RAINY SEASON IN F. A.
CH 1 When Sandy helped Ulrika by the loan of a mac one cold wet night, he was merely acting as a helpful gentleman. What he didn’t know was that Ulrika already knew about him, sized him up, and decided he’d be worth cultivating by leading him where he wanted to go anyway, but hadn’t the nerve to admit it.
CH 2 - 4 Janislaw Zram fancied Magda Kronska when she visited his post office. If only he could ask her for a date. Unfortunately post office rules frowned upon relationships with customers, so the shy and wily Magda had to find a way round to their meeting without either of them openly asking.
CH 5 - 7 A skating rink? An innocent meeting between a beginner and an experienced skater? Bix Wright thought he was in control of the situation when he helped Heiki Gutten wobble on her first circuits of the ice drome. And so he was until one night later on a thunderstorm blacked out the town and exposed Heiki’s fears. The cure for them led to revealing Bix’s sartorial interests and being offered an interesting proposition from Heiki’s mum – in conjunction with Heiki herself.
CH 8 - 9 The steam engine crew were surprised at the station manager’s prediction of events when Elin Eriksdottir left the platform and met Ken Forest, and Elin’s grasp of basic steam engine knowledge, to their disadvantage. Not only that, then they listened to the station manager’s tale of how he met his second wife and what transpired afterwards – except for the last part which the crew had to use their imagination for.
CH 10 – 18. Derek Armstrong moved to F. A. during a heat wave and didn’t know how much his life would change when he muttered about a dress being more comfortable to wear in such weather, and his remark was overheard by Morag Kintosh, who ran the rainwear stall at the local car boot sales. She converted him to waterproof rainwear and female attire in quick time, aided by Jean and Helen, her mum Babs, and Bab’s twin sister Pam.
CH 19. What do Tom and Andy find when they go to collect Jean and Helen from their shop? A pair of bondage caped, face enclosed women of J and H’s build whom they are instructed to retain in that condition until returning them to their shop next day. Meanwhile, Fred and George are told to be ready for when Pam and Babs arrive home in their own outfits including gasmasks obscuring their faces. Fred and George are treated to a night’s activities further than P and B have given them before, then meet up with T and A the next day to discuss the events.
CH 20 Sandy and Ulrika come to the crunch time in their relationship. Would he let her tie him up in rainwear? And shag him?
CH 22-24 Magda beats off a villain and he’s suspended under the pier for the night. Then she goes to seduce Janislaw – severely. As if she needed to.
CH 25 – 27 A bus full of wet macked and caped passengers seemed an unlikely setting for a meeting until Polly sat down next to Glen and recognised him from the past. When he commented on the pleasant aroma from all the wet garments he didn’t know what he’d started and what it would lead to. He soon found out, and took to it like a duck to water.
CH 28 - When Simon wanted a screw and some rope to mend a window with and Hannah said she could have given him a screw and some rope at home, what was he to think – or do?

MAKING YOUR OWN BOOK
If you wish to print out and make your own souvenir book, bear in mind that this story was formatted in A5 in order to be a handy size and the best results will be achieved by printing in A5, although you may wish to print out the cover pictures in a larger size for separate appreciation, in which case I recommend glossy photo paper and the ‘best photo’setting on your printer.
If you don’t wish to buy A5 paper especially for the text part of the book, careful folding, creasing, and slitting some A4 paper with a sharp knife will suffice if you don’t have a guillotine, and will probably work out slightly cheaper.
If you have the time and patience to feed both sides of each page in small batches or have a printer that will print on both sides of the paper, that will reduce the bulk of the book. I recommend that you don’t try to print more than five sides at a time with a single-sided printer in case the printer misfeeds or you make a mistake in orientating the pages or arranging their sequence.
EQUIPMENT
Apart from the paper you will need:
- Two pieces of A5 card 0.5 to 1mm thick and preferably white faced, cut to size with a metal straight edge and a craft knife, or a guillotine, if you are unable to obtain the card ready cut to size.
- Strip of card – A5 length x thickness of book. (See METHOD, 5).
- Some rubber based adhesive and something similar to apply it with unless you don’t mind using a finger, as I did.
Some paste for attaching the covers to the card backings. A tube of 'Border and Overlap Adhesive’ worked for me.
- Some cloth – preferably cotton – 9 ¼” (216mm) long x the thickness of your book + 1” for the spine backing. An old blouse or shirt is suitable and a squared pattern would make it easier to cut it straight.
- A means of clamping the pages together, e.g. two lengths of wood approximately 9” (210mm) long and recommended minimum 1” x 1/2” (25 x 12mm) wide/thick, two clamps, or two nuts and bolts through the wood, or a device such as a workbench with a movable jaw.
- Two pieces of unprinted paper to go between the book and the wood to stop the book receiving dirty marks from the wood or getting stuck to it whilst clamping the pages.
- Clean damp cloth for wiping up surplus adhesive.
The rest of the information including method is available when purchasing the book online.
