So, just went to an exciting World Book Night event at my local book shop - quite fun and ran off with lots of free books (yay!). I swapped A Prayer for Owen Meany (Irving), All She was Worth (Miyabe) and The Kitchen God's Wife (Tan) for Kate Atkinson's Will There Ever Be Good News and One Day by David Nicholls. Oh, and free wine. Quite chuffed, lots of book shelfspace for all my new books on Africa plus a nice new book to read, if I ever have time for fiction again...Maybe in June.
Since then have been tidying. Friday nights are WILD here.
I just googled myself - yes I am officially THAT SAD and have recently found myself gazing at my reflection in water...still, if I'm immortalised as a deliciously scented flower it won't be all bad :) Though currently I am remembered for pointing inappropriately at my students...

Still, all publicity is at least, well, publicity. Yay for having friends who publish stories about me :D
No longer with access to bamboo forests I keep looking for ways forward... Naive, confused and desperate to tell others all about it!!!
