Attentive posture

 

I can remember smiling at a comment in a training manual for medical interviewers: Adopt an attentive but non-confrontational posture.

 

 

Given the unusual bonus of a professional photographer (Douglas Robertson Photography) at the Processing Speed conference in Edinburgh,  I attach a photo which I imagine illustrates the essential elements of my approach to blogging: attentive posture, apparent concentration and capacity to listen, glasses on to impress the gullible with connotations of scholarship, writing implement in hand to record what I hear (but in pencil in case I get it wrong and need to rub it out) and a cup of coffee readily to hand.
