My Quiet Blog

Well, I did say a little while ago that I thought things might go quiet here for a bit, while I sorted certain things out. And I’m closer to being able to do that.

I’m not complaining. Just saying.

Anway. Some things you might like to know:
The wonderful Elizabeth Baines is appearing at the Oxfam shop in Didsbury on July 8th.
And the equally wonderful Vanessa Gebbie’s short story collection is now out in paperback.

And now back to work. I’m sure normal posting will resume soon.

PS And I know I said on Twitter that my horoscope said that today was a good for me to get betrothed, but I have done nothing of the sort (there are certain fundamental components lacking) – sorry if I’ve disappointed anyone! And it’s got me thinking, has anyone proposed via Twitter? Or will they? Hmm, I wonder…

  1. At last!! That VG collection is out in paperback – I've been moaning about the lack of one for MONTHS!!!! Now purchased, hurrah!So thanks for the tip.Love & hugsAxxx

  2. Wondering if your visit with your old friend saved you? Resuscitated you? At the very least left you with solid life support? 🙂

  3. Pleasure. Enjoy, Anne! And happy P Day!Hullo, Mare! How lovely to see you over here! Yes, visiting my friend helped an incredible amount. And it was long overdue. He's a great guy and a good listener and talker; I came back feeling much happier about life and better understanding the things that had been getting me down.(I actually blogged about it here: http://nikperring.blogspot.com/2009/06/im-back.html)Do pop back!Nik X

  4. Golly gee, thank you dear Nik for such a lovely mention – and thank you Anne, for buying the book. You may well be the first to see it in paperback… I haven't yet!Nik – I am so glad to hear that things are looking up. vx
