This was worth waiting for.

Bath and Swindon here I come, both on the same day, but what else is an ex stalker to do?

Jasper's British Signing Tour

And a talk here in Nottingham! Yay!

Mrs. SkidMarks & I will be at Waterstones, Deansgate on the 27th.

Crikey, where on Earth is Deansgate?

I'll give you a clue - despite persistent rumours to the contrary, there is only one football team there, and they wear sky blue.

Ah, British names. You have the best sounding places. Old yet quirky and quite modern in an antique fashion. Here, we have towns called Flourbag and Gluepot and place called Orange in rural Victoria, whilst Echuca sounds like a demented sneeze.

Egon, it is a street in Manchester.

Geg, you are of course correct: the good team's ground is mainly in Salford.

Ah, once again he has kindly arranged his schedule to mine, arriving in Cambridge on a Tuesday, my one day off.

And once again I will find myself queuing up with a small child who will probably get very upset that someone else is writing in books without any reprimand from me, but she gets in trouble when she does it, then get to hear about it for weeks afterwards ("You're unfair!").

Distract her with something shiny?

Or ice-cream, but in a book shop that may backfire....

Note for anybody: Tickets for Nottingham talk not available until New Year.

I emailed my order for tickets at Foyles.
I think they sould rename the store Ffloyes for the evening.
