Water water everywhere

Today was a day of measuring rivers, it is not really surprising that I got wet really is it? We climbed up to the source of the Souteyran, where after some searching we found water. Mr G was incredibly excited and got his feet wet whilst jumping up and down for joy. After this we went on to survey the river at different sites. My wellies were soon overtopped by the water and a few surveying sites later they sustained collateral damage, a great gaping hole allowed water to engulf my feet at every opportunity. This resulted in much comedic squelching whilst climbing up and down the mountainous slopes for the rest of the day. I also managed to fall over in the river a couple of times too so this added dripping sounds too my great repertoire of sound effects. Thankfully I was wearing quick-dry trousers. The water was freezing cold in the rivers and my fingers and toes were numb for most of the day today, but it was great fun. It was lovely to jump in the shower before going to the classroom and actually feel warm water. The maths from this evening was numbing too, but that’s another case entirely. Time to go to bed with my wonderful hot water bottle, bye for now,
Katherine.
