Eh?..
Meanwhile, #12 in biographies overall - two places after Alan Partridge. That seems about right.

YES! Awesome. 149. At this rate, we might even beat the 161 that is the current SSi Publishing all-time record (the second day of the high intensity book).

WAIT A MINUTE! @petermescall
You recorded this yes? AND YOU DARE TO SAY YOU’RE STILL JUST A LEARNER!
Sorry, @aran I just had to interrupt your happiness with this! as I’m amazed in deed with this recording.
And on topic … i’m a slow reader so I am sad to say you won’t see a review as yet until I read the whole book. But if I turn things a bit around and think a bit in the future … something just has to stay in store for future days and if even one single review. For the time when lights go off, everything is calm and (a bit) lonely and only lonely travellers would pass by occassionally …

@aran bach, I put in my review a tiny bit before finishing the book, but don’t feel guilty! How do you get to read the reviews? I tried, but only got numbers and ratings.
What I really logged in to say is, PUBLISH it YN GYMRAEG!
People who learned from the cradle might not think to read a Kindle in English. Wouldn’t Gomer publish it on paper in Welsh? I think, as well as laughing, Cymru would learn a lot about how it feels to be a ‘denied by circumstances’ learner and how much learners appreciate encouragement and don’t want instant switch to Saesneg.
Your story so paralleled my experiences, with me chickening out when you ploughed on! Look who picked the very English-speaking southern Gower instead of Porthmadog. Gogledd a Chymraeg! The only difference is that I was wrapped in Hanes Ein Wlad and Nationalism when you were still in far off lands! (possibly your cradle?)

Very kind words, Jackie, thank you - I think the work of translating it is probably not something I could easily fit in right now, unfortunately - plus my written Welsh leaves plenty to be desired!
Meanwhile, we’re up to 171, so this is now a record-breaking day (in the little world of SSi!)… Catrin’s just said she’d take me out for a bite to eat if we could get anyone to sit on the kids, but as it is maybe we’ll open a bottle of Prosecco a little later on…

I know the feeling. I gave up the Englyn because I have a 20 line about Gwlad circling my head in mixed Wenglish - likely never to be written - but, constructively, couldn’t your lovely wife translate it???
p.s. found how to read reviews. Is Ann Jones dy fam?
I’ll make a note to ask her the next time I see her stop working for more than thirty seconds - should be within a decade or so!
No, Ann Jones is no relation - but what a lovely, detailed, thoughtful review…
Early morning here in New Zealand, managed to buy on the UK Amazon site and read the first 3 chapters. I think my review will be too late to help achieve any records but hope it will make the record more difficult to beat. Unless there’s a separate list for Amazon NZ!

Please don’t disillusion me again, Hen bach; I thought you were at least “Licensed to kill”.
(Licensed to Kindle, perhaps )
