My poor student has fallen ill, so I am off the boat. What to do? Of course knowing my luck, today will be the day that everyone ends up seeing whale sharks and bait balls or something equally fantastic.. it is always the dive you miss, that stuff gets seen on, isn’t it?

So I thought I would do a bit of updating and editing. I have taken it out of the flat though for a change, and am sat in Makani, my favourite cafe in Sharm (at one time, it was the only cafe! Oh how things change. In just a few years, now we have Starbucks, Cilantro and Costa Cofffee)

I am still kind of in shock about the death of Michael Jackson… Ok not totally relevant to diving, however, as a dancer, I grew up learning his moves, and playing his songs through the 70’s, 80’s and on into the 90’s. I guess it is the end of an era.

On another note altogether, we have a sick kitten near us

We always have lots of feral cats living around our place, well… I would rather cats than rats) and one of the more cheeky little ones turned up the other day looking like a bag of bones in a complete mess. While we have been away, the poor little thing obviously has had some kind of tummy bug, and maybe a bout of cat flu. So we got him lapping up a tiny bit of stinky fish juice laced with a touch of antibiotic (here.. you can buy anything over the counter) which initially seemed to help. Yesterday however he looked worse for wear, so off we went to the vet. Well of course there he turned into the totally feral little tiger that he really is!! I have never seen such a tiny thing with such strength, force and claws! To cut a long story short, he is now dosed up with loads of drugs in a feeble attempt to bring him back to health. We shall see if it all works…
