Having attended the chaotic but wonderful NZ Natcon last weekend has reignited my hunger for the company of writers, readers and fans. So in a rash and ill-considered decision I'm off to Adelaide and the Australian Natcon, to be held this weekend.

Currently I'm using a wi-fi hotspot at Auckland airport. I have a bit of the lurgi and I'm hoping I don't get quarantined in Melbourne! There are some people I really, really want to talk to in Adelaide.

You are? Yippee!

Victoria has given up on trying to contain H1N1 now and concentrate on protecting the elderly. So I imagine there'll be a lot of previously quarantined people relieved that they don't have to cancel that plane trip to SA for the Queens Birthday long weekend. They'll be more worried at Adelaide airport about us diseased Melbournians than Kiwis.

Looking forward to catching up with you, Trudi. If the plane to Adelaide ever leaves - it is delayed. Won't get to hotel before 11pm Adelaide time I reckon. Sigh.

Hope my hometown treats you well, and doesn't try to put you in quarantine :)

If a tall, skinny bearded guy harasses you at conjecture, probably on sunday, then... that's me ;). I apologise in advance *g*

Hassle away. No point in being here otherwise! (Typed from the 12th floor of the Holiday Inn.)

Sadly, it may have been a great convention, but I hardly saw it. I was laid plow by a brute of a head cold, and then experienced 14 hours of atrial fibrillation on the Sunday. Home now, but I can barely talk or hear.

That's terrible! Hopefully a few days of taking it easy will have you feeling better after the recent craziness
