It's certainly compelling! I must remember this is real life, because it reads like a situation Jilly Cooper would be proud of. I await the next instalment with a wry grin on my face..

Please reassure us that you've lived (and survived) part 6. I'd hate to think that you have yet to actually live part 6!

Really, Stephen? Given how often I was in detention for refusing to do my homework, you of all people should know that my relaxed attitude to deadlines from 40+ years ago is still going strong! 😂😂

Wow - high praise Nadine - I have to have a few days off. Writing about it is 50% cathartic - 50% traumatic 😬
