So, I already posted today, but the day got even better!
Christopher sent me the link to the #sydneywritersfestival, so I spontaneously bought tickets to see Elizabeth Gilbert and Alexander McCall Smith speak! Alexander signed my book and like a groupie I yelped “you gave a marvellous speech!” I haven’t read any of his books yet, you see, so it was all I had. He was a hilarious storyteller though, and of the first chapter I read while waiting to get his autograph, he’s awesome- so funny and brilliant.
In the interlude between the two speakers, I was chowing down by myself, in the foyer, on a tin of Pringles– when which two came strutting out like rockstars from the side corridor lavatories (the male of the pair literally had both arms up as if he was revving up a massive crowd)?? Lara and Steven!! My favouritest, serially sweet and smiley couple!! I coerced an equally smiley spectator into taking our picture and she did great. Then we dived into some eat, pray, lovin and learnt an awful lot about writing, creativity and amazing signs from the Universe.
