A long last minute

skyringI didn't get much writing done yesterday. Had to go out op-shopping with my daughter and buying stuff for Easter. Looked in the bargain box at the Salvos for "food" books to release on Sunday and I got a couple - "Reason with Honey", some sort of sweet romance i can leave on the "Reason" shelves, if I can find them, and "Secret Sins", which looks like a candidate for the chocolate section to me. 10c each a pop and then I turned up a copy of Rand's "Run For the Trees", a shocker/thriller which is worth $US25 on the second hand market.
And I found a "Small Business Server 2003" polo shirt, complete with logo. It was all I could do not to rip off my shirt right there in the street and swap them over. Ah, cheap thrills of a nerdly bookseller!
Apart from the prawn paste debacle, I checked out the Officeworks print shop. Deadline for Fed-Exing to St Louis is Tuesday and as it happens Officeworks is open all Easter Weekend bar Good Friday, which is today and I'll need that to get my book finished if I bustagut. They can print up A4 (letter size for you Yanks) copies and bind them up for me. Kind of kludgy, but it will be better than anything I can do on my inkjet and stapler (or chewing gum).
So that's a relief. Anyway, must get into it.
