Croeso! (One advantage of being still stuck in bed trying to shake off a particularly nasty bug is having time to have a look at that, albeit with a few less brain cells firing than normal.)
Is it something you wrote a while ago and just decided to publish?

Ugh, that sounds horrible - brysia wella!

I wrote it ages ago, and have had it in mind for a while to get around to self-publishing one of these days (and suddenly found a burst of energy to take my mind off moving…;-))…

Glad you got round to it! I didn’t think it sounded quite current somehow.

My god. 5 chapters in. It’s like the last 5 months all over again.

I won’t post any spoilers but I recognise every single reaction. My own. And that of people I know.

The blood boiling. The apprehension. The confusion.

Oh how I long for the day I can stop saying I’m a learner!!!

Bought but not read yet. I’m sure it will be a great read, but I misread the title and thought it was “Some sex on a hill” and assumed it was a useful manual for those tricky moments when passion overtakes you on a slope. Apparently I was wrong:blush:

really enjoyed it too - so many parallel experiences. how we didn’t bump into each other in Aberystwyth, I don’t know!

Now that’s a ‘make my day’ kind of response… :star: :star2:

Did you go Wlpan in Aberystwyth?

#122

no, but I was in uni there (‘mature’ student, haha) 1999-2003 and Y Cwps was basically a second home. In fact I’m even sure I helped Han with the PA for the Sian James gig you mention!

PS… and that Llanelli one was my first Eisteddfod too!

I’m 5 chapters in and have to force myself to put it down because I have much to accomplish today. Really enjoying it! :slight_smile:

Thank you so much, Anna!.. :slight_smile: :star2:

We must, without question, have spent a healthy number of evenings in the Cwps at the same time as each other…:slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I would have said hello, but I was too busy drowning my many and various embarrassments in drink.
