poverty, and be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> and out of mental hospitals for an elapsed<br />

total of five years <strong>in</strong> that time, caus<strong>in</strong>g that for <strong>the</strong> last sixteen<br />

years. With <strong>the</strong> new venture <strong>with</strong> www.book-promotion.com<br />

go<strong>in</strong>g so very well, is that at long, long last – all about to<br />

change for <strong>the</strong> very much better <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> near future?<br />

Tuesday was very quiet <strong>in</strong>deed. Julie brought some red w<strong>in</strong>e<br />

around, and said two days later that was her only reason for<br />

snogg<strong>in</strong>g me on my sofa about eight times that even<strong>in</strong>g!<br />

On Wednesday her carpet was due to be fitted at 1.30pm, only<br />

<strong>the</strong> fitter and she had a misunderstand<strong>in</strong>g, so <strong>in</strong>stead it was<br />

fitted on Thursday morn<strong>in</strong>g. Because of <strong>the</strong> misunderstand<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

I could not attend <strong>the</strong> second meet<strong>in</strong>g of Ware U3A (University<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Third Age) as planned. I had a chat over <strong>the</strong> ‘pond’<br />

electronically <strong>with</strong> lulu staff about <strong>the</strong>ir cont<strong>in</strong>ued failure to<br />

repr<strong>in</strong>t my books. I emailed Manuela hav<strong>in</strong>g looked at <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

example websites for o<strong>the</strong>r authors. Could I change my m<strong>in</strong>d a<br />

second and f<strong>in</strong>al time and ask for a ‘how to order’ page <strong>after</strong> all<br />

– as I saw that <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r websites gave a whole set of<br />

bookshops and book price comparison websites on that same<br />

page?<br />

Julie’s pale blue carpet was fitted <strong>in</strong> due course on Thursday<br />

morn<strong>in</strong>g and I helped her shove furniture around that morn<strong>in</strong>g<br />

before feel<strong>in</strong>g very tired and go<strong>in</strong>g to bed aga<strong>in</strong>, hav<strong>in</strong>g got out<br />

of bed at 9am when she phoned me <strong>with</strong> a wake-up call <strong>the</strong>n.<br />

Her flat at last had floor cover<strong>in</strong>g, and was transformed <strong>with</strong> a<br />

pale colour carpet – much lighter! I had had <strong>the</strong> immersion<br />

heater pump replaced that Monday, and now <strong>the</strong> plumbers<br />

called aga<strong>in</strong> and replaced <strong>the</strong> bathroom s<strong>in</strong>k taps – <strong>the</strong> hot tap<br />

had a corroded washer, apparently, expla<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g why it gave out<br />

a black messy discharge of oxide. That even<strong>in</strong>g I emailed<br />

Kumar, Manuela’s IT Director, ask<strong>in</strong>g him directly to confirm<br />

about <strong>the</strong> ‘how to order’ page – and <strong>the</strong> fact that as a result<br />

<strong>the</strong>re would no longer be any need for a ‘how to order’ l<strong>in</strong>k at<br />

<strong>the</strong> bottom of every s<strong>in</strong>gle page of <strong>the</strong> planned web site. There<br />

was at last a positive reply by email from Lulu, say<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>the</strong>y<br />

would repr<strong>in</strong>t all my books <strong>the</strong> way I had asked! Victory!<br />
