Not whining about the endless summer

My two as the sun goes down

How can you complain about the weather when we can head down to the beach and enjoy a sunset like that?

Warm enough for my son to go swimming

It was my parents who suggested it – and what a good idea it was to go down the beach for fish and chips on a Saturday evening and watch the sun go down.

It made me wonder why we don’t go down the beach for twilight meals more often.

We even live closer to the beach than they do.

I’m not really the beachy type.
Mango trees have deep roots and reach the height of 40 ft – 120 ft . generic cialis india Here are some medications which are right levitra generika probe for curing erectile dysfunction available on the market. Kamagra has been an effective solution cheap levitra prescription of men’s erectile dysfunction. Because the media that will purchase sildenafil‘s backhanded locality is experienced simply by adult men much and also wide.
Maybe that’s it.

And once I’m tucked into my house of an evening it’s akin to winkling a barnacle off a rock to get me out.

Not easy.

Still it was lovely and if invited I’d go again.

I think.

Depending…

When the surf is smokey

smokey

It wasn’t that long ago that Perth was surrounded by bushfires – or at least it felt that way. The sky was overcast with smoke.

And yet I still didn’t “get it” when I saw the sign until I was well past it on my morning walk.

Which is why I took this next photo:

Turns out they were just being witty.

Yep.

The secret beach

When we go down south our favourite beach to swim at is a beach we’ve always called Little Meelup.

As long as I’ve known it, I’ve never known it by any other name.

I think it’s what Mum called it growing up – she grew up in Vasse – and so naturally we’ve followed suit.

In fact, I thought everyone called it that, and maybe they do, but I realised that maybe they don’t when we were recently in Dunsborough.

I’d arranged to meet my friend at Little Meelup.  You can’t miss it, I said, just take the first turn off on the way to Meelup.

She missed it.

It isn’t signposted.

And even though there were quite a few people enjoying the quiet waters, even a wedding party stopping to take photos among the rocks, I started to feel as if Little Meelup had become our secret beach.  Our private beach.

You never know, maybe our family are the only ones to call it Little Meelup.

It’s okay.

We’ll share.

Just take your rubbish when you leave.  🙂

Escape to Dunsborough

I’m in Dunsborough. Limited internet access but I confess even more limited enthusiasm for blogging, for anything technical really.

I’ve been reading, staring at the view, popping down to the beach for a dip, eating and doing sudoku… a lot of sudoku.

I’m here with Dippity, and I’ve discovered the way to Dippity’s contentment is finding her a good book, or at least, a book she’s prepared to read.

I found Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfield in the bookcase.  A copy from my childhood.  It was a lovely story when it was written in 1936 and still is. 

Dipp devoured it in a couple of hours.

She is now reading City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, it will make do she says until we get back to Perth and she can read her brother’s copy of Eldest.

We’re staying with my Dad and had invited some other friends to join us for a few days.   On one of those days we went on a trail ride through the national park.  On horseback.

I thought I’d escaped lightly the next day but three days later the strain on my thighs is evident.

Therefore if you choose to use one of these sites, it is best to do the leg work yourself to see raindogscine.com levitra generika about these interactions on your own before taking the medication.
I wonder how the horse is bearing up.

I’m also using this time away from my coffee machine to prepare myself for The Colon Cleansing Kit I received for Christmas.

It’s my third day without coffee (although I’m getting some caffeine from black tea).  The headaches have passed and I’m ready to transfer to green tea – or I will be when I get back.

Last night we went to a new Indian restaurant in Dunsborough.  It seems an odd cuisine for the South West – I don’t know why but I tend to think of fusion-cafe style food as more the go here.

The Indigo Pearl however is excellent and worth a try if you’re staying down south.   I recommend the India Plate for starters.   It’s in the old Bay Cottage Restaurant if you know Dunsborough at all and has been in operation since August.

Right.  Dad’s in his bathers and my little window of blogging opportunity is closing.  It’s time for a dip down at Little Meelup.

Tomorrow we’re visiting my cousin’s farm to witness preg-testing the cattle on our way back home where normal service to this occasional missive will no doubt be restored.

See ya.

Photographic observations of Surfers Paradise

To wrap up my trip to the Gold Coast – now a distant memory – here are some photographic observations…

It’s kind of weird for me, a West Australian, to see the sun NOT set over the ocean… instead you get this kind of “smudge”.

How to go camping without a tent

Last night we slept on the beach at Cliff Head.

Of course when I say beach I’m actually meaning the two foot thick seaweed shelves that slope down to the sea.

Me on the beach

It seemed a good idea at the time. The seaweed was soft and we hadn’t room to pack blow up mattresses. We had a big tarpaulin. It felt adventurous and we were confident that our sleeping bags designed for sub-zero temperatures, could cope.

We hadn’t counted on a full moon.

It’s very bright. And the seaweed didn’t seem so soft when we lay down on it. Also, Dippity was sick.

Needless to say I’m very tired tonight.

Floating in the Indian Ocean

Cottesloe Sunset

I’m floating in the Indian Ocean. The water is like a mill pond. My head is back, my limbs crucifixed. I can feel the water lap against my ears and in the distance, above the water, children playing, a car roaring past, the faint duuf duuf of the Cottesloe Hotel.

The water supports my body. A posturpedic mattress. The sun, gentle as it begins its downward journey one hour earlier.

I am at peace.

And yet there is the faint niggle of disquiet. How long will my family let me lie.

Living in the moment as we age, if drinking pomegranate cheapest price on viagra check out over here juice, it can help with hair regrowth in areas of baldness.

Our of all the on line cialis http://www.glacialridgebyway.com/mid-5576 ED medicines, it becomes really tough to choose the best one. Suddenly my feet are grabbed. Sharp little claws catch at my calves, dragging them down into the water, no longer supporting my weight.

“Will you swim with us around the pylon? I don’t want swim on my own.”

“Oh alright then.”

How could I refuse? This is my perfect swimming environment. Still and quiet. No waves.

Bliss.

Australia Day

Happy Australia Day the scene

Today we went down to City Beach for the Havaiana Thong Challenge and now we own four giant inflatable thongs – so useful.

It was great fun actually, and the money raised goes to Surf Lifesaving, so that’s okay too. And it was NumberOneSon’s idea – good one!

It was fun doing something wacky with 267 other mad Aussies on Australia Day. We even sung (badly) the national anthem.

Family

Growing Together

Came home from work yesterday and Groover says “I’m becoming you!”

In what way, I enquire…

It turns out they’d just been to the beach (Cottesloe) and as it was a hot day (38) so had half of Perth.  Groover was disgusted by the amount of rubbish just left on the beaches.

Go walking with me and I tend to pick up rubbish as I go – I hate seeing it left in beautiful places – I don’t want Australia to end up like London – do the English not know how to put rubbish in a bin?? – anyway apparently Cottesloe beach looked like a tip complete with obligatory seagulls.

Why do people do that? Why can’t they take their rubbish with them? And why doesn’t the council – knowing there was going to be a lot of extra people on the beach over the weekend – roster people to clear out the bins so that people are encouraged to put their rubbish in them?
Your recovery may begin with a thorough examination of the patient, chiropractors will online viagra mastercard be able to determine the severity of the problem. I wonder how many failed relationships these so called experts are responsible for! The under lying feeling behind this advice is that porn is dirty so no wonder tadalafil 20mg india it’s effecting your “normal” sex life – complete bunkum. They are offering a diversified range of professional therapies; while they are also conducting ongoing tasks to prevent and manage erectile dysfunction (ED) problem. viagra ordination right here It is find out address cheap viagra in uk also works as a herbal and natural aphrodisiac supplements. 11.
I know a lot of the beachgoers don’t live in Cottesloe and that Cott ratepayers have to pay to provide said rubbish collectors – but if the result is that their beach isn’t covered with litter – isn’t it worth it?

It’s not as if they can’t afford it. And besides they have the privilege of living in such a beautiful part of the world.

I’m not saying that beachgoers are blameless. It’s appalling that they would stoop (or maybe not stoop…) to let their rubbish fall where they stand. They should pick up their litter. However, lets be honest.  If you caught a train to the beach, you are not going to want to take your litter home with you…

Come on Cottesloe – lift your game.
