Better weekly than ...
None!
It's a difficult transition, going from a Daily Dormouse to a Weekly Dormouse, but you are busy, and I can appreciate that. Still, it's like holding one's breathe for a whole week!
Be well, Angharad

After 3218 chapters, a week's wait is OK
The house cricket must have fulfilled it's three months of glory.
This story is worth waiting a week for Ang, so how many more years to go on that degree?

Well, that's an interesting twist.
The guy tells her a story about a supposedly stolen car, then goes home and kills his wife, then himself.
I guess that shows just how odd some people can be, at least Cathy and her family are safe.

Modern life
and all its allied pressures certainly has a lot to answer for, Whilst not trying to defend Ben Smithers you can perhaps see that pressure both at work and possibly at home could lead to such a tragic event taking place..
Given that Cathy was possibly the last person Smithers saw before he went home, You can only imagine what might have happened if Cathy unwittingly had said the wrong thing whilst she was listening to his story , Life, as we all know, is part planning, part luck , Seems last night Cathys luck was certainly in...
