    The last story was absolutely adorable 😅
    I'm sick and have been in bed since yesterday evening and that story put a smile on my face. Anything that can do that while I'm having one of my migraines must be truly special. I adored everything about that story, even how it made me feel like a gooey lovey sap 😂

    Okay, so I confess that I fell asleep in the middle of the first story, and woke up when dawn hit in the middle of the last story, so now of course, I have to replay them so I can actually enjoy the stories. But geez, I just knew the final one just had to be at least inspired by P.G. Wodehouse - a favourite author from my youth when the Jeeves and Wooster television series came out. I bought every book of his I could find and then do tater them to my local library once read, so others could enjoy them as much as I did.

      Yes you are absolutely right, I never notice that the last story was more than a hour long. I like to listen to the stories while I am doing house work as well as preparing food. Then I listen to them again while I am trying to relax.
