The Daily Teaser — 7-2-2016: The Prince of Wales

At LAST … !

I have a Sunday off!

He says, grabbing some tea … 

I work shifts: just in case you did know.

And, as the sales rise and fall over the year, where I work, the hours go up and down.

I can deal with that: I get enough financial help to be able to cope.

But it IS nice to have a Sunday off: it means I can have dinner with my family: including my nephew, Jude, who I haven’t seen for a few weeks.

Frankly … ?   I’m looking forward to that …

*        Oh, I know what you mean, Olga: too many books, and not enough time … !   (I’m sure I’ve heard that before …)

†        Well … it’s only a parallel world in that it’s one with a magic carpet‡, Debbi.   Which reminds me, I’ve really got to re-read Sideways In Time, again.

‡      It’s set in a version of the modern world where Seerkind — Barker’s equivalent to the fairies — exist: and are persecuted by normal humanity.   The carpet — or Fugue — is a hiding place they’ve developed to got out of the way of the book’s villains: a monstrous angel, a human policeman … and a Seerkind who’s been the rejected by her own people.
