I like it here a lot. You're right about the people - they are very friendly and I just love it that they all speak French. I've been doing this since I arrived even though they all speak English as well. I am feeling très 'romantique' this evening and so wishing you were here. The conference started today so I had yesterday to orient myself and spent a lot of time in Vieux Montreal which is not far from where I'm staying and is full of lovely old buildings and great little restaurants. I have connected with my two colleagues from work and we have had two lovely nights out together already. I have also already bought some shoes and have seen many others I'd like to get!
The more recent part of Montreal is very like Melbourne...a bit on the austere side and set out like a grid. But it doesn't appear to be as populous as Melbourne, there's not much traffic to speak of and the streets aren't full of people, so that was a bit of a surprise. I'm hoping to get to a gallery here on Friday. Yesterday I was breakfasting on my own in a little cafe (the coffee was fabulous) in a quaint French feeling street - very old beautiful buildings - and I noticed a beggar across the street. I spent some time watching him from inside the restaurant and he made appeals to at least a dozen people, none of whom paid him any attention. I felt very sorry for him and decided to buy him a take away coffee which I did. I crossed the road and spoke in French to him saying something like "Here I thought you might enjoy this"...and he said Oh no no! I don't drink coffee...coffee will kill you! And he refused to take it. I walked off up the street laughing to myself and feeling proud of him as well, and thinking that he had disproved our notions of beggary....it seems as though they CAN be choosers! So I ended up drinking the coffee and felt pretty hyped up for the rest of the morning.
Further down the street that day I came across the Montreal Intercontinental Hotel...it was just beautiful - very old exterior - and it made me think of our first time together in the Sydney Intercontinental.....oh I can't tell you how much that evening meant to me.....

Oh mon cher ami
I'm having a wonderful time here. Montreal is fabulous and I'm going out with my mates exploring all over the place. We're off to the Jazz Festival now (nicking off from conference). So wishing you were here with me...it would make things just so wonderful. Oh you are the only one for me...the only one...(poor me! Poor me!)
Sorry I missed your call. I wasn't naked: it was about 10 in the morning and I was in a session, but had left my phone back at the hotel. Would so have loved to hear your divine voice.
Your email was very clever and I enjoyed it very much - you are a clever chops as well as a sexy one.
I'll think of you ce soir very much.
Chariette
Oh mon cher
I'm loving it here. Went last night to the Jazz Festival events in the Place de Ville. There were four stages set up and many many people enjoying the music in about 30 degree heat late into the night. We'll be going again ce soir. The atmosphere here is very upbeat. I didn't see a single policeman at the festival area despite the crowds. Nor were there any drunken yobbos and there's a really safe feel to the place. I love it here in Montreal. It's wonderful with the French influence.
I think I will need to have a foot transplant when I get home. I have walked miles (in and out of shops mainly). I have done all my shopping for gifts for home so I can relax and enjoy myself now.
I bought my train ticket today for my trip to Ottawa on Monday (it's still Friday here). I'm excited about that trip as I love train travel. It was quite expensive though - considering it's only two hours away.
I hope things will be OK with you re your time off. I hope things in general are going OK for you. Are you going away again? Oh how lovely it would have been to have you here with me!! Oh mais c'est la vie.....
I'm having a great time, but think of you often, tenderly, lustfully, and every other way imaginable.
Your très heureuse Chariette
Oh mon cher
I have been to the Musée de Beaux Arts today, and it has put me in such a passion for you....how I would love to be with you just now, naked with you lying behind me doing delicious things to me with your delicious appendages... It was a beautiful gallery with a special showing of a Canadian painter called Edwin Holgate. I didn't much like his work as it was in a 'naif' style, very stylised, but it was very evocative of life in the Canadian outback. I would really like to go adventuring out there too, on the rivers and through the forests (in the summer....).
My two companions have now left but I will be here until Wednesday. It will trim my wings considerably so no more Jazz clubs or festival for me. It was so good having their company and being able to experience all these things that I never have before. I'm not really a Jazz fan, but there was such a fabulous variety there of Blues and African beat music that I really like. There was one group called Mississippi Heat who were a fantastic blues group with a lead female singer who was a very big girl - a negress with a divine voice. One of the songs she sang made me want you so much. It was called 'Footprints on the Ceiling' and that is where I'd like you to send me next time we're together....'hanging from the ceiling like a chandelier'.
We've been out adventuring on the metro as well and have discovered the 'Quartier Latin'. I'm not so nervous of the metro now and may try it again on my own, as my feet are in need of serious repair and rest. Tomorrow I'm off to Ottawa, early in the morning. I haven't prepared my seminar for them yet, so will need to do that before I go to sleep.
Oh I am so longing for you just now...poor me!!
Chariette de Montreal
Dear Chariot
Home again at last! Thank you for your lovely messages while I've been away. It's been so lovely for me to share my thoughts and feelings with you and to have the sense of contact with you. (Would have loved other contact with you as you probably surmised...oh how I wanted you there).
I am unspeakably knackered after the long flight and delays at every turn. I think I am now part of the walking dead. I'm going to get in the shower now and have a good soaking. Family are very happy to see me and me to see them. Apparently the dog spent many a sleepless night outside my bedroom door...I'm sure he spent many a sleepy night on the couch...
Au revoir for now
Chariette
Dear Chariot
Have been thinking of you a lot today (what else is new....) Hope you're relaxing and managing to revive your great stocks of energy and drive. I'll be on leave next week too for a couple of weeks. My best of friends (well, not bester than you of course), , from WA is coming over to stay with me and we are going to go on jaunts around and about - up to the Sunshine coast, into the hinterland, down to Byron Bay, maybe go to where the wines grow in Queensland and things like that. I'm so looking forward to it. I haven't had a holiday like this in such a long time. However it's made this week very frantic for me with a 100 things to be done.
I'm still feeling quite tired after the Canada trip, and not in complete control of myself. On Sunday I managed to 'fall up' my front stairs...had my hands in my pockets and just landed flat on the stairs and couldn't use my hands to break the fall, so I have a series of horizontal bruises at regular intervals down my whole body. I could do with some kissing better...
I would love to be kissing you better too. I would apply myself to this task with unparalleled dedication. How lovely it would be to be indulging in you tonight.
Look after yourself, and try not to let things get to you. You will emerge from this temporary lull, even stronger and more magnificent than ever...maintain the faith! I have the utmost faith in you.
Chariette
Dear Handsome Prince
I woke up this morning feeling very joyful. I'm so filled with happiness and I just love my life as it's unfolding for me now (would love it even more if you figured more frequently in it...). I think I now understand those 'born again Christian' types....not for their religious fervour of course, but for their sense of transportation into something new and wonder
ful. That's what I'm feeling - just transported! I feel as though I've been released from a prison of constant tension, and worry and despair into a brand new world of wonder and delight. The smallest things bring me pleasure. I was out the back last night in the dark, looking back at the house which was all lit up with a lovely warm glow to it and oh god I felt such peace!
You bring me much pleasure and warmth too. I just need to think of your beautiful smile, or your wonderful sexy hands or your voice that I love so much and I'm off! Oh how I'd love to be enveloping you in pleasure just now. You would be signed sealed and delivered.
Your mad Chariette
Dear Chariot
My leave is coming to a rapid close. I've had a lovely time with my friend and travelled all over the place. I've seen more of the state in the past two weeks than in all of the three years I lived here before. There are some really glorious parts especially around the hinterland of Byron.
I hope that you are having a good time...wondering what you're doing, thinking, feeling. Wish I was feeling you.... and you were feeling me....
Thinking of you...missing you.
From your abandoned Chariette (in the sense of 'most cruelly' rather than 'sexually' though I could be persuaded to the latter given particularly special company....)
Dear Chariot
You are no bungler in any regard, just a bit stingy with the word count....and the contact count.... Your words are very precious to me as is the rest of you, all of which give me enormous pleasure and you can bungle with me any time. I wish we were bungling to our hearts' and bodies' content right now.
I'm back at work now and feel the relaxation I managed to achieve over the last couple of weeks, rapidly dissipating.
I can't believe how quickly the year is flying past. And we've only had one night together! (One beautiful, magical, wonderful, memorable night...) We are both very pathetic in not being able to organise a better record than this! I think you need to contact the board you resigned from and tell them you've changed your mind and want to come back.....!!
Oh there's so much I'd like to do with you. I think of things I'd like to tell you about all the time, but they drift away like orphans when we can't be in touch. Every one of my senses hungers for you during some part of every day (and night). I am still so eclipsed by you....longing for you....full of adoration...
From your bungler in arms
Chariette
Dear Sexy Beast
Your phone call last night was wonderful. I really needed that....And yes I am still keen on you...very very keen. Can't stop thinking about being oiled up by you.....and your fingers exploring me and stroking me....Oh God...
Should the opportunity arise for you to visit me (oh I so fear to hope) I won't be here from the 17th - 20th. That's when I'll be in Darwin. So you'll have to manage it in the next EIGHT DAYS!!!!
Just thought I'd better let you know.
Your most desiring of you one.
Dear Chariot
I’m back home and feeling glad to be… I really didn’t take to Darwin at all. It was certainly a frontier town and didn’t have many redeeming features from my point of view
Oh but I’m happy to be back in beautiful Brisbane. And seeing the full moon above the clouds was a complete treat. Thank you for all your calls this week. It’s been a wonderful breaking of a long drought….Much as I try and try I just can’t seem to resist you. Oh what am I to do??? You completely delight me and oh how I want you!
I’ll be thinking of you in a full moon kind of way tonight (ie totally possessed with terrible longing for you).
Hope you’re having a good weekend.
Chariette
Oh mon ami
Welcome back. I hope you had a wonderful time and I'm very much looking forward to hearing about your Parisienne adventures. I especially want to know if you made it to the Musée Rodin, and if you did, what you thought of it. I'm sure all your meetings and workshops went to plan and that you were your usual stunning self.
When you're away the stars shut down for me (or maybe it's just the heavy cloud cover..)
Chariette
Dear Firm Chariot
Wonderful to hear from you last night AND to receive your email. Doubly blessed!
I had a wonderful time away...not doing all that very much but interacting with the children which was a lovely peaceful pastime
I'm glad you've had time at home. You seem to enjoy not being at work.... Good for you! I had lovely dreams about you last night after your call. Nothing erotic but very pleasing to the soul just to imagine your face and voice and you were being very kind and attentive in my dream.
I am a completely under your chemical charm. Looking forward to being completely under you in the not too distant future. (I don't trust your version of 'soon' though...) although I do have a great sense of trust in you.
I'm very very glad you're not in China at the present time.
Anna
Dear Divine One
Wonderful to hear from you today! Glad to know you're still alive and have gathered your strength to return to work.
In a few days I will have been here a year...the shortest year of my working life and I'm still deliriously happy with my decision to come back up here. I just love it here in this state, and am very happy in this little house. It pleases me immensely. (Son is close to moving out too so my pleasure will be immeasurably increased...)
I am going to be in Melbourne in November from the 16th until the 27th. I'll be staying at the Windsor for a couple of nights and I love that old building so I'm looking forward to that. Wishing very much of course that you could be there with me....You wouldn't get much rest though...I would be ruthless about that I'm afraid to say...but you would be smilingly and contentedly tired.
I still have a million lines of poetry I'd love to read to you, and works of art to discuss with you...
Still longing for you oh so very much.
Your poor passionate besotted one
Dear Fast Eddy
Sorry about the phone call this afternoon! I was driving back with a carload of people from an all day meeting elsewhere and couldn't pull over to talk to you. I appreciated the call nonetheless and would have liked to have fun with you on the phone.
Apologies too for not even offering you a drink or anything hospitable (apart from myself) last night. I was too much beside myself with joy at your unexpected appearance that I didn't think to do this. Oh how wonderful it was to see you and touch you and kiss you. I couldn't get to sleep for ages with the stimulation and joy of it all. You are just as wonderful as ever, as handsome as ever! It will be so good to spend a whole night with you hopefully soon. But I'm not going to put my mouth anywhere near you until I have had complete satisfaction....
You delight me and thrill me to the core.
Chariette
Dear Chariot
I’m VERY glad you’re back oh delicious one…and sounding so frisky too! I am very keen to partake of your suggested activities and hope that ‘soon’ means SOON. I wanted you very much last week….want you very much now.
I enjoyed myself in Melbourne and was very constrained with the shoe buying (only two pairs…). I think I have enough now, but always see more to steal my heart away. I am completely strung out at work just now trying to catch up on all the stuff that still goes on while you’re on leave. Millions of emails and tiny bits and pieces all of which need following up and fracture my work time.
I hope you’re not too tired after the trip and that you are in good health. I’m longing to check this out for myself. I just love your body and all that you do with it, with me.
Chariette
Dear Handsome Prince
I'm feeling particularly full of adoration for you today. I would love you to be standing behind me just now, your arms wrapped around me in a lovely simple embrace. And I would love to turn my face to you and kiss your beautiful cheek. I think if you could work a way to harness the potential energy of all the k
isses I have inside me for you, we could solve the world's fuel problems....
Your working year is rapidly drawing to a close and you must be looking forward to a break. I won't be finishing until late next week and will be back at work in early January. I haven't decided when to take leave yet. I actually like being at work in January when it's quiet as it gives me some good thinking time. God help me that I don't dissolve into a heap of thinking about you though...it leaves me with such awful paralyzing longing for you....
I hope you are enjoying all your Christmas events. I think of you sipping wine and looking just so divine! Oh... Oh.... Oh....
