The good thing about finding it late is like waiting for your fav TV series to end up as a DVD box set so you can watch the whole thing in one marathon seating. I liked it so much I had to get my boyfriend to read it but he's an old fashion book reader so it was quite lucky you had a second exibition at ARTSPACE (he read it all in one go on the train to work and back, btw). We've only moved to Petersham in the last 2 weeks so we're really excited about our new suburb. We haven't met our neighbours yet (bz unpacking) funny that no one has come to introduce themselves. Anyway, if you are still in the habit of meeting Petersham folk, drop by for a chat, we live in Westbourne St on the 'sham' side. I stumbled onto your blog by accident while googling ‘ Petersham’.

Then i wonder if what i am doing is as important as i thought, then if anything is important, and then i'm really stuck. yes, as promised, the book is a bit like Adrian Mole. But hopefully, the sex bits will be better in your book than adrians experiences.
