Update

[desperance]

I've worked through the first two sections of the novel now, the first 150 pages; which I have cut to 128, which means about 7K words cut from about 50K. Which is okay, if not optimum; the opening section was tightest anyway, and I barely got a thousand out of that. I'm expecting more dross later.

Meantime, it's time to glaze the ham, and I have no redcurrant jelly. I have always used redcurrant jelly (and mustard, and brown sugar, and a squeeze of orange juice: it's my patent glaze, fruit and sweet and sharp together), and I have none. How can this be?

I may have to go with honey-and-mustard, see what that does. But oh, waily waily...

It's a good thing there aren't trains on Christmas day - I can imagine people travelling across the country to camp out on your doorstep and look sad until you take pity on them and feed them ham.

Not this year, alas. See subsequence...
