I’m currently in lovely Melbourne for a few days for the annual Crime and Justice Festival at the Abbotsford Convent. Here’s the itinerary… including a chance to catch me on web radio from anywhere you like.
July 15, 11.30 am Melbourne time live on 3CR Radio with Jan Goldsmith – you can listen here http://www.3cr.org.au/
July 16 8.30 am live with Peter Haddow on 3MDR Radio in the Dandenon Ranges. You can listen here http://www.3mdr.com/
July 17 4pm, in conversation with Robert Gott at Crime and Justice, Abbotsford Convent.
July 18, 2pm, talking about book locations with Garry Disher and Adrian Hyland, Jude Bourguignon on the chair at Crime and Justice, Abbotsford Convent.
You can find the very full programme for the festival here. I’ll be around outside those times, of course, and wouldn’t miss the opening Friday night event with Shane Maloney and Catherine Deveny for anything.

It’s now going to be retired and replaced by a new service, Windows Live Sync. You can try out the beta for yourself here (I am – it seems to work fine). Since quite a few of you discovered Mesh through my last post here’s an update of what’s changed.

With more than a little help I am endeavouring to be a less of a bad gardener this year. So really I can’t claim credit for the fact the vegetable patch is looking rather good at the moment: beetroot, carrot, … Continue reading →
