Hail to the Hive!

First off, apologies. I believe this may be the longest i have been away from the #hive since I first began wayyyy back. But with family illnesses,upheaval in the job department, loads of travel and just that thing they call life, I got a wee bit distracted.

And then as the months tick by and you try and jump back in it becomes difficult to know when, what , where and how you should recommence.

So after 2 pots of coffee on the narrowboat this morning and then clearing a ton of monotonous work bullshit, I suddenly felt motivated.

I think it was because the morning workload was so dull, tedious and unrewarding I felt the urge to take the bull by the horns and take back a bit of control and do something i actually enjoy for a few hours.

Way up on that list was getting back into the hive groove and there was only ever going to be one way i was going to return and that was here in the awesome #blackandwhite community and a touch of #monomad

Early on in my job shift when I ditched working down in Devon and went full on with working for the Scuba Diving Agency, I had to do a mini tour of some dive shops in the UK. These pics were taken while on that little trip. I was already seeing a post with them and wandered off to snap a few shots.

If they do nothing else but get me back into gear and back on the posting then they will have been more useful than I would have imagined at the time i was snapping them.

Good to be back

Cos I do

Love a bit of #monomad 😜

Things got a bit crazy. Mum wasn’t well and I went full time with the dive agency which sent me on a trip arount the Uk then a week in Cypris a week back on the boat 2 weeks in india a week back on the boat and then a trip to ireland. Head is still spinning. I’m toying with the idea of doing a side post of a daily journal to keep me disciplined with posting. Not sure. I miss it so trying to figure out a better way.
