Wow, I could hardly remember how to sign in: it's been so long.
What's been happening? Here's a YouTube version of my book launch:

And here's a link to my fundraising page for my Very First Ever Fun Run this Sunday. I am going to run 10 kilometres around the Botanical Gardens and back and forth along the river, and am fund-raising for Amnesty. Donations have ranged between $2 and $500, and I am hoping to make it to $2000:

So I have been training.
I have been battling a thousand cumbersome university administration matters. Nothing is straightforward; there is usually no one who will do it for you; and it is never done right the first time. It gets bounced around from office to office then sits on someone's desk for three weeks. Sigh. Groan.
I am also writing. I am late sending my paper to the discussion group I'll be part of at the Chaucer conference in two weeks. Will get back to it in a second.
I have also committed myself to so many talks I lose track of them.
I've also discovered there is something like a 100% mark-up on the Australian distributor's price of my book.
I am also the mother of a 17 year old VCE student. I'm not going to say any more about that...
