Reasons to be grateful this past week include fascinating insights into human behaviour at Dr Doug Lisle’s presentation on The Pleasure Trap, great food and company at the Good Food Month launch at Ovolo Nishi, feeling inspired at the Lifeline Canberra Light up the Night gala, enjoying 10cc live in concert, so much to see, hear, do, learn and eat at the National Multicultural Festival, Sunday brunch with a friend, and the contribution made by our former colleague, Liz, who first joined us eight years ago. Thanks Liz.
