Today was basically a waste of time. I was at sanc and we finished the mornings work really really early, and we could have done a hell of a lot of the extra work that needs to be done but sadly we never have the time for due to the lack of volunteers. Basically what happened is that 3 of the dogs that were let out on a run didnt come back so we spent an hour and a half looking for them, then only 2 of them came back. We immediately thought the worse as usually dogs go and come as a group. Basically all 5 of us dropped everything and went on a 5 hr hunt for Patch. I got scratched to slithers with all the plant matter I squeezed through, then I almost went sliding into a storey high ditch and was saved just in time by Nadia. The sun was really hot and now I'm feeling its effects on me. Thank God we found the dog though. I was beginning to think she'd fell somewhere and couldnt get out.
The weather was really strange today. I mean in the end it was your typical Maltese summer's day- ie very very very hot and sticky. However this morning I felt I was playing a part in The Wizard of Oz. Either that or Hurricane Emily finally arrived in Malta. When I woke up there was dust flying everywhere and gale force winds too. Then as I was biking up to sanctuary I got soaked cos it started raining- strange!!!!
Anyway the sun has taken its toll on me today so I'm off to bed.
Tomorrow I study...
