Little bit ratty tonight as I got my flu shot Friday & went x-c sking this afternoon, not sewing as planned as class cancelled...radio announcement given but in Inuktitut!

This is my living space, quite compact, with a fridge that seems to freeze everything and have to put drain board on the 2 burner stove top to do dishes, really do have everything else quite convenient.

Decided to walk back to work one day at noon and these are the shots around the health center. You can see how it blows and shapes the snows against the buildings….a very dry snow and not much for skiing but like this pattern in the ice I caught this afternoon.

Next Saturday I go to Rankin Inlet for January and then back to Arviat for 2 weeks before home.

Oh the other thing is that I saw a 3 month  female.-husky pup in the area here, spitting image of Dysis, and the family was going to give it to the by-law ( I don't need to tell you what happens to unwanted dogs in the north ) but has offered to keep and feed her until I return. So I am probably even nuts to think about a second dog… let alone a puppy. I would have to find an appropriate sized travel kennel...this means getting on the radio and finding one to buy and then fees to transport on Air Canada which is by wt now as cargo. ….maybe could come back via northern lines and Yellowknife.

So do you think this is a wacky idea....I know what my family says about just one dog with my travels.
