I will bring the coffee, tea, cappucino, expresso or what ever you like around this morning.
Nice to start a thread, it has been a while since I was able to.
In Bon it is still dark (my system still agrees more with that time, but this night was a first night with some good sleep...)

What a good new ! Good morning Diana.
I had some difficulties to fall asleep yesterday and I talked with Annie and Mary till quite late in the night. I just woke up :o) Coffee please ?

Good morning Martine! Here comes your coffee I saw your insomnia in yesterdays thread! Good that you have a day off...

Morning ladies, for a change I'll have a double espresso extra strong with a touch of mocca.

Martine , I think you're not the only one who stayed up late

Diana , good for you that the jetlag is wearing off.
Couple of years ago whe suffered severe jetlag coming home from our honeymoon on Dominican Republic.
Was worth it though;-).

sjossss

"Good" morning Jos,
What (or maybe who?) kept you from falling asleep?
The double espresso is coming your way

Good morning Jos,
If I remember well returning from your last trip to Curacao, Amber was "suffering" a strong jetlag while you, Dad and Mom just wanted to sleep :o)
How is you little family ?
Diana ( and other )when on the place you usually need the same number of days than the hours time difference to perfectly recover: 6 days for six hours time difference for example. Imagine Australia or Tahiti for us !
It's always easier to bear going westward that eastward. I think now the harder is behind you Diana :o)

Good Morning Everyone. Well, it is raining again over here. 4 days now. My husband got rid of our mushrooms in the backyard last night and now they are back! Work is busy so it will be an early drive in. I am looking forward to Sunday, my only day of the week off for the next little while. I hope everyone is well this morning (besides tired...)

Diana, trust me , nobody is keeping me from falling asleep, it's the waking up in between that's wearing me out.

Martine , the little family is doing fine , thank you.
You are right about the jetlag thing, going eastward is the real sleepcrusher!
It is the same with workshift rotation schedule's : staying up 8 hours later is easier than going to bed 8 hours earlier.

Wow eileen , six days work week ??? Back to the 50's on working rules???

( to get back on topic : guess what ????)



sjossss

I know Jos, but it will only be until December and they are 1/2 days. We did this last year. It is completely voluntary but the money will come in handy for a trip I have in mind . We get paid overtime $$ and my gas mileage will be covered (enough gas $$ to last me for the week!). So it will be worth it.

Anyway, I wish you all a great day today. I look forward to seeing the morning colours!

Morning Eileen,
I understand you and Sjos regarding alter worked time. I have been doing that for 27 years at Air France ( get up three mornings at 3 or 4 AM, return home three evening at 3 or 4 AM or work three whole night and sleep when you can on your days off. Work on week ends, Xmas, Easter etc. I can't do it anymore. I still work on week ends but on fixed schedules ( 11 AM till 06.30 PM )
Daylight is breaking :o)

So, according to Martine I have still a couple of days to get rid off the Jet-lag feeling!
Daylight is switched on in Bon:


Jos, Broken nights are as terrible as a jet-lag!

Eileen, good luck at work, glad that I do not need to work in the weekends, or nights (as some of the others have to do once in a while).

Got to go to a meeting, be back later. Don't do things that I wouldn't do!

(one quick post before going to the meeting)

Good morning (afternoon) everyone! Mandy is up and about!

LaDonna

Morning LaDonna, nice to have you back :o)
Need to go for some shopping now.

Some fish activity

Hi Diana. Hi Martine.It is a lovely warm day, and I have been to the garden center for plants, so now I have to go and garden. Diana, glad you got some sleep at last. Annie B.

Hi Annie, glad to hear from you. I was wondering where you were.
Need to go to the chemist's and see how he could help me, I'll see my homeopath next week :o)
Do you see the plane ? I think it's a real one. Seems to be Divi Divi airlines... but I am not sure.

Thanks Annie B. How are you feeling today, less tired then yesterday?
Have fun gardening. The weather over here is also nice (lucky, because we have BBQ with work later on)

sailboat

LaDonna

Divers soon ?
Hi Barb, time to go to work ?

someone is cleaning the camera....I think!!!!!

LaDonna

What's that ? USO ? ( Unidentifiyed Swimming Object ) I would be nice from you, unknown diver, if you could clean the cam !!!

I think this is a camera. Do you have any suggestion ?

I'm guessing a camera as well
LaDonna

It is the back of a digital camera...The diver has it pointed away from the cam. The silver buttons are control buttons on the back of the camera Nice camera...

Ok, Cynde...now can you explain why???? wouldn't you want to get the pic WITH the cam not just from the cam perspective???
LaDonna

Actually I think they are trying to show us a picture on the camera screen!!!! Too bad it isn't clearer!!!
LaDonna

Maybe a donkey??????
LaDonna

Divers are back again

LaDonna

Martine...are you sure you aren't in Bonaire???That diver looks like you!

LaDonna

time for a new thread
LaDonna

LaDonna, I wish it would be true, but unfortunately, I can assure you I am in Paris. It is 09.15 PM and I am going to bed very shortly ( reading a while and then have a good night sleep ).
Some nice jewels for you.

Can't believe this pic escaped to your sagacity...

posted it on the new thread....so it didn't escape you think I would miss something as important as a message to one of us???? ;)
LaDonna

LaDonna

You were correct it was a donkey on my camera. I did not know how it would stand out.

That was my wife Sue in front of the reef cam.

Now we are back home till the next trip.
