Last night we went to see Howard Jones play. It was surreal to see him here in Canberra playing live. Howard’s music has been a steady influence in my life since I was a teenager. I have wanted to see him play and had it down as something I would do if I ever got to ENGLAND. I think I am still on a natural high (watch out world). I couldn’t believe it when I actually got to meet him after the show. Whoo hoo! It was wonderful to be able to say thank you for all of the times his music has been precious to me over the past twenty something years!

I was interviewed in the Monitor - the Uni’s online newspaper. My friend Ed (who is the Editor) took a very lovely photo - I wish I could have something like this on my drivers licence!

(For some reason I cant make it all seamless and beautiful).

My cousin Row was telling me about how she was going through a phase of reading Kate Forsyth. I was at Ron’s Second hand book shop at Hawker and for $8 a book decided to try the first couple of her Witches of Eileanan Series. Glad I did. I needed a new author and a bit of a change. This one has a mix of outlawed witches and magic, dragons and some fairy stuff, with a hero or two thrown into the mix. Good strong female leads, with the interesting mirror twin thing thrown into the mix. Kate is Australian which surprised me as the setting for the books has Scottish sounding witches. Enjoyable escape.
