Catching Bill

Somewhere in the middle of washing and making a whole new list of things that need to be done before we depart, or perhaps when we return or better still, while we are away, a plan developed.

After a quick review of what we need to do we discovered that we needed precisely twelve and a quarter day's to have the boat packed and all the end of summer jobs done and we had exactly eleven days until we leave.   This was not entirely good news, so we decided to have a wander round the village to consider our predicament.

Lagarde is not a large village, and wandering around it is not actually the sort of pastime which is conducive to passing a lot of time, unless of course one bumps into Bill, who bounded over with his eyes all asparkle  to greet us with the news that he'd (finally) published his first book.   It's an ebook of course, self published and by his own admission apparently not very good, but it is done.    News like that deserves a celebration of course, and we spent a terribly long time that evening interrogating him about the details of the story and trying to work out how we could get hold of a signed copy of the first edition.   I suspect had the red wine not been in moderation, there may have been an attempt to take a Black Marker Pen to the computer screen.

When all that was done, we had ten days remaining, and no matter how hard we looked and from which angle, still twelve and a half days worth of work to do.

For the curious or even the adventurous perhaps, Bill's book is available for Kindle only at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Revelation-Destinys-Children-ebook/dp/B0093LMROY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348034389&sr=8-1
