it is sunny. and warm. and of my 19 events today, the first 10 have gone off without a hitch.

The fact that a publisher sent up a giant elephant costume (about a famous elephant picture book) assuming I would have a random minion to hand to wear it and dance about like a loon in front of 80 small children caused slight panic this morning. But Julie saved the day in a groundbreaking elephant boogie which I am sure will be discussed for years to come (and I will owe her copious amounts of cakes to pay her back). It was outstanding.

So right now, I am glugging coke straight from the two litre and gearing up for an afternoon of interactive poetry and flour bombs.

I love my job.

ps - I will be home in exactly 19 days!
