I mentioned last week that my husband had purchased me a surprise present–a Pandora bracelet. This week he brought me home an All Black jacket (rugby team) and a T-shirt with a tui on the front (NZ bird). Oh, and a chocolate fish. All were unexpected surprises, although much appreciated.
I said thank you and then said to him, “Okay, who are you, and what have you done with my husband?” Then I said, “Do you have a guilty conscience?”
He assured me that the presents were because he likes me. LOL – I’m still not convinced, and I’m watching him closely, although I have to say, I’m enjoying all the presents.
I received a contract for book eight in my Middlemarch series this morning. CatNap introduces a pair of tigers to Middlemarch, a brother and sister. CatNap is the brother’s story, and the next story I write will be the sisters. I’m also closer to dealing with Sly and Joe Mitchell, the twins. Watch this space.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday. Keep safe.

Congrats on the contract. Could you tell your hubby to talk to my hubby maybe he could give him some pointers on the gift giving. LOL
Have a great day.

Woo – you’re on fire! Good thing you’ve got that chocolate fish to keep things under control.
After the holidays, if you’re wondering what to do…Tag! You’re it!

Susan – yes, I’ve been very spoilt recently.

Yikes, Julia! You did have to pick a day when I’m feeling really crappy with the start of the flu! Luckily, my camera needs new batteries before it will work. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Thanks, Debby. I’ve wanted a Pandora bracelet for a long time too. Hubby really surprised me when he arrived home with one.
