Things have got a little busy recently with my dissertation proposal being written and exam revision getting well under way!
Well when the sun has been out it has been lovely! Even though it hasn't been ridiculously hot and there has been some wind I still managed to get burnt on my shoulders and face so I am looking like a lobster. What can I say, it's a talent!
Monday I volunteered to check bird nest boxes and it was fun though to say I chose to go on the side that wasn't steep, it was steep! After slipping down on my stomach a good metre or two twice and pulling my arm I was happy to navigate my way back down. It was a very good experience and it will be even better when there are eggs in the boxes!
Pretty much all of my time this week has been spent outdoors which is something I love to do. I don't mind being indoors but I prefer to be out and about. Me and two of my house mates Amy and Tom decided to venture up to Roman Camp and the views are so amazing it's as though you're standing on top of the world. You can see over to Anglesey, can see the mountains behind Bangor and see bits of Bangor. I shall do a post about Bangor because I mention it a lot yet have never really talked about it, how silly of me!
It's been really nice to have the sun out for a few days as I've been out lots and it's saved me from going crazy from being cooped up in the house or library to do work.
Thursday I had a ridiculously early morning, my alarm was set for 2.30am to meet at 3.30am to go on a dawn chorus trip. So after a few hours sleep where I woke up pretty much every hour, I was considerably cheery and looking forward to what would happen. On the trip we were lucky enough to see Saturn through a telescope and it was breathtaking! The rings of Saturn could be easily seen, it was as those it was right in front of you (though it would have been so much bigger in size!) The morning consisted of listening to bird songs and identifying the birds and watching the sunrise. How I wish I had a decent camera to have been able to capture some of the things that I had seen and share with you!
Basically this week has consisted of eating out, working, soaking up the sun and spending time with friends. Definitely need to sort out getting better at taking pictures of things I do and see.
I shall blog when I can but I'm just counting down until Friday when my dissertation proposal will be handed in and then the 17th at 11am when I am free for summer and I can get into blogging more regularly.
Hope you've had a good week and weekend!
