I'm wishing I was back in New Zealand! I have a piece coming out tomorrow on the impacts of agency funding cuts and attacks on staff on virtually all of the projects I'm working on. I need to stay focused where I can make a difference - local, and water. It's not easy!
To add to your fascination and disgust, when we were in France last August, a mosquito was buzzing around my head as I tried to sleep. Then it stopped. And the buzzing in my right ear started. Every thirty seconds, although the interval increased until by 8am I stopped.
When we returned home I had my ears suctioned and the nurse was appalled to find the late remains of the mozzie encased in wax.
“I told you!” I said brightly.
This is not the first time this has happened. Last time was in France too.
This was fascinating, Melanie. I'm sorry, but not surprised, that the effects of our coup are being felt so far away.
It's definitely going to be felt around the world. I use a lot of US government websites and there's so much valuable research done in the USA.
I hope you are doing ok.

It's not quite the same here, but we do have our most right wing government in a long time wrecking stuff too. Making a difference locally is key.
