Hello Little Men!

How are my Champs doing today ? I hope very , very fine 🙂

Well it is just passed 7 pm local time , I am still at the factory but I need a break as I have been knee deep in agreements and spreadsheets all day !

We had a good day here all and all , the lads are all still here as we have a client from Afghanistan here and as normal one of our suppliers turned up at 6 pm with a full truck of raw material that needs to be off loaded thus I think we will still be here a while…..

It feels like I still have a million things to try and finish before I leave here on Sunday , but hey such is life , pretty sure we will get it all over the line 🙂

I have still not started packing , guess that will know be left for Saturday night , lol , need something to do before my flight as there is no point in trying to sleep for 3 or 4 hours before I have to head to the airport , might have to have an extra crocodile energy drink 🙂 , I think I am use to them now not out of choice but due to the fact the the UK shops here still does not have red bull in stock. As they say when in Rome and all that ….lol

What I have noticed today that for some very strange reason I seem to be understanding a lot more Urdu than what I did even a week ago , or my my sixth sense and sign langue is just getting better 🙂 , my South African English accent is taking a beating , I don’t know why but as South African most of us speak , read and write more than one langue but when we are around people whom we believe do not understand us we speak louder and try to copy their accent , this of course makes as look like full and sound stupid but hey people understand us better and we are able to get our message across 🙂

I can’t believe this month now is 7 months since I have seen you both or been allowed to speak with you monkey , you must have grown so much by now , breaks my heart but what to do as they say !

I will defo see you muppets under our big old green tree in dreamland , looking forward to my little O dream cuddles and smiles …

Night , night Champs ….happy dreams of seeing you both maybe one day again …

Love and miss you both mega big lots….

Love you Little Men ….always ..

Good evening Little Men !

Hope my muppets are well and had a lovely Monday !

My day started out a bit upside down , I had a call early morning to inform me that one of our guys was in a motorcycle accident late last night and was in hospital and badly hurt , turns out as normal here he was not wearing a helmet and thus had a head injury.

I just put the phone down after taking that call to be informed the political guy that was returning today to Islamabad to start some protests against the government , his flight was diverted to Lahore and once the Emirates flight landed he would not get off the aircraft if the army was not willing to guarantee his safety , so this meant that both City’s went into lock down , one of our guys was stuck overnight trying to enter Islamabad for some meetings but had to turn back after sitting on the motorway for hours as the police blocked the road into the City with shipping containers !

So we had to find an alternative route to my hotel as the tension in the City is a little high still with loads of roads being blocked by people and the police , I guess we will have to see what will happen overnight , I hope things stay calm as I need to try and see the week out here to finish up 🙂

It was so much cooler here today and we had a little rain en route back into town also , so perhaps the heat wave has now been broken. Good news in my book ! Lol

Before I forget , I got a notification of a new follower on your blog whom I thought I recognise the name , and yes it was a friend from Dubai and she has also now started to blog , I must say her writing is so much better than mine , she has loads of talent and I guess puts a lot of thought into what she writes , were I just write what I think but as my target audience is only 3 years old 🙂 , I guess that’s ok for know – as I said to her today – love your work- 🙂

Still no news from the Court also champs , tomorrow is 1 month now since the matter had been passed to HHJ Jeremy Rawkins , DFJ for Lancashire , not sure how much longer it will take before we get directions from him but wait is all it seems we can do for now !

I really hope you muppets had a good start to your week , only 4 days to go until the weekend 🙂 wahoo hoo!

Well Champs , I need to go get a bite to eat , so I shall see you both as normal a little later under our big old green tree in dreamland ….packing you both some extra nice Summer cool dream cuddles and smiles ….

Night , night Little Men …..happy dreams of big fun and exciting things …

Love you both truck loads full and miss you big trailers full more ……

Love you Champs ….always ….

Good Evening Little Men!

Hope my Champs are doing very,very well and that you both had a nice safe fun Sunday 🙂

I did not have the most exciting day , had some work stuff and Skype calls in the morning and then I have been out shopping to go look for a phone , they don’t seem to have the new Blackberry here so I will have to look next week in Dubai , I saw the smart phones they do here with the 2 SIM cards but I must admit I did not like the touch screen on them , so alas we shall struggle on for a week more it seems before I will be able to resolve the phone issues.

It had also been a little cooler here today so it seems the storm last night might have done the trick 🙂 , let’s hope it’s a bit mild tomorrow also.

I think I need to start packing tomorrow night also as I am not going to laundry my shirts here again as all my white shirts come back grey every time , so I have a mountain of shirts in the cupboard from the past month just folded after I took them off …sure the ironing lady back home is going to think she won the jack pot when I drop this lot off for pressing.

I think after the past 2 months on the road I might take 2 weeks at home again , it just feels like I have been gone for ages and have not seen anyone thus I need a bit of a break I think , but I guess I will have to see if all goes to plan.

Ouma has been able to get me an appointment at the dentist also as I have not been since I left the UK , you muppets never showed up for your last appointment in Horam in June last year so I really hope they have taken you since as I was always taught you go every six months for a clean and a polish 🙂 makes the choppers nice and healthy and keeps them bright white.

I see the M25 blockade is still going ahead in last week of July and some of the lads have messaged me to see if I can join , so I will have to see , it’s maybe a good idea , I have a great idea for a banner with your photo and other people details to use as a cover for a car , just need to see if I can get it made in time and what my work load is like but I am sure I should be able to squeeze in a day to help the protest in London , the flights might be a little tough for one day , but what to do as they say 🙂

Feels like I am rambling , apologies muppets 🙂 , just want to wish you both a safe , happy fun week full of plenty of learning and loads of giggles and lots of sunshine for some outside playtime with B&B

Ouma emailed me this for you both below ;

Her and Oupa send all their love and big warm African winter cyber cuddles for you both…..

Well then muppets , as always I will see you two a little later under our big old green tree in dreamland , can’t wait for my dream bear cuddles and smiles 🙂

Night , night Little Men , happy dreams of being silly as that’s ok and as it should be ….

Love you both to the moon and back and miss you a billion times more …

Love you Champs ….always …

Hello Little Men !

Hope my muppets are oki doki today and that you both had a nice Saturday:-)

I am just back at the hotel , I have had no food the past 2 days due to not feeling great so when the guys dropped me tonight I went for a Cinnabon and large mocha , yes , yes I know not the best way to start eating again after a couple of days of food poisoning , lol , but hey it’s what I felt like and as you both know I like living on the wild side , lol

We had a good day at the factory , but we did again have a 3 hour power cut , I am told we are in the midst of the worse heat wave they have had in over 10 years , thus it’s not me getting menopause , lol , it is HOT ! , least we had a little rain on the way back to the City tonight and it looks like a heavy storm that is coming , so perhaps that will break the heat or if nothing else settle the dust a little , only sad thing is we got two trucks of sand tonight that is still outside drying which now will be as wet as when it came from the river bed , at least we have built a good stock level the past week so hope it will not effect us that much…..

I think it is off to bed early tonight as I slept really poorly last couple of nights again , more than normal and I can feel it tonight , so let’s hope I get plenty of zzzzzzzzzz’s tonight 🙂

Well champs whatever you have planned for Sunday , I hope it’s fun safe and what you like doing 🙂

Can’t wait to see you both a little later under our big old green tree in dreamland , I think I will be first tonight …. Will keep you both a nice spot in the shade 🙂 , looking forward to my double O dream cuddles and smiles …

Night , night monkeys ….sweet safe dreams ….

Love you both thhhhhhiiiiiiissssss much and miss you sooooooo much more that tttttthhhhhiiiiiisssssss 🙂

Love you Little Men …..always ….
