Worms!!

Was on cooking duty tonight, so after eating, not dying, and cleaning up the kitchen we wanted to go smelly quick just to get out of the base for a bit, but when we stuck our faces out the door to see how cold it is, the wind kinda put a damper on that plan. The sunset was however one of the prettiest ones yet, so a few of us decided rather than snuggling up under a blanket in front of a movie, we are going to go watch the sunset on the roof in our sleeping bags.

So take five to go grab our semi-mummy bags, gloves, beanies, buffs and cams and then meet under the trapdoor.

When we got up onto the roof it was a bit of a mission to get into the sleeping bags without the darn thing living out its lifelong dream of being a kite and flying off the roof with you half inside. After some struggling with the zippers (its seriously not easy getting the zipper up with gloves on, and without them your fingers kinda freeze off) we could eventually sit down and appreciate the scenery.


We just sat there looking like fat worms taking pics and enjoying the awesomeness of it all till the wind inevitably found its way into the sleeping bags too.


After a while of freezing (but being tough cause we are mos way too hardcore to admit that our toes and fingers are actually icicles), we decided that the few meters back to the hatch and the climb down the ladder will be done inside the seeping bags since its way too much hassle to get out in the wind.



So we wormed our way back inside the nice warm windless base and warmed ourselves up with some tea and choc cookies..


I love how I always have someone as nuts as me to share these crazy awesome moments with!!
