I recently whinged about my camera not working properly due to me being an idiot and dropping it on the floor. It basically will not focus on anything closer than one meter from the lens. Underwater photography without a proper external flash is pretty much all about macro, up close and personal, and if my [...]
We’re between guests right now at Kasai, and the next guests arriving are some quite important travel agents so we need to get everything spic and span before they get here. One of the projects is to paint the floor in the dive equipment area, where all the guests get kitted out before a dive [...]
Both me and my brother have a genetical hearing disability, inherited from our dad, and I’ve also added on to that with loud concerts and explosions… and I’ve got tinnitus.

So I’ve been roaming around asking in random shops how and where you’d buy satellite subscription top-up whatsits… and I’ve now succeded! I have a bunch [...]
I’ve still got one. It’s very annoying. After my little accident in December I got a pretty bad fever which my friend Louise helped me conquer, not sure I would have survived it without her! I’ve also got a little cough that all people around me keep reminding me is quite annoying. Either way, I’ve [...]
