Billy at work - into 2010 with ENEL

ENEL, the Italian Energy company had a EU Conference in the building where I work. This is how they decorated the conference room.

They brought in an over-night crew and built new soft walls right around inside the existing conference room, put in a massive Video screen and installed lights and effects that left your mouth gaping open in AWE.

What an experience. The seating as you can see was awesome, the atmosphere that was created was something out of this world, when I walked in this morning. WOW, I thought -"wrong building"

Just another day, Well, we had to keep the place cool, which was a battle, as the heat-build-up was way past the capacity of the air-con system. But yes OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED..

And who said a Maintenance Electricians life is boring ?????????????????????????????

Ria doing her thing

A cold winters night in the UK, snowing outside,,,,..... well in Scotland anyhow, freezing cold, windy and rain here in Surrey - Woking. Ria prepares a good warm supper for Billy after a hard days work in London. This is Ria in her element, she just loves her little English house, nice and compact, with her little kitchen, everything at arms reach. Ok, supper time Cheers, but click here to see the chef at work

Knitted Present from SA

Sarah, Ria's sister in SA, did some knitting for the new addition to the family and posted them to the UK. Leon was keen to try them on but had some difficulty. Smiles all around and the excitement is mounting day by day. Elizma just loves hand knitted baby stuff. Roll on 26th May

Me Again 3/3/2008.

Hey - its me again, yip had another photo-shoot today, got real close upto the camera, and put my nose against the lens. Not long to go now and then its PARTY time, round-about the 26th May.
My Mommy is suffering so I will stop putting things on the menu that makes her crave, she is clever otherwise she would have been a Daddy, her craving for Champagne is not good for me, but she knows this. Dad, Oupa & Ouma can have some when I am born and if Mom feels like it she can join them. But I watching you lot............
PS..... Don't tell Mom, but just when she sits down or goes for a lie-down, I do my daily exercises and get some "kicks" out of life in my cosy little house, I just have a good laugh when she tells Dad-- then I do it again, just for him. Ok, all of you out there in that big crazy world, see you all soon............. ME

Mothers Day in the UK

Mothers day, or should we say Ouma and Mother to be DAY, but I think it is more appropriate to say FAMILY DAY and a good reason to celebrate this was Mothers day, What a fantastic day it was, Ria as the centre of attraction, with her whole family around her just made the day. It was enhanced with the special effort made by Tania, she organised the whole thing at her Hotel- CROWN PLAZA, READING. Food was delicious. Leon and Elizma tried to trick Mom, and did not go the normal way we travel to Tania's house ( not far from the hotel) but go a small detour, normal takes 40minutes but instead their plan back-fired and it took just over an Hour & a half, with a traffic jam,,,,, never mind the day was a massive success.

The "organiser"
