Heading to Sydney on Thursday for work then staying for some of Anzac Weekend - catching up with friends and possibly a trip to IKEA. Back in time to see Dr Plonk at ANU Flim Group.

Back to Sydney for The Sydney Miniatures Show the following weekend - day trip only as I want to see Atonement and Elizabeth: The Golden Age the night before.

Double feature of Control and 24 Hour Party people (excellent match!) the following weekend then we're running a stall at the Old Bus Depot Markets Festival of Wool Day on Sunday 18th.

Probably having to drive 4 hours the next week to a dinner for (other) work then on to Melbourne for birthday/ Eurovision weekend.

And that's just the next month :-/
