I knew you'd been away, so I wasn't concerned that you hadn't answered.
Right now I'm leaning towards Sunday. And I'll definitely say hello.

The best thing to do is to look at the programme schedule and decide which day interests you most. Thursday and Monday don't have full programmes, so look at the other days.

And be sure to come up and say hi to me! To be frank – my favourite people at cons are readers who want to talk to me about books and what they are are reading and why…

I've been to other types of conferences before and had a great time but they've been conferences for industries I've worked in.

I mumbled an excuse to Mary along the lines that we'll have visitors at the time. But the truth is that the visitor at that time will be my mum and she wouldn't mind at all if I went off for a day and did my own thing. After all, I won't have had a day to myself 'doing my own thing' for over a month at that stage due to her visit and an overlapping visit by my mother-in-law prior to that.

I mentioned Mary's question to my husband and his response was, "you should go, you know you'll enjoy meeting the people." Wonderful husband that I have 🙂

So, the thought has been there brewing and bubbling in the back of my mind. The bubbling became quite rapid when you first made this post, Glenda, but still I've done nothing about it.

Now here I am half way through my mother-in-law's visit and in need of some 'me' time. My thoughts and my conversations seem to have turned to Swancon and reached a rapid boil. It's time I did something about it. So I ask you this: on which day should I plan to go?

As for computers, I started even before Apple II Glenda, I had computers before Windows was a twinkle in Bill Gates' eye. My first PC was operated with cassette tapes.
