Just a quick catch up before we leave Singapore, as we head to Sydney later this afternoon! Gill has been suffering with ear problems since diving, so yesterday actually went to the doctor, and he sent her away with drops, and 3 types of drugs...funny thing is she's been treated exactly the same way i woulda dog with an ear infection...is that coincidence!?!
