It's all over. The fans packed away, goodbyes said.

I spent last night at Ken's. We walked down Racecourse Road and had dinner at a Seafood Restaurant on the river. This morning ate breakfast together then I jumped in the car and started the trip north.

I'm here in Byron Bay - I've even been shopping and bought myself the obligatory Indian cotton skirt so I can fit in with the rest of the crowd! Go hippy, go!

I'm planning to start rewriting the first of my Clarion critiqued stories over the next few days - and I bought an Ursula Le Guin book - because everyone spent half the course raving about how fab she was. (I actually think I read the Earthsea Trilogy when I was in High School... but I've forgotten what happens).
