The weather gets colder. Minus seven today but this time the wind has dropped and we had a clear blue sky so when I went out this afternoon to help with the very last radar survey it was quite a pleasant experience.
In the morning I spent my day in front of the computer working on a website (a busman's holiday comes to mind but I'm pretty happy playing with Dreamweaver software so it was okay).
This evening we've had presentations from some of the other volunteers: Carla talking about an expedition to Alaska to survey Sea Otters - a project where she was joined by Roy Grant (one of Brookes Earthwatch volunteers, it did look a fantastic experience), Barbara talked about an expedition to Australia to monitor echidnas (amazing egg laying mammals) and Gray, who is my current hero, about his work as an Environmental Co-ordinator in a town in New Jersey. He has given me some fantastic ideas to bring back to Brookes to reduce our ecological footprint.
It's 10.00 pm here, in a clear night sky the northern lights are shining outside, and Mars is the brightest, and reddest, star in the sky. I'm going to go and watch.
