further midday updates

• IT IS RIORDON'S BIRTHDAY.  Happy birthday to the kid who is officially the most awesome kid in the world.
• The nicest Joule comment ever.
• Two reviewers in Canada want physical copies of Borrowable: one says they will probably review it and one might review it. One other reviewer doesn't want it because it's self-published. I will therefore be ordering more author copies when my paycheque comes through.
• The Launchpad people will allow Shavian translations only if we first fix the bugs in Launchpad which are holding it up. Arc does not seem to think this will be a major difficulty.
• Cambridge University Library "would be delighted" to add Borrowable to their collections.
• I have just received a (free) review copy of Writing Children's Books For Dummies.
• I have finished A Tale of Two Guinea-Pigs and thoroughly enjoyed it. A review follows, later today.
• Did I mention there was a quiz on the Borrowable site now? And the start of a recipe collection?
