I'm there...

I was halfway to Adelaide this morning when I realised I had no idea what Nan, who was meeting me, looked like. Hmm. It wasn't a problem though, we found each other with no problems. The May Gibbs apartment is lovely, spacious and wonderfully kitted out. Nan took me for coffee with another committee member, Jo. After some grocery shopping, Nan left me to it. Mary, wife of Ian, Trust chairman arrived a little while later to show me around the area. I'm not noted for my sense of direction, and her tour helped give me a sense of the layout of Adelaide and Norwood where the apartment is.

I spent the afternoon unpacking and then began writing. Already it's easy to see that this will be a good and productive working space. I have realised though that I really need to get the timeline for this novel firmed up, before I go much further. That's tomorrow's first task.

I knocked off at fiveish to take a walk. There's a great memorial avenue of trees close by and I followed it for a while, returning just on dusk.
