Onwards and upwards ...

A disconcerting week on so many fronts - certainly on the international one, and, on home ground, illness and a bereavement making for family difficulties. So when my IT kit decided to present major issues too, I was beginning to feel that life was definitely getting the better of me! But I've spent some time this evening reviewing the situation with the family chronicles and have pleasantly surprised myself by finding that I'm actually not too far off target with the first draft. Six weeks and probably another 10,000 - 15,000 words to go though, so no resting on the laurels! But evidence of progress is certainly a great motivator.
