Happy Birthday Philip. Facebook. made a video. It's rubbish so I am giving you a cake instead.
And here's me on a diet ;-)
Virtual cake has no calories. You can have a nice big slice :)

Yes, that that that...
I'm delighted to announce the launch of the paperback version of my Christmas book:http://philwhiteland.blogspot.com/201...
Is it printed on christmas paper?

Extra difficult to read?
Gingerlily - All kinds of everything! wrote: "Extra difficult to read?"It would depend on the design. You might get away with a white horse in the snow.
Yeah, but you can bet that a crucial word would be obscured by his eye or something.

You can talk your way out of anything, can't you!

Oh and I'm sure you can too Jim!

Oh, that's what they were doing, was it?
Just ignore the fact that they were facing away from you...

And I'm sure it was a complete coincidence that their belts broke all at the same moment...

Just posted this on my blog. I think you might quite like it, particularly if you have a slightly dark sense of humour ;-)https://philwhiteland.blogspot.com/20...
This isn't exactly on my blog but it probably soon will be. There's definitely something about this time of year that spurs me to write...like this:https://www.abctales.com/story/philwh...

You know those irritating adverts selling funeral plans? Well, I thought Joshua and Archibald might have sone views on those, so...https://www.abctales.com/story/philwh...
fascinating, not something I'd thought of
You should have a go, it's quite fun. Not sure it does anything for book sales, but still...
I've done a little but it was because I was, for a while 'an expert' :-(

I confess that when I was an 'expert' and had an hour to fill, I tended to talk for twenty minutes and then get the questions session to become a group discussion, because that way I knew we were talking about something that interested them :-)

I cycled through Torremolinos over thirty years ago now and it looked like a somewhat upmarket Blackpool, more 'St Annes' than Lytham

It was actually very pleasant until a certain U.K. football team's supporters arrived for a match. Thereafter, you were reluctant to speak English for fear of being tarred with the same brush!
yes we ate at a bar half way out of town, were offered tapas, bought beer at the same price as locals, and our bikes were brought in off the street by the owner.Then a bunch of football supporters or whatever arrived, had one very expensive drink and left heading back to beach area :-)
