Hi all, I’m not offering another apology, I’m sick of giving out those, but…
My output has sadly declined to a crawl due to a couple of reasons. I have been a carer for my dear old mum, who passed away last October at the young age of 95, impressive eh! and she enjoyed a good quality of life right up until near the end, I’m so thankful that she didn’t suffer like so many have. I did think that this would result in me having more time to write, but dealing with her estate, and an increase in childcare days, yes, I have been rich at both ends of the family spectrum, has meant a decrease in writing time.
The other thing was having done a summary, I promised some OOB’s and thought that would be a breeze, until I looked at mine closely. Unfortunately, I haven’t been anywhere as diligent with changes I made during the writing process as I should have, and my OOB was heavily noted, meaning everything has had to be rechecked. Furthermore, I am having to rethink through some of the events to come, to ensure they can stand up to the scrutiny of being plausible, and not just fantasy. That’s not to say that some events will be a stretch for some readers, that’s bound to happen, but overall, hopefully, you’ll accept that my events could have happened.
So, I’ll be proving five OOB’s, Malaya Command, RAF Far East Command, RN Eastern Fleet, Hong Kong Command, and Borneo & Burma Command. The Japanese OOB’s will come a little later, after a few more stories, while I won’t be posting American or Dutch OOB’s as these should, baring a few minor exceptions with the Dutch, remain historical. Having said that I will give OOB details for some battles that the Americans or the Dutch fight historically in the stories I write to cover them.
The first OOB should be ready early next week, and then one maybe every 3-4 days onwards. Should be back with the action first Sunday of March, and after that a steady two posts a week. OK, enough said on that, we’ll move to an intermission. So, boys and girls, this is your chance to pop to the loo, get your ice cream, popcorn, or whatever, and I’ll let the adverts roll
I only ever had one of these, that was enough, bloody awful!
Now you’re talking, a good old fashion British ‘Ruby Murray’ you can’t beat it.
See you soon for the main event!
