A Sad Week
This week has seen us sucked dry by bushfires. There were all sorts of bits and pieces that I’d collected up to share with you – an interesting thought about sunflowers and a painting that I saw but somehow they seem a bit unimportant at the minute. Perhaps, instead, I might just use this space to send all my love and good thoughts and support to those people who are without their homes or the ones they love. Next week I will be meeting up with Suzanne Gervay who is organising a book collection for schools who have lost everything – hopefully I’ll be able to load her up with some books to add to the collection. It seems like a tiny thing to do when so much has been lost.
Next week I will be visiting children at Murwillumbah South Infants school. I’m planning a day full of words and pictures and maybe a song or two. I’m looking forward to meeting Class 1/2 and have already chosen a favourite story to read.
I received news today that early next month I’ll be visiting a zoo and meeting up with a bilby and its keeper to do some bilby talks. More on this as soon as I get the final details.
My new novel is finished and is being read by a friend of mine. The nicest thing is when a reader like this gets hooked – and guess what! I think she’s hooked! Yay!
