I'm always somewhat surprised by the fact that someone might be interested in something I have to say. I've been doing this for way too long now and every now and again some complete stranger will ask me for a recommendation for a book, or a restaurant, or an exhibition to visit. My friends, too, use me as a constant source of information, perhaps thinking that somehow I have my finger on the pulse of Canberra. I shouldn't be too harsh on myself - a woman once accosted me outside the butchers to tell me that I did what way too often, ease up on yourself, she said - I am blessed with a job that enables me to find stuff out, sometimes to try things out. Even if I have no idea about something, I am also blessed with an ability to bluff my way through any conversation. It's a fine skill to have.
