Women's Day

Today is International Women's Day according to Russian tradition.
At 8am Pasha called the office to invite us over to the canteen, were I was presented with gifts, along with the other ladies (kitchen and cleaners). I got some chocolates and a travel iron!! :-)

Yesterday, I travelled to basecamp to see off some of the geologists (1/2 crew change, Alexey, Sergey R and Vassily went home, Sasha A, Sergey A and Slava came back) and have a bit of time off-did I mention things have been rather crazy here?!

The boys decided to throw us an advance Women's Day party as all 4 SSFT girls were around (crew change for our TAs Anna/Vlada, and Genia-the-PT also just arrived). We had tea and cake, and received roses and soft toys :-))) one more for my private zoo ;-)

All in all another nice day yesterday, even though Slava *stole* my car, hrmph!





SSFT ladies: Eyvegenia, Vlada, Anna and me
