The Big Book Launch

 It was difficult, that couple of weeks leading up to the launch of What my Doctors Didn't Tell me About Cancer at Waterstones on 25th July.  Should I postpone?  We decided to wait.  I didn't feel bad but the Covid tests kept coming back positive and the information from the NHS, about when it would be safe to be seen in public again, seemed ambivalent.  A body of advice said we should go for it and on Wedesday  24th I tested negative. 😅

Over thirty people turned up and I signed nearly enough books to require embrocation.  The interaction between people was wonderful.    Billy, the Waterstones manager said, "It was such a wonderful event and very well received.I'm glad we had, just enough, chairs to accommodate everyone. Everyone left with a smile, which, for me, is indicative of how much they took for the night."

 

A video of the 18 minute talk (thanks to daughter Jinny) will be    available on YouTube shortly, along with podcasts and videos from the interview programme that a is taking place thoughout July, August and September - eight in all.

Now I have to work on building my stamina up after July's health issues.  I'm a bid 'Bidenesque' on my feet at the moment and run out of energy fairly quickly.  Fortunately summer seems to have come so I can walk and garden daily. Liz and I visited Llangorse Lake yesterday and I had one of the best night's sleep in a long time.
