Chilling in EcksEcksEcksEcks

Late afternoon: the soundtrack of my life is the near-silent whoosh of the waves on the beach below my unit and the lorikeets in the trees. There is nothing better than a lazy afternoon. I’m reading a cracker Terry Pratchett novel, ‘The Last Continent’ and drinking the inevitable Corona. I’m relaxing after a nice morning. I went down to the beach for my early-morning swim as the sun rose over the Bay and it was stunning. Too good not to share so the photo is here:

The tide was in, so I couldn’t clamber up to my rock, but I didn’t mind as the water was heavenly. Warm and calm and deep. At this hour the beach is all but deserted and it’s as though Paradise was created just for me. Back home afterwards for a fry-up with my niecies then straight back down to the Bay for some quality snorkelling round the point. Saw sting-rays, Parrot fish, Rock Cod and Coral Trout. Also lots of other little fishies, most of which looked like dinner but the Bay is a Green Zone so they live to swim another day.

Lunch, relaxing, games with the kids and then a barbeque dinner by the beach. Lazy, yes. Awesome, undoubtedly.
