SME etc

Only skiied for about 3 hours today. Very cold and snowing heavily in afternoon.

Checking email at 4.30am this morning (7 hour time difference)! Had emails from Fathi Habashi and Norman Lotter, saying they will be looking out for Jon and me during our 1 day (Monday) at the SME exhibition. In the current economic climate it will be interesting to see who is there (or more importantly who is NOT there). I would think that showing that you are alive and kicking is particularly important at the moment.

Talking of the economy, Amanda has posted on MEI Online a link to what looks to be a very interesting article, by John Chadwick in International Mining. He has interviewed representatives from the leading suppliers in the minerals industry, for their views on how the industry will fare in 2009 and 2010.
