Spent most of the day wandering around Melbourne. Lost $3 at the casino, ate the best spag bol ever at a restaurant called Rockpool (made with Japanese Waygu beef, rather than a quarter pound of lean mince from Tesco). It was also the most expensive spag bol I've ever eaten, but it wasn't like I was paying...
Also checked out Federation Square, home of the Melbourne Writers Festival where I'll be doing my four Melbourne events.
I arrived to find them making a display off books and got a site that will have British CHERUB fans drooling, with The General over on the right and that big black hardback in the middle:
Yes, that's the Ultimate Edition of The Recruit and Class A on sale at the festival book shop (no Dark Sun though sadly).
When I got back to my room Hodder Australia had sent me a package of CHERUB goodies made specially for the tour. I'm not sure what they're for exactly yet:
Now I just have to find something that will keep me awake for another three hours. My eyeballs are bright red from exhaustion but I've got to stay up 'til a normal bedtime if my body is going to properly sync with Australian time...

The package hodder sent?
Its actually for you to give to me in Adelaide..
The padded jacket is actually to protect you from the wombats :D
CHERUB memory stick? *Wants*
The padded jacket is hopefully bullet proo- oh wait, you're not in Manchester are you? Still, you'd better wear it in case there's any Aresnal haters in Aus :P
Sophie

Heya, this is Eve/Elise off the forums. Y'know, one of the 300 mods.
Will you be selling the USBs at the Sydney signing? Cause I so want one.
Anyway, Im hopefully going to the 31st signing, so I may see you there and get you to sign one of my two CHERUB books >_<
Hope you're having fun in Ausland ^_^
All those books :0
Man, whatever happened to patriotism? :P
There's no point in me getting the special edition because I have both books and I've read the Christmas story, but I'm crap with money so I'll probably get it anyway. Without even realizing. I probably already ordered it.
Meh, none of those goodies are as fine as the dogtag you gave me at Reigate ^___^
