The trauma of applying for a visa every time I wish to travel to a conference. Documents for everything. Even have to provide a copy of every past visa received. Still need to get printed photos, then spend half of Friday at the application centre. And do biometrics. And pay a small fortune.

Looking for lions in Kruger but keep bumping into wild dogs instead. They have the best expressions and craziest range of ears.

A treat to fly into Kruger National Park today. So green, with full waterways. Off to search for our lions after recent floods.

Probably the best primer in the field (brilliant for students to read), but Springer Nature shows the wrong cover! 😟
