An Engineer in Paradise

This blog was started by accident - a chance mention of silk in a Challenge Question set my mind racing and the first, brief episode was born. The reaction to this and the follow-up episode was positive, so keeping the episodes together seemed like a good idea.

I'm a fairly unusual creature - an engineer who enjoys language and likes to use it to its full. Oh yes, and I'm a woman!

I hope you enjoy reading An Engineer in Paradise, remember: If you have nothing to laugh about - laugh on credit.

Her midnight blue silk shift dress whispered about her legs as she walked down the stairs and across the hall. She reached up slowly to touch his face and started when he recoiled in horror as the blue flame that arc-ed from her fingertips touched his cheek. "Damn," she muttered, "I must get rid of that cheap nylon carpet."

	reminds me of an episode many years ago. a friend and I had travelled all night to reach our destination. On our arrival our host with characteristic kindness offered each of us a cold frosty glass of fruit juice before breakfast. As he proffered the glass to me I rose from where I sat and shuffled (result of driving all night) across his nylon carpet to take the (repeat) cold and frosty glass .I was bemused by the agonised look on his face as he let the glass slip from his fingers only to be just caught by yours truly before it headed for the floor. coben
