Decided that our cottage will now be known as Plum Tree Cottage. How original is that. I suspect if I had named it in Welsh, I could have got away with a snappy little title - y bwthyn ar y bryn gyda choed eirin a barcutiaid coch yn hedfan uwchben. Which translates as -the cottage on the hill with plum trees and red kites flying overhead.
Longest day has gone and each evening the sun sets a little earlier. I have two pics , the first was the sunset on longest day - that is the sun set behind a cloud, but the pic came out ok and the next pic was the actual sun setting a couple of days later.
I have one last sunset to show, which is my screen saver and will be my last blog. (7th September 2013)
So, the last week had the Charles Marques memorial Lecture, which was given by Prefessor Semir Zeki. How does the brain perceive colour. A fascinating look, with sorting scientific testing, at how our brain works with colour. We see absolute colours, intensity and time of day does not come into it. Green is green, etc. There was a good half and hour of questions, followed by more discussion over drinks. A great evening.
The next day was the Surveyor Conference, which I chaired in the morning and gave a paper in the afternoon. I think that is my last official engagment. A good conference, with the challeges of cost saving and how technology can help, + a look at some of the ILP Prefessional Guides.
This week is my last Executive Board Meeting. Lots to engage us, and we will have Mark Cooper (Senior Vice President - Designate) sitting in on the meeting. Just to remind you, Mark's job as VP membership is available, so if you think you could make a difference, do apply. Talk to Richard Frost (richard@the ilp.org.uk)
I wish all who read this well until my next blog - whenever!!
Pete
