Ten Years After, Chapter Twenty One.
6 Sep 2005 06:41 pmLife is quite busy. Tomorrow Daughter-dear and I leave the Island for four days - I know, I know, we're hardly back from our last trips, but the timing here was non-negotiable. I am attending a conference on the theme of Childhood Continence Problems, at York University.
Now York is currently the university D-d thinks she might most want to go to - but only from the prospectus because she's never been there - so she is coming with me to have a good look around and get the feel of the place.
Then we realised that Sheffield University has an open day tomorrow, and she thinks Sheffield might be quite good as well. So instead of travelling tomorrow afternoon, we are out on the first Sea-cat in the morning - the red-eye boat. Check in by 6.15am. Leave home at 6.00am at the latest.
Hopefully we are not away long enough for the husband or the cat to go into a decline!
We get home on Saturday, late afternoon. Then Sunday School starts the next morning, and we have to organise a Family Harvest Service for the next Sunday, make sure all the children know what they are doing, pick the hymns etc. And I would usually do a lot of the work over the next few days - only I can't, because I'm going to Sheffield and York! And so I should have got it done - but I haven't yet, so the next couple of hours might be a bit busy!
But I have been being productive - look! Chapter Twenty One is ready to read.
This chapter is a 15 or a 17 - depending on when your country of origin thinks kids can cope with sex - you have been warned!
Chapter Twenty One - in which our heroine discovers whether she is right about Spike and stockings....

Next Chapter is here.
Feed back is cool - like champagne on ice, with chocolate truffles really!
But I apologise in advance, because as I am going away first thing - in about eleven hours time - I will probably not get around to thanking you until I get home.
At the weekend I will post some more of D-d's Aussie trip pictures.
