There must have 15 Australians that I knew there. I just kept running into them in the main concourse, so I didn't feel lonely.Rowena Cory Daniellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995983965583233914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350876141132999492.post-17469365727919732702010-01-30T23:31:38.502-08:002010-01-30T23:31:38.502-08:00Thanks for the links all in one place Rowena.

Your baby looks quiet and rather relaxing in comparison ;)<br /><br />So I'll see you in Melbourne, and do me a favour, don't bring any hats ;)<br /><br />Thanks for fixing the links :)Thoraiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09679750105137251364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350876141132999492.post-82826529850192205572010-01-29T22:55:32.235-08:002010-01-29T22:55:32.235-08:00Thanks Eleni,

Two love stories in fact! <br /><br />One is about unrequited love and one is about a love that drives a character to action.<br /><br />I find love is a great motivator.Rowena Cory Daniellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995983965583233914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350876141132999492.post-31244881098522553382010-01-29T22:09:26.538-08:002010-01-29T22:09:26.538-08:00Love the cover art Rowena.
