Loneliness. Isolation. Despair.
Shock horror! The internet has been down for a whole day, plunging us back into the dark days of the 1990’s! This isn’t due to dodgy wiring, but to having to raise the satellite dish onto a new mound of snow to prevent it getting buried in snow over winter. Dean and Dave, the coms managers needed only 8 hours to move the dome, but another 8 to scan the cosmos for our link to humanity. After a few false starts the satellite was located sometime after midnight. Nice work lads!
Back outside, the new Honda Quads (“A great toy… sorry, scientific research vehicle” (Top-Gear Magazine)) are proving useful and reliable. Martin wanted a few photos so two ‘Antarctic Hero’s’ posed in the low sun. Jealously guarded by the garage, I managed to grab a go and went exploring the mounds and wind tails on the tracked quad. The grip is unbelievable.

Dave - are you actually doing any work out there, or is it like over here, where you get a bit of snow and every one stops and ends up playing in it? I think I've sussed you lot out. Should have seen the M6 around birmingham this morning. A dusting of snow and it all turns to chaos.
Excellant blog. Keep it up,
I can confirm that Dave does indeed work, I was at the Simpson yesterday and he, Tamsin and Kirsty were too busy to make me a cup of tea. They were so busy, they ordered me to make the tea when Brian turned up.
I fail to see how reading magazines and browsing ebay qualifies as work mind you ...
