Feeling much brighter today we had breakfast, boiled egg, soldiers and a cup of tea and headed into town.   Our first stop was Crystal, to sign up for tomorrows morning dives.

Then Deep Down, the videographers where Si chatted (geeky stuff) with James (another videographer) whilst I popped next door to ‘Island Travel’ to sort out our Visa run to Burma. Every 3 months we have to leave the country for a 3 month extention.   So this time we’re just to do a quick one.

Get the boat, minibus and boat over to Burma, have our passports stamped and straight back again.  We leave on the 5th at 10:15am and return the following morning just before 6am.  It’s not the most pleasant of journeys but it’s quick.
After our little chores were done, we went for a lovely swim at the ‘Regal’ pool.  Si tried several times to drown me but with little success ;-D
We headed home for lunch and made some boiled egg sandwiches with mayo and Im proud to say, Simons newly grown brocolli sprouts.  They were delicious!!

Tonight is Eco Film Night, so it’s off to Crystal bar to show Episode 6 of ‘The Human Planet’ Grasslands.  Hopefully there will be a good turn out!

This morning, we both woke with thunderous headaches after last nights drinking.  I think I eventually surfaced around midday.  Si in the meantime had done UK work,  popped out to get provisions and by the time I actually showered, had breakfast on the go.  Egg & beans on toast, orange juice and nice cup of tea.   How lovely was that?! ;-D

We both spent most of the day vegging out, watching various tv series and a couple of films.  Just the cure for a hangover ;-D 

We did pop out in the evening though, as Simon needed to speak with Jace (videographer), so we popped down to Crystal for an hour or so and then headed to ‘El Gringo’s’  Mexican restaurant for a takeaway.

Such a lazy day!

Happy Birthday Jan
&
Happy Anniversary Rosie & Charles.            Have a fabulous day!

After a slow morning, Simon and I eventually left the house around midday to rendezvous with Nathan and family who are visiting from Oz to dive Junkyard.

At Crystal there was no sign of Nath, so we shot up to Zest for breakfast.  Whilst I ordered, Si raced to the garage to see if they had a footpeg for the bike as the rear passenger side had fallen off but returned minutes later footpegless. 

Back at Crystal, Nathan and co were setting up so we rushed to get our kit and piled everything on the longtail and headed out. After securing coral and adding new signage to the Sydney harbour bridge Si and I went off on our own to do a bit of cleaning and rejoined Nathan & Co back on the longtail Naths sister was amazed by amount of life that had moved in and with all the work that we’ve done.

The afternoon we chilled out with Nathan and his friends and family and Simple Life’s pool, had a few games of catch and then headed to Yoga, which I was pleasantly surprised as to how flexible I was (NOT)  90mins later, we headed home, showered.

Today was also Nathans friends birthday, so we’d arranged to meet up at Vibe for drinks as it was ’80’s night.  All Naths crew had dressed up and had funky shades and were the life and sole of the party, singing, dancing and we just watched in hysterics, they were all so funny.  Too many wine and soda’s i think Si and I were the last to leave.
