I finished the first version of chapter 37 today, so here I waffle on about that rather a lot and then go on about why I like these characters so much. And also some of the things that happened in the story that I hadn’t planned for, why they initially frustrated me and why I now think they are the best bit in the story. Sorry, I do go on a bit!
