Second worse month in many years. 2 tiddlers $40.03 gross. CTR remaining good though, 1.03. I feel like I've fallen off a cliff!

My cleared balance finally went back to $53 overnight.

I was $53 cleared and went down to $30, today jumped to $46. It'd be nice if the $53 re-appeared, so I'd at least get a small payout.

With that humpy back, my first thought was that it is a Robber Fly - at least that's the common name for them in Australia. Seems you do get them in UK. Carniverous eaters, and I sense it's eyeing off the green bug for dinner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asilidae

Love this tale Sally! If you've ever been to Bali, you've no doubt paid for a "fish spa". And you got one for free!

Going back through old RAWs, now the 2 "C"s have me unable to use the camera or dive. Love to be reminded of why I like to be underwater. Here is a smaller female pufferfish on the left, blowing debris away from a patch of substrate prior to laying her eggs, The larger male is lurking right behind her to ensure he's the one to fertlise them. The whole laying/fertilising is over in a split second and I've never been able to catch it. Something to hope for in the future perhaps!

My late Mum used to work there (before I was born - so pre 1950/51). As we left UK when I was 8, I don't think I've ever seen it before.

Thanks Gen. I am finding a few "gems" and remembering so many good dives too. It makes me even more determined to get through this and dive again.

I can't use the camera right now, so going back though old images. Love these goatfish, which are usually almost white, but turn bright pink to attract the services of a cleaner wrasse.

My three Mum and Dad clownfish tending to the next generation Mumma Magpie Lark sitting her two babies. There's a story here. One of these chicks came out of the nest too soon and could not fly. The nest was next door. My hubby went and rescued the baby and we put it in a hanging plant pot in line with the nest, hoping the parents would tend to it. Parents came and fed it each day and we kept it inside in a crate at night to save it from being a snack for the neighbourhood cats. It survived and re-joined the second chick when they fledged. They hung around our yar
