About to hit the big time… Day 219
Monday 26th February Day 219
It’s cruising week! Well, it was… more on that later.
I’m about to hit the big time after I received my PLR statement; this is money authors receive for people borrowing their books from a library. I think it’s something like 13p per loan which is very good if you’re well known enough to have your books loaned out a lot. I only managed 14 loans for my first book in the Fantasy Series; Escape which are the only books of mine in the library at the moment so I won’t be booking a cruise ship holiday for all my friends just yet. Newark Library where they are stocked, is being refurbished at the moment so I suppose that won’t help. But if you use libraries and can request one of my books that would be great.
The car is due to go back today so we head into Stafford and Chris drops me off in town on route as I have an eye test booked at Specsavers. Thought I might as well get it done whilst we are still here. It’s funny because when I sit there waiting to be seen the young lad asks me if he can check my address and I say; I don’t have an address because I live on a boat. The young person is suitably impressed and says that is ‘very cool’ ((He didn’t mean you were cool just that the lifestyle was cool)) Whatever.
Eye test done, I meet up with Chris after he’s dropped of the hire car. It really is a very good service from Enterprise. Then it back to the bus and home where we decide to start fitting the carpet in the lounge.
It’s the anniversary of my dad passing away and some years are harder than others so it pays to keep busy. I cannot believe 23 years have gone by in the blink of an eye! I’m always one for making the most of life because it really does go by too quickly the older you get! Stay safe and look after each other. Day done. Until tomorrow. x
P.S. I’m just going to do a little experiment this week and set the blogs to be live at 6.30pm. If you normally read them in the morning you can always pop and read them on the weekly blog which will have been posted yesterday ((Signal permitting!))
