We are in steady contact with both Haraldur and the brave knights of The
white beauty, presently residing at the blue lagoon. I have not managed to
follow all details but it seems that plan AqÜ-4* was followed quite
closely and successfully yesterday, while one today stuck to plan jY7-#.
Several alternative plans for tomorrow's safe return will be worked out
tomorrow morning.
Today's metaphysical discussion was about what will happen if one should
run out of flight hours in the middle of a flight. The answer seems to be
that there hopefully are specially equipped emergency planes that can
refuel flight hours while the stranded plane remains in the air. Good to
know.
Idar and Christian returned from the southern hemisphere, merry as always.
Harold had his first workday at Geofag here at Andenes - a very warm
welcome. Erlend also joined us briefly. He will later deal with
information matters, together with Christian. Beathe received - as the
first at the site - flowers by special delivery. It turned out she had
gotten a job as forecaster at Storm Weather Center. Well done, only exams
to go before those fat pay checks start filling your mailbox.
Downtown the locals had a procession with torches demanding that the local
school building must be greatly refurbished. As true lovers of knowledge
our project naturally supported this claim warmheartedly.
The entertainment committee continued its efforts to ease people's minds.
This time we were introduced to the splendid action comedy drama "Shoot
'Em Up" - quite correctly branded as "gun porn at its best". A real
goldmine of a movie, although only two brave viewers managed to sit
through the whole show. Others were tempted by the usual shouting about
nice aurora borealis.
Let's stop there
with a three times three "Welcome back White beauty - we have missed you"
