Third day sorry for the disorder

My my its a wondeful world down there in the sea these creatures are oblivious to what we are doing around them, especially when my famous gravitational dives keep occuring. I keep wondering what on earth is going on, it got so bad at one point the dive instructor had to grab my hand and another girls to keep us on the rock steady path home. She, Petra the diving instructor came out frustrated more than me, I loved parts of the experience but for her it was tough. The other girl just felt pain in her ears and kept bumping into me making me want to scream and i bet she was screaming too but who could hear. Its a mystery why I tend to favour the yogic position of standing on my head in the ocean without touching the floor but the guess is that my full neoprene suit is too big on me, the weights are too much and now tomorrow morning we will try to put me in a half diving suit with ankle weights. Oh lord another experience becomes me! It makes me laugh how i can just make people laugh at meand get frustrated with me when they are in the mode of teaching..anne some memories may come back for you right? I am refreshing or 'learning' some would say with two german youngsters and i have been labelled as the source of entertainment especially when I come rocking up with my 'very difficult to put on' dive suit inside out! Oh what fun the whole group and the gyptian boys had and those boys they love me, they just help me all the time and yes i will take advantage of it big time afterall, why would i want to carry my huuuge oxygen tank to the beach when I come out of the water when a strapping youth agrees to come to the reef and outstretch some of that arab hospitality. It would be sensationally rude to refuse!!

Salina, as you know I am a girl with manners, something some of my friends would dispute but down under I can burp bigger and better than my 7 year old nephew raess who can wake a contented sleeping deaf granny from their deep slumber with a single length and sound of his burp! Lordy, I burp for all the 7 year olds in the country a strange experience I might add whilst this big fat regulator-oxygen tank pipe is stuck in my mouth at the bottom of the sea.

The scenery today was amazing, thrillin and beautiful, the different colours of coral peppered amongst the greens, in particular i loved the look of the big fat fish on their coral looking like some old men sitting on their armchair in front of the TV. I suspect we were their entertainment. Incredible! That is my second dive, can't wait for tomorrow, wonder if I could seek another opportunity to be an upside down astronaut!

Today, i managed to get some money out of the bank and do some fruit and veg shopping, what an experience. Since you may be aware that I am living in this broken down,do everything tomorrow town,this has meant that we did our shopping in the dark because the electricity was cut off. Oh yes, so we drove the car to the front of the stall and switched the car lights on so we could see, apart from teh fact that claire is very much like me in her parking that we could only get a smidgeon of light. I approached the tall veggie man and gave my customary greeting of a serious 'assalma alaikum' to which he leapt out of his chair and shook my hand, totally befuddling me especially as his cigarette was so close to my very much wanted hand!! We then used a torch from a mobile to examine the goods but it turned out to be hilarious experience. I as you all know, was excited to come home and cook all my veg, dig into my little cucumbers, stave off any suggestions to eat plain non spiced pasta with veg but oh no, disaster strikes particularly when I envisioned the bread i bought being dipped into the walnut honey that i bought as well ...yum yum...my flatmate left her key with her boyfriend who was on a night dive! Yup, you can imagine how i felt, but we were looked after big time by steve and claire in their flat who made the most amazing and tasty fajitas with the local bread. Quite a motley crew here and I like the people, everyone is friendly and I want that to last big time!
