A bit of adventure
Tuesday, 17th June, 2008 Add CommentsI’m off diving today. Down to Antibes on the Cote D’Azur to dive with a friend of mine, Alex, who runs a dive operation down there, Diamod Diving.
Aside from the adventure of the actual diving I have another, unwelcome adventure at the same time. Although I’ve already paid for the diving & accomodation etc, I haven’t got the money for the fuel to get down there and back. That’s all part of being a freelancer. Getting paid at the whim of some accounts department whenever they feel like it. So even thought there’s a couple of £K on it’s way into my UK account, I’m still going to have to drive the long way around through Grenoble down to the coast because I haven’t got enough money for the tolls & tunnel charges.
Still, it’s all part of the adventure & I’m not going to let a little thing like money get in the way of this holiday, I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks. I just hope that the EUR 125 I have in my wallet, the full tank of diesel and the debit card which might stop working at any moment will take me all the way :)
