Same time next week?

There's a small administrative issue, though. In my copy of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes the next story is The Adventure of the Yellow Face. But it seems that in some, British, editions the second story is The Adventure of the Cardboard Box instead. Apparently Arthur Conan Doyle had it removed from the collection because the story contained adultery and he didn't consider it suitable for children (at least that's what uncited wikipedia says).

So do we want to continue with the Yellow Face or with the Cardboard Box? Then we'd have to move it to its place in His Last Bow.

I can do either, but my inclination is typically towards "roughly publication order" so I'd say Cardboard Box by that standard.

Funny enough, I never remember the adultery part, just the, er. Well. You'll see when we get there.

That's my secret, Cap. I'm always bad at computers.

Ok, that was my preference too, so up next is The Adventure of the Cardboard Box. @Bee

Well, yes, agreed, but my definition of the weekend is Saturday and Sunday, with the optional inclusion of Friday evening if you insist. It's not Saturday or even Friday evening in any of our time zones?

Now if this is about late-posting that isn't until Wednesday.

Come to think of it I do consider Monday before 4 AM-ish to be part of the weekend. But come on.

I was in college for so long, Wednesday afternoon is already the weekend. Thursday evening at the absolute latest tbh.
