July already..

Time marches on, the English summer conspicuously here as we have had a few hot days, the media talk of hosepipe bans, and the rain when it comes is warmer than  it was in winter. England's gallant football team have been dramatically knocked out of the World Cup which is so annoying because the longer they are in it then the quieter the roads are. Mind you, if they could actually play well enough to justify even a portion of their pay they might do better.
Holidays in Italy beckon in a few weeks' time which - with Schumacher out among the empties in the Grand Prix, Rossi laid up in Moto GP, Italy out of the World Cup even sooner than England, and the England coach being Italian, then at least there won't be any sport-related crowing from the locals.
And I don't even like sport - except that which involves the internal combustion engine of course.
Book-wise sales plod on happily, and this little-known author is making moves towards a boook signing or two. Watch this space for details as and when they emerge...
