The most wonderful weather today

The glue team provides the field leader with some welcome distractions.

Today we had no wind, -3 C and sunshine so we used the opportunity to work as much as possible on the surface. We decided to see a movie (Office Space) upstairs in the evening and the whole camp watched together – with popcorn of course.

What we have done today:
