A crazy and unforgettable week. The good is that in our weekly visit to Urmston, Manchester, to look after our grandsons, I delivered science fiction novels of mine to Urmston Bookshop on 72 Flixton Road M41 5AB. So, come on Urmstonites, make that independent bookshop your number one stop for all your books and small gifts for your loved ones.
Initially I was told the shop didn’t sell any science fiction because no one wants them! What? How do they know if they have none on the shelves. So I snuck in the door with copies of award-winning ARIA: Left Luggage, its sequel ARIA: Returning Left Luggage and Exit, Pursued by a Bee. They took them all. Bargain prices.
In return I bought a copy of that marvellous children’s book, Stuck by Oliver Jeffers. I read it to Oliver, who now attends the local Davyhulme Primary School. He loves books. Yeay.
Shockingly on Monday evening I found my father-in-law on his kitchen floor. He didn’t want us to call an ambulance but we couldn’t be sure of getting him up safely. He’s still in hospital but recovering well. Positive vibes to you, Great granddad Bob.
