Lysaght-Watt Trust Ronald Hugh Morrieson Literary Awards has officially opened and we are off to a great start with our first Open Workshop being held at the Foundry in Hāwera with Short Story Judge Emma Hislop @LibraryPlus
One of our favourite bedtime stories is Far, Far from Home by Elizabeth Pulford. Sofia loves the illustrations by @FifiColston

@KoanuiSue @KiwiLibrarian @Maria_Brewerton I'll miss them all at work equally. Although, I'll be back in May & no doubt visit plenty between now and then 😅 won't be able to keep me away. Lol
First day off work on Maternity Leave & I've had the urge to check work emails about 5x this morning . Let's hope that habit dies quick or it'll be a long 6months 😂 @KiwiLibrarian @Maria_Brewerton
Getting to tour an award winning author, like @kylemewburn to rural schools that don't always have the same opportunities to meet authors due to location is pretty awesome.

@beekaynz I've stayed at the Trinity Hotel before, remember it being reasonably okay pricewise (but this was a few years ago before pandemic times). It was walking distance to a decent amount of stuff & has a Rooftop Bar which was great!
@ParryKylie 5 ½ & 4 year old Labradors & can confidently confirm they are certainly still a bit of a dick at times 😅
Slowly morphing into the next stages tho, but very slowly 😂
@beekaynz Thanks 😁 & yeah, I was gutted when it happened but so so greatful I only had a mild dose, now to try dodge every other bug going around.
I hope you're feeling a bit better & it's not being too hideous for you 🤞
