I've mostly unpacked and mostly done the admin things one must do on one's return and I'm mostly tired. I'm also mostly cold. Sydney was warm and my friends were delightful and the contrast with the zero degree temperature outside is quite strong. I don't feel lonely, but I do want to curl up and sleep. Before I do, though, I'll give you your first Sydney picture. This is all about scavenging in central Sydney.



My favourite parts of the weekend included watching much Eureka with three of my favourite people, exploring Sydney Harbour using an array of ferries, teaching, seeing friends, marketing and books. There will be more photos, for I took many (they're downloading right now).

I've ticked off a heap of questions I had about world building and tested a useful new technique for teaching language to writers (combining grammar and editing in a straightforward package). I've checked that friends I was worried about (for too many of my friends are undergoing difficult times) are getting through what needs to be got through. And I am home and snuggled up in my down dressing gown.
