Right here and now!
Consonant reader,
Glad to be back in the UK I tell ya. A part of me feels like the rest of the world is moving on at a quicker pace than usual when I'm away from the World of Blog.
The holiday was a complete success in seriously fucking up my sinuses and getting my skin the shade of murky coffee. No, honestly I loved it. It was strictly a family affair with mum, dad and sis all together for one last blast before.. well the next one I suppose. Croatia is lovely and I sincerely hope you go one day in the future. I spent time on the island of Korcula towards the south- east coast but there's obviously more to see and do in Croatia than just that. Well, theres always next time..
I spent most of my days in the sea. This involved a great deal of snorkeling and for a good half of the holiday as you've read, I was involved in a scuba course which was pretty ruddy awesome. I'm looking forward to having a dive here in the UK waters, although I've been told the visibility of the sea will be considerably less than crystal clear around the UK waters. Infact, I may well only see the occasional 'mersey trouts' swim past my mask.
Scuba diving can play complete havoc with your sinuses as I've just moaned about, but at one point in the holiday I suffered to the extreme. One long hot day, something in my head just snapped and I felt as if someone had plugged my head into the mains. I had to cradle my head to shield the pain which was just literally pumping around the back of my head. This was worse than a migraine I assure you. I couldn't speak to anyone only mustering a meek little whisper to communicate with anybody. And I had to keep reminding myself to breath over all the searing pain. Apparently this was a common thing in divers, especially those who go down to depth and who have sinus problems. Add to the problem the fact that I had drunk very little water in the past few days, it led to serious results. The headache lasted for a whole day, all through the night too. Owww...
But I did catch up on some book reading. I got through 'The Crow Road', then onto 'The Talisman' and finally onto 'Black House', at least I didn't get caught short and find there was nothing to read on holiday as per Turkey but at the same time, I did over- compensate with the books. I didn't need to bring them all really.
And now the holiday is over and its back to being Bonobo. Lots to do now, moving my stuff around, finding somewhere to rest my head (I'm semi- homeless- but in a nice way) and generally earn some pounds for a few weeks whilst at the same time try and get round to seeing everyone I haven't seen in a good millenia. Its all go.
