Thanks for this, Michael, always a pleasure to spend time in your convivial company! Truly sorry to hear about your eyesight issues, and I hope things stabilize for you soon. Many of us are pulling for you. Finally, a very Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Sorry to take so long to respond - ill health and deadlines! Ah, many thanks for that. Yes, I have one - in fact I've just bought a couple of Dorothy L Sayers books to read on it!
This was a good reminder for me to recheck Amazon and I'm glad to report, One Last Dance is now available to me in NZ. :) I just bought it, but I have to say I'm disappointed with Amazon's "follow" feature. I sort of naively assumed they would notify me when an author I follow publishes something new.
Sorry to take so long to respond - ill health and deadlines! Thanks for that, Spiro. I really hope you enjoyed the book - I'm still really proud of it, and hope to be able to return to Shanghai again later this year - eyesight, elbow operations and deadlines all allowing. Hope you're well, matey.
It is always nice to listen to you talking about these things that we enjoy so much! I mean it! Something always ends up on the purchase list...as I have said many times, happy to be tempted! I'm sorry to hear about your vision problems, I hope they will improve in the future. It is always difficult to find the right words for such sensitive and personal matters, but I wanted to express my sympathy to you, Mike! Oooh doggies, bet and win easy! Adorable!
Sorry to take so long to respond - ill health and deadlines!Thanks so much for your really kind words, Caterina. I hope to be back more regularly again now, although it's a bit problematic. Still, the eyes seem (he said with fingers crossed) not to be deteriorating so much now that I'm having regular injections, so I'm hopeful! All very best wishes.
@@writerlywitterings Very glad to hear from you again, Mike! You have absolutely nothing to apologise for, I'm thinking of you and always hope for the best! My best wishes to you, dear friend!
Sorry to take so long to respond - ill health and deadlines! The rest of the "pup" is pretty huge too, now she's 8 months old! Many thanks - glad you liked the video!
Great roundup, and good to see some old favourites alongside the wonderful new discoveries. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year, especially on the health front.
So sorry to hear about your vision. Diabetes is such a sneaky, insidious disease. If it doesn't get us one way, it finds another. I'm down to one leg and one eye. The eye is much more worrisome. And the reason I now read more e-books than paper and ink ones.
Oh, I'm with you there, James. The eyes are definitely concerning. Maculopathy is a horrible disease - is that what you have too? I'm intrigued by some recent enhancements to eye treatments, though. I'm on Eylea once a month, but there's a new version which uses a stronger dose that requires only one treatment every three months and seems to have vastly better effect. Keep well, my friend. All best wishes.
Sorry to hear that your diabetes has gone towards the wrong side. However, let me tell you that you look vey animated and jovial, and that is a magnificent signal. Thank you for your video and than you for showing off your very nice dogs!
Sorry to take so long to respond - ill health and deadlines! The ridgeback is adorable. I just have to keep apologising to her for bringing the Bernese Mountain Thug into the house!
I did enjoy it greatly. And I did do the review on Anazon and Good reads. Always love your books (and reading a recommendation of yours now too) Hope your health is improving!
It was great to see a video from you again. I'm really sorry to hear about your health issues. Best wishes !
Many thanks - I really appreciate it!
