Book Launch

Well, Esther and I flew down to Tassie last week for the official launch of QandH. And yes. Seeing granddaughter #2 for the first time was an added attraction.

The Youngs kindly housed and fed us for the duration, and lent us a car. I did a radio interview and visited a couple of schools on the Wednesday and Thursday. The launch itself was Friday evening.

Of course, there were technical difficulties. The plug didn't fit into the socket (do they ever?) and this caused a deal of last minute panic. But at last, everyone was happily gathered and all went well. Lots of people attended (the church was full), Steve presented a very flattering book review, I did my slide-show spiel, and everyone bought lots of books. In all, we raised about $3500. Brilliant.

Saturday was spent with the Ishams at Salamanca Market. I sold 11 more books and enjoyed a very pleasant morning. Esther went shopping with our niece Phil and friend Zil. Then we were back on the plane for a late night flight back to Brisbane.

In all, a very pleasant and worthwhile few days.
