at least it is when you work in conservation. headed over to the coast last wednesday to check out some whio habitat. managed to cruise up the sytx without getting the truck stuck or injuring myself in the river which, believe me, is quite an achievement!! Saw a few birds but it was a bit of a rushed mission.
cruised back down to franz josef to play glaciologist again but kinda got rained out, so skipped over to wanaka for the mountain film festival. crazy climbing/paragliding/basejumping bastards! kinda puts you off going outside for fear of falling off some steep-arse rockface (or being hit by someone else falling off a steep-arse rock face).
got dragged to the fairydown sale again and came away with a half-price pair of boots and very nearly a tent. will probably end up going again tomorrow to get that tent. yay for student allowance back-payments.
now i'm back in the lab and struggling to find the motivation to do work. tried sugar by enhaling a packet of winegums but that ain't helping. so procrastinating on the web instead. hence the long and rather rambling diatribe to which you have been submitted. sincere apologies :o)
