I’ve just come back from the Alzheimer’s Conference 2007, here in Perth. What an awesome event that was. There were over 880 delegates from over 20 countries, endless workshops and talks, and no end of chatting. I met some fantastic people. carers, professionals, researchers, and those who have been diagnosed with the disease.

As you can tell my mind is still reeling, and of course my feet as still throbbing. How do people who are on their feet all day manage it? Pam and I manned our Life’s Inspirational Moments table for 10 - 12 hours a day, I had my comfy shoes on (Pam had heels on) but …. If anybody has tips on standing all day PLEASE let me know.

Also, another question, if they spent so much money of building our ‘you beaut’ Convention Centre (where the conference was held) why didn’t they include enough parking ? All the bays had gone by 7 most mornings! Great function centre though, loved the views and the idea of having a hotel attached, to say nothing of the food. Off to sort all the stuff I bought back now, and perhaps put my feet up again.
