The bower bird in my garden wooing his girlfriend with his collection of blue rubbish.

Getting a sneak peek at the tulips.

First kids author to visit the new @constantreaderbookshop in Mosman (and climb up on the counter). Apparently the first adult author was cousin @peter_fitzsimons (he didn’t climb on anything).

in town for the dentist so of course dropped in to Dymocks George St to sign stock! Come in and snap them up. (NB photo bombed by John Pages)

Finally got one of the new fifties so I could check the spelling mistake for myself. It makes me proud as a bad speller that we as a community are now represented on a banknote.

The Dad in front of me at the pool has been reading FRIDAY BARNES for the last half hour.

Bowral Public School taking their author wall of love display to the next level!

Fun telling stories to year 7 at Mary Mackillop Catholic College! Special thanks to my volunteer stunt voice double.

But who carries a rock when they’re riding the bus?

Spring must have sprung. On our walk to school this cherry tree was blossoming a cat.

It’s been another huge week! 5 schools, 15 presentations and over 900km of driving. Big thank you to Haberfield PS, All Saints Liverpool, Epping North PS, Bexley North PS and Shore Prep for making me so welcome. If you want a signed book I dropped in to The Children’s Bookshop and signed a big stack.
