pirates , princesses - * nods also* - and here I am reading about puppet show versions of Lord Exmouth's life by a Parisian theatre company that features pirates and his entertaining of the then pricess of Wales in Genoa - so perhpas the P and P quotient is right after all!

makes me nervous about the story I am working on for her - though it does have pirates in it ...natch !

Chuck in a couple of princesses and you'll be fine! XD
