On this day in 2010 I was singing along to Darren Hanlon's latest (at the time) album.
Around this time in 2011 I was reading Yellowcake and enjoying some MWF sunshine.
In 2012 I was being brief (though excited) about books, and keen to hear The Futureheads' acapella album, RANT.
August last year... who knows, really... But I had been to see Joan Baez (has it really been a year?!) and was soon to muse on the cost of books.
Skipping to the present day...
AUGUST 2014
Four months (almost to the day) after being retrenched from my in-house editor job, I am cheerfully living the #rockstarfreelancelifestyle, editing picture books for Little Hare and proofreading whatever comes my way.
I have also returned to my original career as a children's bookseller! I like to think of it as working at the coal face. Excitingly, this includes visiting local primary schools...
And there's time to read.

I loved it. In spite of this cynical review. |

Some pop-lit-psych as an entree to understanding literacy. |
And the end of August is bringing SPRING to Melbourne. It's (starting to be) T-shirt Weather!
