I'm sitting down for just a few minutes. I still need to pack up the food and put on my glad rags and get my treasure chest for tonight. About a half hour's work. I have forty minutes. And I've burned my fingers (only the once, my eyesight is definitely improving). This means I can get a minute of quiet before the mayhem.
Everyone's stopped panicking about the numbers (80 people RSVPd) and the shortage of books (most people won't buy, so it really isn't critical that the distributor didn't allow many copies for a launch) and the amount of food (which, at this stage, will either be enough or it wont). Mostly, right now, it's down to me bringing the right things and looking spiffy. The latter is the hard bit.
I'd better get to and find clothes and makeup and etc. Although I suspect it would be sensible to prepare the food and treasure box for travelling first. The box contains some things it shouldn't and not all the things it should, so that's my biggest task.
Mostly, right now, I want to nap.
I'll report back when it's all over. My first UK book will be launched in Oz in precisely 2ish hours. See you on the other side.
