Frustrated! The Speechelo AI voice producer limits your use, and I was ready to convert on Thursday, but was only able to do it yesterday! 😤

Placing Sir Harvey's letter down, looking through the salver he then found a letter from at Whitehall, he broke the seal with no hesitation, maybe it was sending him away so he would not have to make a decision so might be outside his purview to not attend either one of the Christmas house parties. His eyes slid over the velum, quickly scanning and digesting its contents. He read it again, then again. His eyebrows rose in complete surprise, well almost shock. Bathurst wanted him permanently at the war office, as it would make the process of deciphering of received or captured messages much quicker. He had not planned to be so involved, he was not employed, he volunteered. He now had to decide whether he wanted this! He had to think deeply, not make a decision on impulse. He needed all the facts to make an informed decision, but that would mean going to see Bathurst. After consuming his repast, he emptied his coffee cup placing in its saucer then onto the tray, stood, decision made, he left his study, after slipping on his greatcoat, strode resolutely into the hallway to retrieve his beaver, gloves and cane. Descending the steps from his front door, his footman had hailed a Hackney carriage and he promptly made his way to Whitehall.

@Dani Rosenblad James - this is from my 'StoryPods' - podcast book. This is from Chapter 18 - the chapter I'm wotking on at present.

@Carin Chantel - Love the emotion in this, that feeling of trying to metamorphose into who you want to be, who you need to be, just to surround yourself with 'your' people - the tiredness of not being recognised as 'you'!

Procrastination is a killer, and that is exactly what can happen I'm trying hard to work through that, and your advice is also encouraging and do welcome, @Dani Rosenblad James ! ❤️🫶❤️

You can count me in, @Alix Campbell ! Supporting each other is part of this communities strength! 🫶
