Yesterday, England suffered some pretty bad floods which caused the usual amount of chaos and disarray. Amazingly however, there was play in the India-England cricket match even though it looked at one point like this.

Cricket, anyone? Two groundsmen wade through a flooded Lord's, England v India, 1st Test, Lord's, 2nd day, July 20, 2007

This is, of course, not the first flood to hit Britain and Nature reports this week on the flood which created the English Channel 200,000 years ago - and you can listen to the podcast version too.

In spite of the floods we managed to distribute HP7 successfully. The acid test is that Macmillan distribution has hardly been mentioned in any of the coverage. Phew - and thanks again to the team.

Macmillan Distribution have always kept a very low profile n the matter of Harry Potter. I am sure it pays some good money. Nevertheless they do deserve huge applause for their vital role in an amazing market phenomenon over the years. There were huge huge queues outside our local Asda last night- of people wanting to read a book and they all came away happy. Fantastic.
