Wrapping up

I've not been on  here for a few days again -Apologies for the lack of normal service, but I've been ...well not sure really- busy, nithered by the cold, not in the mood to blog, a bit glum, well a little of all the above.

It's been freezing here the last few days -and yes I mean that literally- by early evening on Sunday the temperature in our patio had dropped to -1º. I can honestly say that it's not been this cold since we moved here, wo we're keeping well wrapped up with the heating blasting through the house too. We were promised snow but no go on that one. The frozen roads in the mountain did put pay to a trip to Ikea though when Liam had problems getting into town and then had a puncture, but that's been re-scheduled for tomorrow.

This weekend I've been talking 'The Magic' again. On Friday Michael called to discuss translating it into German. He's doing a translation course and would like the experience to translate a couple of books. He also thought he might be able to find a publisher in Germany, or at least help the promotion. And with a contact who is a publisher in London we've fingers crossed that the English version will be taken up too. Fingers crossed.

As for 'Winner'- It was a rather strange experience to walk into a class on Saturday and see my book in one of the students bags- She'd brought it in for signing. And almost as strange both books are now available on Amazon.co.uk
