Slept in this morning (well, until 6:15am) because I have the day off to go to the airport. We’re picking up jl who is arriving from Sydney this afternoon. The next few days are going to be busy, I suspect, with Mum’s birthday celebration tomorrow, followed by a day long family gathering on Sunday: a currypuff-making, mahjong playing, dinner day. I have Monday off to recover.
And, this time next Friday I’ll be in Sydney! I’m flying out on Thursday afternoon, and spending the night in Sydney. (Pity M, and jl, will be back in Perth. Still…) The Boss is sending me there to attend a meeting/talk being presented by ProQuest at Sydney University Library on Friday morning. I’ll be spending Friday afternoon at the Library at the University of Technology Sydney (MPOW is part of a network that includes UTS so The Boss wants me to go check out a few things they have been doing).
After UTS comes what I suspect will be the most fun part of the day for me – in the hour or so before I have to be at the airport for my flight back to Perth, I’m planning to meet up with a few Sydney librarian bloggers! WOOT!!! I’m really looking forward to catching up with Fiona, Morgan, and Snail – especially since this will be the first time I’ll be meeting Morgan and Snail, and I’ve been working with them on lint. Tom, I’m looking forward to meeting you at Sydney Uni. Can you make it for drinks? 🙂
(Any other bloggers going to be in the Sydney CBD (close to UTS) next Friday 18 August at 5pm? Want to meet up? Email me (flexnib at gmail dot com) and I’ll let you know where we’ll be.)

You’re making curry puffs and I’m making an upright Thomas the Tank birthday cake complete with blue icing designed to send kids off their faces.
Sounds like you’ve got a great, but full on, couple of days coming up. The meetup sounds wonderful…makes up for the cross coast flight. Just don’t bargain on doing any laptop blogging on the plane!
Don’t think we’ll have a chance before you go to Sydney, but I’d like to try to get tgether in the next two weeks before I go on holiday. Reckon we can squeeze it in??
Ooo cake! 🙂 Sounds like fun, whose birthday?
Nah I won’t be bringing the Tablet PC, I don’t think. I plan to minimise my luggage as much as possible, as I anticipate having to lug stuff around while I do my uni crawl on the Friday. I figure I can hop on in an Internet cafe somewhere. jl has even told me where the nearest net cafe is, relative to the hotel where I’ll be staying!
Getting together would be good! This weekend is a no go, and this next week is a bit crazy but there is the bloggers’ meetup this Wednesday (hoping to go but unsure). Otherwise in the week after sometime maybe? (I’ll email you!)
