Grumpy Old Diver

The ramblings of an aging scuba diver intended primarily to keep our daughter, Alison (who is working in Antarctica), up to date with the trials and tribulations of life back in the UK. Tuesday, 8 April 2008. How to avoid the strain. Country law, however, confirms it, as it is well known that the easiest way to obtain a fresh cow pat (to apply, for example, as a poultice) is by whacking the cow’s behind with a plank.

Grumpy Old Diver: January 2007

http://www.grumpyolddiver.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

The ramblings of an aging scuba diver intended primarily to keep our daughter, Alison (who is working in Antarctica), up to date with the trials and tribulations of life back in the UK. Thursday, 18 January 2007. On the subject of kids. Sven forwarded the following email to me about how kids used to live in the olden days (my era). You may well have seen it before but there's a lot of truth in there. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's! No one was able to...

The ramblings of an aging scuba diver intended primarily to keep our daughter, Alison (who is working in Antarctica), up to date with the trials and tribulations of life back in the UK. Monday, 26 March 2007. It is completely voluntary, we do it for fun and to provide a bit of humour, support, food and drink for the brave souls who are doing this walk. I don't think they even said thank-you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Grumpy Old Diver: The sublime and the ridiculous

The ramblings of an aging scuba diver intended primarily to keep our daughter, Alison (who is working in Antarctica), up to date with the trials and tribulations of life back in the UK. Friday, 9 February 2007. The sublime and the ridiculous. We also had a tour of the factory where your laptop was screwed together. This is a very impressive setup not the least because they don't hold any stock! Will reject my claim due to a rule infringement and I will have to get the infernal VAT receipt somehow. All yo...

The ramblings of an aging scuba diver intended primarily to keep our daughter, Alison (who is working in Antarctica), up to date with the trials and tribulations of life back in the UK. Monday, 21 January 2008. Bet you can't guess who the 'chef' is? AFTER looking at a picture of The Waterfall pub in Old Hill on the internet I was impressed by the attractive white-bricked pub. The pub was reassuringly busy for a Saturday night and we quickly bagged the only remaining table. All meals were unbelievably che...

The ramblings of an aging scuba diver intended primarily to keep our daughter, Alison (who is working in Antarctica), up to date with the trials and tribulations of life back in the UK. Monday, 1 October 2007. Got a new voluntary job cleaning windows at the Birmingham Seal Life Centre. When I say windows I mean the wet side of the tunnel that people walk through to see the sharks and turtles etc in the main tank. Rosie who was cleaning the dry side gave directions so that no bits were missed. I feel very...

Antarctic Ali: January 2008

http://antarcticali.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 30 January 2008. January - The Month of Minke. We had a pod of Orca (killer whales) visit later on in the month, they were too far out in Ryder Bay to get any decent photos of them so I stood and watched them through binoculars. They were clearly playing around and having a lot of fun, one of the calves leapt completely out of the water – an awesome sight! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Grumpy Old Diver's Blog.

Antarctic Ali: March 2009

http://antarcticali.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Monday, 23 March 2009. All in a day's work. I've just found this post that I wrote 3 years ago but didn't publish. I might get around to updating this site one day! Today has been my last Monday at Rothera (the Ernest Shackleton arrives on Thursday and we depart for the Falklands on Sunday). The 1st dive of the morning - Birgit and I went in off the wharf on the hunt for brachiopods which are pink bi-valve molluscs (rather like a mussel but fatter and pink! Let me know as I'm going to be unemployed this ...

Antarctic Ali: May 2008

http://antarcticali.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, 25 May 2008. We normally make a bit of an effort for Saturday night meals, this week we decided to do something a bit different and have a medieval banquet. There was the the usual Saturday morning rush to make costumes and decorations with outstanding results. Some of the decorations including an amazing candle holder that Al 'just knocked up'. Ferg and Matty partake in a spot of post-banquet jousting. Posing for a photo around the bar which most definately isn't in the 'lounge'. I took a long o...

Antarctic Ali: October 2007

http://antarcticali.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Monday, 15 October 2007. The 1st BAS Twin Otter. Well that's it - Winter is officially over. The first of the BAS Twin Otters and the Dash 7 arrived today bringing BAS personnel and this means the start of the Antarctic Summer season. Winter seems to have flown by, I can't decide if I'm ready for summer or not. It's great to have a new input of people but having spent the last 6 months with just the 22 of us I have a feeling it's going to take some getting used to. Sunday, 14 October 2007.

Antarctic Ali: Sea Ice Excursions

http://antarcticali.blogspot.com/2008/07/sea-ice-excursions.html

Saturday, 26 July 2008. After a disappointing sea ice year last year, when 'travel' was limited to access to dive holes in Hangar Cove, it was a brilliant experience to finally be able to walk on water around Rothera Point this week. We were out testing the thickness of the ice which remained between 20 and 40cm. Massive icebergs get trapped as the ice forms. Ferg and Jason admiring the awesome views. A huuuuuge berg with Jenny Island in the background. Heading towards South Cove. Grumpy Old Diver's Blog.

http://antarcticali.blogspot.com/2009/01/summer-is.html

Tuesday, 13 January 2009. Being able to get aerial views. Spending Christmas at Sky Blu. Ice skating in the sunshine on a blue-ice runway. Drinking Christmas whisky with 1000(s) year old blue ice. Getting up close with killer whales. Boating and diving in an Antarctic context. The appearance of snow algae around the point. Summer is also about not finding time to update your blog!

Antarctic Ali: March 2008

http://antarcticali.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, 8 March 2008. Yes to you this may be 'just a banana' but to me it is very likely to be my LAST banana for EIGHT MONTHS. This makes me very sad. We're coming to the end of the summer season at Rothera. The last two Twin Otter Aircraft left today and the larger Dash 7 leaves tomorrow. Then it's just 4 weeks until the ship (the James Clark Ross) arrives and collects the remaining summer staff leaving the 22 of us in peace for winter. Thursday, 6 March 2008. To the East of Rothera. Past the Argenti...

Least I Could Do. Grumpy Old Dad Blog. 20 Mar 2010 18:26. First day of spring and we were out in the yard working on the pond. Removing the excessive dead vegetation from last year's record rain fall. Digging through the much and mire to yank out roots. Going to be at this all summer. Also have to shore up the walls of the side of the driveway over the pond. Lost some due to erosion and I need to stop that fast. 19 Mar 2010 07:38. Did I mention the chain saw? You have heard it all before. Going to try an...

Monday, November 13, 2006. It's time for change. With the recent Democratic victory in the US midterm elections, it is obvious that the people of northern America are ready for a change. They are done with Stay The Course, they are done with tax breaks for the richest 1% and spiraling working-class poverty levels. It is for this reason that I present the only true option in the 2008 presidential election:. Posted by The Dez @ 10:07 pm - Permalink. Thursday, November 09, 2006. A change is as good as a rest.

Throwing stupidity off bridges. Where fury and rage open their arms to embrace you. I’ve learned an important lesson in context lately, of course for me it’s not because I heard it in a sermon, or in a podcast, or even thought to myself about the importance of context……no it was because I said probably 3 or 4 things in which either the context, the content, or both made […].

Fred Kaplan over on Slate was agonizing over Americaâ s image abroad and looked for reader responses on what we Americans can do to fix it. He says most of his responses were from Americans overseas and maybe that implies we stateside Americans donâ t care what the rest of the world thinks. I agree that we donâ t really care, at least not anymore. Continue reading America the Hated.
