PUBLIC LECTURE: The Way the Mind Works

Wed, 27 Jul 2005 19:00 - University Club Theatre Auditorium, UWA Am planning on going - anyone else interested?

Cancelled due to George Ellis being 'trapped in Africa.' He has my sympathy - happens to me all the time.

Have met juffles' new housemate C. who is delightful and fun and made me tea - we dragged him off to the talk and had one of those amusingly farcical travelling experiences whereby we navigated through ignorance and charm⁴.

The desserts at the University Club Auditorium³ are excellent and I recommend them to anyone who happens to be in desperate need of very good chocolate or sticky pudding.

My poor Lambert failed to start on leaving juffles' place - it seems the clamp holding the battery down has failed me and the contact bounced off - am driving in a very sedate² fashion and have lashed the whole thing in place with some string and a rubber band<sup>1

1</sup>It was a BIG rubber band.
²I may have to reinstate the Reckless Driving Frog.
³Very posh. No students in sight. The boys were worried they wouldn't let us eat there
⁴Found some people preparing for some sort of performance and asked a smallish anthropoid mountain for directions.

Volunteers needed.

Paul at UWA in the Human Movement area is looking for more people for his weight-loss through exercise gym program.

If you think you could get to UWA for 1 hour, 3 times a week and want a reasonably gentle regime then let me know and I'll introduce you – anyone who fits into the category of 'could lose some weight' is eligible.

You get a free, 3 month personally managed gym program and he gets lab bunnies to measure for his control group.

Getting started involves a fitness test, a stress test (mandatory UWA thingy to make sure the exercise doesn't kill you) and a DEXA scan¹ – which is the –real- reason to do this.

¹DEXA Scan = Full body composition scan, you can find out how much bone, lean muscle and fat you have AND it comes out in a pretty picture!
