Now there's no need to apologise, we quite understand our colonists get homesick at times, Rob is here for help and guidance. Glad to see you have an igloo, I was reading about the housing crisis in Vancouver, seems a great solution (but temporary) enjoy your winter. You must be dreading the spring?, that first drop of water on your nose in the middle of a dream knifing Sharpe, a cold awakening to reality. No way the igloo would survive, and of course no way would you knife Sharpe, dreams can be cruel.
Sled dogs are great aren't they, a ready source of protein waiting for those Moose and a great use for your redundant seal clubs. I must say that is a new and novel entertainment to us Brits taking seals, most of our youth go clubbing with little on and a stash of ecstasy by all accounts, do the seals clap?
Sorry about your subsistence diet, look out for the parcel of beer warmers and real bacon, we'll send a gunboat if you're in trouble, for Gods sake don't start speaking French.
