Makes 1960 Journal To take Fuzzy with it so I confirmed my activities vs watching penguins swimming along the shore + a stroll through the penguinry in which I picked up one shorn egg incubated for 37 days + the head of a mummified seal. In evening in desperation I cleared up my back log of food items I had under my desk, perhaps not the right sort of stuff to handle in my open act. Dec 28 Cape Hallett, Antarctica A complete round was made during the day. After heating my hand in the heating pad for an hour + having it re bandaged I went around the nests in the penguinry. After lunch the nests on the far side were visited. This took most of the afternoon. The hand was re heated + soaked in corning during the show + bandaged. Afterwards. I wrote notes until midnight when we had a supper. Afterwards someone proposed a movie and we went saw + saw "Lasseron" with C. Wilde + G. de Carlo Terrible! The day was warm + sunny + calm, a really beautiful day.
