Work has decided to send me to a new site to finish the installation of a new booster pumping station for Scottish Water, well GMJV is the main contractor who we are working for but the client is Scottish Water.
It is situated between Cambusbarry and Touch near Stirling as usual in the absolute middle of nowhere. The worst thing about these contracts is the scenery I have to put up with 
Yes I have finally got my new lens, about bloody time too!
Rushed over to the royal mail depot and picked it up on the way home from work, thought I better get there quick before they decide to wildcat strike over the colour of the vans or something equally stupid.
Anyway, I got a pleasant surprise when I opened the box. I thought it was just the AFS 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 GII ED like I had, before throwing the camera to the ground, but it is actually the VR version which brings my VR lens collection up to err… two. I don’t suppose it will make much difference as I rarely use VR on the other one (55-200) because it is sat on a tripod 99% of the time anyway lol
Well, work was a bit of a change today, after trailing 3/4 of the way across Scotland to Livingston I was told I was supposed to be at Hamilton, which is half way across Scotland in the direction of where I came from Grrrr. I was working on a Scotish water pumping station which is sited in the Asda car park or rather under it, it is like a 3 storey house but under the car park.
Well back to work today after spending a week off with some disgusting bug and a stinking cold as well.
I think I should have stayed at home, everything I do is soooo hard work, I am sweating like a sauna tester just picking a screwdriver up never mind anything else.
Anyway, I think there is a photo opportunity in the office, the new board room has a fancy ground glass wall with the company logo etched in which I think may look quite cool back lit. Must remember to bring the camera and a slack handful of flashes sometime.
Well, I suppose I better go back into the shop floor and do something - it’s quite clever this wordpress thingy I am writing this on my mobile phone in my lunch break lol – roll on 4pm that’s all I can say…
Later that day:
