Sandy (McCall Smith) and us
Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne Writers' Festival. It was just a 15-minute bicycle ride from the Bleeding Edge cave to join the audience for Alexander McCall Smith's session. If you've not read the series that started [I think] with The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, then you have a delight in store for you.
He's speaking at 8pm too, although I imagine the seats are all gone. In fact the Bleeding Edge spouse obtained the last two seats for this afternoon's session.
A minor annoyance: the iBurst connection has dropped out three times five times. It was perfectly fine in the cafe, but it doesn't seem to like the upstairs seating.

Yep, the MWF is hugely successful and very Melbourne. Yesterday there were 400 crammed into the Merlyn Theatre for a day-long $100 event on How to Get Published. Scary, isn't it, to think of all those "writers" with books they want to launch on to an unsuspecting public? A hugely stimulating event, so they are unlikely to be discouraged in their quests. One speaker told them they were all entitled to call themselves writers. Whether or not their work had ever seen the light of day didn't come into it. They wrote, therefore they were.

Bleeding Edge, you are a life saver.
Prior to reading the BE Blog, we couldn't completely delete and get rid of our expired Nortons Anti-virus, we couldn't reinstall, we were in Limbo.
Now, we have cleaned up the whole mess!!!
Thank you, Thank you!
Especially, warmest regards (no book purchase necessary)
