This Little Piggy….

Geoff & NickCurrently I’m in Dubai visiting my eldest boy, Nick and the youngest member of the Jones clan little Isla and of cause Nicks wife Mia.

I seem to be getting on OK with Isla who can be quite tetchy, especially if strangers touch her!This little piggy...

Here I am playing This little piggy with her toes, quite a feat for an out of town visitor – I’m assured by her parents!  On Wednesday she is 3 so the terrible two’s should be left behind :-)

Since both of her parents are web designers, Isla is pretty unique in that she has her own blog (family viewing only) which has been regularly updated since she was -6months or so old. This is a great way for her extended family to keep in touch with her. Will be interesting to see when she does her first unaided post!

Nighttime constructionTonight Nick and I went out to The Budda bar – pretty impressive place where the nut bowls are continually replaced with full ones, although at 4 UKP for a Corona beer I guess they should be :-)

On the way back you can see all the construction sites working through the night. This is a pretty good shot of yet another skyscraper going up 24/7. To see all my Dubai images head over to flickr

Amazing Finger Painting apparently some of them can take 10 hours to do and then they are just washed off!.

Not sure who the guy is, if you do please let me know and I will give attribution (or take them down if requested).

All I can find out at the moment, is that some were shown at a body art show in South Africa and are used in advertisements for ushaka village walk in Durban SA

Last night I went to the celebrations of Cambridge Temperature Concepts winning 6000 pounds in the National Business Plan competition.

Shamus and team were in fine form especially since its looking that there first investment round will reach the 250,000+. Alas, without my cash as I missed the deadline, by partying, last night :-( and now I’m at the airport.

With the money they hope to get their DuoFertility product to market and profitability. If they as succesful as they are at winning business competitions and organising parties then the first round of investors stand to make some money!
