hi all
i wouldnt reccommend going to portland bill over the next few days, unless you want to take up extreme surfing!! both east and west side were extremly rough! cracking food in the lobster pot as usual thou )
 
Finally got a date for them to drill my sinusus! NHS timelag:head 26th March...at least not to far into the season.:crutch
Fear, did they drill yours? Was it as bad as it sounds?
 
S/S I’ve got a mate that had his snout done only they didn’t drill it they burnt it out with some sort of red-hot poker. Hehehehe rofl
 
No drilling thank goodness...sounds serious! Good luck with the op mate, you should be back in the water just at the right time!

I had no surgery at all. Apparently I had an ear bend (damage to the inner ear on the left side). It caused major disorientation as I couldn't even stand up when it happened and I was yakking violently! It has repaired itself over time luckily but it meant that I had to stay out of the water for a lot of last season.

Incidently i'm reading a book given to me by Will written by Umberto Pelizzari. I'm certainly learning a lot to try and ensure it doesn't happen again! Well worth a read if you haven't read it already.
 
Podger you're a bugger! :mute :naughty red hot poker indeed two-gun tex!:martial
Ben, that was lucky for you...the thought makes me cringe...will have a look at some Umberto scribings, as Glowworm knows....I am more than keen to sort it out as I often would be man down with pain and squeels which would even sometimes effect me when flying.
 
Nice one Brett and I do wish you all the best and am looking forward to seeing you again soon hopefully with all your ears and nose in full working order.
 
Good news about the operation being before the season starts Surfnspear.If work keeps me this busy it will be the new season in no time.

Dog not going to training yet as the mad thing broke a toe running around the garden like a nutter..

There you go its learnt its first lesson, if you run around the garden like a nutter it makes your foot hurt.rofl
Hope it’s not to bad and the vet didn’t bend you over the barrel to deep.
 
Visited the coast for some fresh air at the weekend. Took the rods & just went for a walk around. Visited Studland, which was surprisingly calm but the water was murkey. It was warmer & sunnier than inland. The beach was surprisingly busy this far out of season (the tide was in, so the beach was small).

Also swung down to Durlston Head & Tilly Whim. Tilly Whim was rough & quite busy. Breaking waves were splashing up near the top of the bottom tier (maybe 30').
 
A few of you guys know Rowan. Well he has been doing some winter training in Barbados last week...BUGGER!!:head

Picked up my wetsuit long johns from the nice people @ O'Three today.I asked them to put a knife pocket on the right thigh,shorten the shoulder straps and add some neoprene to the soles of my booties.What a job they did if only they made apena suits as well.The knife pocket was inspired by Rowan(2 mentions in as many posts for the lad) and it was nice to see Buster Lung also.

And an update on the new dog he got bitten by a jack russell two weeks ago and needed 5 stiches so he is still grounded:head

Looks like they did a nice job on the suit and boots, at least now you'll only have to replace knives after each dive rather than knife and holder! I'm going to give my kit the once over next weekend and see what the damage is going to be before the season really kicks off...
 
All right gents of Dorset, went in for a look yesterday with Almost and Stuckinsurrey the results of which were-
One stuck under a rock Lobster Pot
And a very pleasant swim in unusually warm water with as yet no fish.
Bryn once again Thankyou for a spot on breakfast.

 
Methinks the mild winter we had might just allow those fish to come back in a little earlier with the quicker warming up of the water.
P.S Glowworm, I have a new edition to the family, and you know what he's going to specialise in retrieving!
6 months old Shaka.
