Mt Blanc in July. : In summer I enrolled in a five day mountaineering course, aimed at climbing Mt Blanc - Europe's highest mountain at 4,807m - via the 3 Monts route.

Australia in July. : In July I attended the Minding Animals conference in Newcastle, which rapidly developed into the leading conference for several years in the human-animal studies field.

I also seized the opportunity to visit friends and family in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney.
