Another for my Author blog that may as well also appear here as well. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to maintain both blogs.
At last I have not just proofs, but my own supply of the latest P’kaboo prints for Tabika and Tabika Two, and the proper ones for Darx Circle. I am thrilled with the quality.
Strange that the excitement remains the same for the tenth book as it was for the first. Fingering through the pristine copies is like holding one’s own newborn child. The feeling comes through that it doesn’t really matter all that much if no interest arises, or if they become runaway best sellers. At that moment all that matters is that they exist — something that wasn’t there before is now a reality arising from one’s efforts. This even holds good for revisions/reprints where one knows that the result is now even better than before.
Happy birthday, Col.
To a cool cat as much as a mere cat.

Many thanks. With the onset of thunderstorms, none of us cats are merely as cool as before.

I read you had a visit to the hospital.
Hope you are better for it and did not merge with too much missing?

After a scary C diagnosis, I lost no time in having my pockets picked to pinch my pair of plums, which provided the testosterone feeding this particular type. They have served their purpose for me!

Then thank the gods you emerged relatively unscathed.
May I ask what caused you to seek out a diagnosis?
You can email if you prefer, but it is something that I am concerned about.
Again I am relieved you are okay, Mister N.

Fortunately, my GP (a distant cousin) does an annual physical checkup round about birthday time, including a suspicious look at the prostrate, and this year’s blood count (PSA) had gone through the roof. That alone was enough indication either for treatment over some 3 months or for the immediate surgery. I opted to go the fast route.

Then one can hope it is sorted.

So do I! Even, though, if there are other things needing attention, this was a necessary first step regardless.

Yip. They are for sick people. (Memo: don’t get sick.)

Absolutely. Out of the question. To get sick is not only bad manners, it is ill-advised. (I’m still – not – recuperating from a lousy illness in Paris last July…) 🙂
