The last couple of days have been pretty slow.  It’s supposed to be Full Moon rush but for some reason Crystal has been pretty quiet so neither Simon or I have had work apart from a 3 person DSD (Discover Scuba Diving) which where one of the girls couldn’t descend  ..very frustrating but there was a language barrier.

Easter eve we went to Carsten & Tina’s for dinner.  Tina had cooked two delicious casseroles, of which one was veggie.   Boy, they were both good.  All I’d eaten I think that day was a banana, so I was ravenous 😀

A few hours of chatting and numerous drinks, we were persuaded, as it seemed like a good idea to go to ‘Fish Bowl’ beach bar, where we ordered tonics and then sat on rocks, sneakily pouring our own vodka into them   ..cheeky I know but what the hell 😀   It was a great night and funnily enough bumped into a crowd from Crystal  ..which were amazed to see us both out on the dance floor.
The next day we both woke with horendous hangovers and spent the day watching tv and just chilling on the coach drinking copious amounts of water and feeling like poo   …urgh, I didnt realise we’d drunk that much ..when do we ever learn  ;-D

Feeling better and knowing that it was the start of the MotorGP in Qatar  …Simon ventured out around 10pm to ‘Vibe’ to watch the race.  I really couldnt be bothered, bed seemed so appealing.

After a good nights sleep we were in much better condition.   Si was busy with Uk work and I made breakfast (egg & beans on toast)  ..around 1pm, Nath & family came over to watch the Aussie rules game (Hawks/Geelong)  ..It was a great game but the Hawks, lost by a couple of points  ..Nath and Kailash were gutted.

Once we had a free house, we headed out ourselves to Crystal to update a couple of notice boards and then went to the Regal pool with Si’s new ball that actually bounces on water  ..it was great fun but our arms are killing us today ;-D

The next day, since we still had no dive work, we went filming at Mango Bay and Twins for a project that Simon is working on… with great visibilty, the dives are so much fun…

HAPPY EASTER !!!!!!We hope everyone has a lovely day!!

So,

A quick round up of the last couple of days..

It was Carsten’s birthday on the 4th, and we planned to go shoot BB guns at each other.. Unfortunately the place was closed for a week… so Plan B… mini golf.

We played for hours, all getting far too much sun… but was a fun time…

Then it was time to go to the Save Koh Tao meeting, before zooming to Vibe to join in the birthday party antics. We stayed until Carsten fell asleep (too much to drink!) and retired home for the evening.

Next day, I was dealing with video work etc, while Jen went diving…  checking out our coral wreck we designed last year… its looking well.

Now the lovely bit… For the last week or so, I have had a very itchy toe… I thought it was a bit of athletes foot (very common with the climate we have here)… It turned from itchy to quite sore and swollen a couple of days ago, so yesterday I went to the clinic…
It turns out that my toe is currently a home for a worm!  If you look at the photo below you can see the route that the little bugger has travelled.  I must have picked up the worm by walking through a puddle with some bacteria in it.
Good news is, that its very easily treatable… A few tablets for 3 days should kill the little blighter… and I just have to be careful not to get it infected..  No problem going diving with it.. which is good.!
