Adelaide

Roma Mitchell was a judge, QC, chancellor of a university and a state governor. Not all at the same time, but she was the first women in several of these positions. So she deserves a rest, and here, outside Government House, under leafy trees, she gets it. 

Playing with the cartoon app again ... this time it's the River Torrens, just in front of the Festival Centre in Adelaide.

Not sure this is at all flattering but love the colours.

Home again, and the clouds swirled spectacularly, but alas no rain. 

Last night

Tonight is my last night in the May Gibbs apartment here in Adelaide. I've had a wonderful time, with the mix of writing, visiting and socially.

I'm thrilled that I managed to complete the second draft of my novel while I was here . I finished this morning and will now let it sit for a little while before looking again.

I'm packing up books and clothes and will leave in the morning. I'm very keen to get home to my boys but am also sad that this time is at an end.

Thank you May Gibbs Children's Literature Trust. To Nan, Jo, Janeen, Ian and Mary.
