WOWEEEE!!!!! Absolutely brilliant, Helene! I’m honestly in awe of all you accomplish with your day job and your anywhere, anytime job. Well done you!

And a big congrats to G for being the outstanding prop he is. Oh, and I suppose Zeus should get a mention to – or at least a pat.

Sandy, my ‘anywhere, anytime’ job is becoming all consuming at the moment! I’ll give Zeus and G a pat when I get home. For once, G didn’t attend the convention with me so we’ll be celebrating tomorrow

Lol, Cathy, all members of ‘Academy’ were duly thanked!!

Thanks Karly, so good to catch up again with you and you’re lovely friend! Great to see friendships enduring

I’ve thought of a topic for your blog visit. How does a discussion about the community of writing sound, where we draw our support from etc??? (Ladies – Sandy and Cathy, I’m looking at your two here – feel free to suggest a topic for a discussion with Karly Lane on my blog!)

No worries, Cathy. Hope the hospital visit on Friday all goes to plan and you’re home with your feet up early!

Did you watch Four Corners last night on the the A380?
