Update #17: Earth Balls
Mum has very kindly been busy taking photos of the Earth Balls that we took to Copenhagen, emblazoned with the names of all our Kickstarter supporters.
Apologies for the slightly wrinkled appearance of our beloved planet. It got a bit squashed in my rucksack. Mum tried to get rid of the wrinkles by warming it up in the airing cupboard - an undeniable case of "global warming"!!!!
You can see the pictures on my Flickr page, at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rozsavage/sets/72157623180900694/
All the best

Update #14: Books and postcards now despatched
Hi all
Yesterday I lugged a heavy bag full of books over to the main Post Office here in Copenhagen, and spent the next half hour sticking stamps on envelopes. 'Fraid I didn't pay for the fastest delivery - as it was the postage cost me $300, which was a bit of a shocker.
So the parcels are now on their way to all those eligible backers. I hope they arrive safely. Someone at the Klimaforum started telling me a story about a load of parcels he had sent that had utterly failed to arrive. I had to tell him to zip it. After the week I've just had the last thing I needed was something else to worry about.
I have sent them off with a kiss and a prayer and a big dollop of gratitude to you all for your support.
With thanks and warmest best wishes

Update #13: Christmas present?
Dear All
I have the uncomfortable feeling that somebody wanted the book signed to somebody else, so they could give it as a Christmas present. I made a note of this on my spreadsheet - which is on the laptop which was stolen.
I will have to go ahead and mail out the books today, the last day that post offices are open before I leave Copenhagen.
If you receive your book and I have not signed it correctly, please accept my abject apologies. Let me know and I will send you another copy.
So sorry - my admin systems usually work very well, but having my laptop stolen has rather thrown me!
All the best
