Vanessa’s Book Launch at the Camperdown Bowling Club was a resounding success. I bought my own copy and had it signed with a charming, though generic, dedication. ‘”May you have luck in Op Shops”. I drank a lukewarm ginger tea and contemplated a rather well-styled hipster, loser demographic hit the green with much gusto. I filmed the balls rolling along the lawns occasionally interrupted by checkered Volleys and sock-clad feet changing sides between games.
