Here Goes Jos.

I see we have a newbie since I left for my hols. Welcome to the boards Mary. We are all completely mad here you know.

Diana. We gad AC in the hotel so it was cool to sleep. No AC here just ceiling fans.

I am glad I am not in Texas right now. Poor John, you must be frying. Annie B.

Someone decided to have a nose at the cam

Jake appears

Found some visitors at the gate. Is that the BT flag he's holding up. The critters are enjoying a fuss being made of them too. Annie B.

Annie and Terri, I wonder if that is Julia at the gate with the BT flag. She said she was going to hold it up!

More visitors...

Hmmmm.........

Cynde, maybe so.

Welcome back Annie B.

Well her sign says "Julia", so I guess it's her

Hi Jos, Cynde, Terri, Mery, John, Annie, Eileen, Martine, Diana, Martin... Did I forget anybody?

There might be divers coming!

Here we go.

By jove Cynde, I think it is Julia. I have lost track of who is out there.

Dive boat is here.

Hi Igor.

You must be awake today. The Julia thing I mean.

Diver!!!


Terri, the last time I checked I was awake

I really do need new glasses.

I knew I wasn't going to be fast enough to get that diver posted. I logged in to see what was happening and was surprised to see a diver. Too bad the sign is too small to read.....and what's with the hood? Wimp.

LOL We're doubling all the way.......
GMTA Terri & Annie

Igor ,

not a hairpulling thing but : How do you check you are awake???

sjos

Hi Michael!
I learned from Cynde it has nothing 2 do with being a wimp, it takes care of the exploding hair-factor ( yeah right... )

John, the kitchen thermometer now shows 45.5 ° and I am melting like would be an ice cream in the Sahara desert...

Is it diving time ? I bet yes.

Now that I went back up through the postings.... yep, that's Julia and her husband (Bob if memory serves). We met them along with Jake, Linda and several others at 'It Rains Fishes' about a year ago. If it's not them, then they have twins.

Jos,
I ring my doorbell. If I open the door I'm awake... u should know

What happened with my pic :o(

Good morning/afternoon Jos, Cynde, Terri, Mery, John, Annie, Eileen, Martine, Diana, Martin and Igor...thanks for catching all the names, Igor..I could just cut and paste LOL! I think that was a bait ball on the last page, Annie...here's a few scattered fishies! Did you get bit by the aggressive little chub like me?

Oops, sorry folks, I double posted my pic as it appeared as a red cross in a blank frame, but it showed anyway.

Igor ,
just to funny!!1
I always have somebody calling me on the phone to tell me he rang my doorbell and I didn't open the door so I was not awake . Usually followed by the question to open the door to see if the doorbell is still there!!

Sjosss

ROFL Jos

Hi Barbara! Where would we be without cut/copy/paste...

Hi Barbara. You just reminded me. There were hundreds of fish swimming round us, and when I stood in the water to cool off they came and nibbled on my ankles. I jumped out of my skin screeching and everyone laughed at me. Funny, they didn't seem to go for anyone else, only me.

Martine. You must be fried by now. I cannot believe this heat. How are you keeping cool? Annie B.

This would be a good place to cool off.

Martine: move slowly or not!!!

Cynde: plant is alive

Annie B: must be nice ankles then

Michael: so hood equals wimp? Good thing to know ;-)

ROFL Annie, I just imagine you.
Who told you I am keeping cool ? I never keep cool, ask Jean Paul :o)

Question of the day...is Cynde still talking to herself? Diver!

Hey Martine - sorry to hear about the heat. For those of us who aren't metric literate, 45.5C translates to just shy of 114F. On the other hand, we've been blessed with a very cool week so far. Cool enough that I haven't even had to turn on the air conditioner!

Annie, how would have you managed if it were an octopus ? Aha !

Sounds like little love pecks from the fishies you got there Annie...I was cleaning up a bait bag someone had left behind in the water and the little bugger took a real bite out of my little finger! They're back

I got an idea, next time I am going to the US I'll buy a fahrenheit thermometer :o) I am not kidding.

Looks like the Darth Vader mask in the 11:54 LOL

Martine, maybe Jos will e-mail you the table he got for temp conversions!

Fishes

Martine - sorry to hear about the heat - I wish I could blow the weather that we are having across the Atlantic!!!
Mary

Fishies

Here is a link to a very easy to use conversion webiste! http://www.allmeasures.com/temperature.html

Martine. If I were an octopus, I would still end up without a leg to stand on. LOL.

Visitors
Almost made that fish circle a triple! Looks like some kind of gathering there, making fish plans for the day?

A little more gate action here.

Hey michael ; SEE what happens if you don't wear a hood??
Hair explosion!!!

Lots of visitors...

Beautifull canoo !!

love to be there now.
sjos

Jos, I am still not packed and leaving in less than 48 hours...would you give me a work excuse, please? Are you sure that is not your dinghy? LOL

Jos, hair explosion will never happen to Jean Paul, neither Martin :o)) .

Barbara,
I use this one :

http://www.albireo.ch/temperatureconverter/

I must admit , ( you know I hate to do that ) yours is way bigger and more technical, and more , and more and ....

sjos

barbara, now you've done it!!

I said before : all you need is a hawaiian grass skirt , a "hawaiian" flowered top and a string of flowers around your neck and a BIG red flower in your hair!!
So , ... who needs packing?

sjoske

Okay, now that we have two temp converter links, there will be no more confusion over the temp in any part of Jos' globe! LOL

Well, Jos, I do have the fins, masks and snorkel packed, so (and I hate to admit it ) you must be right! LOL

Jos, thanks for the link, I just had it fixed on my desktop, will be very helpful.
Barbara, what's the help of packing when most ( all ) of the airlines regularly loose your bagage ? Jos is right.

Barb.

I'll make it easy...swim suit, toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, brush, two pair of shorts, three t-shirts, underwear, tennis shoes, sandals, tickets, identification and MONEY.

Do this and you are ready to go.

Thanks for all the help everyone! And don't forget the CAMERA and credit card for when the cash runs low

New thread time Thursday, Part 3

Lunch time on Bonaire...
Time to think about dinner here. Tonight : calamari fritti in garlic and parsley and cooked apricots in vanilla cream, and of course, cold rosé ;o)
