The dictionary definiton of the word 'Accident' is 'An unplanned interruption to a planned sequence of events'. And that is how I would be tempted to describe the last ten days or so of my carfefully disorganised and impractical way of being a writer. I will explain. My laptop went belly-up on me; I could only use it with the mains plugged in. I bought a new battery and fitted it, but no change, so it was off to PC World and the purchase of a new Laptop. I had to wait three days for the store to set it up, which meant not even being able to limp along with my old one. It was like losing an arm. I do have a desktop in the back room, which I rarely use, but none of my work is updated on it, which renders it impractical. Once I had my new one to hand, things became frustratingly difficult because most of my saved bookmarks (which I copied from my old laptop), were not recognised by my new one. To cut a long story short; it has taken several emails to 'Support@whichever website is not working' and putting up with the frustration of going round in circles. BUT! I am just about there, which is why I'm posting this short update. Oh, and I can only access the Wix.com link by using an ingocnito browers. Rich, ain't it?

"A Gifted Narrator" — Financial Times
Charlotte de la Cour returns to France in the late Spring of 1940 having been recruited as an SOE agent to be embedded in Paris before the expected occupation by Nazi Germany. Her work as a waitress at the Hotel Metropole brings her face to face with many senior German Officers where her lip-reading and language skills are used to learn as much as she can from their unguarded loose talk. But she gets drawn deeper and closer to the growing resistance movement in France where she learns what living on the edge is really like and what price she will pay if she fails.
