We are BACK!!! 

For how long… who knows….

For the last couple of weeks we have had severe water shortage (due to no rain), power cuts (due to the poor infrastructure), and lack of internet (due to no power!)…. All of this has made stuff very difficult, like UK work and talking to family, updating the blog etc

So, a recap…. The busiest full moon rush of the year was mental… Over 70 people starting their dive course each day… It was long days and nights for Jen and I…

One day, I got a few hours to finally go through with my bet that I lost during the Euro 2012 football.. I had made a bet with an instructor that England would go further than Germany… I lost…  The bet?? Well it was to have a full bikini wax…

We met at the massage place, and the woman was quite amused to hear what we wanted…

30 minutes of pure pain with 2 video camera, was not the most pleasant experience… and I was going to edit the video today… BUT… There is a twist in the tail…Cormac (the cameraman) made a bet with me last night… and lost!!!  Which means a return visit, but this time I will be the one filming, and he will be the one in the torture seat!

Besides, this slightly weird recent spate of betting… we have been diving, diving diving… and certifying a lot of people.

Some great news is that on a dive site 2 hours away… there are some Bull Sharks that have appeared.. These guys disappeared from another dive site about 3 years ago.. Everyone is very excited about seeing them…   Below is some  low resolution video shot by another instructor…

Short update for ya!!

Apart from the incredible busy month of August and non stop teaching… my laptop hard drive decided to die….

This is the 1st time in 5 days that I have managed to get it up and running….. a long road to rebuild it…  and hopefully blog posts will follow!

Last night was date night 😀  After Simons hectic day of confined session and academics, I met Simon at Crystal for a quick beer and then we shot off to Fizz, a beach side restaurant in Sairee.  It was so nice to get away from the normal crowd and just have some ‘alone’ time together.  We really need to do this at least once a week and stick to it.  The meal was lovely, I had fillet of fish with salad & honey and mustard potatoes and Simon had the pea risotto  …plus a few G&T’s   ..this morning I woke with a slight headache ;-D

Today with Si on the boat, I feel at a bit of a loose end.  I could potter around Crystal, cleaning up, tidying but don’t want to due to the fact that you don’t get any thanks and it’s taken for granted.  It’s rewarding for me but with some peoples ‘don’t care’ attitude, it drives me insane    …At this moment in time, I’m sat in the restaurant, just wasting time, waiting for my ECO student Tania to return with her father in order to say goodbye.    I think it would be very impolite of me not to. 
It’s hard to sit and not do anything.  Even the internet’s down,  and my battery is about to die  ..great!!!   All n all, it’s a beautiful day!!
