I'm not big on doing that - oh except I started playing table tennis in a new club and it's doubles (I've always played singles) only knew one person and I seem to be playing as if I've never played before ever in my life (hangs head in shame) Hopefully things can only get better and I do have to say they're a lovely bunch.

It was great to meet people in real life, who we talk to on blogs, etc. And it was good fun to meet editors and publishers as well. Which reminds me, I should be writing.
