All Good Things Come To An End
and unfortunately for me, the work problem person is back from sick leave… Thankfully not as bad as before but not as good as it was recently.

From Members Club, To Tunnel…
This week is fun and busy, back on site which is great for more field work which keeps me busy and happy. Also went to a friends birthday party in London, en route to site.

Manifesting Too Much?
Unfortunately, whilst it has been fun working doing surveys again, I have not been loving the job this year. Some of my colleagues have been making my life really difficult.

Bat Surveys Again
So this van is getting on my nerves…But despite the hiccup with the silly van, it has been good fun doing bat work in the UK again as it had been a little while since I worked with UK bats!

Bat Walks, Talks and Conference
Red lights, detectors in hand, that moment when someone hears their first pipistrelle and looks at you like you have just revealed a secret world. Bat walks and talks have been back in full swing.

Back In Malawi…
Going back to Malawi, even briefly, has been layered. I was asked to return to train the new research assistant for the bat team and at the same time offered the opportunity to take over the whole programme. Some places hold a version of you that never quite leaves.

Green Fest and City Splash
City Splash Festival was pure summer energy. Good music, good friends and being in a crowd that actually wants to dance. It felt good to be there not working, not organising, just enjoying it.

Bat Forts in Belgium
Been a bit quiet so far this year, just taking some time to chill and be. But I came back online to tell you about a fascinating trip looking at bat hibernation sites in the forts around Antwerp, arriving at one of them by dinghy.

Bats and Batman
Landing the job with the Bat Conservation Trust has felt like things quietly aligning. After six months on covid test sites and then cheffing, I was ready to do something that felt more meaningful again.

Take Each Day As It Comes
The interesting thing is Nottingham still feels like a space to rethink, recalibrate and quietly ask what’s next. When I first moved up here in 2012 I was fresh out of University having done my bachelors and I feel like I am back again like I was then.
