@NGFeathers So sorry for your loss, Nigel. I travelled through Braidwood last weekend - my first trip to see my parents in quite a few years - & because of the stories you've shared here, it was your father I thought of as I stopped in the main street. Thankyou & take care x

@catherinegay_ @immigration_mv Thrilled to see this Catherine. Great work.

@MST_Writes Thanks, think I've seen that in the library too so will keep that in mind.

Thanks @MST_Writes for the biography recommendations the other night. Borrowed this one from the library today

@MST_Writes @dontattempt @sylviam73310186 Heaps more in boxes. I did a Masters in biography at Monash years ago so accumulated a lot of stuff then too. Am partial to literary biography (and others) where you get to know the biographer and what drew them to their subject.

@kmjgardiner I thought I saw you there. I was in one of the other rooms struggling with the origami of bandaging.

@HelenSnapper A crocheted blankie & a ginger cat sound like the best remedy. Get well soon.
