Scottish Dancing in the Church
On Friday night we had a birthday party/scottish dancing evening in the church. (above picture by Rob Webster)
The drinks were cooled in the nearby creek and the food cooked on the BBQ by Paula (boating officer). Everyone’s legs were stiff the next day after the gay gordon, strip the willow etc.
The band of Rob (BC), George (Boating Officer), Jon (Predator scientist) did an amazing job. As you can see two of them were dressed for the occasion.
The party continued till 3am. I left earlier of course 🙂 and made it through the gaunlet of sleeping fur seals in the pitch dark along the track back from Grytviken to base. This one is a juvenile pup…. more on furry’s later!

There are 15 BAS staff at the moment, 5 museum staff, 5 builders (but non of them showed up), 4 government officers/wives and then our boss and a plant eradication guy were here as well but have since left. Also the couple who have lived here on their yacht for the last two winters.
