Heelllloooo! I would hope you'd feel relaxed and without a care bobbing on the ocean. Last time I saw you, I think I had a baby in my belly. He's 4 now and entering kindy this year :). SAE has taken my welfare in hand and took me clothes shopping last night to try and find something to make me look "less scruffy" for Canberra. "What's wrong with tie dye and crocs?", I ask. Will email you in the next couple of days. Lovely! Tracy!! Heelllloooo! I would hope you’d feel relaxed and without a care bobbing on the ocean. Last time I saw you, I think I had a baby in my belly.

We are in Sydney until Feb/March and then sailing up to Brisbane. Great to hear all is on the up for you, would love an email. Lovely to hear to fire in your belly again. Hi there

Once it's done and other librarians know a bit more about SL and can make up their own minds about it, then I'll KNOW whether I'm glad. Matthew..A free pass ! Wow. And I would have offered to do the shift even without the incentive. I'll make sure my Co-Pilot takes a photo of "librarians in action" while he's there... Ivan..I THINK I’m glad.

I bet everyone in the library jostles to staff the stall. Apparently there is a side theme of "Western Australia" this year. I believe that all West Australians camp for free. I think folkie stuff permeates everywhere. Many's the time I've sat watching someone playing with utter mastery the dobro or oud or something equally obscure, then later seen them somewhere like behind the counter of my local pharmacy or at Uni or read their name associated with some policy unit in State Govt. Maybe that's just Fremantle ? And thanks for the Digg, Matthew.

You might be interested to know that the National Library has strong partnerships with the National Folk Festival as well - we always have a stand in the Budawang Pavilion (and offered free wireless access in the pavilion for the first time last year), and we sponsor a National Folk Festival Fellowship for a folk expert to come and research in our collections every year. Fancy your husband being involved with the NFF this year too. But that's Canberra for you! Cheers, Matthew Hello Kathryn,
