Thanks to Stuart for letting me use his lovely buck. One of his many wonderful photos.
Meeting Bryce was a very unexpected joy which has left me feeling overwhelmed. The experience of a lifetime to meet the wonderful Bryce Courtenay and share lunch with him and eight of his Facebook fans who were lucky enough to win a competition on Bryce's Facebook page which asked 'what was your favourite book' and 'why do you want to meet him'. The chance to have lunch with Bryce to celebrate the launch of his latest book propelled me to write a heartfelt email that flowed as a stream of consciousness, rushed and not edited as I had only noticed the competition the night before it was due to close. When I received an email on my mobile phone's gmail (email) application a few days later to say that I had been chosen as one of the eight Sydney winners I couldn't believe my good fortune.
Such a surreal day which started with a bus into Wollongong at 7.30am from Lake Illawarra and then train ride in the same carriage as my primary school teacher from Year 6 (1983) who was my inspiration to become a teacher myself. I sat quietly (so unlike me) and waited until he caught sight of me and the smile of recognition was priceless. He was travelling with his Year 5/6 class for a week long camp and it brought back memories of Point Wolstencroft, the camp he took my class on over 25 years ago. It is such a small world!
After we parted at Central Station I travelled to Edgecliff and then walked to Paddington along Ocean St and Hargrave St. I met so many interesting people along my journey. I am glad that I had arrived over an hour earlier than required so that I could take the time, camera in hand, to enjoy a very hilly walk littered by historic buildings, architectural details of terrace houses and stop and talk to locals who filled me in on local history on my way to the Bellevue Hotel in Paddington. An amazing hotel chosen as venue for the Sydney book launch of The Story of Danny Dunn with a group of Bryce's Facebook fans.
With his gentle grace, generosity and warmth of spirit, this wonderful man changed my life when I picked up a copy of The Power of One as a teenager. His story has touched millions of people around the world and it was truly an honour to meet him in person. If you ever get the opportunity to do so, please seize it. You will be forever changed.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience. One which I will never forget.
John Quincy Adams wrote "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
With your books you lead us on a path to becoming a better person, to caring more about the world and people around us. You touch our hearts and minds with the generous way in which you share your life and tell the stories of those who have in turn touched your heart.
Thank you.

Alida writes "I was inspired by your penquin from the "BIRDS" issue to make this bunny for Easter. It was an indoors day so we didn't paint. Instead the toilet roll was made white by stapling on a piece of white paper cut to size. The ears were made on the same template as the feet, then slits were cut in to secure them onto the "head". Cut the slits at an angle if you want the ears to point outwards. Cotton balls were stuck on to close the head, and for a cotton tail! The arms were cut slightly smaller than the feet, and glued on. The idea is to put a little Easter egg between the hands, as a gift to Dad or Grandma, or friends. One can probably also make a little basket with smaller candy eggs in, or if you don't want to go the candy route, make a rolled up crinkle paper carrot ( I think Martha Stewart expains how) or even a felt carrot OR add little toy. Or whatever other possibilties you can come up with. You can also put little egg sweets in a cellophane bag inside the bunny.
Wish I could say that this was more of a collaboration between me and the three year old than what it was, but he was more interested in reading a book at the time."
My webkinz. I love playing Webkinz very much and I think it is very good value for your money. There are a ton of games to play, everything from battleships to webkinz versions of trad faves like mahjong. They also have fun things like scratch and win tickets and wheels of wishes and magical forests. My Johnny bought me a deluxe account for Christmas Eve! I get all sorts of special things with it. Once you buy a pet you have access to webkinz for a year unless you buy another pet within the expiry date. My hippo was my first. I got her last year from the kids. They gave me new one for this year- baby penguin. Her food is salt-water slushies. The blue creature on the left is a zum. She lives in Zumwhere. ANYWAY if you've a webkinz let me know, I'd love to play games with you :)
Entry for ' Tick tock ' competition.
Love the jaunty cap.
Thanks for looking and for any comments. J
This pair of cuties come from the UK! But they flew here by cargo plane, not on their own hot air. (And no Cameron jokes about "hot air")
A response to a poem by Pablo Neruda, "Magellanic Penquins" about penquins common to Patagonia. On my bucket list.

Notes: From the estate of Harold Leventhal. Born in 1831, Achille Quinet was a successful photographer who operated a studio at 320 rue St Honoré, Paris from about 1869 to 1879. Although Quinet made photographs of the moments and architecture of Paris as well as a series of views of Italy, he is best known for his landscape, animals and figure studies, many of which were made in or around the town of Barbizon and the forest of Fontainebleau. These photographs, which were likely intended as aids to painters, are generally albumen prints mounted on blue card stock, with the stamp “Étude d’Après Nature’ as well as a red rubber stamp of his name. Some images are mounted on white stock with the blind stamp “A le. Quinet fils.”
The shop of Lerrebours can be seen just above the right end of the bridge.
A member of the Sociéte Française de Photographie from 1876 to 1894, Quinet exhibited his work at the universal exhibition of 1878. Most of Quinet’s work is housed at the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, where he deposited his Etudes at the Depôt Légal in 1868, 1875, and 1877. Quinet’s work is occasionally confused with that of his contemporary, Constant-Alexandre Famin. While the pair made photographs with similar subject matter, general stylistic differences distinguish the two. It is possible that Quinet, acting as a publisher or distributor, placed his own stamp on works made by Famin. After 1879, Quinet moved to Cély, near the Forest of Fontainebleau, where he died in 1900.

Humboldt Penquin, native to Chile and Peru. Officallyuclassed as vulnerable. one step down from an endangered species.
I am obsessed with penquins and snowmen right now. Don't know why but I have to get them out of my head and onto a cookie. This should just about do it!
The second smallest of all the penguins, endemic to the Galapagos and the only species of penguin that can be found in the northern hemisphere.
Mary had an Emperor Penquin
Whose coat was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
That Penquin would squawk and shit
and vomit up partially digested fish!
I painted this after watching a documentary on penquins and being totally freaked out by the ungodly sound an Emperor Penquin makes. I imagined waking up in the middle of the night and having a large penquin squawking at the end of the bed and stinking of rotten fish.
