robl12 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Quiet night at night last night have been sampling crude oil and a few other jobs have got wireline work going on at the moment as they try and find more oil from the reservoir and the existing wells they use explosives to make holes in the tubing deep inside the well bore. Apart from that had a video on Piper Alpha to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Been 'chilling' today. Started last night when I had to go to the coach station in Exeter to pick up my Sister-in-laws 70 year old freind who has come to stay for Christmasfrom Russia. The coach was supposed to come in from Heathrow at 9.05pm but due to the chaos caused by snow at Reading it didn't come in till 05.10am this morning so by the time I got in the door it was just after 05.30.

BC Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Had a walk down to the shop for a newspaper and milk. All the pavements have been cleared by Aberdeenshire Council with a Kubuto and sander. In addition all the streets in the estate have been cleared by the local farmer with his JCB Fastrac. I bet the roads and pavements are better looked after in Drumoak than they are in Aberdeen city. I heard water running in the drains so here is hoping the temperatures are on the up and will start melting the lying snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Just back from Costco at Westhill getting some of the last food stuffs. It was mobbed and I had a few trolley rage moments. Got a half sirloin, Loch Fyne smoked salmon, carrot cake and single cream. That's my contribution to Xmas and my mother will be dealing with the other stuff.

I shall be preparing my turkey tomorrow ready to bung it in the AGA around 8.00 Cristmas morning, stuff the crop-end with a pound of sausage meat and a pound of sage & onion stuffing to keep it moist and that extra bit of flavour and a bit more to carve. Only having a small turkey this year, 22lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
