Some time ago I was started on a statin. (Let's not get into the pros and cons?) Anyway, I needed to renew my repeat prescription, and the doctor required me to have a set of blood tests. As a result I was found to have a raised LFT (liver function test) which required further investigation. Okay, so, off I go. After an ultrasound which revealed a gall-stone, it was seen that there was something untoward in my bladder. A cystoscopy was followed by a TURBT. Yes, there was a tumour in my bladder that might never have been noticed until it was too late to do something effective about it.
I suppose it was a good thing. Now I'm waiting for histology results on what was removed...
Writing is slow, I'm afraid. I have two chapters of a Jenni story, with a third under way. It is, as a matter of interest, another 'older woman' story. What will happen to her? Well, I don't know yet. But I am in favour of happy endings, on the whole.

I've just submitted a sequel to 'Regrets?'. Of course, Clive is in no position to tell the story here, but he's delegated the task to Sean Mullaney.

In my Dryad series, I've drawn in Kat and her witchcraft, but in this one I've branched out into Faerie. Do you believe in fairies? No? Then it's no wonder that they are declining! Anyway, 'Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden' is in the submission queue for posting

Sorry! A reader just pointed out that I had Penny in the wrong person's bed. A corrected chapter is in the queue for repost.

Last year I bought two second-hand Apple computers. My wife's Win7 desktop needed to be replaced and she refused to have a Win10 device. I considered reformatting the old tower with Linux, but in the end thought I'd try Mac. For my own interest, I picked up an elderly MacBook, and have been using it since about last March. My wife finally got round to saving all her stuff so I could swap out the tower for the iMac, which has, on the whole, been a success; my wife is not a technophile, but is finding her way around with it. The MacBook, though (unsurprisingly) has a very tired battery, and I've just got round to leaving it with a local iRepair shop, where it's going to have a new SSD drive and battery. As a result, I'm using my little Linux netbook again, temporarily. So if the occasional typo slips in, I'm blaming that poor little thing. I think I've satisfactorily managed to submit the second chapter of Penny's Promise from the file on my backup drive, but if anyone notices a slip-up in that, I'll be glad to hear of it.
