Moving the 38 tonne pipe handling frame for the lads 70m below the surface so they can lift the 44 inch spool (pipe) and connect it. Chevron's Wheatstone project.
I don't actually get to see what's happening, just follow orders and watch my weight and direction indicators.
Saturation divers stay in sat for their entire swing (28 days) including 3-4 days decompression. Breathing 98% helium and 2% oxygen they all sound like Donald Duck.

28 days on 98% helium.. Wow.

Assume that job pays well but must have some long term issues

Surprised to see this bird in the backyard while still light yesterday (tawny frogmouth I believe). They have been around previously but well camouflaged & not out in the open

Many years ago (i.e. in the 50s) we had a 'pet' tawny frogmouth, named unsurprisingly Tawny. Not sure how we came to have him, think he may have been abandoned. He used to ride around on my brother's shoulder. I have a very large soft spot for this species.

Ah China - smoggy one minute - smoggier the next!

Bit of difference between the 'Struglers' like me and the 'Silver Tails' like Uppy huh?

Well I will finally get to swap the view (and sounds) of a building site [next to my office for the past 6 months] to a quiet suburban street (and small row of offices and shops) on Monday (see photo below). Damn, I am soooo looking forward to a 10 minute commute rather than 45 mins each way.

Yes, I am aware it's not a finished fit out yet, but you get the idea.
