Hi Mersey,yes couldn't stay away.

It's all lectures today. Retired Engineers group this morning for a thing on electrical generation. Very interesting and tonight it is one of the new professors from my old school soon have to show willing. Probably fall asleep and the blessed gown is heavy in this mild air. Never mind I had a lovely carvery lunch in Debenhams roast Turkey! Don't get that so often. :-D

Mersey you is the biggest nickum...said in
the best possible way ;-) :-)

Emms :-P :-P :-P :-P

My son in law comes from Dundee and his Dad is an oilindustry Engineer working in your lovely city Emma. I've been past (in a ship) but never actually visited although I have been to Dunedin in New Zealand which is meant to be a copy of Aberdeen

Posh lunch then Neil :-D ;-)

I didn't know that about Dunedin Neil very interesting.

My son works for himself in the oil industry and he is
back off to Nigeria tomorrow.

They have just come back to Aberdeen to live
They have been in Elgin for 4 years.

W-e-l-l i wouldn't say that but it tasted great and the company Gin, yourself etc was wonderful and much more fun than my old adversaries at the Uni. After my first lecture this morning I did a bit of footwork research round a fort where my old Godfather dad was based in1896. It's apart now and that man is very loosely related tome so I guess you COULD call it research!

My uncle,the one whose ninetieth birthday I attended on Monday, spent most of his working life in West Africa,first Nigeria then Ghana where he met and married his second wife. I've been to Nigeria once but surveyed for the oil industry in Orkney and Ghana in the late seventies

Not apart Mersey a park. This pad and my fat fingers go together like kippers and custard!!!

Quite a lot of New Zealand is verymodelled on Britain Emma. I went toChristchurch in the South Island which is exactly like Canterbury even down to the river and the Cathedral. Then the Southern Alps are just like Norway even got fjords, although Rotarua in the North with it's sulpherous hot mud pools is like nowhere else I have ever been.

I was lucky enough to be seconded to NZ for six months in the late eighties

My OH many years ago was an industrial Radiographer

I would be more settled if my son was out of Nigeria but
such is life, worry all the time he is away.

The industry has certainly changed over the decades.

Oh well all good things come to an end. I've gotta go and get gowned up. Have a lovely evening ladies

Byeeeeeee. :-)
