I am safe and well

Hello everyone. I am alive and well and still here in Libya. We are relatively safe for the moment. There hasn't been internet for over a month. I will update my blog with all the news of the past month as soon as I am able. Thanks to all of you who have posted comments and emailed. I will get back to blogging as soon as I can.

Please continue your prayers for us here in Libya.

While I take this break from work I am busy setting up a packing up and shipping service to help ex-pats who have had to leave all their belongings behind. If you are an ex-pat interested in getting your stuff back let me know by clicking on the contact tab above and sending me an email.

I'll update as soon as I can.

    Good to know about you, we are all praying for things finish soon in Libya, and in the best way possible.

    Please take care, and all people out of Libya, is praying for all of you.

    I'm so pleased to see you're well and I think you are pretty bloody amazing for doing the whole pack and ship thing for others. I know many people have left their lives behind.

    I'm glad your alive! When I couldn't contact my family, I checked your blog to see how you were doing to reassure me about the situation. I have to admit, I was a little frightened when you hadn't posted for so long.

    You and your family are in my prayers.

    Hi. I hope that you and your family are in good health. I am a Malaysian and have followed your blog since 2008. My work in hospital construction has brought me to Tripoli and Darnah to be exact, in the period 2008-2009 and have only fond memories of the country and its wonderful people. It is indeed sad to watch the country being thrown in turmoil and countless life lost but i sincerely hope and pray that everything will return to normal soon for the benefit of its people. Take care.

    Are you ok? I'm surprised that no one else has commented - or maybe the comments aren't getting through because you don't have a way to approve them? Hope you and your family are safe and well.
