Someone was sent to the airport to receive me, but he was expecting a woman, so when I see a person holding a sign with my name, I walk up to them and they are like. "No. Not you. I'm waiting for a woman." 😅 I see the sign has Ms Dilman Dila on it. I laugh. They make a call, then apologise for it. But I'm laughing and saying not to worry.

In Sharjah, UAE, for a book festival this week. Looking forward to some rest after working with bo play throughout the holidays until last night, and get to be a tourist (and talking about books!)
