An unusual Notice!
For a few days I was racking my brain to work out why it would be required (not wanting to look foolish by asking) but eventually my curiosity won out and I had to ask one of the people that I was working with.
The company that I was working with supplied high quality ingots where the metal was being used to make blades for aircraft engines and they were advised by one of their customers that they needed to enforce this. I then asked why this would be a requirement and was told that there was an accident investigation that concluded that a single ball from a ball point pen was included in the blade and that caused the blade to fracture causing the accident.
3 things are certain in life….
- Death (a little dark I know)
- Taxes
- You have never seen it all
That’s it for now

What’s in a name?
That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet. A well known quote from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

Ouro Preto
Richard has entertained us with his tales of his journey through Spain and Portugal so I am going to try and compete and tell of my latest excursion into the hills of Minas Gerais, Brazil, specifically a town called Our Preto (Black Gold).
