It’s not your stomach, it’s all about being in control. Really! I can’t even sit in a cinema watching handheld camera work without feeling crook, but I did manage to get an aerobatic endorsement a long time ago. I’ll tell you the story some time. (Go Justin!)

So this is what you spend your leave doing? Hope you get to see something of the outside world – it’s a good way to escape the dog

Comment on The Story of the Three Holes by Helen

So sorry to hear you’ve lost your animals. I remember bursting into tears for a week at work when my last cat died. And I couldn’t bury him in the back yard of the place we were renting at the time. All the same, it might pay not to dig too many holes in future?

Pam, I’m thrilled to hear of your recent successes and your decision to do a PhD in Canberra; it sound as if these are big new steps, and these always lead to inetresting times. Go for it!

Comment on Identity by Helen

Thank you for the link – very thought provoking. I might identify as a “writer” who’s now spent many years trying to ignore the compulsion to write because there always seemed to be an expectation that it should be published. Like Justine’s friend, I think I could actually be quite happy writing simply for my own pleasure.

Thanks, Meryl: great to hear from you. I’m recently back at PIO myself after a gap of many years. When I found out Blake had taken that story, my son (who is now 16) said to me, ‘Mum, you wrote that when I was into electric trains’ and he was right! I think sometimes our books are more a history of our lives than we think.

I haven’t used my netbook much yet (only for some meetings which wasn’t really what I bought it for) but am having a bit of a lull at the moment in my writing (letting things stew…). Am about to launch into a new manuscript this week and so will be carting the netbook around wherever I go in order to grab the ten minutes here, fifteen minutes there that working mums have to do. I’m never carting my old laptop around again having gone to NZ with it last year. If I was away for any length of time, I’d get wireless but I can’t see that happening in the near future.

Have fun in NZ – my favourite holiday destination.

12 years! Have just joined PIO (used to get it years ago but dropped by the wayside)…So pleased to hear of your news, especially seeing Blake have published one of mine (Well… Aussie School Books in the aussie aussie aussie series 2. AND I have had three with sparklers for about 2 years… Looks like, with your inspiration, I should leave them there!
We live in hope…

ps. I have a small netbook too, which goes to Sydney regularly… it also has been to Townsville, Mt Isa and will shortly go to NZ and later in the year to Perth. It’s much more convenient than my heavy old laptop… though I still like it for home. Mine has wireless, though, and I use it for email too, when I’m away.
Hope you’re loving yours.

pps… my blog is very neglected… and as yet I don’t have a website. M
