It’s back to island life again.
Its only been just over a week since we’ve arrived back but seems a lot longer.   The weather has been unpredictable but what’s been nice is that it’s been nice a cool.  So pretty easy to settle back into things.  The dive center has been pretty quiet, just waiting on the Chinese invasion.
Si’s been busy with the Bar, Diving, Photography, Social Media, being aTech Guru at the PADI award ceremony to name but a few of his talents 😀   I really don’t know how he does it.  He’s even managed to get a walk or two in.

I’ve been teaching a 4 day Reef Check course with one girl and by the end of it I was totally shattered 😀  It’s the weekend now and I’ve managed to go for a swim, cycle, pottering/sorting around the house, have a massage, get my nails painted and today, cycling up to the reservoir for the first time in over a month.  It’s a hot day and I think I’m going to struggle ..a lot LOL

The last week in the UK seems to have gone in a flash.  We managed to pack quite a few things in.   We met up with Roy and drove up to Norfolk and stayed with Simon’s Mum, Del & Auntie Pat who had rented a lovely mobile home on the coast for a couple of nights and then drove back home, to the farm.

The 15th was my Birthday, another year older and wiser they say  ..not too sure if that’s correct LOL
Anyway, I had a super day, got thoroughly spoilt and went out with the family for a lovely meal in the evening!  It was lovely coming home to a room full of balloons (Thank you Rosie) and lots of cards and brilliant prezzies AND my very own chocolate button cake, baked by Iona 😀

The following Sunday we drove to Croydon to visit Simons father and Kate.   We spent most of the afternoon just catching up and then in the evening we went out for a bite to eat.  We were pleasantly surprised by going to Chai-Naasto which was an Indian street style food restaurant.  Very good food, not that spicy but worth a visit.  The decor was brilliant!

Monday we met up with Rosie & Charles, Rob and his vegetarian girlfriend in London for a speed boat experience along the Thames, which was great.  I just wish we could have gone faster!  A great day out though, THANK YOU ROSIE!!

Many Happy Returns Squiddles!!  
Dad would have been 97 years young today.

Since the wedding we’ve been pretty active, Si’s been out walking here there and everywhere, working on his social media work which seems to be never ending and driving everywhere as per usual to see everyone.  I on the other hand have been helping Rosie out in her Tea room on the odd day,  cycling most days unless it’s chucking it down and have done some babysitting for my Goddaughter Iona which was great fun.   Whilst I was in bed on Sunday morning, Iona was up early creating a super hero costume 😀    Such a creative little sausage.
