Well the sun is out, the shy is blue, but it`s bloody freezing! The best way I can describe it, is that it`s like the Yorshire moors everywhere you look. Port Stanley is like Emerdale.

What you doing down there ??? Armed Forces????

It's a bit different to the Sahara Desert where i am at the moment.

It's creeping into the low 50's temp wise most days and it was still 39 degrees at 9:30 pm..............

Some of the local guys caught a snake lastnight, it was very tiny about 30cm long but they said it was very dangerous!!!!!! i took there word for it had a look and went to bed....

I know what you mean about the cold, my days of offshore Aberdeen in -30 wind chill and Alberta Canada in -34 are well and truly over.

When are you home?

Ben

I know what you mean about the internet, technology eh?

I will visit the shop and purchase some items and get some pictures posted

That was my next plan for some offshore work, instead of the forces, but swaying towards a land base job now the web site is picking up with sales. I`ll be home in 113 days. My God did I just say that? Depressed now.
