OK, now I know why it was impossible to finish that chapter. It was two chapters. This feels so much better, I sent off one and can go on working on the next without feeling trapped by the size of a chapter. This is good. I hope.

Next week I'll be visiting my mother's summer house, together with at least two of my elder sisters, and their husbands and dogs. I am already exhausted, and it's raining. I just hope the rain lets up, so that I can get to go for a lot of very long and exhausting walks. That always makes it easier to be without access for as long as a week.
