I'm sure you must all have some - so I will start the ball rolling -
This morning my nice new dry-suit under-suit arrived and I couldn't wait to try it on (in case it need to be changed or anything - honest). So off to the bedroom, under-suit on - lovely fits a treat !
Ok - it is very bulky, does it fit under my nice slimline front entry drysuit?
Down to my workshop, dry suit out of its storage, back indoors, put drysuit on - gosh it's hot, perspiration coming off in buckets, it's a little bit 'tight' around the hips but nothing too uncomfortable, so I try a few exercises, yep can still touch my toes, reach valves and so on, so it is OK, just need to lose a couple of extra pounds which need to go anyway.
You guessed it - right at that point the doorbell goes - delivery guy from AMAZON with the rest of the Christmas presents which we are waiting for and need signing for. There is absolutely no way to get out of dry-suit in time to get to the door before he leaves, so off I go to the front door to in the drysuit - perspiration dripping - - the look on the drivers face was a priceless - sadly seems some of my neighbours were also outside and now have this vision of the guy next door skulking around in TRILAM and neoprene when he's on his own at home - will I ever be able to show my face in public again?
My hastily shouted - "It's a new drysuit - I was just trying it on" was met with a polite, tolerant "Er - OK, see you around"
Never mind - they are not divers - they wouldn't understand.
Have fun - Phil.
