It's a known (and frequently lamented) fact that everything tastes better with butter on it. And when I say 'butter', I mean the proper full fat, grass fed, lightly salted and preferably Irish kind that comes in the foil packs - not that manky shite that comes in the plastic tubs with pictures of olives...

So I've been on the Keto kick for 2 weeks now and am due a weigh-in. The tape-measure tells me i've lost six centimetres from around my waist, and precisely fuck-all from around my ass, and I'm slightly concerned i'm going to end up looking a bit like Kimmy K on a bad day. Week... Continue Reading →
So far, all is good in the proverbial hood, save for a bit of a cheat yesterday. Today i've been languishing on the sofa ... you know it's bad when Netflix asks you if you're still watching ... Day 4 Today I am sore. So sore, in fact, that I can hardly walk. Six weeks... Continue Reading →
In answer to the most common questions received to date, yes, my digestive system still works, and no, I don't have the shits yet. So what's the skinny (pardon the pun) so far? Day 1 I feel gross going in, but I think that's more to do with the over-indulgence over silly season (I'm thinking... Continue Reading →
The last time I wrote anything was a month after I arrived in Australia, well over two years ago now. Have I really been too busy to put pen to paper? No, I've had plenty of down-time. I just simply CBF. I didn't realise the extent to which I used writing as an emotional crutch,... Continue Reading →
It's booked, paid for, flights arranged, kit sorted. True to form, i'm taking it to the extreme and doing the trek without enough training and with a dodgy back. It's more of an achievement that way. At least, that's what i'm telling myself. But even to me that sounds like bullshit ... "Follow in the... Continue Reading →
Tuesday it rained. When I say 'rained', I actually mean 'the Heavens opened and it absolutely pissed down'. With nothing to do, a friend and I headed for the one place we knew to have a decent internet connection to wait it out. While we were there, we had a glass of wine. On the... Continue Reading →
It isn't all work. And let's face it - as work goes, this doesn't exactly suck. I get to spend my days in the 'office' surrounded by beautiful, buff bodies with dark tans and big smiles. And then there's all that rubber … ! Anyway, between the beautiful beach, the good food, the awesome diving... Continue Reading →
Monday morning dawned, and we were preparing to head out to monitor humpback whales. This was a shore-based exercise, and basically we're supposed to be looking at numbers and behaviour patterns. Typically, though, there was a change in plans and our afternoon dive had been brought forward. This time, the trainees were heading out with... Continue Reading →
I've been wanting to learn SCUBA since before I was old enough. Somehow i've managed to put it off for about twenty years, and now i'm very excited. The plan (as much as there is one - it's Mozambique after all!), is to spend the first day blasting our way through all the theory (5... Continue Reading →
