My first day back at work today. 

I was down at Crystal around 7.50am due to start a Rescue course with one chap but manage to put him off until tomorrow as there’s someone else starting.  So rather than earning the minimal, I can at least boost my wages a little, seeing I missed out on the full moon madness.

This guy (Valentin) is going on to do his Reef Check, so after convincing him to start a day late, I took him for a one on one dive to Junk Yard, showing him all our coral transplants, structures and pointing out Algae, sponges, hard & soft corals.   So at least he has a little heads up.

He seems pretty switched on so I think Rescue will go pretty well.

As I don’t get paid for this morning or if I stayed in the office, wouldnt get paid for that either, I cycled home, stopping on the way to get some milk, rat poison and a rat trap as we have an unwelcome guest at the moment. 

I’ve set the trap and put down the poison, it’s only a matter of time.
