Uh.

I have had a couple of gentle nudges from readers, which I appreciate. I foolishly put it about that I'd be done the next chapter this week, and I like to meet my own deadlines, but it will most likely be next week for the following reasons:
a) I have two midterms to do between now and Friday.
b) This latest chapter is like pulling teeth because I have so many threads going.
c) I want to at least make an effort with the science and medical stuff, despite being a feckless philosophy major.
d) Next week is Reading Week so I'll be off and have loads of time.

Next Wednesday or Thursday is my new estimate.
