Well… I’ve been away … :-)

For those of you who were wondering (all 2 and a half of you) why i haven’t been writing, it’s been a long stretch for me of real life interfering!

I was in the army for a while, first two months at Infantry School doing the Battalion Mortars Specialist course, of which a fair proportion was in the bush… and then on my return I took over as Alpha Company Commander for two and a half months, specifically to prepare the company for the combat readiness evaluation for deployment.

I’ve also just had the most delightful addition to my family, my third daughter Sophiah Rosanna, who has just turned one month old.

In between all that, my cell phone got destroyed and I lost what I had been working on…

Last, and by no means least, I have been scurrying around trying to earn a living… :Sad smile

I just got a new notebook though, and I’m hoping to be able to start writing again.. so watch this space!

I don't check every day . . . but your page is still bookmarked in my browser and I *am* looking forward to the story's continuation.
It may be necessary for me to re-read parts but that is no hardship since I liked both the characters and the action.
