Oh marvellous Alison. When will it be published and when will volume 2
appear in the UK.
I just spent a fortnight organising and tidying up my financial affairs
after my 78-year-old friend dropped dead leaving everything in a dreadful
mess. I learnt a lesson there. And I have been bringing my website
up-to-date which was another massive job. So having done these tasks I
treated myself to the 12 CDs of the extended Lord of the Rings on DVD from
Amazon and they arrived yesterday afternoon. So I have something to occupy
myself for the next few weeks.
