I think I experienced every possible type of weather today! From a beautiful rainbow at sunrise to dark clouds and sideways rain, to enough sun to charge the batteries to 100%, to now window rattling wind as I type this. I guess that’s technically not EVERY type of weather, but at this point I wouldn’t be shocked by a snow storm before dark.
Weather aside, today was still very productive which is my favourite kind of day. No boats in the reserve today which wasn’t surprising.
Facility work:
Cleaned outer windows of both houses
-
- The birds really favour this window on the student house
-
- I’m sure this will only last a few minutes before being redecorated!
Finished work on desalinator; it has been leaking so Cedric did some work on it yesterday and I finished putting it back together this morning but unfortunately it still leaks so more work to come!
Lots of cleaning and organizing inside the house, the wind is too strong for much else right now. My favourite thing to do when the weather is bad is to bake so I quickly whipped up some banana muffins during the rain. I always do my best to not waste any food and make the most of all my supplies here so this was the perfect opportunity to make use of my very brown bananas.
-
- I figured the muffins deserve a before and after too!
-
- Perfect stormy day snack
