Sorry, I couldn't resist letting my ego out of the box for a second there with the title of this post.
The reason for this uncharacteristic hubris?
This:
Yep, Spalding now sits in the top three positions in the Amazon UK Kindle Humour chart.
Woo... and indeed... hoo.
I don't know if it means anything in the grand scheme of things, but it's certainly a big deal for me. I can't think of any other self-published author in the UK (or even elsewhere) who's managed to do this, and am therefore Captain Proudpants and no mistake.

In slightly more commonplace Spalding news, I managed to nearly expose myself to two passing women this morning.
Our apartment here in Oz is on the ground floor. You'd think that having been here for several weeks I would have learned not to throw open the curtains in only my boxer shorts.
You'd think, but you'd be wrong.
Luckily I was wearing my bestest pair of boxers, so there was no inadvertent genitalia on display. I'm leaving the country soon, so would rather avoid being deported thanks to a mild case of indecent exposure.
You see? Even riding high in the Amazon charts I can still make an arse out of myself, no problem at all.
