:lol: Your suspicious nature! It's more likely to be the other way round (i.e. only one or two dead...). But, yes, maybe it's all some cunning double bluff.

No, if you can't do anything about it, you might as well just enjoy the breathing space while you have it. And, yep, I'm also looking forward to my hols. They're a bit more random than they were going to be, but I do have a week in August.

And you should write The Black Bore first while you have a stretch of time. (This is me bullying you, as requested. I want a word count before and after the holiday, and the first draft in by Monday, or else. Or something. :lol:)

Oh, and it'd be worth writing a massacre just to see that! :-D
