Rather more studied on this occasion than on the last, noticed at reference 1.

That is to say it was a conscious endeavour, spread out over several days, trying to pick up the thread at the odd times I happened to be sat at the desktop computer. That is to say, not the laptop that I am using now.

The thing has a slightly unfinished feel to it, but it has been going for long enough now and it is declared done.

And on a future occasion I had better be more careful about using fresh paper and not writing on top of it - with the telephone picking up a fair bit of such overwriting. Bread and butter to the likes of Maigret, who recovers an important short letter in this way in the story noticed at reference 2.
