30th August 2021 in a sunny Johannesburg pulling out of what we hope is the last cold snap of this winter

I am "attending" the APCOM Symposium online. Not a lot of interaction going on with the invisible audience. The setup SAIMM uses does not allow attendees to check out who else is watching or to chat with them, which is very sad. Attending conferences has always been my way of catching up with old friends and colleagues and meeting potential new friends and colleagues. This whole online scenario leaves out all the friendly argy-bargy over coffees and beers and the verbal fist-fights in sessions. This is APCOM 40. My first was APCOM 14 in 1976, 45 years ago. One of the people I met there is still one of my best friends...............................

Hoping one day the UK government will relent and allow me to go home to Scotland. Although I am fully vaccinated and totally willing to self-isolate, I refuse to spend a small fortune being locked up in an airport hotel and fed slop for 10 days..............

In earlier news:Our amazing course organiser, Shaun of Spectacular T&C successfully managed our July 19-23 despite Level 4 lockdown and being stuck in Pietermaritzburg because of the riots and looting. We had 4 in the room and 4 online.

Sorry no plans for future courses as of this date.

Desperate to get home to Scotland without being imprisoned in an airport hotel. I am happy to self isolate but not to be locked up and starved and have to pay for it...................
