Life on the bench: in my dressing gown

Must be very nice to have the luxury of waiting until next year. Are you going anywhere nice ?

Already had my first agency call of the week

Diving in Thailand

Diving in Thailand

Sounds fab, is that a Tsunami free zone ?

Yep, we'll be on a boat. It'll roll right under us...

Aren't you relatively safe even if you're in the water ? From what I remember of the big one that hit a couple of years ago with big loss of life some divers were amongst the survivors.

Depends how far out to sea the boat is! If the boat is near shore, then it's going to be swept in and dashed into the nearest hotel. If the boat is far enough out so that the water is deep enough to absorb the wave (you just get a little wave further out) then you might be OK. The deeper the water, the smaller the wave - it's when it gets to shore that the energy has no-where to go and it becomes destructive.

Of course, getting back into shore could be an "experience" to say the least.

I have an interview this morning. For a role in Azabaijan.

Do let us know how it goes.

Do let us know how it goes.

Seemed to go quite well.

BUT - probably want me to be out there over Christmas. Girls will not be happy, to say the least, and I've already said that that would be a BIG problem that I couldn't accept.

We wait and see....

Hopefully the client will see sense and suggest a start in the new year

Or, a flight out, meet and greet, pick up shedloads of documentation, come back and then start in the New Year ready to hit the ground running.
