Hi Tom! Just a quick note to tell you a 'cut-finger' story from the other side.... I gave a copy of your book to my Dad for Christmas. When I went home just after Christmas, I was greeted by Mum and sister saying "ha ha you're out of the will now" for I had forgotton my Dad has a phobia of both blood and hospitals. Mum's not even allowed to watch ER. When sister was in hospital having his first grandchild, he spent his visits a fetching shade of grey. So...anyway it turned out he was rather enjoying the book (THANK YOU! My inheritance (the mortgage) is safe!) So last Monday night Dad was doing a bit of washing up while Mum was out. While drying a glass he managed to break the glass and cut rather deeply into the base of his thumb. Apparently there were white bits sticking out etc. The poor man. Having read your book he didn't call an ambulance for fear of being blogged about! He called Mum, but since she was having her hair done she didn't get any messages for 40 mins. He just sat and kept the wound closed as best he could, feeling rather wobbly. Mum zoomed home and took him to the local A&E where he was seen, stiched up and sent home in good time. No tendon damage, but a rather impressive plaster and a rash (he's allergic to plasters) to show for it. Anyway - thought I'd share. Not that he would have called an ambulance anyway, but I thought you'd appreciate that you had definitely got your point across in one household! Will a sequel to your book be out in time for Father's Day? :)
