I just fell off my chair. The Kickstarter for my new book is at 98 percent funded!!! It’s a Christmas miracle. Thanks to all who’ve bought a copy of my memoir. I wonder who is going to take this thing over the line.... Well, I did it. I launched a book. Who’d have thought it. Thanks to @coutumecafe for hosting, to all who came along despite the traffic chaos, to the generous people who have already backed the Kickstarter campaign - but mostly to my lovely wife @parisianpostcards for putting up with me talking about this for such a long time. If you missed my book reading, it’s on Facebook and YouTube. The link to buy the book (and more!) is in my bio. It would mean the WORLD to me if you support it. As for me, time for some sleep! Looking forward to seeing how this develops overnight - and will respond properly to all in the morning :) MERCI! Amazing sunset right now. If I time it right, maybe the sun will shine through the Eiffel Tower and make a perfectly Parisian shadow on my living room wall.... #sunsetinparis #parissunset #eiffeltower #parisview #parisviews #eiffeltowerparis #parisbalcony
