Good evening Little Men!

Hope my muppets are doing well and having a great Saturday !

I have had a busy day , was at the factory early this morning and ended up having to rework the sand processing workflow as it was not giving me the output I wanted here , so a bag full of nails , 2 jumbo sand bags and a pile of bricks later we know have doubled the sand processing speed 🙂 long story , will have to do you a hand sketch one day …lol

Then I set off into the old part of the city for a meeting , we ended up parking near the Old Fort thinking we could cut across to the site we had the meeting at, but no , the fort was shut , major traffic jams in the market area so we ended up walking about a mile around the fort amongst a sea of people , motorcycles , cars and donkeys …don’t ask re the donkeys …lol … Still a preferred choice of transport in the city for some vendors ….thus by the time we got to our meeting I had a semi broken shoulder from my laptop bag , my shoes looked grey instead of black and I had sweat dripping into my socks …lol , a great look for meeting a new client I know 🙂

So after our meeting I put my foot down and refused to walk back the way we came so we ended up Spider-man climbing a huge road- block barrier which halved the stroll back to the car , I do think the locals have not seen many foreigners do this stunt in full work kit …but it had to be done …lol

Went out for dinner so just back at the hotel and I must say am seriously looking forward to a shower and my bed after the mission hence forth to be known as ‘ project – no way am I walking back ‘ lol , I think the guys here find it funny that as South Africans we are not so keen on the walking thing …

Tomorrow thus will have to be used to catch up on my admin stuff which I never got round to doing , on the plus side , I have just seen in the mirror in the elevator I got a great face tan and now look like an English tourist that has been in a Dubai for 1 day 🙂

I hope you muppets are having a good weekend , you must be so excited for the big 03 that is just around the corner now , I wonder what you have on your , as I know you both, very extensive wish list ? Would have loved to get you all the things you wanted but that seems impossible this year due to the doing of your hostage keepers ….. Thus it will have to be ‘ I owe you’s ‘ again like your Christmas gifts , maybe one day you will be able to in-cash all these for something very cool , who knows …..

Well Champs as I feel my fingers sticking to the iPad screen from sweat and curry mixed I best head off for a shower but just wanted to say , I can’t wait to see you both a little later under our big old green tree in dreamland , packing you nice spicy curry dream cuddles and smiled …..

Night , night muppets , sweet dreams of mango lassies on ice one day ….

Love you both around the old fort here and back many times and miss you the short cut back to the car a billion times more …..

Love you Little Men ….always …
