Still Surfing

Even in July

Today was warmer, but greyer than yesterday. Frankly, I'd rather have taken the bike out again. Unfortunately, my neglect for the bike works both ways. While a razor-style saddle improves control and allows for sharp, assertive control on technical downhill, it takes a bit of acclimatization. Which I haven't had. Do I have to spell it out? No? Good. Let's just say that lying face-down on a board in the cool, soothing ocean seemed preferable to more time in the saddle.

Surf was two feet and perfect. Other people were sensible and stayed dry behind a camera.

Bodyboard on the break Small, but perfectly formed.

Sometimes, rarely, the wildlife is exactly where you want it. The Talented Wildlife Photographer set this one up perfectly. I was so focussed I never saw the bird.

Bodyboard and seagull Do you think the get out to go to the loo?

Also: Last weekend we went to see the first night of Don Giovanni at the Opera House. Verdict: Awesome, but not as good as the last opera we saw. The atmosphere at the Opera House is fantastic.
