Thanks for that, Debi. I'm glad now I didn't make it to the Brits finals - I don't have the time! Don't know how you are going to do it. Perhaps it's time to fire up the clone again.
Think I need fire the clone full stop, Rachael. She's not pulling her weight at all as far as I can tell.
And you have August off, right...? I shall never again complain about my workload. Well, maybe just a leetle bit. :)
Heh, heh - like the way that Debi Alper is cropping up all over the place...
Babs - with 6 kids, you are certainly allowed to moan as much as you like.
Clare - yes, I'm the Japanese knotweed of the writers' world.
Way to go on the second print run, Debi!
Good luck with the events, Debi. If you're doing any between 22nd August and 14th September, I might be there!
Wow, busy busy busy, but what a great creative life here. And you grow your own tomatoes too! xx
Liane - for once I'm not looking at your avatar with the usual envy. It's summer!
Miriam - watch this space ...
Sarah - my veg are my pride and joy. It's great to get some dirt under my fingernails.
