Good morning. I know some Europeans are awake. (Maybe they are afraid of us now...) I am headed to bed. Could the world please get a grip while I'm asleep?

Hay niki ,
Its not you that scare me , its that early morning glance in the mirror when I brush my teeth !!!
Saddam eat your heart out .
sjosss

sjossie, flossie for the teeth, and all will be well.

Glad to have a cross-planet chat, because I'm always out of sync with the posts... Look at my Oregon pics in CChat...

Goodmorning Niki and Jos ...
We're not really afraid I think Niki .. :o)
Although it's sad things have to work out this way .. it's all pretty weird, unnecessary imo ..
Let's hope it's all over soon ..
Maybe these people need to chill at Bon more often, so to see what life's about ...
Make dives, not war ...

Still dark at the cams ...

Hi Olaf, I look at your profile pic and have a big smile. I can just feel that exact feeling where you were. The air, the water, all of it. May 24, here I come.

It seems I was in the wrong thread, here a copy of my post;
Goog morning all,
Well, as I told yesterday, today is a harsh day in France due to the railways strike. I went to the railway station, waited around 45 minutes and no train coming. The platform was so crowded, it was impossible to try to approach. I finally called the airport and said I've better stay home.Hiya ! Well, I won't loose that day, I'm going to to some food shopping to the chinese district. We'll have sushi tonight for dinner :o)
I dare not imagine how it will be around 6pm for the return work rush... have a nice day, catch you later.

Olaf, I feel unfair from you to post such a picture :o) !
Good chances we are at the same place doing the same thing in june.

Salut Martine, I still haven't gone to sleep. Sushi sounds great. Better than a frustrating day fighting a railway strike. Are we overlapping in June?

Martine .. I'm trying to book a trip around the Rincon festivities .. though I'm not yet sure if that's April 30th .. but anywayz, end of April it 'll be ..

I'll post a few other pics from that trip ..

Gnite Niki ..

Good morning, all.
And good night. I'm just heading for bed.
YAWN!

Just a smidge of daylight showing to the south

Okay, I'm gone.

Bye bye Dan et salut Nikki,
I have got everything to prepare the sushis, Mmmmm!
We usually assist the Bonaire dive festival when we are going in june. Jake, we are impatient to compete for digital pictures or movies. Will it be allowed this year ? I am sure last year we would have been primed with our whale shark shots :o)
I must first have my vacations fixed with Air France, but it might be second part of june.
Must return to the shop, I forgot the avocado :o( (essential for the vegetarian sushi)

Sun is rising ...




Still busy upping my pics Martine ..

Good morning everyone. Looks like some gardening going on across the way.

And an unenthusiastic baitball.

Hi John, looks like M38 star cluster...
Let's go back to the store for that advocado :o)

Yes, get that avocado, Martine. An essential ingredient. When I lived in Florida we had avocado orchards all around us. Can't get good ones this time of year up north here--at least at a reasonable price. Now you've got me thinking about guacamole.

Meanwhile a boat is on scene.

Looks like a little activity in the water around the boat, and a front door arrival.

Looks like bubbles moving toward reefcam.

Hey, Satchmo, can you get any closer?

Visitors.

Can't read their signs on my monitor.

Yes, I wish I were there, also.

A fly-by. They finally made it.

Yum, yum, guacamole... why not next dinner.
Ok I have got all the ingredients, I am ready now and I will start a very risky mission : roll the sushis :o)
I let you know what they look like.
Nice shot og Stachmo, but still squatting Jean Paul's puter, hard to get both the cam and the talk. Must get mine back tonight.

Hey, check out that blonde.

Well, looks like everyone's gone. I've got to cut out, too. Bye 'til later.

One quick one as I go out the door.

Good afternoon all!
I'm back..........
I hope I will have the time 2 post on a regular basis again!
I hope u're all doing fine.
The view is still as beautiful as ever...

I sure missed those colors...

Igor !!!!! Welcome back, we missed you.

Igor .. da man !
Alles goed ?

Martine .. see my profile, for a link to a few pics from last october/november ...
Tomorrow I'll be trying to book a new trip for late April ... moehaha, I'm already in the Bon mood ...

Hey! where'd he come from?

Didn't see any boat.

Hi Olaf,
Just went through your pictures. You are very talented. Really enjoyed them. I liked the way you took several of the pictures showing the coral on the ground.
Bye,
Ida

Oh my, I don't think i'm very well today. I carried on talking to myself of the thread that Jos started this morning, and didn't realize that this one was active. I guess it will pay me to wear my glasses in future. I think i'l just go dig myself a hole and crawl into it. LOL Annie B.

Bubble car.

Did catch a visitor, however.


Good morning, everyone. Did manage to struggle out of bed this morning, even though it was a very late night for me (uh, early morning??).

How was the sushi, Martine? Did you get the avocado?

Talk about expensive! They're about $2.25 apiece here. Needless to say, we don't eat many at this time of year.

Well, that was not a visitor. I seem to be having problems keeping my pictures straight. Let's try this one.

Okay. The day has started. I am at the office, and my coworkers are casting strange glances at me. Like, "when are you going to get to work?" So, I guess I'd better do it.

Have a nice day, all.
Will check in about my lunch time.

Couldn't pass up this tail shot, however.

Hi Dan, Don't work too hard. Annie B.

I jumped threads. Hereeeeee's Charlotte

GMTA. Think i'll go crawl in that hole. LOL

The sushis are on the table with a nice cold rose wine bottle. Yum... Desert will be a fesh mango with strawberries.
Time for dinner, catch you later.

In for a minute. Nice sailing shot. Don't know if there are or will be divers from the moored boat.

Almost all of charlotte--and probably a double post to boot.

Good-by boat, and good-bye for me, too.

One little fishy off in the blue

And probably a good night from me too. Sushis were pretty good, not even one left.
Jean Paul came back home with 3 DVD ( old peplum movies ), so I think i am going to bed while watching at "the fall of the roman empire " nice cast ( Sophia Loren,Stephen Boyd, Alec Guinness, John Ireland etc, etc ). Will wake up speaking latin. Ave, Lutecia te salutat. Sorry, I don't recall haw to say goodnight ( more than 40 years I studied latin...). Wish tomorow I'll have my own puter, Jean paul wants his now.

OLaf...Terrific pictures!!

and goodnight Martine!

It's funny saying goodnight to people, now that I 'm back up and active... but... belles reves a Martine. (Sweet dreams.) (Can't find my French dictionary to check gender of reve, also accents ...) :-)

Actually I made it back after lunch, not before. If you check back in, Martine, glad to know that the sushi was good. Wish I had been there to enjoy it with you.

Pretty sunset. Haven't seen it "naturally haloed" (as opposed to Annie's creative art-style) before.

And hereby tuesday's closed, see y'all tomorrow !!
