Out of Africa

English version after the pictures

Nigel var på tjenestereise i Sør Afrika og Ghana i forrige uke - dermed er det to uker siden siste inlegg. I tillegg til å rekruttere mange gode folk til fabrikken, fikk han tid til noen timer på safari i Kruger Nasjonalpark - et enormt areal med alle mulige ville dyr - noen avbildet her. Klikk på de enkelte bildene for å se større versjoner.

Livet i Doha går nå mot våren - vi har sluttet å bruke varme i huset for et par uker siden, og det er vel nummeret før air-condition tas i bruk. Vi har hatt den første "tropenatt" og sett 30C på termometeret.

A deer like animal whose name I forget - the female has very big ears.

Nigel was away all last week travelling in south Africa and Ghana - recruiting people to work in the factory. It was a most enjoyable trip. In addition to interviewing lots of great potential employees, we had time for an early morning trip into the Kruger National Park - a huge area of South Africa which is a nature reserve. Here there are all sorts of animals living in the wild - a few of which are photographed here (larger pics appear if you click on each picture).

Life in Doha is progressing nicely towards spring. We haven't needed any heating on in the house for the last couple of weeks and we have seen the first daytime maximum over 30C. It won't be long before we need to run the air condition now!
