It’s been pretty busy here
with Reef Check and Marine
Resource Management courses. So
we’ve
both been teaching :-D
I unfortunately developed
a lovely infection on the
side of my calf, maybe a
mozzie bite or
ingrown hair, I just don’t know.
I left
it for a few days, keeping it clean, resisting the temptation to
pick it but it
was just getting worse. So
I went to the
clinic with Si.
After seeing the Dr, the
nurse cleaned, scraped all
the puss, dead tissue away, leaving me with what looked like a
gunshot wound. They then
filled the hole with a strip of
bandage soaked in betadine and bandaged everything up. Ouch, definitely
NOT something I’d like to experience again.
Prescribed with strong
antibiotics and told
to stay dry, I hobbled off. I
was
pretty wary of taking them after my last allergic reaction and
especially with
Simon being on the afternoon boat
..but
everything was ok
..so that’s me out of the
water for few more days, which
means poor ole Simon has to juggle his course to squeeze in some
dives with my
student, Tania. So,
I’ve only been able
to do the academics side of things , have actually got around to
a blog,
rewriting all of the ECO slates which have faded over multiple
washes, made new
plumb lines and various other bits and bob.
This morning I cleaned around the house
including the
fans, which were covered in dust, took the washing down, emptied
the bins then
cycled down into Sairee to meet a friend for brunch at ‘Through the looking glass’
..which is a tiny
bakery which do the best homemade pies, sandwiches and cakes on
the
island. After spending a good hr 1/2 there, I
pottered about on the bike for half an hour, I did have every
intention to go exploring but as it was so hot I ventured home
for a nice cold shower ..how lazy am I?!
Tomorrow is the monthly Beach & Dive Site Clean Up! Hopefully they’ll be a big turn out!!
