I got to sleep in a little on Thursday morning, then spent some time gazing at the view. Which mean I managed to catch a fairly rare occurrence: the opening of the Pyrmont Bridge.

It was opened to allow the floating stage at the left of this photo to pass through. Not long after I walked across the bridge (closed again) to get a bite to eat, do a bit of shopping and visit the Orbit office.
Then Amy, the Syndey accounts manager, and I headed off for an afternoon of bookshop visits. First stop was Infinitas Books in Paramatta:

Then on to Dymocks Penrith, and the lovely Lizzie:

And a well attended signing at Gaslight Books, where I had some great conversations with fans, thanks to Mark:

And finally we popped into Kinokuniya where Helene helped me sign a nice big pile of books.

So there are now signed copies in all these shops for Sydneysiders who might fancy one.
