It's barely 24 hours, and I have my little laptop back, working, with files intact. Let joy be unconfined!
And I've immediately saved the file I wanted to my backup disk...
Talk about bolting the stable door...
Thanks, too, to all the people who either or both offered commiserations and/or advice.

That's politer than I really want to use. I fired up my laptop this morning, but Vivaldi wouldn't open, and when I restarted the computer, it crashed. You know how you're supposed to back up everything? Well, I do. Except last night. I've lost an almost complete chapter of the Lady Betty sequel. Unless the computer shop can retrieve my files.

Anyway, I have others, but the one I'm currently using is Windows 10. Have I expressed my dislike of Windows 10? Not to mention how SLOW the device is.

I don't really want to try to re-write chapter 4 of 'Bill, Candy and Etty', but I may have to. In the meantime, I'll pick up on one of the other stories which have been simmering and which I have the latest versions of on my backup disk.

Incidentally, thanks to all the readers who have made nice comments on my stories. Sometimes it would be nice to respond individually with a 'thanks' rather than a public entry.

Oh, and if you're a regular reader of mine and you haven't already encountered the author, can I recommend Old Sarge?

Every so often I take a day 'off' to ride Oscar. Today I'm off to Cosford - the RAF museum. But I need to start early, so the next chapter or Roadside Encounter is submitted early. Don't get too excited, will you?

I've, at last, finished a new tale. In this I'm returning to Jenni's world. Of course, she, and others, like Tom Carmichael, have popped up elsewhere, but this is Jenni's world, home and family. The principal characters are a writer, Rob Bellamy, and a young student, Clara, whose story will become apparent in time.

Thanks to readers who nominated and then voted for Muse as 'Short Erotic Story of the Year'. I somehow missed the entry and the result was a complete surprise. A very welcome surprise, so thank you again. And I'll also say thank you to Jerry and Peter who check my work. Without their efforts there'd be quite a few mistakes and misunderstandings to spoil the flow.
For Kat enthusiasts I do have another idea in the back of my mind for when I tidy up my other pending stories.
