Good day yesterday.  First up, an interview on ABC Australian radio about the Booktrust Writer In Residency.  You can hear me waffling on here, if you want.  10 years of living in the UK and I now hit my Ts like a Canadian.

Then I went along to the announcement of the Children's Laureate.  An excellent event, mostly in that I got to meet Jacqueline Wilson.  First time I've shaken hands with a Dame.  She had no idea who I was, but was very gracious anyway, which is how the pros do it. 

And Anthony Browne as the new Laureate, which is good news.  I'm already starting my campaign for Malorie Blackman for 2011...
