Heading to Melbourne next week. Taking the Jetstar roulette. Last time the flight was eventually cancelled at midnight and we got put up in a hotel and slept for like 4 hours before having to be up again for the earliest flight the next morning.
Definitely hoping that isn't the case this time.
I reached out to my old primary school a week or so ago about donating my books to the school library since they are the reason I am such a big reader and wanted to be a writer. They said yes and wanted me to come in for a talk but unfortunately couldn't make it work because of pupil free day on one day and specialist classes on the other. They asked if I could come for book week which I would love but probably won't be able too. I'm really sad I couldn't do it because I've really felt a connection to my school since my little one started school and I'm now studying education for a career change.
I'm still going to drop off the books and hopefully get to see what it's like inside. Last time I was in Melbourne I drove past and it's changed so so much. It's crazy.
Can you do a Zoom thing for Book Week?
