OK it is not arctic, but it feels that way!

So call me mesh, whimp or whatever you like but I am feeling the cold. And I am ashamed to say the water is not as chilly as it was last year! By the time we got to the beginning of this month, it had dropped to 26′C and I was FREEEEZING! So as soon as I saw one other guide in a drysuit, that was it… mine got a good dusting off, and out it came to play.

Boy does it feel sooo much better too. I don’t care what anyone says, but if you are female, under 8 stone, and quite a chilled diver, I strongly recommend a drysuit if you decide to pop over here during the winter. Ok not the best advert for our wonderful winter sun, but if it makes your holiday just that bit more comfy, what the heck. Enjoy being nice n toasty while everyone else shivers. Why suffer the icy cold wet wetsuit on that second or third dive??

Anyway, winging over, I shall get back to my nice hot chocolate.

Back on line! Weeeell… kind of

Ok so it is not quite so simple getting things sorted here in Sharm as it is in the UK. But rather than bore you with details, needless to say, I have managed to set up some kind of semi on-line stuff here. IE… I am sat in a cafe on a lappie using my new funky wi fi adaptor thingy.

So the flat has brought out the domestic goddess in me and the domestic god in my other half and I must say things are looking quite homely. Let’s hope we stay a while!
