Terry and I are heading to New Caledonia for a week, as guests of a comics festival: BD Folies Boulouparis. The festival is this weekend (August 8-9), in the apparently beautiful seaside town of Boulouparis (a little way north of Noumea), and sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to it, of course, although my French is very rusty - so wish us luck!
