Hi Alison,
The shirt was cool and the weather here has been fairly mild during the
day. Mark knows Melbourne has a slightly different reputation.
And I'm well, if too busy to do more than monitor the list, mostly. And
the flu of the season has been a long and intermittent one this year in
Sydney. Glad to hear the novel is in hand though, and that you are
filling out from the flat stage. I will be in Melbourne on the last
weekend of the Writers Festival, if there is time for a catchup.
Cheers,
Jill
