So I'm feeling a lot better, flu wise, and guess what?

Still haven't packed.

Sometimes there's something comforting about being reliably hopeless.

I'll be back in Melbourne on Tuesday, so talk amongst yourselves while I'm gone - feel free to go and check out the Sydney Writers' Festival website so you can imagine me swanning about being well-informed and three degrees warmer than I would be in Melbourne.

Or not. Depends on how incredibly out of my depth I really am. Tune in for updates.
