Hi Mimi,
Back home at last. Parties are always a bit tedious, but are helpful in bringing together friends who would otherwise never see each other. After a late night we all went and had a swim in the ocean this morning early, which felt like a good, positive start to the new year. Thank you for your wishes - may you also have a peaceful year of growth, good health and interesting things.
Thanks very much for signalling this book – I’ll have a look at the bookstores when they re-open on Saturday to see if I can find it. If not I’ll wait until my order from Amazon arrives before placing a new one. Unfortunately the shipping seems to cost more than the value of the books, so I think I will have to place larger orders in future to make it worth while. Sorry you got rapped over the knuckles about the double inverted comma’s – if you do write to Dr Bob, let him know that I went to Amazon via the Psycho Babble website which you had pointed me towards, so he should be getting his commission on the two books I ordered at $19.60 (it would be better if he could collect a percentage of the shipping costs at $22.97 – LOL).
Must go and sort out the chaos my son produced while we were away.
Bestest
