Goodmorning everybody,
I know most of you are still sleeping, but are you ready to start a new week ? I am just starting mine too, and I woke up with a bright sun. They say it will last the whole week ( Annie, and Joost, you are concerned too ). Still a little bit chilly in the morning ( close to zero ), but nice and warm n the afternoon. My puter is still down, and Jean Paul didn't stop to reload Windows program from yesterday morning. Should be allright tonight or tomorrow. I'm still squatting his, but I am unable to read my emails... Well, have a very nice monday, it is just five days to wait till the next week end.

Good morning martine,
I hope you had a pleasant weekend ,?1
How are your legs ? Feeling a bit tired from all this biking?
Yesterday I went on a "little stroll" with my daughter , spend 2 hours walking in the woods nearby our house.
Hey look at his moon , second time I see it today.

Happy St. Patrick's day everybody. Good morning Olaf, long time no see. Howya doin'? Annie B.

Here's an early morning visitor bringing some good luck.

Martine. I hope your computer is up and running again soon. Annie B.

A fishy one.

Morning everyone My ideal mondaymorning: sitting at City's with a great capucino behind an internet terminal (with decent speed) and a view of the ocean outside the window... Sorry, didn't mean to make you all jealous... [evil grin]

Sounds really nice Marc! Just a little jealous ;-)

Great Capture Annie B.


Does everyone have there green on today?

Good Morning all. Great Fishy picture this AM..


We got our housing in last Friday for our Digital Video camera.....I can't wait......It will be a great trip taping EVERY dive we do....LOLOLOL

Hiyas ...

Thou shallt be envied Marc ...
Jos .. although my title says I'm experienced, I've got no clou somethings going on between 4-18 april ... ask Marc, he's a local nowadays .. :o)

Annie ... how's you doing .. haven't been able to read all postings lately, I really have to work :o( .. I even sometimes forget to get me some coffee .. but how are things working out at the hospital ??

Just found out I've got 57 days "off" left ... so, I'm considering selling a few to the boss, and have another Bonaire trip in April .. right around the Rincon festive .. (which is .. april 30th ??, am I correct ??)

I'll have to make more time to be out here ...

Olaf. The treatment is finished, and she doesn't have to go back for three months. Coping well here really. Thanks for asking. Very quiet on the cams so far today. Annie B.

Too cool Annie....

Olaf, that would be cool. Hope you can do that.

Good morning, everyone. Sounds like good weather for most of you. Right now, its snowing in Juneau, but the forecast is mixed rain and snow or just rain all week. whoopie.

Looks the boats are starting to line up; unfortunately, I can't stick around and see if any divers materialize. Work calls.



Have a good day! Martine, I hope you had a good day. Have a good dinner and evening.

Cat's leaving. Maybe the other will bring some divers.

Very nice to hear Annie ...
Hope things 'll turn out for the best ..
I just sold a s***load of days back to the boss, so it'll most probably happen ... have to see if there's any availability during April's last week.
Does anyone when exactly the party's going on in Rincon ?? I believe it was April 30th, but I'm not sure ..

Fish drive by...

And a Happy St. Patricks Day to all...Great pics Annie, I was wondering if they celebrated on Bonaire! ;-) I have a very busy day ahead so won't be peeking in much! Have a great day! Looking forward to some more of the same great photos....

Hi Barbara and of course all others, we don't know St.Patricksday here, what kind of celebration is that one?

Marianne,

St. Patrick was born in Ireland around 390 AD. He became a monk. Legend says that he drove all the snakes out of Ireland. He used the clover to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity. Thus the references to clover and the green of Ireland.

Or was that Joost??

There's quite a good history of St. Patrick and all connected with him at:

http://www.historychannel.com/cgi-bin/frameit.cgi?p=http%3A//www.historychannel.com/exhibits/stpatricksday/main.html

Suggest you just copy and paste that long thing into your browser!

thanks Dan, actually it was Joost sorry for the misunderstanding
Joost

here is some odd diving action

Here's a new visitor!

Whoops! That was the wrong one! Let's try this one instead

Okay, gang, I'm at work, so I think I'd best be getting at it. Have a good day. I'll check in again later, and see all the neat posts that I've missed.

Well, this is later, but there's no new posts. Must be a very quiet day on the cams.

Hi all, back from work,
How silly I am, I forgot to wish you a nice St Patrick this morning, especially when in France we commeromrate one Saint per day ( mine is january 30st ). Thanks for the explanation of what St patrick did, I didn't know about the snakes.
Tomorrow will be a harsh day for us, the railways and metros will be on strike ( typically french, isn't it :o) ). This time they are claiming for retirement new project... Still sqatting Jean Paul's puter, but it seems it will be OK tonight. Time for dinner now. Oh, I forgot to say I worked bare armed on the tarmac this afternoon. Catch you later, I feel too hungry.

Yes very slow today. Here's one from the archives.

Actually, the story of driving the snakes out of Ireland is just that--a story. There has never been any snakes in Ireland, so I understand. Some people claim the "snakes" were "heathens" (i.e., non-Christians) that St. Patrick converted to Christianity.

But, hey! Makes for a good story.

And it is lunch time for me, so I'm going to go lunch. Still quiet on the cams.

And it is bed time here. So have a nice lunch Dan, nice dinner on Atlantic coast and good night all. Olaf, happy to hear of you back. I am falling asleep. Nighty nite. My puter seems to be Ok, woohoo, thanks my Darling ( while Jean paul is repairing, he is not snoring :o) ). Let's refresh my beauty ( I need it after that bike ride ). Catch you tomorrow. Once more, good night all.

Olaf. Let us know if you have any luck getting a flight booked. Tell when you are going and we shall watch for you again. Lucky you. Annie B.

A couple of fishes that got missed.



Martine. Glad your puter is fixed. I did my favorite trick and fell asleep again, now I am awake. I feel more tired lately than when I was at work. LOL

Dug these out from the archives. Annie B.

Gosh, Iwas falling asleep, and once in bed, turned, and turned, till I decided to come back with you. Annie, seems you are awake too. Puter nearly fixed, still squatting J.P's one, but hubby sleeping (and NOT snoring...fot the moment ).

Good Evening! Martine, I am glad that your puter is almost fixed, and I know how you feel with hubby's snoring. I'll be on for a bit, then over to the neighbours for some Bailey's (It's Irish )

Hi Martine. Hi Eileen. We don't normally see you here this time of our night. LOL. I just mad a sunset animation but it looks a bit strange to me. Annie b.

Hard for me to get both images and BT from JP's puter. Eileen, send some bailey's here, I suddenly feel Irish, and to tell the truth, my origins are celtic. Annie, we are cousins !

Hello Annie B! I'm usually not here (in spirit though ). There is always, dinner, visiting, laundry and housework, or something of that sort to do at night. Maybe I'll win the millions this week and retire early! Bonaire trips for everyone!

My name is Irish! (German background though, Germans like to drink beer, see I'm related too LOL) My car is green too!

ok...so maybe i pour a little bailey's over my lucky charms;)

yuck

(the lucky charms)

whatever,

10 more days;)

Eileen, No, If anyone of us win the million, we go there to live. LOL.

Martine, So we are related??? LOL

Sorry for the delay in posting. Computer has caught Martine's bug I think.

I wouldn't do that Bob, it'll make em all sticky. LOL. Annie B.

Much better to drink it.

I think our lotto Super 7 is up too 19 million (I think...) we can buy a part of the island! With all the Bailey's we want! (My husband is reminding me now that I have a little more time. He has work to do for work )

My name means "man from wood" or something like that. I didn't say "Robin Hood" but who knows if my grand grand grand grand grand grand grand grand Pa wan't Brother Tuck ( cause woga woga). Hem, well thinking, it can't be, but Robin's team was great. I am not kidding, I truly have celtic roots from my father and... flemish from my mother. Joost, Jos, Olaf, we are cousins too. Jake, can I emigrate and be your permanent cam cleaner ?

Eileen. Buy a ticket for me. We will kick the neighbourghs out down the beach, and knock down the brick wall. What ya think. Annie B. (dream on gal)

Martine. How you find out all that stuff. Goodness knows what my name means, I dread to think. My daddy was Canadian. That's all I know. I applied for cam cleaner job last year. I just gotta learn to dive. LOL Annie B.

Annie, go to a baby names site. My name mean 'light', it is the Irish form of Helen (Greek).

If I win the million, you could all fly to my place in the summer for a BBQ (I pay of course). I have plenty of sleeping space! We can dream...

Annie, that's what my dad and mom told me since I was a tiny little girl, and celtic music gives me the creeps, isn't that a proof ? And I can't stand making a remake of Titanic ( "Jack, I am flying" ) each time I dive on a wreck LOL ( but that is true too )

Well, hubby needs the computer. Hugs for everyone
Good Night everyone! See you in the morning

Eileen. I can just imagine how we would just be in fits of laughter all the time. Annie B.

Eileen, that would be a great idea, but as we are flying very cheep, we'll pay for our tickets. Keep the money for somebody else.

One more, True!

OK, sounds good Martine! You'll have cheap lodging at my house too!

I am talking serious, why couldn't we meet alltogether on Bonaire, one day ? I think I am going to bed now. Still there Annie

Martine I am still here, but I think it is time for my bed too.

OK, last post, hubby's waiting. We probably could meet on Bonaire one day. Wonderful idea. Goodnight Martine, Annie and everyone!

Warm hugs to you Eileen and Annie. Good night both cousins !

Night night Eileen and Martine. See you tomorrow. Annie
