Stormy Paradise

Its been wild and beautiful weather here lately, strong winds, big tides, torrential rain. The back garden is a mire, but the veges are thriving. The bees keep to themselves in the rain, but are still out there finding plenty of pollen I notice when conditions allow. Fantastic surf on Sunday! 5-6 foot swell, some bigger sets, off shore winds, sun was out, puurrrfect. Went down from the water tower to one of my favourite spots and got some rippers. Some big wipe outs too and a bit of a sore neck Monday to boot.

Sick Indo Pits

Nothing like the ocean to clear the mental cobwebs, whether its a few waves, a run or just a comb.. always a buzz. Friends just back from an Indo trip rave about the wave quality and the laid back nature of the whole island vibe... ? next year..

Letter Boxes

I've noticed that some folk go to quite some trouble to add a little style and interest to the little things in life. Letter boxes with a bushranger theme.

Local renos.

Here's a lovely conversion of old and rundown/disused corner shop to a great little home, that

still leaves the aesthetic and style of the original building. I like it.

Good Morning Doggy Style

I've been doing the early morning walks with my new little man. We talk and sing, the dog loves it and we get to see our neighbourhood in a detail you don't get with the bike or driving. It's a great area with a lot of folks having done interesting things with old miners cottages, or doing up old corner shops. On mother's day we were walking just after sunrise and an senior gentlemen was setting up buckets loaded with flowers grown in his garden. As we got closer Pearly arched up and unloaded a steaming Mr Whippy pile of doggy good morning right there! Talk about timing! Not sure whether he was more disgusted with her, or surprised at me as I snapped the shot.
