Yesterday afternoon, when Lorelle was at work and I was terribly drowsy as a result of taking antihistamine tablets for my allergy rash (cause unknown), I took a short walk down to the beach path to perk me up a little. The sun was shining, the sea was azure blue, the sand was white and a cool breeze came in from the water. I had intended to walk farther along the path to the exercise machines but I was drawn down to the sand and sea – it was so beautiful. I took off my sandals and waded in the water.

A kite-surfer scudded along the tops of the waves and took off occasionally (but I was not quick enough to catch a photo of him in the air) – up and down he went until his strap came off and he came out of the sea at just the point where I was walking. I stopped,he stopped and we chatted… I felt quite perked up as I walked back to Lorelle’s.
