subsequently been nowhere to be seen. What’s that all about? And to think I was nice about her in my previous post – I should have known… (Hywel have you been going a bit soft on her?)

The other thing – ever since the idea of Ariel as nurse has been mentioned I have been feeling strangely unwel…. Where do I sign?
