The Aurora left last Monday (May 3rd for those playing at home) to a fanfare for old flares lit up the early evening sky. This is it, the crew of 39 we have now will be stuck with each other for at least the next 2 months - hope we end up getting on well.

Why and what is 'rolling eggs'?
ReplyDeleteYeah why do the eggs need to be rolled, or are they penguins offspring you have stolen??? Damn those penguin chicks are cute.
ReplyDeleteWe did nothing of the sort... at least, not while anyone was looking.
ReplyDeleteThe eggs need to be covered in some sort of sealer so that the air doesn't get into them and they can last for about 6 months. We used paraffin oil and the rolling was simply the easiest way of covering them.
