I seem to remember they found Scott's notes, as well as documentation, including photos (plates?) of them at Amundsen's abandoned tent when they found the bodies but can't find a source just now.
That's amazing! I'm sure there's loads of family stories?! Fun fact, I work at an archive and recently researched Amundsen's North Pole expedition and the flying boat he used, very impressive story despite them failing to reach the pole!
Amundsen, the one that succeded in the race to the South Pole lived by a great motto: You only need good luck if you didn't plan properly. He was a true adventurer with a sharp mind, shame he disappeared on a rescue mission.
I'm always so sad seeing the Scott expedition photos knowing that these guys in this image were doomed. THe British crew would have felt so horrible spotting the Norwegian flag at the South Pole, after what they went through. I've read the accounts and went through these beautiful images, it's so harrowing to know their fate.
I forgot how much a work out can do to help with my mood. I have been a lot more sensitive to sounds and triggers this last week, and I've been feeling so much better today, after going to the gym. How's everyone else approaching this, any tips for motivating myself to go to the gym when the weather sucks and you just want to stay at home?
Thankfully, I find some of these not fitting as much, like I was lucky enough to fall into jobs where talking and moving around were interpreted as motivation and enthusiasm. The hobbys though, I feel that... Learned to not invest a ton and get used supplies to minimise costs.
Also a good rule, must be something I can use after crafting it. No (ok, fewer) trinkets to remind me that I abandoned another.hobby, but rather "Hey I made that and its so useful still!"
Mission Clop secret broke me haha
Yup and they gave a large archive too! Other recommendations: Nothing much happens, and Boring books for bedtime.
Okay, story time? Have you ever read lips to a conversation and learned some juicy gossip?!
I always say "Oh now I can only remember that word in German" to cover for the fact that I simply don't remember the English word.
This is such a simple statment but for me, it makes all the difference! It's a compounding effect too, so in the evening, I still have enough reserves and I'm not on edge or dead tired from fighting my brain all day.
Imagine my displeasure at having to shower without a shower curtain for 2 years. Never bothered to put one up bc I didn't think I'd live in this apartment for this long... I hate every minute of showering in the winter.
(Also, it's not an ADHD thing in my case, the bathroom is a weird shape that doesn't allow for a simple rod and curtain, I'd have to get a semi custom glass wall installed)
