Christmas Beckons!

"Ooh Mum, they're groping me" (my team of carers, Glenda, Julia, Tracey and Roberta).

Back, L. to R., Vera, Barbara, Elaine, Leo, Michael, Geoff and Alan.
Front, L to R., Brian, Shirley and me.





If I could physically accomplish the task I would pat myself on the back for being a little more organised this Christmas! I still haven't purchased all my pressies for family and friends, but I have had my autobiography published (with the book launch being held on January 21st) and written my Annual Newsletter to go out with my Christmas Cards... which should be completed this week.



I was giving thought to going to Tamworth for a few days at Festival time (around the end of January), but dialysis treatment at the Tamworth hospital was not available, so it will have to wait until 2013 before I can consider making the journey up north.

Getting back to my book. Anyone wanting a copy should let me know as soon as possible, because I need to order well in advance from the publishers who are based in the USA. I'm going to have to order an unknown quantity of books before the book launch and I already have 20+ orders to fill, so I'm going to be a busy girl over the next few weeks... yes, I know that should have read "busy BOY", but one does get confused at this time of year!

There is a chance I will be changing my blog site in the near future, but I will give you plenty of notice in case you like to keep up with the scintillating story of my lifestyle... I'm trying to dream up some sensational event to catapult me into the new year, but it looks like trying to flog books will be as close as I can get. Any help you can give me to promote it will be greatly appreciated.

My only public event in recent weeks has been a dinner with friends and family on November 27. The photographs above were taken there.

In closing, for those of you who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a season of love, good health and happiness. The same goes for everyone else as well! See you (God Willing) in 2012.
