kath Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 What does a bit of a drip mean? Nectar, you liked Vara? I didn't like her very much and I think Kath was too nice Being a bit of a drip means being spineless and not a very strong forceful character.

I didn't like her very much and I think Kath was too nice I don't mean I approve of what she did - but I like the way she stuck up for herself and didn't act like a victim. She was a lively character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SjoerdvWijk Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 This is the printed article that was in the local paper Love the article. Now can't wait to read it!!!! But really, the 'Mike' underneath the picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Indeed - I had no idea that I was obsessed with someone called Mike. At least they got the picture right. It isn't the only mistake - they have got me working in completely the wrong town But it was great to see such a big pic of Mika in the paper - a real surprise. I spoke to the journalist a couple of weeks ago and her parting shot was - we will be in touch. I never heard another word so I assumed they wern't running with the story. Then I saw Deb's post on here the other night and googled it - that was the first I knew but I had no idea it would be such a big piece. I sent Dave out on Wednesday morning to get the paper and when he came back he was turning the pages slowly - looking for a little article. We both got a real shock when he turned the page and saw that. It is quite a big regional paper round here - and the group has three titles in three different towns and it is in them all so it is quite a wide coverage so it's great.

No, I haven't sent Mika a copy - I was thinking of giving him one personally but I have mixed feelings about it. I don't know how he would react.

Jojotje Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Kath, Annemaaikie is not a reader. I think the books she's been reading in her life for fun (not for school), we can count them on 1 hand! But she's taking your book to read it when we are on vacation! That's a big compliment for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
