My ISBN: 1-4116-5383-1

Yippee! Now I can give it to my family for Christmas and pretend like it's a REAL book. And it's available from Amazon.com but not for international shipping. But that's ok, because Amazon.com would only give me um, less than 1/5 of the royalty I get from lulubooks.

Current domestic plan: Ailbhe and Rob to do no more than 15 minutes housework each after Linnea is in bed, and Ailbhe to pick up the slack in the daytimes. If this isn't possible we'll rethink, but Linnea likes to help these days.

The health visitor was around again and she has got me back on the list for the psychologist at the hospital, and agrees that if we prioritise Rob's depression now -- since it's probably easier to fix than mine, with no PTSD complications etc -- the whole family will be better off, since then only one person will be seriously messed in the head.

Linnea and I spent the morning watching TV and dashing to the loo and the afternoon painting. I was able to eat by about 2 pm, and had almost a whole piece of home-baked bread, and I ate a nice light dinner, too.

Linnea is no longer ill, but is visibly convalescent. We are not - repeat not - going to the Swedish lesson tomorrow. I'm too ill and it would be too tiring for Linnea. Rob will probably go, and fill me in later. Unless he's too tired too. It's a beginners' class and we're not quite as beginnery as all that, Gotlandsk aside.

[1] - good, good; keep us posted on her progress, please.

[3] - you consume a rob-worth of meat a month? (i'd rather hope you'd refrain from feeding her own dad to your little monst^W wonder...) (though doubtless she'd consume him with gusto, given the culinary opportunity - and the cuttles :-) )

[2] - well, i thought about eight for friends & raletions this hogswatch, and that's excluding those who'll be familiar with 'em from lj &'ll prob'ly've ordered for themselves by then, if they want it; and then i thought, if i stick one in the window & have a copy in the shop to show, there's a fair chance i could sell one or two.. ..quite probably more.. ..especially if they were "signed by the author" & could be advertised as such in the window...

so i s'pose i'm looking at around ten copies... with possible further orders, though likely each'd be for fewer, after the first - if you're agreeable:

do you feel that would that be worth your doing?
