Just arrived bcack on board where we are being bounced about in shit weather conditions off the coast of Vietnam, about 200 miles south south east of Vung Tao.
It is like trying to fall asleep in caravan being towed across a ploughed field with evey few minutes someone throwing a brick at the side of the caravan. The seas are only abpout 4 to 6 meters with 28 knots of wind however it is uncomfortable and slightly annoying, but it wont last for ever as we only have about another week of it and we will be off to the Thai side of the Gulf of Thailand to start our next job where we expect much nicer weather. Cant even get up on the Heli deck for a walk as with the motion and the wind it is just a non starter. likewise using the treadmill in the gym is a no go due to the motion. (well thats my excuse for the week and I am sticking to it.
Had a fantastic leave starting with Mrs b joining me for a week in Singapore (with a two day jaunt up to Bankok) which also included a two night stay in the magnificent Marina Bay Sands Hotel Singapore.
What a gaff that is and the infinity pool is quite spectacular. I will post some pics later.
\Once back home we got stuck into the insulation of the roof and also the newly made windows for the front of the house arrived and were fitted along with the new kitchen door.
We even managed to get the balconies up and it has transformed the front.
It was massive wrench leaving this time with Mrs B ensconced in the sheds with the daffs out in full bloom and the number of birds increasing each day.
I will write more of the whole leave a little later and will update the building blog accordingly with pictures. We also have a new addition to the family which we are both thrilled about (possibly me more than MrsB) and will post a pic of that event as well.
Cheers
Bentley
