That seemed to go well

I spoke to Dr Majid last night and agreed what we would cover in the presentation this morning. Got up early this morning to put some brief notes together. We'd agreed to meet over breakfast at 8.15. When it got to 8.30 I began to worry, then discovered I was in the wrong place! Whooshed round to the right place in time for another quick chat before things got started. Things were already running a little late by the time our session came round, so I truncated my 8 mins to 6. Surprised even myself at how much I was able to cover in just 6 mins! Not many people attending the session, but those who were there very interested, and made a few potentially useful contacts. Found myself temporarily promoted to "Dr Smillie" - almost everyone else speaking is a "Dr" so I guess the session chairperson was playing safe, as some people can be very touchy about their hard work in achieving a doctorate not being recognised. Now I need to go and check out, then I'll rejoin Dr Majid for lunch, sit in on a session dealing with aspects of intellectual property rights, then it's coffee, then I'll have to head back to the airport to catch the flight back.
