SCRUB THOSE POTS - wednesday 17 october



Weather: -12.c, wind chill -34.c

Yet another pearler day in paradise.

I woke up to a funky tune playing over the p.a at the firehouse this morning. Last week we had a cracker of a song which lyrics were "i wish i could be in antarctica'

Off duty today so off to the gym i headed to play Lance Armstrong, and ride the bike for an hour. They have a bunch of super flash stationary bikes here called spinners, they look just like road bikes. I felt like i was in zee "tour de antarctica"

I grabbed an early lunch today, then Chris (firefighter) and i jumped into the kitchen and volunteered to lend a hand. The D.A's (dinning assistants) work SUPER hard here in such an unrespected job. We were on dish washing duty, 1200 mouths creates a lot of dishes! that's the best work out ever.....Lance if you're listening.....

Scott, heath, zach and i are heading out hiking at 3pm, doing a loop track which passes one of scott's huts. Then after dinner a bunch of us are hitting the bowling alley. yes you did hear right! Antarctica has it's own bowling alley. It's full of character and there's even a dude at the end of the alley who's job it is to re-stack the pins. He's called a pinsetter. Retro style. I like it.

Hey Lil Liz
Nice to see you are helping out in the kitchen where you're supposed to be. Don't cook the meals though, they will want the meat and veges at the same time. By the look of things you are having a great time. Take every opportunity you can while you are there. Have a great time and watch out for the Polar Bears sneaking up on you?????
