Nothing adventurous today for the blog as people seem to want to know about some everyday things. We did have an amazing day weather wise on base though – started with a light drizzle, then snow, then sleet, hail, thunder, lightening, sun and this evening was absolutely stunning with the evening light sparkling on the cove.

Tommy and I went for a great walk up a waterfall which was a really wonderful find and got back late for dinner after scrub out (more on that later).

Anyways back to the normal things! The picture at the top is our gym in the boatshed. I use it every lunch time to lift some light weights it is amazing how different my strength is after only a month and a bit. On a beautiful day I open up the doors and look out on the cove and Grytiviken. There is a brand new rowing machine, a bike (which is not good at all), a cross trainer, a large weight lifting set up which can in its many configurations basically exercise all the muscles and a punch bag.
