So, I've finished chapter 15 and I'm happy with that little glow of accomplishment. Then today I set out on the unsure path of chapter 16. It's New Year 1963 so I just nip off to Wikipedia to see if I can see any events were interesting enough for MC to mention. And... I find that "the big freeze of 1963" was pretty famous. Hmm.
That's flipping annoying. Now I have to rewrite the Christmas and New Year of 1962... Just as well I looked. Someone would have noticed.
In other news - it's sooooo reassuring when you get an email from a service provider to whom you have sent the same plans to three times because they say they havent received them which says:
"We have defiantly not recieved your plans."
Ah ha! Defy me will you, my pretty? *twirls moustache*

"Ere, Spotty, been too long in the sun?"
"Yeah - who's been eating all the Coz?"
