Florentine Disappointments (Patreon)

On one hand, a guy in my apartment building was singing opera to himself last night, so that was pretty great. On the other hand, a writing gig I had lined up in the U.K. for tomorrow has fallen through for infuriating bureaucratic reasons I could have dodged if they’d given me a heads up say three weeks ago.

Had a bit of a swear to myself, and then reminded myself that I have a pretty lucky life with lots of hard and interesting work, and this opportunity, cool though it might have been, is not make or break, life or death, career or bust. (Thanks mainly to YOU, you gorgeous gang of discerning humans who support me here on Patreon. What ought the collective noun for a group of Alice Fraser aficionados be?)

Disappointment aside, the Salon this week will be at 11am U.K. time on wednesday. This is 8pm Sydney time or your local equivalent. It’s a bit early for the US people but we are recording the gargle at normal salon time. I will send through the link closer to the time.

There will also be another writers meeting on Sunday. At 1pm U.K. time, but we’ll sort that out later.
