It's beer O'clock in Paradise.







Sorry

Don't be sorry, you're meant to be enjoying yourselves!

2 week heat wave on the way according to the Express, I'll believe it when I see it

Me too!

The bad news continues, my potential new car is not ready for me to go see until tomorrow evening at the earliest now, I go back to work Saturday so if it's not ready it will be middle of next week before I can drive it,bugger!

Turning into a crappy week.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. Hope the rest of the week is much better. Your perfect car is out there somewhere, just waiting for you to find it.
A bike ride will cheer you up.

Spinal clinic this morning was a waste of time. Still haven't seen my Consultant. Come back in six months. WTF.

That's crazy.

I've run out of teabags.

What did you drink instead?

I am really not a cream-based cocktail fan.

I'm not either. I think cream in a drink is too sickly. Love it on a desert though.

Nope it's crap. Best choice I made was to see a private physio.

Are they still helping you?

Ive been making bread again, this time I added bacon and blue and thyme and rosemary. A sort of fougasse.

I may have eaten some before I took the picture.

Since a lot of folk here are posting bread photos, here's one I made earlier. Its made with the 'really difficult to work with' wet dough method.

Both of those look amazing!

I'm still having private physio. Sports massage one week then two weeks later normal physio and acupuncture then two weeks again for sports massage.

Case Manager has asked for more sessions to be paid for but the third party are crazy slow so I am paying.

Getting frustrated as it's taking all my energy to do a full days work and I'm knackered and sore, so any exercise is out. And I'm not sleeping so on the settee every night which doesn't help my back

You sound so gutsy, not giving up! That must be very frustrating and when everything takes so long too. You need to take it in turns to sleep in your bed, especially now that you are back at work. Good luck.

Can often be better not sleeping in a bed.

Boy, does that take me back. I used to sleep out to get tickets for concerts when I was in college, so everybody at my house got seats all together.

Morning again, time to head for the dive boat and bother some fish.

This made me laugh

Nor me But then I don't like sweet creamy things at all.

Before flying out we stayed at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Gerrard Cross, I had a mojito and it was really sweet, my 1st one here was really quite sour which is more my taste. I have had a couple since and they have been just as sour

 

[Lullabelle]

A heavy rain shower happening right now but still hot, I might not be sunbathing for a while.

 

[TVC]

Diving suspended because of electrical storms in the area, hopefully we will get going later. Spose they don't call it rainforest for nothing.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Furnace motor out, now replaced. So much for that used lawn tractor savings.
Rather have central a/c in this part of the world. Bout as hot, maybe as humid, as say, Borneo.

TVC is now on the boat, well actually may be diving right now, the boats don't need to travel far.

 

[TVC]

Dive 1 done, I made an eel grumpy, not that that is hard.

One for Rocky and Reg: you know that bit half an hour into a dive and the Divemaster does an air check around the group, and you're not the one with the lowest pressure *smug*.

Back on the boat in half an hour for the second dive
