Good Day

Today I am having a good day, keeping busy with my new end-of-well report. I am trying to set a speed record but this one won't work out: it is a complicated well where many things went wrong.

and...

I went skiing in the afternoon!!!

This was my first time cross-country skiing. Good exercise...but I can't say I enjoyed it! I spent the first 40mins failing to understand how to move forward rather then backwards, and the last 5 mins finally slipping and sliding my way out of the Taiga. Give me slopes any day...although I
will try it one more time in case I manage to do it AND find a way of enjoying it too (and if my arms haven't fallen off in the morning).

Here are a couple of photos of my patient co-skiiers-I don't know the name of the girl with the white coat. One of them is Oxana (HSE girl, organised the skiing, eating her glove), another Svetlana (standing next to me), who lives in the neighbouring room. Michal is a Polish guy on a week trip over from Rijswijk.
