friday.

night.

packing to go to sxsw.com/. so very excited.

rained like a beeyotch in nyc all night.

I'm having trouble deciding, as usual! Basically we have 3 days and 4 nights there, plus 2 days of travel. Do I really need FIVE tee shirts? Oh, and I didn't draw my sketch kit, but that is going in my carry-on.

Así es como viajan las diademas de tiko tikoi en esta cajita bien reguardaditas a su lugar de destino, cajitas de colores alegres en el que puedes seguir guardando tu diadema !

CEA were employed to pack and lash 77 units of Mud Skips, Cargo Baskets and Gas Racks into 14, 40ft HC containers, the cargo received was too wide to fit in to the containers in the conventional way and would have to be turned on its side. CEA would ready the containers for load out and transport them to port where the cargo would be shipped to Nigeria to be used in the offshore Oil & Gas sector.

PROCEDURE

Two wooden beams were placed on the floor in each of the containers, the cargo, on its side would be placed on these to ensure no damage occurred to the panels during loading, transportation and unloading. Lifting slings that would be used upon arrival in Nigeria were attached to each piece of cargo before packing.

A CEA reach stacker lifted each of the containers and placed them on to their sides upon wooden blocks. CEA fabricated specialised roller units to facilitate the loading, two units were placed underneath the front section to support the cargo while being loaded by forklift from the rear.

Mantiou 3.5 t forklift’s and 5 t pallet trucks loaded the cargo into the containers, both fork lifts and pallet trucks were covered with protective materials to prevent any damage to the cargo.

After all Mud Skips, Cargo Baskets and Gas Racks were loaded the CEA team lashed and secured them in place. Wooden chocks and stoppers were installed to further ensure no movement while transportation and shipping.

All necessary supporting documents were provided inside each container. A third party inspection team checked all loaded cargo and sealed the containers with the appropriate shipping tags. The containers were loaded on to flatbed trailers and transported to port to await shipping.

Packing Insense sticks in the Mekon Delta of Vietnam.

The hand rolled insense is left in the sun to dry before heading to market.

The removal van is coming for us on Monday 29 June, and we're well ahead of schedule with the packing. By Sunday night this wall will be solid with boxes, the table dismantled and the pictures all bubblewrapped. Sad to leave in a sense, but London calls!

My old packing / drag mat and a wristband altimeter preserved as keepsakes by my son.

An up close view of a bee at work on a thistle flower, gathering pollen and packing it into a pollen basket on it's hind legs.

Those orange lumps are pollen that's been gathered from hundreds or perhaps thousands of flowers. Back at the hive, the pollen is mixed with either honey or nectar and turned into food for the bee colony at the hive.

Nature is fascinating.

Ah. I think I love packing it up and getting my house 'back' just as much as i liked getting it all out and festive six weeks ago.

Day 240/366 - I'm leaving on a jet plane to beautiful Kelowna. Bathing suit - check, board shorts - check, you get my drift.
