I’ve been busy sorting out ECO …trying to put together a proposal for ‘ISV’ (International Student Volunteers) who are hoping to send groups of 10-15 students here on a regular basis. They are more interested in land conservation, so going to make a few things up and perhaps get cement mixing ..YAY!!!
Simon is still teaching a documentary course which is finally coming to an end soon. I think he’s had enough and fancies a change.
Today, we’re both at home, Si did pop into the office for an hour and I went down to collect my bike but now we’re at home just catching up with mails, blogs and unpacking all those messy little items that have little use and wonder why on earth do we have so much clutter LOL
The last couple of days have been pretty hectic but we’ve finally moved!!!!!!!!
Kirsty and I managed to pack everything and carry it down our numerous flights of stairs, so that when Simon arrived with the Taxi following him, we could load everything on and drive to our new house and unload. With the amount of cases, boxes we’ve accumulated over the last 5 years, we had to do, two trips ;-D ..and if only you could see the state of Kirsty and I having after lugging cases, boxes down the stairs and making multiple trips back up ..we were exhausted, dripping with sweat and funnily enough, we both had very sore legs the next day 😀
With everything unloaded …work was still being done on the house ..nothing like leaving things to the last minute. …we unpacked the kitchen things but clothes etc were left until later.
The house as Simon said is nothing to look at but it has a nice feel to it and reminds me of a little hobbit house …Si’s still not convinced but I think as soon as everything has been unpacked, we’ve got all our furniture in, it’ll be cool. I can’t wait to play with my new gas cooker.
Well…. Its soooooo busy… I am still on a course which I started on the 5th of January, and will not finished until the 17th February… Everyday its editing and diving to get the student to create a documentary about the ocean. Its hard work, but hopefully will be worth it in the end.
In other news, last week, we had a small guest in the house… It took 10 days to catch him, but after getting a big humane trap, we caught him and I released him elsewhere later that day… I know its a Rat… but still… as long as he not in our house I don’t mind…
So, Jenny finished an Open Water Course yesterday, and went straight into a Reef Check with 3 students, plus 8 Divemaster Trainees!! Big first day, but today should be just the 3 students, which will make her day easier to deal with.
Moving wise, Jenny got the key 2 days ago… We still cannot move in, as I have found another hole in the roof, a bedroom needs emptying by the landlord, and some rubbish needs removing… however he has promised that it will be done in the next couple of days (we only have 4 days left!!)… I have moved some boxes, and also hooked up the oven…. we are making progress, but I am sure it will be last minute as always…
I shall do an aerial flight of it when we move in…. not much to look at outside, but at least you can get an idea…. Speaking of aerial flights… yesterday, Thailand decided that from March, drones with cameras will be banned… so I have until then to capture what I want, and then I may be restricted from using it again…. 🙁
