February Sun

dubai rig_0002

This would be me then, long long ago in place far far away… thinking the “Nedrill Trigon” jack-up rig offshore Dubai c. 1980. The hey-day of the oil biz, I could summon a ‘chopper’ parked on a nearby platform and pay a visit to some mates working on another rig not too far distant. Cool. That didn’t last.

Legend on the shirt (in felt-tip marker pen) is “Get Happy” … title of a 1980 LP by Elvis Costello (I would no longer have known this but for the wonder of Spotify 😉

Reckon the photo taken around February time of year, pleasantly warm ahead of Dubai’s scorching Summer.

Great knees – Eh!
