It was fine.

It must have been warm, but since I have been in the office, I did not feel so.

These days many people publish e-books, and they have free promotion, and I download them with thanks. I have read some books on my commuting train. Some of them have had  a severe childhood.

I am having a free promotion until tomorrow too, and send infornation to my friends.

Some of them reply with some comments about the book, others reply with thanks. 

Some ignore and others give something back.

This is a chance of communication. 

I hear some are having trouble, others are doing fine.

Life varies, doesn't it?

Here is a present for you. I hope you enjoy.
