THE LAST POST

This will be the last blog of 2007 in all probablility unless I feelt he urge between Christmas and my New Year tour which starts on 29th December. I have had quite a lot of touring work this winter but will take a break in the New Year to conentrate on writing. Have some good things I think for THE GUIDE BOOK which hopefully will be a popular stocking filler in a year's time.
Very little guiding work at the the moment which is disappointing - I suppose there are just too many guides for the number of dollars available to employ them. I cannot complain really as I have plenty of touring work and so am not unemployed or broke but it would be nice to get one or two day jobs - maybe in the inter Christmas New Year period when people are filling the shops and pausing before the next party. Can't help thinking that the one timeI have been late for work virtually in my entire career is costing me dear. I won't do it again. Promise...
I will be in Finland later this week for a really cold pre-Christams break with Leena and then in Winchester with my ex and children on the day and back to London until going on tour on 29th December. I usually aim to kick start the season on the day after my birthday on 4th March - although I do have memories of having to get up at some ungodly hour on my 40th to go to Gatwick to meet a group of agents for a 'fam' (familiarisation) tour. With my New Year tour ending on 3rd January that shoudl give me two months to write properly instead of doodling like this.
Happy Christmas to any reader(s) and will be back God willing in 2008...
