Surf's Up

I was always a good student and rarely played hooky but today I skipped out of school early, stopping briefly at the house for my swimsuit, towel and sunscreen and continuing down to Brighton Beach.

It was a hot day and lots of people were at the seaside, mostly families. I think everyone feels like I do, take advantage of the weather as it may be the last chance before autumn really sets in. The nights are cooling off and the odd leaf has fallen.

I bought a vegetable pastie enroute and it was still warm when I ate it one and a half hours later!

I recall a colleague who did his PhD in Australia talking about dividing his time between surfing and his studies. I thought that was cool. I have not learned to board surf yet but did some body surfing today. One step at a time!
