Off to Adelaide

Woke up several times last night to heavy rain. It makes us think of Richard and Robyn (and all our other dairy farming friends) who will be calving in the mud. Mind you they started the season with glorious weather which is an improvement on other years.

I have an early start tomorrow, I have to leave at 4am to drive to Auckland airport for an 8am flight to Adelaide. I have been asking IMAC to send me to the Australian Public Health Associations biennial conference for years now and finally I'm going. Fly out tomorrow (Sunday) and return late Friday night. I have never been to Australia! The conference finishes Thursday lunchtime so I am hoping to get to IKEA that afternoon. We have dinner presentations most evenings (and breakfast presentations most mornings!) but have managed to book a theatre production for tomorrow evening. Pen (my manager) and I are going to see an Ibsen play An Enemy of the People. I am really looking forward to the whole week. (Posted in November!!)
