By gees Sarah, well done!!! Yep, you're in the big league now, or rather, they are in the big league with you :) But, then Sarah, I am not surprised!! You have been hiding your light under a bushel for some time now...
ReplyDeleteHey, I missed that story about the red wine and the postman's bike!! Wha...what happened? And I want to read that essay... out in November, it's so far away!!! :(
ReplyDeleteHope you're ok, Sarah. Clive James is now (and has been for about 40 years) the Englishman's Australian. God, he's a pain in the arse.
ReplyDeleteYes, we just call him an Englishman.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Tim and Tom. Yes, I'm okay, a few cuts and bruises and damaged ego. Nothing permanent!
ReplyDeleteYes, well done and well deserved ST. Just watch out for that self-sabotaging stubborn insistence that you CAN ride a push-bike drunk :D Nice theory, but I reckon after the scraps you have had it might be time to look for an alternative. Taxi anyone?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ST - that's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI meant the literary recognition....not the wine/bicycle combo...but then again that probably was pretty fantastic to watch :)
ReplyDeleteYou little ripper Sarah Toa.
ReplyDeleteYay, shall rush out and purchase a copy when it hits the bookshelves! Congratulations again, Sarah. That's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYay, you rock!!! :-))
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Sarah and, oh, I trust you recovered from that strange moment of alchemy (bike + wine...)
N
Thanks everyone. Yes recovering from the strange alchemy. Trying to fend off the scar. It's an amzing time for me - the rocket is firing. Feels important that I do something about that and aim it properly!
ReplyDeleteI bow deeply in awe!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, that is some achievement. Congratulations. I'll order a copy as soon as its available. Well done.
ReplyDeletefine company indeed! who on earth would let someone ride off after drinking so much red?
ReplyDeleteyou absolute star!
