Not been on @bsky.app so much tho.

Why ? The timeline needs addressing (for me). I want to scroll through the day and catch up, not go backwards.

Why ? I'm a big F1 fan so I end up seeing the result first and any race details after.

So that's my Twitter account permanently gone. I guess leaving a rude comment to Musk got picked up 😂

Nice to get out diving again today. My 2 regular buddies both had different reasons to be out of the water for a while so it was ace to get us together again.

The sun coming out at the end of the last dive was just wonderful.

OK. I'm actually impressed.

#Trump has been told to expect loud protests when he visits the UK.

I think anyone there protesting should simply turn their back on him (like he does to other countries).

That will annoy him much more. Imagine a whole crowd facing away 😂

@jay.bsky.team I would love Bluesky to allow me to see posts in order from where I left off to now. Currently it works from now to whatever point I get bored or remember I've read. For me the timeline needs inversion. I prefer to catch up rather than read backwards in time. Hope that makes sense.

Cracking couple of dives today. Temp about as low as I think it will go this year.

Comfy and warm in the water, but that wind afterwards was a bit bracing.

Fixed my zips on my wetsuit gloves so the only answer from here is to go diving on Sunday. Can't wait.

Two years ago we laid a plaque on the Dunraven wreck dedicated our our good friend Zak who died just before the trip aged 27.

It was a peaceful wreck site that nobody died on. We wanted somewhere we could visit that reminded us of Zak the previous year.

We returned last year to find it missing.

Good to also have a little clear head space. Wrapped up 2 decent projects recently.

Currently on the bench at work so spending my time doing some learning and topping up my skills.

Diary is so much less mental now.

I've given up on Twitter/X now.

It seems much nicer over here.

I'm not going to get political but sometimes you see things that are just the final straw.

Liam had a new toy to try out. The footage is superb. Vis was brilliant.

I'm on the twin set, Nayi has the blue fins, Ade with the black fins and Liam filming.

Managed to get the first dives of the year done on Sunday. Not had a chance to post yet.

A bit chilly. 6c in the water. Very cold in the car park.

Long drive home avoiding the motorway as the M6 was shut.

Many moons back (probably 10 years ago).

Passed a few snow ploughs on the way to the dive centre. Surfaced to more snow.

It thinned out a bit so we went again 😂

Had a fault come up on my car with the MAF sensor.

Opens bonnet.

Oh yeah....

Best plug that back in 😂

Visibility yesterday is why I tend to dive more in winter than summer.

Absolutely superb. Loved it.
December 16, 2024 at 10:26 AM
Last 2 dives of the year coming up tomorrow.

Sounds more interesting than it is, I'll be back on it in Jan soon enough 😂

It's now 10 Red Sea dive boats sunk in the last couple of years. Standards REALLY need to improve in Egypt.

Dives 467 and 468 today.

9c. Really good vis.

I needed today tbh. Had a lot going on recently.
December 1, 2024 at 6:50 PM
Packed up and ready to dive tomorrow.

Didn't get near Gran Turismo.

Had to help my 15 year old daughter with an art project instead.

They might prefer to call me Dad, but I'm still Daddy too 😎

Friday pm.

My mind is switching to family time, some Chinese food, some beer/wine, a film, a lie in tomorrow then diving on Sunday followed by the F1 race.

All very much needed.

Whilst I'd already made the decision to skip next year's Egypt dive trip with my club, it does make some conversations with my wife a little easier.

Over a dozen Red Sea trips Inc the last 3 years and I need the holiday time to just be off work and chill out.
