Sooooo ... one of my kids got sent home for two weeks (again) because another kid in their class got Covid.

We're over the halfway mark, and no symptoms so far, so fingers crossed things will be okay ... However, even if everything turns out fine, by the time they go back it will be less than two weeks before they are off again for the Christmas holidays.

I really wanted to get this page up - for hopefully obvious reasons - but I don't think I will be able to update again until they are off again in January, without really pushing myself ... and I've pretty much had enough at this point, so I think it's best if I don't. I'm planning to post some art over the Christmas week, but I better not make any promises, as Christmas does have a habit of eating my brain ...

Apologies for another delay, and I just want to thank you so much for reading this comic, sticking with me, and for all your comments – I have been reading them, and I do really appreciate them, but sometimes it's hard to know how to respond! I think all you people are great, and I have my fingers crossed that we will all have a better year next year!

I'm putting the background art for this page up on my Patreon, if anyone fancies a look at it.
