I only have 2 reviews of "Waiting" on my Amazon page. But they are both lovely. And I got a boost yesterday when I got an email from an Oz friend - we gave her a copy of the book when they visited us. Not only did she love it, but a visiting friend picked it up, started reading it, and was enjoying it so much that she took it back to Victoria to finish!
What author could ask for more, that people are enjoying her book?
I listened in to the meeting yesterday - as Col (off on his Detectoring) rang me to say there was a lot of ice about, and he was worried. The thought of another fall... The Watchtower was about courage, which made me feel a complete wimp (which actually I am), but I don't think I am going to be able to be at all courageous in the face of ice. It is too easy to fall. And if I fall I will break something. I am still quite crippled in my left arm from that fall in Sheffield. And also poor old Captain B will be back on nursing duty.
And then I got our calendar in a mess and double booked us for Saturday night. It was Jackie who helped to sort that one out. Now I have managed to get in a muddle all my life, but when it happens in your seventies, it takes on a sinister overtone...
Jean and I went to the Field Service group on Saturday morning - though we did return visits, not first calls, and had some good calls. Still so hard to find people at home though.
I have a talk on Thursday night - just 2 minutes - and I have emailed it to the young sister who is my householder and she will come over on Thursday for a practice session.
We had Jacks over for supper on Saturday - beef chile with small small things (spring onions, chopped tomato, yoghurt, grated cheese) - and lemon drizzle cake with ice-cream after. I made the chile on Friday so it wasn't a rush.
It is a recipe I learnt many many years ago on Planet Expat when I did a Tex Mex cookery course. I have cooked it many times since then, and it has never let me down. The Captain and I finished this batch for our supper tonight.
