Lightweight!!

Another early morning – but earlier than usual for me! I woke up at 4am and couldn’t get back to sleep!! We had one morning trip today and went out to Dyer Island again. We are now only 3 volunteers and having one less actually makes a big difference! I hardly saqw anything of the sharks today as I was busy sorting the clients out! But we did have a bit of excitement! One shark took the bait and wouldn’t let go. He managed to wrap the rope around himself several times and it was really quite distressing. We did manage to pull him against the cage, unroll him and get the bait out of his mouth. He would have been pretty stressed after that. The clients in the cage certainly got their monies-worth!!

After we had got back and sorted the boat and kit out, we went shopping. We have 2 shopping trips a week on Mondays and Thursdays. We got food and then I needed to go to the Pharmacy as I had a mild earache and wanted to get it checked! There was a small clinic at the pharmacy and I saw the nurse who said my ear was slightly inflamed and gave me some antibacterial drops for it – it was a very good and efficient service!

We then went to the pub for one drink. And after one beer, Lightweight Castro was very squiffy!! I’ve never been very good with lunchtime drinking at the best of times!!

We have been chilling out for the rest of the day and Lizzie is now making us a roast chicken dinner – mmmmmmmmm!
