curiouswombatI have been doing the sort of things you do with a few days off work - like airing daughter-dear's tent before we pack it away for the winter. After being used for 6 days at the Leeds Music Festival it smells heavily of barbequed bacon! In fact the whole garden smells of it at the moment. So, anyway, I put both the fly-sheet and the ground-sheet/inner tent on the clothes line, but the breeze flipped the ground sheet off again before I had put enough pegs in.
By the time I turned around to rehang it - well look under the cut and see where I spotted the cat!
Here is the fly-sheet - and yes, it is flowery!
And here is the cat, weighing down the ground-sheet within 30 seconds of it landing on the ground!
The Red Panda - we have a baby orphaned red panda at our wildlife park - and if you click here you can see a video of her with her keeper - not embedded as it isn't You-tube!
Big Ships? My daughter gave me her full permission to share the following press release with you, in fact she suggested that you might be interested to know that
Döhle (IOM) Ltd has signed a 1.36 billion (USD) contract with Samsung Heavy Industries in Korea – the largest of its kind in the company’s history.
It allows for the construction of four 12,600 TEU container vessels with an option to build another four.
A subsidiary of Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG, Hamburg, the contract signing ceremony took place in the Boardroom of Fort Anne, the premises of Döhle (IOM) Ltd in Douglas.
The delivery of the 366 meter long Megacarriers will be in 2011.
Why should she want to share this with you - well not only did she help do all the copies of the contracts, but she was a witness to some of the signatures - so as the office junior temp her name will be there on $1.36 billion worth of contracts for the life-time of the mega-carriers! This pleases her greatly!

How cool for your daughter - her name going down in history in a way!

Cute. And the baby panda is adorable. My daughters both want her!
And I'm impressed about the big boat. Good for K!

K was so taken with the idea of being so involved with such a big contract. The staff at Dohle regard her as trustworthy, even though only a vacation employee, and she is quite happy to spend a morning doing copies of contracts, making sure every page is there in every copy, and so on - but actually witnessing some of it gave her a real buzz!

She finds all the legal side of the shipping industry fascinating, and is now wondering about corporate law as a future career.

The thought of my name being associated with a billion dollar contract gives me shivers! I nearly passed out when we signed our mortgage loan!
