I wrote this piece some time back as if it were a historical acount of what happened to the UK after Brexit. Lots of comment, upset lots of people so lots of fun. Scrolling through my ststs I saw there was a new comment. Could I resist? Of course not. But I read the comment, and the preceding one and I thought well they must have been reading something else.

Perhaps I'll do an update in the new year, of course that might depend on whether we are still able to import electricity to run my computer!

Sometimes you just run out of ideas, or you don't know which way to go. Waiting around for insiration to strike doesn't work as I have just confirmed. I started this chapter and it kind of wasn't going very well, although I knew how it was going to end, had it all worked out ready. In the finish it didn't end that way at all,(you'll have to wait for that, I promise it's good!) because the muse woke up and we were off to the races.

So to speak.

And since it didn't end as I thought, I had to alter the beginning. Bugger. Add to this that I know about as much as Hermione about cattle, and rather less about horses, and you can see how I cause myself problems. So there you have it.

Oh yes, I know nothing about racing either, so that'll be a future problem. Why can I not keep things simple?

Enjoy!

Chapter 27 of Jake's adventures has gone for editing. I thought it would be just a gentle consolidation of various lines, but suddenly it exploded... that's it.

I think I've managed to do this wrong and only posted the foreward. But as soon as that is up I'll post another two chapters today, two tomorrow and the final two on sunday. This is a bit of a departure for me, but I will probably use the characters again since I rather like them. The format of using an Agatha Christie as a base also seemed to work, her plots were usually good, if the prose is perhaps a bit dated. And nobody does any shagging - I'm sure you'll tell me if it doesn't work - and it was quite fun to write, somewhat taxing because you have to make sure all the clues are in place but not too obvious.

Chapter 26. It's taken a while longer to finish this one, and so I'm taking a break for a while - I've no idea how long, I just need to do something slightly different, sort of recharge. I also have a number of things to attend to in the real world. So, enjoy this, and you can take the quote from either McArthur or Arnie - I'll be back!
