    Thank you!
    I did think, after cessation of activities at lunchtime yesterday due to extreme illness (I started Friday night, can't remember saturday but do feel the vodka & chocolate cake EzBird made on Sunday was the last straw) I was going to be fine today. I was wrong. Ohhhh, how wrong I was... sigh.
    :o)

    Hi Rachel if you want to earn £5000 for writing try Playboy, and no they don't want porn. Type playboy submissions into google and that will take you to their web site.

    Very true, I was begining to wonder though last week because they were taking so long, and I had already missed one charity event which I had promised to donate some books in order to raise money for cancer, very annoying! But I spoke to her yesterday and she has another event coming soon :-)

    A swim, just what I need, but sat in my office sending books out to news papers for reviewing and publicity, don't think I am going to get much time to chill today!

    Second attempt at posting (sigh!) Thanks again for your comments. The story is based on historical fact tied around family history and anecdotes passed down from generation to generation. Yes, there was Yiddish speaking Paddy's. Anyone that lived in the Leylands area of Leeds in that period spoke Yiddish. There was such a myriad of nationalities and Yiddish was the only commonality. Very few spoke English.And the man who met the trains was an actual person.

    Noooo, this is my evening gown cupcake - just back from the dry-cleaners and I couldn't resist putting it on. My pink one was due a wash, anyway. It's always nice to have another dress in your wardrobe.
