I haven’t written a post since 1st September as I’ve been immersed in divorce paperwork again. (Note from Tim: again, this post is from Jack, not me; I’m not going through a divorce. As you might suspect, any woman who gets involved with me is greeted with 24 hours of delight and sunshine every day. I ask that you not confirm this, as it is surely self-evident. Thank you. I now return you to Mr. Springheel) That should all be finished within a few days, and that should be the last serious work that needs to be done in my quest to be single again, which will be a relief. This should therefore be the last long gap in my posts.
In my last post I was talking about the likely retracement to the mean move that I was expecting to see soon, and we have seen that move.
