Ah, home in the daylight, or at least I would have been had I been a little quicker getting my coat on when I tried to leave the office. Still, deep twilight is an improvement upon the Stygian gloom of recent months, so I can't complain.

This week, when I can spare the time least, my moribund social life has risen from the dead like a bloated revenant from Frankenstein's slab. With impeccable timing, the lightning hit the conductor and charged the patchwork corpse with life just as the howling mob of a deadline kicked in the drawbridge and stormed the castle torches alight, demanding to know when I will finish my writing commitment.

Happily, and unlike the good Baron, I have an escape plan, a back door you might say. Through the careful hoarding of annual leave, I might just be able to have my cake and choke on it. I plan to take Friday off and dedicate it to writing, along with much of the forthcoming weekend. One final, concerted push and I can have the last character sheet written and edit the earlier ones as necessary.

I hope.

Why are social engagements like London buses?

This is a rhetorical question; don't feel that you have to explain, but if you can point the howling mob at Castle Dracula across the valley, Victor will be most grateful.

Thanks for listening. Carry on.
