We had a planning meeting last night. It involved us two, Jenine, hot dogs, a little wine, much web browsing and some decisions, but we got through it. We were, and will be for the next six weeks, planning for our alternative Christmas. You will no doubt hear much about it over the coming weeks. Instead of spending a fortune on staying home, we’ve been saving all year to spend the same amount while visiting six or seven European towns and cities over the Christmas period. We were hoping that both boys would come with us, but only one can make it. The other is already too far into grown-up-hood and has a job over the winter. (He had one over the summer that had him chained to a kitchen seemingly for 24 hours a day, then had a week off, and then started a winter job. Blimey.)
Anyway, that was just to keep you informed. And to say, for those who read the Clearwater and other mysteries, I hope to have another set of short stories out before Christmas. I’m working hard on them, which is why I am not here so much. Keep a lookout for ‘1893’, coming soon.
