One unexpected email was actually quite well received recently, coz it told me there's a Good Food and Wine Show coming up in Sydney and Melbourne soon. Mmmm, hope both my arms are working properly by then, so I can stuff myself with maximum efficiency. Two words for any show organisers who read this page: free samples!
