A very busy 4 days are over & I so want to kick off my shoes & put my feet up on this very pretty foot-stool from the gorgeous fabric house Voyage Decoration. The Conference was marvellous, the Organisers did a fantastic job & the Scientific Programme was awesome! On Saturday one of the Research Fellows presented a paper on the first 2 cases of an amazing new procedure & received something I've rarely seen in 20 years, a standing ovation from his peers. His presentation actually moved me to teary eyes. I thought how lucky we are to have such fantastic young Clinicians in this country who are so passionate about what they do - the future looks very bright, as long as we can keep them here for the long-term.
I had a lovely villa at the Resort, but really didn't get to see much of it. However, it was such a treat to be able to leave the windows open in my bedroom & be lulled to sleep each night by the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the beach just a few metres away. We had a free afternoon on Saturday & so raced off for a quick run around some of the Margaret River wineries. I was particularly taken with the breath-taking Voyager Estate - quite spectacular, I want to return soon.
As I suspected MOTH & the boys got up to mischief & looked to have launched this year's Footy Season extremely 'enthusiastically'. No work had been done on the bathroom, the fridge was stripped bare & the pantry looked like it had been raided by the marauding hoards! So I'd better drag my exhausted mind & body down to the Supermarket & restock before MOTH chews off his arm in hunger desperation!
I'm glad you had a lovely time! Falling asleep to the sound of waves sounds heavenly. Great to have you back.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a very successful conference Millie. I am in awe of these scientific brainwaves who can change and save the world - long may they discover. Welcome home to the joys of time out - more shopping and much more tidying up!! xv
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Millie, glad to hear you a lovely time and got to check out some of the wineries.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good conference. Love the little footstool mwith the butterflies. Just whimsical enough for spring!
ReplyDeleteAhhh...it is so nice to be missed, isn't it. Your conference sounds interesting and even better that you enjoyed it. Welcome home Millie.
ReplyDeleteCould you return with some nice wine???
What pretty fabric. Sound like a lovely time. It is always such a chore going to get groceries after being away, isn't it? I am all for putting my feet up today but it will have to wait until later tonight ;)

You certainly deserve to put those feet up Millie - I'd be sending those boys out to do their own grocery shopping! Get them to make you a cup of tea while there at it! Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteOh Millie, put your feet up. Glad to here the house didn't burn down and all is still good at 'Casa Millie'. I used to love scientific conferences when I was in the game... I used to get off on Endocrinology Conferences... loved 'em!... now all I've got is 'Mystery Diagnosis' on Foxtel. A-M xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you it all went well. A resort sounds wonderful so does the thought of being a missing persons. Did I just say that? Have a great day. Heidi
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, sounds like a great conference. I wish I could put my feet up too - no such luck as I am heading down your way for the next couple of days for work. Amanda x
