Reasons to be Cheerful

Yippee! 200 copies of my book have shipped from Seville, on their way to La Palma. The printers say they should be here in two weeks, although it wouldn't astonish me if it took a few days longer.

And I'm halfway through the first draft of the translation.

And the postman brought a nice cheque for my story "Scream Quietly" which will be in a time travel anthology shortly. (Yes, of course I'll let you know when it's published.) My head's been so full of the translation that I forgot all about it.

So all in all, I'm felling pretty cheerful.
