nothing much happening down at the beach this morning, one single wave which was glorious makes it all worthwhile. a handful of people in the surf with me, mostly old folks. after 30 mins i get a coffee and begin reading a new book, i need some sort of novel i can get my teeth into, a good story and fast paced plot to loose myself in. the sun appears occasionally and then will disappear behind the clouds. i have to check out some travel plans today, it's all a bit overwhelming.
