It is a powerful force and you are only mortal. </p> Yes,yes,but the important things is did you score with the tempting kick that you took.

We’d like to see a bit of the rainforest so it might just be a couple of days in Cairns to get the Open Water course done on the reef. Should be looking forward to it, although I’ve heard it can get pretty busy. </p> <p> <strong>ior3k</strong> - It’s cold, but not as cold as the UK, so it wasn’t too bad. Apparently, my brother told me, the sea was a lot warmer than the pool we were in. Like you said, maybe December was a bad month to learn :) </p> Damien – We’ll be heading up to Cairns and surrounding area for about a week before flying on to Sydney.

Dude!!! We’re not worthy! ;) </p> <p> Seriously, I hope your wrist recovers fully from the accident, and yes, the water temperature can get pretty nasty around here (until you get used to it, that is). </p> <p> But now that I think of it, I wouldn’t quite choose December to try the Atlantic Ocean… </p> Wow, one of my favorite bloggistas comes to my country and even busts his wrist here!

Nasty. </p> <p> Hopefully you’ll be on form for snowboarding. I did my ankle in recently, and found that ultrasound was quite useful… or was it that placebo thing :) </p> Unlucky re the wrist.
