The Power of Three

Think of three animals.


Now think of what you like about them.


For this exercise I responded thus:

A cat, because I like their independence.

A capabora (which I've spelt completely wrong and is a species of giant, semiaquatic, South American guinea pig), because it's weird.

A dolphin, because dolphins are joyful and exuberant.











The first animal is what you think of yourself.

The second is what others think of you.

And the third is who you are truely.



This was yet another silly game we were playing at work. I was quite pleased with the outcome though.


The game playing has sadly come to end. There are now only seven people, including myself, left in the whole building, whereas a few short weeks ago there were over two hundred. And tomorrow is my last day.

Next week I fly to Doha, Qatar and start working twelve hours a day, six days a week for the next eleven weeks.

It's going to be gruelling. It's going to be an adventure. And it's going to be great!

But wait there's more!

Last week my application for an Ancestry Visa to the UK was approved.

So after Qatar I'm moving to London. Maybe with a little stop in Paris.

You know, even after a frantic weekend yum cha-ing with friends, dining with other friends, shopping for travel acessories, returning travel acessories, and trying to find clothes that work in both 50 degree heat and freezing temperatures, I still cannot believe I'm going.


So as we've taken to saying at work when yet another chum departs for the Middle East - see you in the desert!
