IF YOU LEFT A T-SHIRT OFF TO BE PRINTED, PLEASE CALL KRISTINAT THE BIOLAB (X 2342) FOR A STATUS REPORT; IT IS PROBABLY READYTO BE PICKED UP.

ALSO ON THE TOPIC OF T-SHIRTS; IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THATBEST RESULTS IN RETAINING COLOR PERMANANCY CAN BE ACHEIVED IF THEDESIGN IS IRONED AGAIN FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MORE MINUTES. PUT APAPER TOWEL BETWEEN THE IRON AND THE DESIGN, SET THE IRON ONMEDIUM AND KEEP IT MOVING OVER THE DESIGN. MOST OF THE WASHROOMSHAVE IRONS AND IRONING BOARDS.

... from Scottland

Ha ha ha ha! Was just kidding\vhen I said it wasn! really thatcold. Great swim, eh! Last Sundaywas quite a day. In fact it endedqUitE' a ·week.

Tht? Wednt?sday was ANZAC day.That's when we Ct)mmernorate theserVIces ~'f New Zealand andAustralian soldiers who fou-.;ht f~)r

L

~)urcoun try's in the past wars. andespeciaJly those '1Yho never made itht'rne. A, sh..'Yt service was held atthe Scott Base fla~pole, at sunrise.whereup\.)n the I\ew Zealand fla~'1'ras kwrered t-,... half mast.Aftenrards. a special cake WaS

presented to the ki\yis of Scott Baseand Fishers, fn.)m the Americanresidents of McMurdo. Thank youvery much for all tlh.)se inv,-,!ved It

!

was really choice!

1h.3.t same day was the last sunset.Only an hour after the ANZACdawn service. arl~)ther service washeld at the flagpole. This time theflag was taken down altogether. 11will now remain down until sunriseon 20 August as it is now officiallythe Antarctic Nightime.

WelL thats what Al told us! Ifyoure over at Scott Base you 11n(ltice that not only is the flag gone,rut so is the flagpole. After a littlebit of research you would learn that.the pole \vas getting a bi1 51tabbyand needed a paint job. I reckonthat's "really" ;,hy the flag camedown. It s not ni:sht- time at all! In"-fact. it isn! even dark outside. The

only reason it appears that way isthat we al'e told it is night. andtherefore conclude that i1 must bedark outside, Have you had a reallyclose look for yourself? Just atheory, mind you!

Back to the story! Being sunset, itwas, of course. time for the annualScott Base Sunset Swim. Aspromised. a great day appeared tobe had by all who attendedSunday's activities. The weatherpeople turned on .a real crar.ka of aday, as usual! With a tempera hire~~f-16.7°, and winds of 16 Knots, theI'rindchill was only -380 degreesCelsius which must be about thesame in foreignheight. So after atluir.k dip in the -2° water, to warmup, it was inside to warm up evennh.)re over the barbeque. Ye ha! BetY~)Ucant wait for mia-winter?

Well, maybe if they say i1 "is" night-time, then it'll be O.K if we allshoot off to bed! I'm keen. Oh, andbefore I :;;0, I was asked to mention'-'that would the person whoaccidently (we assume it was anaccident) ran over the rabbit on theScott Base road the other ni:;;hl,

L'

please clean the poor bunniesremains off the road. It's reallydisconcerting for drivers to have toveer around the little blotch on thesno"'l. At least have the decency togive him a proper burial. Sorry toend on a dull note.
