Fascinating SJ.

So many launching points offered in this latest, off-the-cuff, piece of word laying to pave the path that what you've been up to past week, Subplot (Episode) 3.

Well done on getting to 3, across two weeks, You've laid a trend which, as I suspect all diarists find, is no small achievement.

Just one from the many thoughts crossing my mind as I read this, and written with the caveat that I'm not a horse racing afficionado, is to suggest you reflect the riding of two great Champion Jockeys. Lester Piggott, older legend, and Frankie Dettori, more recent legend. Point I'd make is that they, talented though they were, never tried riding two horses in the same race. To me, if I may make so bold as to suggest, you seem to have a constant desire to fall between two stools.

What seems most to float your boat is 'Story'. Choice of story form is secondary and malleable but once you taken out as saddled best advice might be to stay the course and 'get the trip'?

Grand start, for me, reading you this grey grim Middle England July joke Tuesday morning :-))

I think you’re right about second weddings. They seem less likely to end in divorce too!
