| film festival evening |
And there it is! The end of winter and over a year ago I
started my employment with BAS.I have still got plenty of things to tell about
on my blog. But at this point I just want to say that so far it has been an
amazing experience and I am sure there is lots more to come! For those who
don’t know yet: I am staying for another winter. I will go home in November for
4 weeks on a sanity break (lol) and be back down here (on the ship again –
yippie) for Christmas. Maybe this time, I won’t miss the skiing on Boxing Day!

| Plane approaching runway. |
Last week, we had the first planes come through which just
visited for a day (to swap from wheels to skies) and continued on to the South
Pole. They brought freshies (whoop whoop!) and we practised some socialising in
the evening (ok, no penguins noises or saying inappropriate things ...).
However, after I tried to talk to them a little, they left ... I will not take
this one personal ;) They were probably just tired.

| Landed safely. |
Last Saturday, we had our last Saturday Night together which
was celebrated in true Rothera fashion. We had our dinner upstairs and the
evening was accompanied by various videos people on base had made (I myself
managed to put one together last minute and for the first attempt I was quite
happy with it – considering I had not seen the whole thing myself before it was
viewed).
Now, we just have to brush the base up a little more and are
otherwise ready for the BAS planes to come in by the end of this week.
And the video I made is on youtube (hope it stays on this time ...): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUxrNTagaS8&feature=youtu.be
