CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA!

You've chosen Obama and not Romney...whew! Even though Obama has been a disappointment in so many ways, not the hero who will make everything better that we all imagined four years ago, he is still preferable to The Mitt. I'm not going to engage in political discussion - other people do that so much better - I'm just very relieved at the election result. 

Back here in my small world, I'm getting ready for the table I'll be standing behind this Saturday, 10 November, at the Comiket Festival. If you're in London, do come along and say hello. Of course La Vie en Rosé will be there, as well as copies of the printed version of My Life Unfolds and a few other things, including postcards of my graphic story Hindsight .

Good luck with this, Natalie. May your fanbase increase! It's my granddaughter's birthday so I'm afraid I shall be otherwise engaged.

No problem, Dick. Enjoy the birthday and see you soon/whenever at the Junction.

Sadly, London is a long, long way - otherwise I'd definitely go along. I have emailed/facebooked people I know who live closer though.

Re America, it's funny the way people feel over here. I turned on the telly this morning to see if Obama had won and the presenters (talking about something completely different) looked relaxed and seemed to be smirking slightly. I thought, ah, he's won. Was it my imagination? It turned out he had.

Hope all goes very well, Natalie! And I have an inkling of how much work you have to put in to be ready ...

Natalie d'Arbeloff said...

Dominic, thanks very much for the PR! If any friends of yours come along, I hope they'll introduce themselves.
Yes, I agree about the more 'relaxed' attitude to the US election over here - I thought the same when I was watching TV.

Adam, I'm not taking very much to my table. It's really just to give a bit of outside-the-internet presence to 'La Vie'. But it will be a long day!

Jean said...

Still hoping to come along.

Natalie d'Arbeloff said...

Hope to see you there, Jean.

Hattie said...

Oh, there you are!

Hi Hattie, yes I'm here in this mirror-image blog. I don't know what I'm going to do about comments over at the main Blaugustine - I just can't find another system that works there!
