To Helsinki and back

Jem: How are the the book sales going?

Truckle: Just back from my first book tour. Went to visit a mate in Helsinki for the weekend, the plan was to walk around reading it and laughing a lot.

Jem: Did it work?

Truckle: Not as such, was strolling down the street reading and chuckling as planned, slipped on a patch of ice and laid up for the weekend. On the plus side, sold one to my mate.
