We experienced milder temperatures and actually had enough winds to flask on Wednesday. Back on station things are noticeably quieter now that the number of personnel is decreasing to the winter level. There were parties in Monsters on Friday and HOC Saturday, and a good time was had by all. However, the clear highlight of the week occurred Sunday, when Brad cleaned up at the weekly bingo game. He managed to walk away with a huge victory of $128. He will henceforth be known as Bingo Brad. Hope everyone has had a great week. Steph and Brad
