I have been learning so much in both theory and practice during the last weeks, and I can't wait to what is coming next!
Here, I am learning how to handle a female juvenile of Crocodylus moreletii

Only a few days in Campeche, and I am already handling a little crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii)
Happy to be back in Mexico

At the airport, leaving the UK for México and these appear as soon as I enter a book shop
I'll take them as a sign

Celebrating at Mayfair Market, deconsecrated church
If u know me u know I ❤️ Desperate Housewives — and after Bree, Kat has a special place in my heart, hi @danadelany.bsky.social 😁
The Mayfair name was clearly a sign, the Mexican Embassy’s nearby and I just got my visa! Fieldwork, here I come!

This happened today
I went to see, all alone, to see #hercules and it was so good
The Muses and Hades were my favourite
Not sure about Phil but I think he was the substitute (same for Meg, but I really liked her!)
I still feel the energy received from the Muses 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Every now and then, when I am feeling down I watch my favourite movies
Today is one of those days, so, while working on my computer it is time for To Wong Foo and of course @misscocoperu.bsky.social

This weekend I came back home because when I left the 1st time I travelled with only a backpack
Now I am leaving again, accompanied by a luggage with field work stuff, I have seen my family and pets...heart full of love and sadness, but excited for the months ahead
Italy...see you in a year or so!

Sometimes you have to do things all by yourself
Like going to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the cinema

Oh well, since I am again all by myself, here in Cambridge, (until next year when my dog will be back with me) I went to the botanical garden, to the museum of zoology and to see Fantastic 4
Next weekend: London and Phantom of the Opera

Found a friend today

This morning, I was able to collect my ID card and now I can say that I am officially part of the ARU staff 😊
A few more things to figure out, you know, step by step

Just spent the last 5 minutes distracted by this super little friend

Yesterday, with my sister, I went to Rocca Calascio to see the Castle famous for being part of the movie set of Ladyhawke ❤️

After Taylor Swift...now we have Ricky Martin

One cat on my lap, three dogs on my bed... just because outside there is a rainstorm
(One dog outside because he is not bothered by the weather...Saul, the San Bernard even enjoys it, rain, wind, snow, doesn't matter to him...he keeps sleeping 🤣)

Another dream came true
I am here, international tour
In its English version, as in the West End

Currently recording episode 18 of @dropsofsciencenews.bsky.social podcast
As you can see, I only have my domestic environment... and since I need to talk while standing up, books are a great option to make my mic higher
Lucky me that I read a lot

I have circulation problems in my hands, so I have to use gloves while typing on the pc
I have an elderly cat who absolutely needs to be on my lap, and the hood was to make my mother laugh by telling her that I feel like a hacker from Anonymous
And, yes, I love posters
