Chinese whispers

We had an good trip yesterday, starting by going to pad 5 to rescue my towel, which had got switched by an enthusiastic cleaning lady. However, they will only give it back to me in return for the other one, so I have to go back again.
After that we drove along a winter road to pad 16, so that I could see where it was, and more importantly, drive through the forest...it was really lovely and I was so annoyed with myself at not having brought the camera. I have promised myself that only a case of Force Majeure will prevent me from going along there again today.
The winter road is so named because it is no more than a track through the forest, and it was easy to imagine that this is what working here would have been like not so long ago. It is completely impracticable in the summer as it is effectively a swamp.
After this fun excursion we went along to the CPF, got the admin sorted although failed to find a mechanic for the car, which was broken, again (handbrake not working, again). By the way, did I mention that although the trusty Nivas look like something from the 70s (see earlier photo), they are actually only 2 1/2 years old?
As for the story about the lorries-well several did in fact fall off the road, but the road closure was actually caused by a silly sand truck driver forgetting to lower his tipper, which then took out half an electrical archway (cables tend to run over roads in arches as burying them is not practical)...I will try to get a photo of one of these later today.
Now though, I need to get back to work as we are drilling through reservoir. This means that logging will take place around 1am...hmmm. I might not be able to post for a little while again, especially as we are also doing an XPT run.
Oh and by the way, we have water again!!
