We finally got our internet and phone up and running last week. Phew!
In the midst of all the internet drama, I went to Canberra for 3 days for an alcohol and drug conference. It was my first one (bloodborne virus-related conferences being my usual shtick). The conference was held in Canberra and I was hoping to spend some time walking around the city but unfortunately it rained every minute I was there, and I only managed to walk the five minutes it took to get to Koko Black for some amazing chocolates (my own brand of drug/alcohol). It was a different sort of conference than I'm used to, full of sessions alternating between the benefits of moderate consumption and the evils of over consumption. Of course, my favorite sessions were on the benefits of moderate consumption of alcohol, which is something I can really get behind.
Lucky for me, Jen, expert epidemiologist and cocktail mixer, is here for a visit. They arrived late last week and left this morning for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. We'll be meeting up with them next week to spend Christmas together in a beach house up the coast from us. Can't wait. I'm looking forward to some moderate consumption of cocktails over the holidays!
