Hornsnoggle has arrived!

Forget about the 'chemo journey' for now - I'm sure you've all had your fill of that. Dont worry about the ABs (plenty of time for that in the next few weeks). I'll give you a full report of the Opening Ceremony and first game this Friday, (yes, I'm going, thank you Elgin!). And if anyone is remotely interested in the election in Nov (yawn), put that on the back burner too.
The really BIG news is that Hornsnoggle Ferret has arrived! Hornsnoggle is the 'hero' in my new Childrens book, first one due out very soon, with more to follow. Theres even a stuffed toy and kiddies T shirt coming out to keep Hornsnoggle company. (Thats marketing - speak for adding value and maximising merchandising opportunities). David has done a great job with the illustrations, and a Hornsnoggle website is being developed to inform the world of the latest Childrens phenomena. Move over Dora the Explorer!
Ah well, dreams are free. But Hornsnoggle Ferret has been an ongoing project to keep me active and keep my mind off the you-know-what. Special discounts for book and merchandise bulk orders!
My own 'story' will also be printed next week - written for the family, but if anyone is interested, orders gladly accepetd! Most autobiographies are a real turn-off, so dont worry, I won't take your lack of enthusiasm personally.
Enough self promotion - still six rounds of the chemotherapy to go, things to do, people to support and encourage, family to enjoy, and a wonderful God to thank and praise. Life is good - keep the faith.

  2. Hi Murray and Fay,

    Have a great time at the RWC 'opener' tonight Murray. We will look out for you in the crowd - it seems a long time until the 16th Oct!
    Reserve a couple of (signed) Horsnoggle books for us.

  3. We trust that you and Hornsnoggle enjoy the game and don't get crushed in the rush on the train ... or indeed have to walk too far from the car! We will be watching from the comfort of the laziboys in front of the fire with the good woman pouring out another cup of tea periodically!
    We would like 3 (signed) copies of H Ferret esq. reserved for us please ... when you are famous they can become part of the kids inheritance!
    Have fun and give "Faysie" a hug for us.
