Work.
I’m currently sitting in a minibus near an industrial port in the middle east, waiting for the crewboat to arrive. It’s taking me on a 10 hour ride for me to board a ship pretty much in the middle of the Persian gulf. I will most likely be on board tomorrow and finish up what I’m doing the same day.
Then it’s a short transfer to another ship nearby where the same job awaits.
If timing works out I will head back to shore on Sunday, arriving very early Monday. Then it’s a few days of chill before my return flight on Thursday.Damn, how’s the pay for a job with those travel requirements?
Pretty decent. Similar to other offshore roles with specialization.
Nice. I used to work in the oilfield in West Texas. Pay was good, I had offshore opportunities for even better pay but I decided against it. Oil industry was not great to work in, in my position anyway.
Family coming over for lunch and I’m doing a (variation on) porcetta. I’ve got a lovely piece of pork belly which has been airdrying in the fridge since yesterday morning. Should be cracking crackling. If the weather holds I’ll do it on the rotisserie on my Kamado Joe.
If you like a barbecue (or a barbie, bbq, or braai) come and join us at Cooking With Fire. We need more regular posters!
Recovering from COVID!
Second time getting it, and it’s been so much worse than the first. Hopefully my partner and/or I test negative soon… we really need stuff from the store and haven’t left the house in more than a week!
Friend of a friend’s basement flooded so friend and I are gonna go help demo and see how far we get on putting it back together. Sunday will be for soccer and gaming and general lethargy
On my way back home from a climate protest. Defo some cooking later, working on translations for a project over the weekend. Probably some gaming, too.
Mothman Festival!
The dealership where I bought my car is having an unveiling event for a new 2025 model with free food and giveaways. I’m going just for the free lunch and maybe win some stuff. lol
Family gathering, shirt buying, washing machine hose replacement and clean, cooking, and maybe fix a bit of jewellery. Gym on Sunday.
movie movie marathon, cooking egg soboro variations, maybe a date.
Feel free to post about your movie marathon on [email protected] !
Abergavenny Food Festival tomorrow. Never been despite living near it for 8 years
Hope I find some nice food and drink
Setup new laptop
Soccer, birthday party, the inexorable grind that is cleaning 😹
Supposed to go visit some lithium springs this morning as soon as I get my poop in a group.
I might play some Satisfactory. I might just be burned out on it though.
Got some projects to work on in the wood shed. Might get on that.
I’m going to be modding Skyrim tomorrow
