Hi,
I want to thank you all for waiting patiently for this story.
I have just spent the last hour doing the exciting job of housework - is it character building? - so I was happy to see that I still had loyal readers.
As most of my time was spent vacuuming, I would like to give some advice to anyone thinking of getting themselves a pet ... in my case a dog.
My Gemma is a papillon, a small, white, fluffy dog, who should, by my reckoning, now be a bald little dog, considering the amount of hair she leaves on my carpet. Yet she seems to keep growing as much hair as she leaves behind!
So, if you are considering a dog, do get yourself one which doesn't shed too much hair.
Mind you, I do think she is worth the effort, but I'll say that quietly as she's sitting right by my feet.
Well, enough about my completely unrelated real life and back to the fdk - I'm very happy that Father Ninian is a popular character. I love inventing new people ... and I appreciate that you're feeling afraid for Liz. I hope you'll forgive my teasing, but I don't think I'll let you down with Liz's fate.
Once again, thank you for sticking with my erratic posing schedule, and I promise to try to do better ... but you can now blame Gemma and my constant need to vacuum as one of the reasons why I'm not writing on a regular basis. Only joking!
Yours Jenni
