Hammers and spanners....

Back in work now and instead of the cerebral stuff I have been doing for the last few years, audits on GSM networks and like stuff, I am back on the nuts and bolts and hammers and spanners of installation. Good fun and no need to think too much. No real pressure as I am number three of a two man team plus a site supervisor. I have ended up in Qingdao, China. This seems to be a very modern city with many tower blocks and lots of new ones going up. It is the site of the olympic sailing reggatta of 2008 and they seem to still be building the venue.

Olypic flame.

A new stadium being built along with flats.

On the way here I had a few hours in London whilst getting my visa, for all you that have never been, or those who have but can't get back here as some pictures of the west end.

The new statue along the Mall to the dead queen mum.

Horse guards and the eye.
