YEAH. I got mail. YEAH YEAH YEAH. Thanks pops for the Milo and Faith for the incredibly awesome Milo poem that is now on my wall. Thanks Nigel and Jennie for your travelling postcard, it looks nice and warm. I also got the invitation to one of my friends wedding. WICKED. Mail is like gold down here. Apparently there is 20,000 pounds of box package mail sitting in chch waiting to come down here. Flat mail, such as letters or anything posted into one of those big envelopes from the post office gets here super fast. Dad only sent that package on the 24th and it's already here. Unfortunately I’m still waiting for my firefighting uniform to get here, which was sent to chch from the states in September.
This morning I had delta training. I got to drive the beast around to practise for the trips I’ll lead out to cape Evans. What a blast. This thing is SO big, her wheels are over my head.
The arvo has been spent cruising and chatting with friends. Typing on the computer, and reading my lovely mail. Hint hint.
It was lovely to talk to hubby for a while today, and Cam too. They're getting ready to head over the hill to martinborough for a good friends wedding. I've sent them a telegraph from Antarctica to read at their wedding. Hopefully they think that's pretty cool.
I ran up the ridge track too. It was so incredibly windy. Now I though Wellington was windy but that is nothing compared to the gusts we get down here. I wish I had my camera to video. I was leaning over 45 degress and the wind was holding my body weight up. Incredible.
Tonight I had more delta training then watched a video with some friends. I have my first trip to Cape Evans this Sunday,
SWEET AS.
