England Won!

I'm bewildered.  By now England have traditionally gone out of the World Cup after a penalty shoot out, usually against Germany.  Also, I thought there were some very nice looking Swedish players and I suspect I may have a soft spot for a Viking.  DH is still my favourite.

In other news, bear has a phone, and what is more, it is a (reconditioned) iPhone 6s.  This is fancier than my phone and was more expensive.  I winced when I bought it, even though I got a good deal.  It was a reasonable price (confirmed by DH who has a lot of exposure to phone prices), it was unlocked, it was fulfilled by Amazon with their legendary customer service and when it arrived yesterday it looked like new.  DH sorted out a sim card and bear is now good to go.  He can phone me.  He can also collect phone numbers from his friends who are going to a different High School. 

DH has been particularly awesome with this, especially as he is poorly.  I am working on the fuss for him, poor lad. 

Tales from the White Hart is now out on Amazon as an ebook.  It is still free to read on At the Sign of the White Hart, which has caused a few hiccups as I got contacted by the publisher of this and the paperback version to confirm that I was actually the author as the content is freely available on the internet.  I want to shout out to CreateSpace who asked me to justify why I was putting content that was so easily to obtain in a book.  It is great that they did because it means that they will check if someone else tries to publish my stuff. 

I am now making an executive decision that I am not doing anything except catch up with myself and at least some of the house until Monday when I will start trying to learn how to do publicity for a book, which apparently I should have started three months ago.  I'm going to practice on Tales from the White Hart and work up.  I am also going to try and get Tales from the White Hart on Smashwords, which isn't easy, and work around the paperback.  Tonight I'm going to take alcohol and relax.
