port by mistake......

I like to dream
Yes, yes right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sight I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here
Well you don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well you don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
So I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle was all I found
The middle verse is what goes through my head....the 70's had good music....very trippy stuff at the time...

Charcoal is not in the country at the moment but just loaded onto a ship in Europe today heading our way.....it should be here in two weeks time if
the pirates don't hijack the ship.... the container doesn't slip into the ocean in rough seas...or the container gets left sitting on a dock in
Singapore
Hi Jenz.....I just wanted to let you know that I work in international freight, and if the goods were loaded onto the ship on Friday the 15th there is
no way in the world that they will be here in two weeks, and it will have nothing to do with pirates. The transit time from Europe (any major port in
Europe) will vary between 30 days and 48 days, and this can depend on a number of different things, the most important being the service used. You
mention that the cargo is going to be transhipped in Singapore, this will add a significant amount of time to the transit, as Singapore is one of the
largest freight hubs in the world and the numbers of containers moving through there are staggering. At the moment the international shipping
industry is in the middle of what we call Peak Season, meaning that everyone wants everything now, causing a backlog of containers in places such as
Singapore.
I currently have a container moving from Germany to Australia, and at the moment it's in Singapore, has been for a week and a half and won't be
moving out until the middle of this week at the earliest. Also the tranist time from Singapore is between 12 - 15 days depending on the shipping line
used. So two weeks is a myth. I'd be aiming for the end of November.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this is my job, and if they are telling you that it's departed 15th, you won't see it for at least 5 weeks.
Jules

Jen....been reading your post with avid interest. Bel is going to be a pearler. You must be a very patient person that's for sure! Don't let the
carpet get you down - keep looking at that long term goal of that first drive. She looks a treat!

Dropped in to take pics of Bel with her rag-top and headlining in but not to be.....
They are getting all the mechanical bits looking shmick for her....the end pieces for the roof had a lot of thick glue and thick vinyl stuck to them
from several times of fixing up over the years...they have cleaned them up and will take to be sandblasted ....they are also putting flat black paint
on the bits they need to.....
The carpet arrives the end of next week...the way it's all going they should be ready to move straight into the carpwet when they get it... 
The pieces on the table are for the rag-top...Dean laid them out for the pic...Tracy is not working on the rap-top.....they are busy with lot's of
other jobs..so ignore the girl as far as work on Bel

I got Vern back yesterday after being without him for a full week while he was getting an interior resto !
I am very very impressed
Seats front and back have been repadded and covered in cool looking black fabric with a grey fleck through it
New hood lining kinda grey felt stuff.
He is the most attractive car in the garage at the moment.
Have taken before and after piccies but can't get them outa the camera ! Will work on that |
