I was tempted to launch right into Friday’s diary page which is written up but I’ll post something different before then to break the pattern.

If you missed the previous episode it wouldn’t give you a clue of what was going on. Imagine if you picked up Moby Dick in Chapter twenty with a recap of the previous events running; 'A ship sailing, harpoons being thrown, close up description of a wooden leg, a yell of ‘thar she blows’, men shouting, a glimpse of the whale, man with tattoos, ship sailing in storm.
