New Zealand is a great place so I'm sure they're looking after you. I had a wonderful time in your workshop at the conference and here in Brisbane with both you and Krissie. Such a privilege. I've hardly stopped writing since. I'm so glad you liked the mug. I hope it reminds you of 'good times' and nothing but. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Agnes, I was too slow at the conference. And we do love Glen even though he got the last copy and gleefully showed it to me. Since he said it was a work of brilliance I am prepared to forgive. Take care and I hope you're feeling better soon. Hi to Krissie. Jenny, so sorry to hear you’ve not been well.

Jenny & Krissie are the most wonderful, fabulous visitors, who should be encouraged to come to Australia as often as possible. I too have finished Agnes: it's a work of sheer brilliance.

Thank God New Zealanders are so understanding.

Just wanted to say I've finished Agnes - read it until the end after the kids went to school. And it really is fabulous. Loved it, loved it. I will cherish my signed copy forever. Will have to bring it with me to SF next year to get Bob's signature too. Thanks Erica - will email you. Okay – the comments posted before I was finished.

Looks like you're having a good time. At least I assume you are since we haven't seen any pictures of you in this. You deserve to have fun but I must warn you to get a lot of rest because it looks like you are coming home to a badly depressed Bob. That is the general consensus of those who have read the workshop lately. I am sure a swift hit with the keyboard should smarten him up. Just kidding. ;) Lovely looking B&B.

Blame him, he's halfway around the world. Glad you're enjoying Australia. And don't bother to use the kitchen, cooking is over-rated. So it’s just Bob that makes B&B’s hate you.

I'm so glad that it's redeeming B&Bs for you. It looks like you're staying in Highgate Hill or West End? which is one of the best parts of Brisbane, I think (and close to where I live in Annerley.) Very glad to hear you're enjoying yourself. WELCOME TO BRISBANE! I’m so glad that it’s redeeming B&Bs for you.

And at dinner. Unfortunately none of my friends who read this blog believe I was at the dinner as there are no photos of me. That'll teach me to keep hiding from cameras. Seriously tho, I had a fantastic day and enjoyed spending time with you both and learning sooo much more about writing - if only I could decipher my notes... Look forward to seeing you both in San Francisco and welcoming Krissie as a "new Australian" when she moves downunder. Catherine - the real one - the one who lives on the Gold Coast and is a member of Glen's Masters class.
