Pushing, pushing

I attended the launch of Aberdeenshire's writing magazine 'Pushing out the Boat' in Banchory last night. I have a poem in it which always feels good! I'm not used to anything like literary events but it was OK. Even my faithful companion survived it (and enjoyed some of it) and that when there's a Champions League semi-final on TV at the same time (the true test of love and devotion...).
We especially enjoyed the readings by Stephen Pacitti, Morag Skene and Haworth Hodgkinson but it was all interesting. Roll on the rest of Wordfringe...
