Is it me you're looking for?
The phone rang. He searched everywhere for it. His excuses of old age were wearing thin; his wife’s patience had worn even thinner long ago. He found it in his raincoat pocket. They laughed together at his joke. ‘Saving it for a rainy day.’ He had missed the call from his son in New Zealand. He wouldn’t ring back, not all that way. It must be expensive, it’s the other side of the World, isn’t it?

Navigating the Desert Terrain: Why Self-Loading Concrete Mixers are Essential for Saudi Arabia's Construction Boom
The scale and ambition of Saudi Arabia's current construction boom, propelled by Vision 2030, is unparalleled. From the futuristic urban landscapes of NEOM to the expansive tourism developments along the Red Sea, projects are rising not only in established cities but also in some of the most remote and logistically challenging desert terrains on earth. In these environments, traditional construction methodologies—reliant on long-distance delivery of ready-mix concrete—are not just inefficient; they are often impossible. This is where the self loading concrete mixture transitions from a convenient piece of equipment to an indispensable strategic asset. Its integrated design, combining a loader, batcher, mixer, and sometimes a pump, provides a singular solution to the multifaceted challenges of building in the Saudi desert, ensuring progress continues irrespective of the distance from urban centers or the harshness of the environment.

It was always the same temperature, the same light, the same chair legs scraping the floor in exactly the same irritating way. The clock didn’t tick. I’d bought it on purpose after one client told me ticking made their thoughts speed up until they couldn’t catch any of them. People think therapists like silence. We don’t. We like predictability.

Bless em all. Content Warning.
Nancy pulls the blind tight against the sunlight. In this side room, the ward’s buzzers and beeps are muffled, distant. The fluorescent light flickers, highlighting white stubble on Rod's face, as he lies against the pillows. Ken stares as the taped cannula metronomically drips colourless liquid. Wife and son sit sentry at his deathbed as the monitor counts out his heart’s closing rhythm. Nancy’s tears slip down her face as she holds his thin, liver-spotted hand. Ken, face harrowed by helplessness, plucks at the bedsheet.
