Thanks, Deirdre:

I just had a cup of tea, but maybe coffee will keep me awake. I've been very busy these last few days, starting to promote my book. It's very time consuming, but worthwhile.

Now that my leg is healed, I'm back to my 3 and a half mile walks along the river in the morning. I really love them. It's a time for quiet reflection right now, because Ruth has a cold and can't come. There are other pleasures when she can walk with me.
