THE LONG TRIP HOME

tuesday - sitting at the signing table at the festival - hardly a book sold but lots of notebooks and scraps of paper signed :0|Phillip Gwynne, one of the authors at the festival was tellingme about a book called Mortification - writers' stories oftheir public shame    i've got to track that down, we all haveour experiences of sitting there like a shag on a rock withnot a soul in sight, humiliation!    :0)



wed - UP AT 4.30 a.m. for a 2 hour bus trip to brisbane, a 2 hour wait then a plane to sydney, another wait and a 2 hour flight to mildura, finally got here at 2.30 and drove home for a quick unpack then back into mildura for an Art Vault opening and the launch of Mildura Living magazine, which had done a feature article on me so i really felt i had to be there.   i was grateful to friend ruth who invited me to stay the night so after a dinner at stefano's brewery we went home and crashed.  now i'm home in wentworth and i'm not going anywhere for quite a while  :0)

last night in maroochy -  dinner at the blue bar down the road with authors paul collins, john heffernan and
writer illustrator gus gordon and author/publisher sue whiting (my roommate)

the macro on my camera

i've been dragging around
for a week trying to
figure it out :0\
