Matters Of The Heart


This week is all about the heart & lots of it. I'd love to say it was the romantic heart that I'll be preoccupied with, but sadly it's the anatomical & physiological heart that will have my full attention. It's the Cardiac Society of Aust. & N.Z.'s Annual Scientific Meeting all week & for once, I don't need to get on a plane to attend, as this year it's Adelaide's turn to play host. All the big bosses + my lovely colleagues are flying in from everywhere today & it's full on from this morning. So there'll be very long days working hard in the Trade Display, lots of didactic & live sessions to attend & some very late nights out drinking, eating & partying early nights tucked up in bed to ensure I'm at my best each day. Thursday I have a 7a.m. breakfast symposium for 130 to conduct with my best client, which means a 4.30a.m. start to get to the Convention Centre by 6.30a.m. - yikes!!! So I'll say goodbye now & if my exhausted state allows, I'll make an appearance on Friday.

    It must be the week for conferences in Adelaide. My hubby is heading there for a meeting. He timed it well as he will be able to attend his Phys-ed School reunion (Underdale) while he's there.(yep, thought I was marrying a jock and somewhere over the last 20 odd years he morphed into a Mathematics Academic,go figure).
    Hope you have a stimulating week!

    This sounds like a terrific time and I hope that there is PLENTY of 'balance' in the program so that you,[alias The Wonders of the Modern Age] can top up your 'fun' as well as 'cognitive' accounts.

    Oh Thursday is early! I find it impossible to get out of bed before 7am and I have two little boys who like to wake early! Must be cold in the Hills that early too. Have a good week. Letitia

    Hey Millie, I hope you have a great week with your collegues/fellow party people. So fitting that you're involved with cardiology...you've got so much extra heart to give, I'm sure you must be a good luck charm. Meredy xo.

    Well, Mill's,
    If you are anything like Mr. Home, you will retire to your bed with a photograph of MOTH at 10.p.m. at the latest !! That's what Mr. Home tells me he does when he goes away on business....well, not a photograph of MOTH but one of me and the children !!! Yeah, right !!
    Have a successful week, Mill's and try and fit in just a little bit of pertying !!
    See you Friday. XXXX
