Scuba Diving in Sharm El Sheikh Egypt

Pin It

I'm back after a fantastic scuba diving holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
We did our PADI open water course last year and went back to the same hotel (Reef Oasis) to get some more diving in!
The sea seemed a bit colder this year and there seemed to be less fish around than prevoius years which was a shame but we still had a great time scuba diving and snorkeling.
I also tried out my new underwater camera, its a Panasonic Lumix DMC - TS3 It's quite good but i'll have to save up for the underwater camera case for my Canon D60 as i'm so used to using a manual camera and only being able to use an auto mode is frustrating!
I'm glad to say we didn't see any sharks while we were there, although i did get a fright from a 3ft Trigger fish who decided to chase me! I think I scared him away with my bright pink fins kicking franticly as I swam in the opposite direction ... he had big teeth!
I've put all of my underwater photos in to a slide show (audio visual presentation) that you can see on youtube here

And all my photos from around the hotel are on an audio visual presentation here

 

I thought i'd make these AV's from my un-edited holiday snaps instead of uploading the pictures one by one to the net as it's much quicker and easier for everyone to see.

I also have many pictures here that i'll be uploading to a stock library and my POD sites that are a better quality so keep watching, their will be lots more to see over the next few weeks!

I've had my brake now and have to go back and sort our house out, the builders are in replacing our kitchen and i have lot's of graphics work to do too, i'll need another holiday after all of this!

Satan on holidays .. or not! (part 3)

Pin It

Hello eveyone, it's satan the cat again!
I thought i'd pop on and write another blog before my pre-dinner nap and let you all know that i've been told i MUST stay here and guard the house while Pixie and Rich go to Egypt!
I found out that they weren't going to Turkey so don't really mind! I've heard that the Egyptians are rather fond of cats but it's going to be way too hot at this time of year and my black fur and I can't handle too much heat, so while there away scuba diving i'll be here with the lovely lady who lives next door for company.
She's such a nice lady and remembers to brush me before i have my breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight feast unlike Pixie who only brushes me before my breakfast!
I'll kick up a fuss though and ignore Pixie and Rich when they start packing their bags and ignore them both again when they arrive home to make them think i'm not happy staying here with the lady next door, it'd only upset them if they thought i won't miss them!

Anyway enough of me now and i'll tell you what Pixie has been up to this week with her Hippy Gift Shop.
So far i've been thrown off her lap 4 times in a fit of excitement as she's gained another 4 Todays Best Awards for these items in her shop

Purple and Turquoise Hippy Fractal Pattern visit the Hippy Gift Shop

Psychedelic Rainbow Stars by hippy gift shop

She's also been updating her 'about me and my art and photography' squidoo lens that you can see here Squidoo lens - about me and my art It features a rather attractive picture of myself too so i'm quite happy about that.

I'm off for my nap now and am going to start practicing my sulking impressions in time for when they go away!

Satan on holidays (part 2)

Pin It

You remember I recently said that I had see on TV that dogs sometimes take their humans on holiday and that I am going to persuade Pixie and Rich to let me take them on holiday.
Well, it did not work out as I expected... They have decided to go on holiday but they are NOT taking me with them!
They said it is something to do with going on an aeroplane and going scuba diving when they get there... well, they are certainly right in thinking that I would certainly not want to go on an aeroplane (if cats were meant to fly they would have wings, or a pilot’s license) and as for diving....well, that means water and everyone knows that cats hate water.
Except, of course, for Turkish Van Cats – but then water is probably nice and warm in Turkey. Hang on a minute...Pixie and Rich are flying to their destination, so maybe they are going to Turkey. In which case, why aren’t they taking me?

I shall have to have words (after my nap, of course).

in the meantime heres a few new items from pixies Hippy Gift Shop

Satan on holidays

Pin It

Hi everyone, its me again, Satan the cat!

I thought i'd pop on again and tell you all about my latest thoughts.

Between my after dinner nap and my before going to bed nap, I like to watch TV. It is amazing what you can learn from the TV and the other day I was absolutely astonished. I discovered that there are many dogs who take their humans on holiday. I could see them playing on the beach and running through the woods. Now, I don’t normally think much of dogs because they are so inferior to cats, but this really impressed me. What a great idea! I am going to persuade Pixie and Rich to let me take them on holiday. I will let you know how I get on.

In the meantime Pixie has been ignoring me as she's been far to busy with her work, she's working on a graphics project for a local client, a filming project for a not so local client, as well as adding lots of new canvas prints and photo prints to her shops, she's also added some new designs to her hippy gift shop, heres a few of her latest products.
