It started much like anyother day. Got in a bit earlier than usual so I could set up some software on my long over due new computer. Only to find that my vintage Adobe Indesign isn’t compatable with Windows 7!!!!!!!!! Another fine example of built in obsolescence. Vance Packard theory in The Waste Makers is still very much alive and kicking.

Then just before noon I received a phone call from the new printers who are printing The A – Z of Companion Planting. Book all printed and bound and packed ready for pick up when one of the packers happened to pick up a copy, no doubt attracted to it by the cover with photos taken by Stephen Studd (who took the photographs for The Medicine Garden). She spotted that a massive spelling mistake on the spine – The A-Z of Companionon Planting !!!!! Just a tad embarrassing.

It was a ‘feeling sick’ moment. Still feel gutted but shit happens.

A good reason if ever there is one to take the next Friday 13th off.
