I had an assignation today.
With someone I’ve never met. We had been put in touch by a mutual contact. I'd offered to take a package from the UK to Bangkok, arrange a rendezvous and to deliver it. It was carefully wrapped in an innocuous WHSmiths bag. This product, I was told, wasn't available in Thailand...
I nearly left home in dark glasses and the collar on my mac turned up; then I remembered I didn’t have a mac, and even if I had got one it would be hot and sweaty in the Bangkok heat.
We arranged to meet at Starbucks on Thonglor. I pushed the parcel over the table to her.
Inside was ‘Heaven Can Wait’ by Cally Taylor.
Then we had coffee and a good old natter.
When I left her I had to go to Emporium and I can’t go to Empo without also going to Kinokuniya the big beautiful bookshop. I walked in through the door and this is what I saw:

How exciting meeting an old friend, albeit in book form, so unexpectedly like that.
Debs, it really is.
Sounds like a fabulous delivery! And the book is well worth the read too, I read it last Saturday - never read a whole book in one day but I simply couldn't put it down!
CJ xx
that made me laugh! :)
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the book over to S. I can't believe you went to all that trouble and all the time my book was in Bangkok! Did make me grin.
CJ, it was very funny, wasn't it?
B, ;D
Cally, it didn't matter at all. It was no trouble. My suitcase was overweight but not to the tune of one 'Heaven Can Wait'!
