Life's little embarrassments

Posted by Simon on 1st, July 2009 at 07:53:18

You know I mentioned the talk I was doing in the Oxfam Bookstore in Exeter on July 11th?

I walked past the store one evening at the weekend, going into town with some friends, and lo!  There was piled a load of my books, plus a picture of your truly leering out from the window.

Apart from frightening the children, it also caused much amusement amongst said friends.

Not to mention much embarrassment for me.

As if it isn't bad enough seeing myself on the TV...

However!  I am, of course, very grateful to Oxfam for their support, and am much looking forward to the event.  If you're about in Exeter that Saturday (4pm) please come along.  Oxfam do wonderful work in trying to relieve poverty across the world, so I'd .like to try to raise as much money as possible. 

Aside from a little chat from me, there'll be lots of copies of my books to sell, which I'm very happy to dedicate to whoever you like for a small extra contribution to Oxfam...
