A quickie update

It is falling dusk here in Tokyo, where I am sitting in a lounge overlooking a great field of Japan Airlines jumbo jets. It is a-raining in Tokyo. And I have maybe an hour before I'm off to Sydney.

My very great thanks to all in Birmingham who made the UnConvention such a great deal of fun.

And special thanks to thebiblioholic, his wife and his friend, who showed up to give me a predawn tour of Manhattan, including a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and a ride on the Staten Island ferry.

More later with pictures, but it might be quite a bit later!

Listening to BBC Radio Guernsey here - as one does - and they are playing "Lupin the Pot-bellied Pig".

a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and a ride on the Staten Island ferry.

Isn't it wonderful that some of the best things to do in NY are actually free. :-)

Hope you have a safe journey the rest of the way home. Looking forward to your pics whenever you can post them.

I get a lot of it from the amazing people I meet. You are just bubbling with good spirits, for example - I've got a great picture of you bouncing along on the release walk, full of beans and books.
