It was a pleasant surprise to see you again Mark. It is always too long between chats and drinks.

Rabia and Jo, or Alan and David, or Angela and Lisa... just my suggestions of who I would love to hear interviewed together!

Though editors and authors are fun to have on together - heard Toni Jordan and Heyward together at Brisbane Writers' Festival last year. Was awesome.

Thank you for taking the time to interview us and also then to edit it up to make us sound awesome. And providing us with entertainment from the Ladies' Auxillary this afternoon.

It occured to me as I was listening, just how much fun Adam and I have with it, and by extension, from listening to you, how much fun our readers have with it.

Thank you so much again.

You need a rain maker... or a midwife to the clouds.

I missed the title in the FB group - and it is so perfect. One of my favourite topics. And I am getting to truly appreciate the form of cinquain (so much I'm going to have a crack at it this coming week!)

Fascinating.

Sleep deprivation was one of the things we looked at when I was at university studying circadian rhythms etc. It was amazing some of the case studies and what they used to test subjects for their cognitive functioning under the duress of sleep dep.

I remember they used pinball with one of the subjects - who have five days without sleep could still beat the researcher. I'll be keeping a close eye on this too, given so many of us creative types go without sleep to fit our endeavours in around everything else expected of us!

From what I have read, haiku and senryu translate badly into English because of the rhythmic stress of English compared to the syllabic stress of Japanese.

At the end of the day its about having fun.

And even here, stuck in a capital city we've had our fair share of firey smells this summer. To go with the mouldering smell of rotting mud in the sun!

Your hand writing rocks!

I think it's sad we're so reliant now on digital forms of communication. Our handwriting is one of those ways of identifying ourselves and each other, a unique everyday manner of self expression (just in the style of the handwriting). Which is why I now find it strange to do my capital printing (I can write in three different styles!) as it now just looks like Ella-Louise's handwriting.

I was just saying to Sean on Twitter I'd love to see some of these homesteads as Sean and I were talking about them in our podcast interview.

I have to agree with that... and I wonder too (editor in me can't help myself after I read your behind the scenes commentary) about forgotten soldiers as the last line.

Date palms remind me of Port Douglas and Christopher Skase buying an entire plantation of them in Northern Territory and having them transported to Port Douglas to line the road in from the highway. To me date palms (because of this) always scream excess.

I'm enamoured with it the more I read it... the more there is in there... the deeper it goes. I can't wait to see your handwritten ones.

Do work places even have post-it notes these days, waiting in the stationery cupboard to find new homes abroad of the workplace?

I can see me going out a getting a block and posting them out to my bestest poetry writing buddies :)

Oh... and what I really wanted to comment on: that love is not flashy, it doesn't say look at me... it is a quiet thing that speaks so loudly!
