Feb. 12th, 2011 10:04 pmTonight, I'm full of facts.
Fact 1: I spent much of today in the strange world of punctuation at the ACT Writers' Centre.
Fact 2: It took me an hour to do the ten minute walk from the Centre to the bus interchange this afternoon. I blame the multicultural festival.
Fact 3: I met the most amazing map. Mr Mundy said he'd give me one if I could return tomorrow, but, alas, tomorrow I'm in Culcairn*, so I have to be satisfied with a miniature version on a leaflet. This map shows the borders of Ngarigu country. James Mundy and I had a nice discussion about overlap between highwayman terrain and Ngarigu country. Also about boat people.
Fact 4: The Ngarigu stall was my official favourite of the multicultural festival. The police had showbags and toys** and fridge magnets and the UAE one had free coffee and dates and SBS had red packets (so my New Year is finally complete) and the "Bridging the Gap" stall gave me my very own copy of the Constitution, but the Ngarigu stall had the nicest people. Also, exceptionally good background music.
Fact 5: I am tired.
Fact 6: There is chocolate icecream in my freezer.
I think I'll let you work out the consequences of all these facts for yourselves.
*Which isn't quite covered in my miniature map, though the exquisite Indigo Valley is. Indigo Valley is in the Ngarigu/Jaithamittung claim area (the map has claim boundaries, flood plains and language areas - it's fabulous).
**UK friends, I scored two police throwing toys, which I shall bring with me. You can be the only people in the whole of your region to have Australian Federal Police throwing toys. All you have to do is not run fast enough and they might be yours.
