Merry Christmas, one and all! Does anyone still read this thing?

It sounds like you're all off doing far more exciting things than me...I'm pretty much doing exactly the same as this time last year, the only differences being that I now volunteer in Biology at Bristol Museum (which is fun) since Tim Ewin abandoned us for the NHM (but can't say I blame him!).
My trip to Oz in January/February was amazing, even though I didn't discover anything mind-blowing on the dig...a few scrappy pieces of dino and turtle bone mostly. But it was still pretty damn cool! (even though it was about 35 degrees in the shade!).

Me breaking up some rock. We found a nice big ornithopod femur in this block!

Anyone going to SVP next year? It's being held in our own fair Bristol! Maybe I'll see a few of you there! In the meantime, everyone have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Hi Rach,

It sounds like you had an absolutely fantastic time in OZ. OK, so you say you didn't find anything interesting, still an amazing experience I am thoroughly envious of...as I sit here in my office wearing a wooly hat!

Hey Lys!

I did have a fantastic time. I may not have discovered any new species of dinosaur or anything exciting like that, but I got to spend a month in a beautiful country surrounded by lovely people. I'm not complaining! I loved it there.

I'm slightly depressed now...I was there this time last year, and I want to be there now!
