Thanks to all who voted by giving kudos to my 'Fancy Dress Party', and also to all who commented.

I took a little time off my normal schedule of proof-reading and inventing things for Julina to invent and scribbled down a tale which had me grinning as I did it.

I then went on a quick trip here and another there, had a super time with my little granddaughter in the UK and drove back here to Switzerland. It has taken three or four days to settle back into my normal (mostly unhealthy) routine as I sit on my sofa with my laptop on the coffee table in front of me. Today, I intend to reread the last four or so episodes of Julina's saga to get back into the swing of things, refresh my brain's memories of events that I have been building up to and then I expect I could restart the tidying up of the next few Julina episodes.

As I was driving back from the UK - eight hours of boring motorway - I idly thought of many things, one of which was if I should expand upon the Fancy Dress Party as a number of commentors and messagers have requested.

So imagine my surprise when this morning I received a request from another author if she could 'run with it'. She did indicate that it might be a little 'darker' than that which I wrote.

I decided that I would like to see how another person would use the scenario, so I said yes.

I will let her make her own announcement as and when she is ready.

Time now to grab a little breakfast with my second cuppa, and then I will get down to my important BCTS work.

Have a great day

All the best

Julia
