The Sydney trip was a blur of meetings and events. Had an enjoyable dinner with the gang on Friday night, saw a whole bunch of familiar faces at Supanova, including Spike Spencer, Nicola Scott, Marco and Rena Nero. Met Dave Gibbons (Watchman) and his lovely wife, Helen. Plus the CS boy and Fel and Missy and Mal etc etc. Natalia on the Borders stall is always a pleasure to work with and looks after us well.

Am now in Perth about to repeat it all. Having a few days break with my sister to stock up energy stores. Weather is cold but gloriously fine now, after an unpleasant flight. I did however get to watch Atonement and an episode of Hustle on the dedicated seat TVs.
