Fairygirl. No, apart from the infamous Stoney Cove when my niece was training, I did all my diving in UK waters in Cornwall, either out of St Ives, Hayle, Penzance, Lamorna Cove, or off the Lizard for the Manacles. I towed someone in full kit for 200 yards in a hailstorm in Porthoustock Harbour for my Rescue course. Memorable moments are wild dolphins off St Ives, Basking sharks off Porthcurno, and an Orca off Gurnards head. The Runnel Stone in 30m visibility one June day was pretty spectacular too.
I like warm water too much these days. Far less gear to hump about.
Thunder keeps rumbling away but at least the rain is coming down lightly. Forecast isn't very good for Wimbledon next week but the football continues in the rain so OH happy and occupied.
Talking dogs and cats on the telly. Raining cats and dogs outside. Grass is so long on the lawn the local cats are going to get lost. On the other hand there are all sorts of flowers showing. I managed to cut some elm out of the hedge, and some elder and shred it, but thats all I've done in the garden today.
No thunder here Joyce - yet! Very 'like it' though. I love a good thunderstorm
Don't envy you that Rescue fidget Mind you, I can't swim....
Spectacular, if somewhat edgy memories for you though! The orca sighting must have been particularly special.
Think my BIL prefers warmer waters too - they go to the Maldives most years and he spends the whole time diving. My niece is qualified to teach, and was working at The Place in Koh Tao, Thailand until a couple of years ago. She met her boyfriend there - he's a cave diver.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It's got very dark here, and it's chucking it down. Of course, I had to stand at the front door for twenty minutes doing a Government survey (my house is the one they picked at random ) and the sun was out, blue skies - the works. Soon as he goes away....typical
I'd already fobbed 'em off twice before so I couldn't really refuse!
I had to resort to hoovering The new carpet is so fluffy - it needs hoovered umpteen times to get all the little bits off

Been AWOL the last few days, have been poorly with really bad headaches. Much better now but still have a slight headache. Not like me at all, can't remember the last time i was ill.
Not mentioning Thursdays/Fridays results well ok i suppose i just did.
Lovely peony Wonks.
Sorry not read back, hope everyone all ok.
Weather here has been rain and storms since Wednesday.
Busy day preparing the house for our visitors (daughter, SIL and 2 granddaughters) who are arriving tomorrow from Galway. Hopefully we've done enough to ensure they have a really good holiday. I'm looking forward to a lovely time playing with the children...
Hope you're soon headache free, SGL. A bad one can be really debilitating...
Lovely to see your cats as well as that beautiful peony, Wonks.
Obelixx, hope the garden dries up soon.
Fairy, your carpentry skills sound impressive... glad you enjoyed the walk too!
Must make some flapjack before bed.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
