Good grief it’s COLD!
After a fairly leisurely flight spent chatting, eating and snoozing, we stuck our heads out of the plane to find to our horror, the temperature in the UK has plummeted! I don’t know quite how cold it was, but there was lots of frosty stuff this morning, and last night our breath was steaming out all over the place. Not my idea of fun.
Anyway, it is good to be back amongst family and friends, so that is a bonus. I have even managed to deal with the majority of the nasty financial stuff that needed sorting too, so a nice week lies ahead of me, although I am missing the sea, sun and diving already.

OK so… dawn of a new day, and new plan of action… I am finally braving the arctic and popping home!! It has reached that point where there are enough little bits that need sorting back home, and not enough warm clothes here, so something drastic has to be done! I had better brace myself for the chilly stuff.

Brrr

Oh yes it’s getting colder and colder! (25ºC and falling… OK so not quite ice diving just yet) The neoprene is not quite cutting it right now, and I am on the brink of going dry! Yes the time has finally come to pop home and get warm stuff. So far my fantastic friends here have kept me wrapped in warm stuff… I have been loaned a hat, a fleecie and two hoodies which have just about kept me alive (or so it feels!). I think a flight home may be on the horizon… now I really will need my fleecies then! Of course the water is still crystal clear and the sun still shining, I am just being a bit of a warm water wuss.
