an easy way for friends and family to keep up with life on the dark continent or wherever we end up...

Back up and running...

Apologies to everyone it's been over A YEAR since I updated this thing and there's been plenty happening in the mean time...

so a belated MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY BIRTHDAY etc to everyone!!!!!!!!

I've literally just put a whole YEAR's stuff up but I think only the latest blogs show on the screen to start with, so if you go over <== there on the left side, there's an archive where you can find all the old ones. There's a few at the start of 08 in Nigeria, Zanzibar in May 08, then our move the US, Canada in Sept 08, Cuba in Jan 09 and Guatemala and Mexico in Easter 09, enjoy...

Don't tell mum I work on the rigs...

Reading this blog, one might get the impression that life is one big holiday over here. It's taken a while, but I've got off my bum finally and got a few pics of the real reason we're over here - work... Not quite the kind of tall tales the Paul Carter sprouts in his book "Don't tell mom I work on the rigs, she thinks I'm a piano player..." (haven't read it all, but some of it's quite funny)

Anyway, these were taken by George back in August during a stint out on a rig for one of her jobs



you can see quite a lot of cool stuff from out on the rigs and platforms, like sunrise over Mt Cameroon
or whales!! (seriously, they really are as big as busses)
