Thanks Ann,

?

The UK Amazon site was not showing this this morning, and it was dvdplanetstore which wanted to charge me $35 for shipping. No sign of the UK based warehouse in my searches.

?

I’ll look again, sometimes when someone searches, a firm rationalises their options,,,,,

?

Much appreciated

Amazon has it (at above your price point before shipping), but I found this: . They seem to have a UK-based warehouse.

Meanwhile, you and DH continue in my thoughts and in my heart.

Hello all,

?

This might sound a bit cheeky, but is there anyone in the US? who could buy me an English language DVD of “Star Sand” by Roger Pulver, which was released in 2017, and mail it to me? The cheapest quote I can find for the mailing is $35, which seems excessive. Full reimbursement by Paypal!

?

We are reading the novella in Book Group (at the end of October, so no rush) and I wanted a copy of the DVD to share around. But not at over $50 for the purchase and mailing…..

I hope everyone is having a restful summer. Here in the south of England we have been having a pleasantly cool, if wet, “traditional Scottish summer pre 2000”. Only 500 miles south, and many years on, from when this was customary. Personally I love it, and so does the garden. I didn’t even know our tree could produce such huge apples, after drought summers all the eleven years we have now been in Oxfordshire.

DH’s scheduled treatment of a month of radiotherapy is off, as due to his haemorrhages in June this was no longer considered safe. The surgeons had already rejected the conventional abdominal surgeries as unsafe for several reasons, so we had eight unpleasant weeks while the consultants argued to and fro about which was the “least bad option”. Finally someone thought of a specialist in London who does a rare (experimental) robotic keyhole surgery which seemed as though it might be a good choice. So that is now booked for 29 August, and it is fingers crossed all round that everything will go smoothly.

?

I have now been in one place for 5 weeks, which is a rare thing in recent years, and am feeling a little more grounded. Doing more knitting again, and lots of reading and gardening. And dog-walking, of course, courtesy of the adorable Freddie. DH will be home next week for a scan, and then for a month at the end of August for surgery and recovery. After seven months of waiting, you can imagine how much we look forward to getting this done.
