I apologise for being a bit quiet on here lately. A succession of common or garden lurgies, a trip to A and E , a nasty reaction to very strong anti-biotics have laid me a little low. All of this is minor stuff of that I am well aware ,as I have friends in constant pain, with very worrying diagnoses. This is without even counting those who have dropped dead this year leaving us so many tangled up in grief.

Also I wanted some time to figure out some stuff about what is happening in the world ..don’t we all?

In the meantime, I thought I would drop some more memoir. Why did I go and live in Miami when I was 20? I dunno but I did!

Parts one and two have already been published and so I have removed the paywall for you.

Part 3 is subs only. Please consider one. Oh yeah I better do the holiday special offer thing !

Thank you for sticking with me. Much more is to come. Actually I am not sure this is very Christmassy . I will try something more festive tomorrow.

Love

Suzanne

And here is part three

They were the FBI.

And Kevin was wanted in Carolina for killing several people. Shot them up, as they say, he had held up a bank or something, on some kind of spree that went wrong. He never meant to kill anyone.

I went back to the motel.

There was a note from Marnie. ‘Got a good offer in St Louis’. I knew she came from St Louis. I knew too that she had probably stolen some of my clothes, even though she would never get into them. But I couldn't be bothered to look. I switched on the TV and wondered about myself. I had been living in America more than a month, and my best friends were a murderer and a grounded air hostess, and even they weren't around anymore.

I sat down and wrote a letter to my mother, telling her not to worry about me. Everything was fine.
