Saturday was absolutely stunning so I went for skin on my own up to Gull Lake and did a circuit. In the middle I took off up the ridge and had lunch looking into Junction Valley and at Mt Paget and Sugartop.

The snow has be sculpted by wind where there use to be a waterfall. It has drifted to the wall making it possible to ski along the wall of the dam area.

Friday I made some fruit bread as we had plenty of plain and as there were freshies made a steak fajita feast for dinner.

Every morning I eat yoghurt which is made using powdered milk and powdered yoghurt culture it is very tasty and only takes a few minutes to make.

On Sunday it was OK weather in the morning and we had some work to do so Rob and I took Robert out to La Manche who was transshipping with Saga Sea. The first trip out was stunning however, the snow shower and fog had come in by the second trip. As it got even warmer it turned to rain just in time for our BBQ! Typical…

Monday was a bank holiday in the UK so we took the day off however, Ali and I took off on the fisheries patrol vessel to do some science work for the week.
