New Zealand is brilliant. The dragon sightings we've had so far were brilliant. We're planning on hopping over to Australia later this morning, which will be brilliant, too, I'm sure. What is not so brilliant is this pile of notes and pictures that keeps on growing. Every time I sit down to sort it out I make an even bigger mess of it.

I'm really starting to think about getting that assistant that they've included in my budget. Or a part-time assistant. Someone to keep things organised and easy to find. But I don't know. The last one I had was a huge, bloody disaster. She thought heels were appropriate footwear to traipse into the hills with. And I swear, I could hear her roll her eyes at me when I got excited about something. So yeah, that didn't work very long. Is it too much to ask for an assistant who is actually interested in my field of study? Will think about that when I get back.

Why would you think that setting domesticated animals free from a pet shop will accomplish anything? Except for landing your arse in trouble and/or jail. Bloody idiot.

And in other, more exciting news: I'm going to New Zealand for a few days later this week to do some research on the Antipodean Opaleye. I've not really had a lot of opportunity to do work there, so I'm feeling like a kid before Christmas right now. And I can't lie, I'm also looking forward to a bit of summer while I'm over there.

Family, can I bring you anything?
