Selfedge has done Black Friday sales the last 2 years,offering a 15% discount. I’ve managed to score both times. Have my eyes on a couple of things.
That's right. Thanks for the reminder.

Unfortunate for me since I wear the most common size in existence which is usually the first to sell out (large)

Sadly, nowhere that naturally beautiful. Just Fiji.
My heart goes out to him in this time of misfortune.

This is my Kanreki present to myself….....a bit of diving and some fishing.....
It's a very long story, but the short version is....
Giles meets great South African (Chad) when fishing in Oman. Form firm friendship.
Chad tells Giles he is building an eco fishing lodge on a remote island in Fiji (it's called Yacata - Google it).
Giles says, oh great I'll come and spend my 60th there.
Chad says, won't be finished. Then in off hand way says "we're looking for investors"
Giles spends days working out how to broach subject of investing in a mad adventure with Paula. Plucks up courage and blurts it out.
Paula says "fuck yeah".
Giles picks himself up off the floor.
We invest.
We are in Fiji.
Lodge not built.
Probably end up sleeping on beach.
Neither of us has ever been so excited about something in our lives..... -
No one really knows about the fishing in and around Yacata. It's never really been fished with fly and lure before. I will be one of the first (if not the first) person to spend a whole week fishing with a rod there. This is seriously exploratory stuff, we will be throwing lures and casting flies in and around islands and reefs that have never seen the like before. We do not know what we will catch (though we can make some informed guesses), where we will catch and what sizes we will catch….

G - “I bought a watch.”
“Paula says "fuck yeah".”
Paula - “I bought 5 more pairs of sunglasses.”
G - “fuck.”just a guess. but having known you both for such a long time now….
