Got a Minecraft event going on for all the kids at the library, so all the public PCs are off limits - just had the grouchiest woman I've ever had the misfortune of listening to lecture me for 20 minutes about how selfish that is and don't they play enough bloody Minecraft already and whatever happened to climbing trees and running around like a PROPER child!?

Her face when I said that I never ran around or climbed trees when I was a kid, rather spent most of my time on the computer and actually I quite enjoy Minecraft and it has been found to be very educational and if you would like to borrow some books - which is the only service we are obligated to provide - she was welcome to, was priceless though.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good on you Liam!!!

How exciting! My Dad loves pipe organs - and plays the one in the Anglican Church here in Muswellbrook on a regular basis.

Don't unfriend me. You are not my problem child - you make me chuckle more than you realise :)

I pop onto twitter for 10 mins then may not be back on for days. So that's why I meant its a waste of time. Conversations are disjointed on that medium :)

Well done Liam. Though my kids spent as much time up trees as they did in front of computers. A booked function takes priority in a public place she just needed to suck it up :)

Son number 3 is busy packing his car. He is moving out in the morning :( I'm moping around. He says to me " mum I'm 27 and I need to move on" . We now have a 6 bedroom house and 3 children.

That must be tough Veronica. I don't think it matters how old he is, you'll still miss having him around and having all those mother-son chats. I hope he's not moving too far away :)

Good luck Veronica:) He'll be back, and visits will be extra special!

Oh what a day...Get everything done then dedicate the rest of the day to reading a novel from start to finish while taking a snooze for an hour in the middle of the day like a cat...AHHH...Good ol'Fridays!

LOL! Sounds perfect Laura;)

[Neko]

Hehehe..It was perfect! And it was horribly cold outside so I didn't feel guilty about not going out into the elements to do anything. Online shopping is a blessing for that too. Now to pick another book off the shelf!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hope you enjoy your next one too:)

[Neko]

@Brenda - I hope so too :D

@Michael - It was very nice,indeed.

I hope you guys had a good Friday too?

[Neko]

Good :) Bring on the weekend then,aye?

Last night I attended an author talk with Monica McInerney she was simply delightful and funny. A very natural, down to earth person. I took 3 books to sign and noticed that most others only had one. When I reached the front of the line I said "I hope you don't mind I brought 3 books and that was cutting myself down".She said to me "you have more of my books, oh you should have brought them all I don't mind at all".

That's great Veronica! I've not read any of hers but have The Faraday Girls on my shelf. That's the only one. I noticed she was near to my area but as I hadn't read anything I didn't consider going. Sounds like she's lovely.

Oh Veronica, you've been busy. Hard work either end of the scale. Hope you guys all settle ok..

Always hard when a chick leaves the nest - but in a few years time the chick will bring their chicks over and you'll want to downsize for peace :)

Well I just spent the last 5 hours watching bonus content for Alien.

I should probably be doing something useful...

Hiya Carolyn, just need to charge up all of my appliances and catch up on some missing Zzzzzds...due to early morning checkouts and o/nite flights, made for for long travelling times without rest. Also travelling friends have only just departed here, so have some unpacking to still do. Otherwise all good and will be in touch soon ;D

I had a ball but it's still good to be home now...with my little doggy too! <3

Your little girl must be so pleased to see you!
Sounds like you need some time to wind down and put your feet up with a cup of tea and a good book when you've finished unpacking. Chat later when you've recharged your batteries :)
