Si spent most of the morning editing and whilst I did some chores.

Around midday, we rode down to Crystal to say our goodbyes to Dom, whom we did our DMT with last year.  He’s off snowboarding in New Zealand, so dont feel sorry for him at all ;-D

After grabbing a cheese and onion toastie at ‘Safety Stop’ we headed home where Si continued to edit.
Later that afternoon we met Nath at ‘Choppers’ to watch some of the Aussie Rules  …I glanced at the game a few times and it seemed to be a corker but as I’d taken my laptop and Si’s headphones, I spent most of  my time searching the net for an appropriate song for the Eco film that I’m making

As there’s so many people with Birthdays in September at Crystal a drinks evening was arranged, so very much looking forward to that.

Jen woke with a very sore head, then went back to bed!

Getting up for a second attempt at midday, she managed to get to the clinic for syringing (she is outta the water for 5 days due to a mild ear infection) and then Crystal to check the post… and she had some!!!

First a card from Rosie, then pressies from Mum, Pat, and Liz.. lucky girl!

Here is the vid of her opening them, please excuse the sound its quite low, and I had Nick the Belgium getting excited next to me because he had just received some meat from his parents .. weird…

Oh, and Liz… she found your card after I stopped recording and we both read it together..

Many thanks guys!

Happy Birthday Jenny!!!

Today, I woke with some hardcore pain in my ears and jaws, but put a brave face on since it was Jenny’s special day.

I went and got some flowers, croissants, and a little cake… before waking her with a fresh cuppa.

She also got a card the evening before, which turned out to be from Mum and Del (thanks guys!)

I then offered to take her to a spa day, at one of the islands classy hotels… but she declined, wanting to wait till I am better and we can enjoy it together.. bless..

We then headed to Crystal in case any more post had come in (it hadn’t) and went to the shops to get her pressies… she was expecting a bikini ! Instead, she got a brand new BCD and regulator, which was much needed as our equipment is wearing out quickly!

A very pleased Jen can’t wait to dive using her new gear but will have to wait 5 days with a slight ear infection…

Later on that evening, we attended a Snorkel Test, where new Divemasters have to drink a bucket of alcohol through a snorkel… there was an extra chair for Jen… She drank the lot, and felt extremely bloated after….

Even later on, after a rather large amount of booze, I dragged her home to bed…
