It's really sunny!!! I'm finding it really hard to believe how cold and snowy it is back home. The meteorologist inside me knows that of course it is possible - we are on different hemispheres. But when I was sat outside at 9pm in just a vest top watching the sun set I just couldn't quite believe that everyone back home is all cold and snowed in.
So me Jo and Jayne all had a day off today (well, Jayne was going onto a night shift). We had the landrover too, so wanted thought we would head off into Stanley so Jo could get her souvenirs, and we would go to the beautiful Surf Bay.
We called in to the bosses house to get some oil for the car, and he suggested we have a BBQ round his later on. Yayyy.
It felt like a day on holiday, it was really strange! We got to Stanley and it was, as usual, pretty quiet. I can't work out why all the shops are closed on a Sunday. It's the one day that most MPA staff have off, yet they close up for the day?! Even the pub / restaurant we wanted to have sunday dinner at was closed. (It's the restaurant where the recipe book James' mum got me for my birthday comes from, so I really wanted to eat there!!) We decided that with the nice weather we should just get sandwiches and have them on the beach anyway.
The beach was the busiest I had ever seen it. There must have been about 15 or 20 people there maybe, so it actually felt like a mini holiday. It felt quite a lot cooler at the beach, and I dropped my sandwich on the sand too. Oh no :(
We left around 2.30 and went to the shop for BBQ stuff, and headed back to MPA. We collected James and went round to Simon's for a BBQ and a couple of drinks.
