Well, today is NOT a good day.

What started as a pleasant evening last night, watching the football, got better when England actually won their match putting them through to the next round.

Then Jen and I went home for a couple of hours before meeting up with Carsten at Choppers for the Germany game. Sometime during this game, somebody stole my motorbike.

Carsten very generously lent me his scooter so we could get home, and today has been mostly driving up and down the island looking for the bike (needle in haystack comes to mind)

No luck, and having been to the Police station (they were rather busy watching tv) I don’t hold out much hope. 30,000 baht out of pocket, no motorbike, and we begin our move today to an apartment up a very steep hill which the bike would have come in very useful for.

Grumpy as… nuff said.

While we wait for the video of Eddies latest fight, here is his debut last year..

I remember hardly being able to speak from screaming so much!

After this fight, Eddie discovered he had broken bones in his foot… OUCH!!

Last nights Muay Thai was really good.   The first couple of fights were youngsters which I dont really like to see but they fought well and received lots of applause.
Eddie’s fight went to 3 rounds, both men fought really well but on the 3rd round, Eddies opponent had enough and ended the match by which time the Crystal gang went crazy,  Eddie had so much support that I really felt sorry for the other guy. Video coming soon…

Today we signed up for the afternoon boat just for a fun dive.  Both dives were ok, nothing special, visibility still isn’t great but it was nice to see that some of the corals are slowly recovering, well at least it looks like they are, as it has been cooler, more cloud coverage and the odd shower here and there.

In the evening, we met up with a few friends for a BBQ.  It was delicious.  Garlic bread, sweetcorn, egg salad, sensational spiced vegatables cooked in tin foil on the barbee   ..washed down with a nice red South African wine 😉
