The days are long



Thursday 25th – 4.08 degrees

Feel very heavy this morning. The teaspoon is heaped with coffee and my soon to be favorite “Viking
(powered) melk” at the ready ! Yesterday was a long cold wet day – up at 6am and sat down for dinner at 10.30pm. Spending most of the time in the tourist camp – making preparation for the upcoming tourist season. Digging trenches for cables and discussing the lay out for the new handlers cabin – but more on that later….
But the upside is more snow has fallen and the mountains surrounding the training cabin have been sprinkled with an icing sugar coating. It’s progressing southwards centimeter by centimeter. The forecast for the weather suggests that rain is on way and on Saturday it will be partially heavy.  
4 teams to train today – puppy walking – yard cleaning etc.

Later in the day ….

It’s been a long day and the least productive since I have started….Our chores to complete is never ending and when you try and fit in irregular tasks in to the already time consuming daily routine, the sheer thought of fitting it all in becomes exhausting. Awake at 6am and to bed at 12.06am with hardly anything to show for it is frustrating.  I am tired. And it shows. 25 days in, with little varation in wake up time and going to bed time. I am slow. Non Productive. Slightly irritable. Clumsy. The rain has been ever present. The yards muddy and I am wet and cold.

6 hours till I need to get up again….
