Groundhog Day. It is a different season but with a gentle reminder of
last year. We're on the schedule, we're smothered in a layer of ground
fog, and understandably we're cancelled. As Peter Pan would say, "you
have to believe!" And we do, and while we wait we continue our routine
of reading, watching films, taking windy walks and runs on the skiway,
baking and eating. Not to forget drinking tea of course, which we do in
great quantities.
We actually lost our plane on Monday, well, it's not like it got buried
in the snow and we couldn't find it, it's just as the weather was bad
here and also where we wanted to go, it flew off to the South Pole. As
you do. Today we were scheduled another twin otter to support our away
days for the next week or so which is great, but the fog had other
ideas. We're on the schedule again for tomorrow but we'll have to wait
and see. We're ready and packed to go - maybe that's the problem.
People say that the only way to guarantee a plane is to be unprepared
and get drunk the night before. All the cargo is ready and we have both
just had a nice cup of tea. Hmmmmm, perhaps we need to change tactics?
