Well, today was Monday and all the Americans have returned to work after the long weekend - we just continue with our busy schedule! The batteries are now about 90% reconditioned - they only need one last full charge after integration into the satellite which is starting now. We're a bit worried about two individual cells at this stage that exhibit a slightly lower cell voltage than the others. It seems like a measurement problem and we're collaborating with our two power experts, Johann Uys and Frank Kubler, to solve the problem speedily.
We're also quite settled in at our apartment. Everybody, except Prof. Milne, so far had a chance to put his cooking skills to practice. Prof. has deliberately delayed his turn as it turns out that after about 20 years of marriage his culinary skills have become a bit rusty!

Outside it's pouring again - just like June in Stellenbosch. So tonight we will sit in our warm apartment, enjoying some Milne cuisine and struggling to find a good TV program to watch amongst a selection of only 70 different channels!
