This is what sheep get up to in Wales."
The coolest thing ever.

Push your way through a long shaggy coat like that one and I wouldn't be surprised to find a lamp post standing along in the snow :-)

Mind you my daughter was shocked when I replied with that on a text.
Mind you Jim replying to a text is a shock anyway

I am now long sighted (My eyes were changed from being 11 diopteres down to -0.4 diopteres) but for reading glasses Poundland £1 plastic reading glasses are made to my prescription :-)
So every jacket, the car, the computer, and various other places have £1 reading glasses strategically placed :-)
And the colours! Blues are vibrant, greens so much richer :-)


I'm genuinely in two minds about the advice. I've never worn contact lenses, I was never that pretty that glasses made a difference, so that side of things never came into the equation.
I was lucky in the quality of the surgeon who did the work, he is a real craftsman. Not only that but he does everything with eyedrops, no needles. But even in the same hospital, some of the surgeons feel that they ought to use an injection into the eye as well and that would probably have freaked me out, although I do know people who have had that.
My general rule in life has been to avoid medical entanglements, surgery, tablets and similar until they were absolutely necessary (I don't take paracetamol every year for example, have no piercings, tattoos or whatever) but when they are necessary, do them. I've noticed that once you get to a certain age the NHS seems to organise your social life for you and at that point things to to hell in a handcart :-( So I'm all for putting that age off for as long as possible.

It's the most amazing thing.

my cup runneth over :-)

At least I'm be able to boast to Will, "When she read my stuff she laughed so much her socks are damp"


Try the local library. I've done a couple of talks at ours and they are brilliant.

It's something I'm trying to work my way into and the library looks a good idea. They have a teens reading group and a creative writing group that might be interested

Trust me, I scintillated. Indeed I positively coruscated
They handed out welding goggles :-)

How I conjecture your nature specific
Way above in the ethereal stratosphere
Like a giant gem carbonaceous.
When torrid Phoebus refuses his presence
And ceases to lamp with fierce incandescence
Then you illumine the regions supernal
Scintillate, scintillate, semper nocturnal.
Then the victim of hospiceless peregrination
Gratefully hails your minute coruscation
He could not determine his journey's direction
But for your bright scintillating protection.

What have you been taking? Phnark!

;)
Actually, I wish I could take that as mine own.
Wonderful, isn't it?

But yes,impressive

I think I'd want guaranteed sales for this ;-)

As a correction to the above statement, it seems I have sold one book so far this month. A steady trickle is better than a dead stop, I guess :~)

Thats great, Jim!

My hope is that
The Cartographer's Apprentice: Leave Them Wanting More will act as a lead to draw people in. At 99p (Now apparently 79p) it's cheap enough for people to take a punt on. Then ideally they'll be drawn in. (I suppose I shouldn't keep calling it 'The crack dealer's gambit')
