Have to be quick -- I'm on a hotel PC and I'm almost out of credit!! Flew over to Canada yesterday and arrived safely in Vancouver. Did a couple of school events this morning and they both went well -- older kids than I normally get in the UK (because teachers are more wary of "The Demonata" on this side of the Atlantic!!) but they responded nicely. Then did a very enjoyable public event in the evening. I was worried there might be a low turnout, since this is my first trip here, but lots of fans turned up and I ws signing for well over an hour after my event -- nice!!! It's a top-notch start to the tour -- hopefully the rest of it will pass as smoothly!
