CyclingDiver: This Week, Then
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2015/06/this-week-then.html
Saturday, 13 June 2015. This Week, Then. On the plus side, I finally managed to do this. So at least I have a free cappuchino to console my woes. I am not entirely sure that the universe is playing fair. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Back in the Sea. This Week, Then. The Terror of Space. Gardening; home ownership.

CyclingDiver: The Terror of Space
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-terror-of-space.html
Sunday, 7 June 2015. The Terror of Space. I was reading this article. On people signing up for the Mars One expedition; a one-way trip to Mars. I cannot imagine anything much more terrifying. The article describes the selection process for people wanting to take part. I do wonder if any part of it (yeah, you know this is coming) involved asking "Have you done any scuba diving? Worth it just for the hilarious illustrations), it may well be safer than being in a car. Note: this is not the ideal way to end ...

CyclingDiver: February 2015
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 February 2015. I've kept my Lent vows for the past week, of reading five verses every day. So far I'm reading Psalms. Some time ago I started at Genesis, and on various occasions have read through enough to get to Psalms. At this rate I'll reach the New Testament sometime in the next decade. No of times God orders the Israelites to slaughter an entire people, down to their children and animals = 2". This chapter should be noted for the exceptionally bloody bride price King David paid for his...

CyclingDiver: May 2015
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 25 May 2015. My Life Depends on Tiny Bits of Rubber. A picture of my regular, a Scubapro MK2. So, I went on an Equipment Servicing course yesterday at the dive shop. As is the way of these things, it was held on one of the most sunny days of the year, but we couldn't have known that when we booked it! So, I can now take my scuba mask apart and wash it, which has hopefully got the mould off it. Tonight, I shall learn if I can put it back together again. Saturday, 16 May 2015. Saturday, 9 May 2015.

CyclingDiver: Got My Pills
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2015/06/got-my-pills.html
Saturday, 20 June 2015. Things are better since my last post. I have successfully obtained my pills, meaning that the floor is now where I expect it to be. Losing your sense of balance is a side-direction of sudden SSRI-drug withdrawal. It is exactly as much fun as it sounds. Is written all over your wavering face. Anyway, the magic happy pills are back in the medicine chest, I'm back in the sea, and all is well with the world. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Back in the Sea. This Week, Then.

CyclingDiver: November 2014
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 November 2014. A Tour Around the Hat. So, the decompression dive! A fun day out, which began by trying on the Siebe-Gorman deep-sea commercial diving gear. This is the big brass helmet that everyone pictures when you say "deep sea diving", and was used by the Royal Navy until around 1980. There is a excellent reason they don't use it any more; it's incredibly. Saturday, 15 November 2014. I've Done This For Real.". Hyperbaric chambers are known as "pots" by divers, after one of the most famous;...

CyclingDiver: March 2015
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 March 2015. Closed, Normal Service Resumes Very Shortly. I'm off for the weekend to go hang out with Unitarians, this blog resumeth next week. My predictions about last weekend were mostly right. Everyone enjoyed it hugely, but. well. Munchkin is the kind of game where you end up having conversations several days later which involve the phrase "You KILLED me and STRIPPED MY CORPSE even of cards you weren't meant to steal! Whilst the other party looks guiltily at their feet. So, Games Day Then.

CyclingDiver: Narked by Cold?
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2015/05/narked-by-cold.html
Saturday, 16 May 2015. My buddy, finding Thunderbird Four. I distinctly remember having a second or so's brain space to think "Hmm. This isn't working out how I planned" in the middle of the "Well, shit, what now? Was it exertion and cold causing a slight form of narcosis, or was it slight hypothermia? No way of knowing, but an issue to be aware of; that would be more of a problem if we were in the North Sea needing to get back to the ascent point, and then climb back into a boat.

Sunday, 25 January 2015. The Tales We Keep Telling, 10: Injecting in the Kitchen. He lived in the house around the same time as my now ex-landlord who, towards the end of my stay there, moved back into the house with his girlfriend. (He then sold the house, which is why I left.) I wandered downstairs into the kitchen (that's always where funny things happen), and encountered him and his girlfriend, with him injecting something into her stomach. You know we're going on holiday soon? Yes, it's another tale...

CyclingDiver: July 2015
http://cyclingdiver.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 11 July 2015. Time for a Break. I'm not going to be updating this blog on a weekly basis after this week. Which is not to say that I won't ever update it again, but I really need to be doing more cycling and diving to make it worthwhile. So, see you here in future again I hope, but only once I have more stories to tell! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Time for a Break. Gardening; home ownership. The tales we keep telling.
