A day off !!

Both of us have a day off…. which means cooking breakfast for Jen while she watches multiple episodes of Eastenders, having gallons of filtered coffee… and generally chilling out for the day.

The weather is changeable… but actually quite cool and mild, which makes a pleasant change… Here’s a photo from the night dive 2 days ago…

So today will be a catch up day… with emails, tv, facebook, skype, etc etc… Add to that , I plan to cook a good old Roast dinner too….

Yum yum…

My first day back at work today. 

I was down at Crystal around 7.50am due to start a Rescue course with one chap but manage to put him off until tomorrow as there’s someone else starting.  So rather than earning the minimal, I can at least boost my wages a little, seeing I missed out on the full moon madness.

This guy (Valentin) is going on to do his Reef Check, so after convincing him to start a day late, I took him for a one on one dive to Junk Yard, showing him all our coral transplants, structures and pointing out Algae, sponges, hard & soft corals.   So at least he has a little heads up.

He seems pretty switched on so I think Rescue will go pretty well.

As I don’t get paid for this morning or if I stayed in the office, wouldnt get paid for that either, I cycled home, stopping on the way to get some milk, rat poison and a rat trap as we have an unwelcome guest at the moment. 

I’ve set the trap and put down the poison, it’s only a matter of time.

I’m still off work and apparently it’s crazy down at Crystal.  Classrooms packed, late evenings, and not enough equipment.   Si doesn’t want me to go back yet as I’ll just make myself ill again but I’m going crazy not doing anything apart from watching various TV series and playing Candy Crush.

Yesterday was the first time in over a week that I’ve actually been out of the house.  It felt really odd but it was good to be out and about.   I walked into Chalok and sat on the beach for a short while and then went for a massage.  By the time I got home, I was ready to sit and do nothing.  It’s amazing how lazy you get by doing nothing.

Simon has been working hard.  Teaching non stop and as well as coping with issues arising at Crystal Images.   I really dont know where he gets his patience or energy from.
