Visit from Emir of Qatar

Well, I'm already in to week 2 of my tenth visit to Qatar. This week we had a VIP visit from the Emir of Qatar (right picture), along with Honeywell HPS President Norm Gilsdorf and Uk's Prince Andrew, for the Shell Pearl GTL site Inauguration. Unfortunately, most people had to stay away from the control room area, and security was tight, due to the fact that a group had tried to kill the Emir, a few months ago (maybe related to his role against the Gaddafi regime). The incident left Qatari Emir injured. He was taken to the hospital with eight others who were wounded. Layed-in again today to catch up on some sleep, hopefully back to the gym next week. Now off to lunch, to the cash point after lunch and get a tin of cashews from the camp shop. See you later.

The picture on the left shows Viktor, saying goodbye. He is moving on to a new project. Victor, who is Hungarian, has been with us for over a year. Here's wishing Viktor good luck for the future.

Well today was time to get up early and get back to the gym for a couple of hours.
