Every morning at 930 this plane flys over head on the Southbay . It’s a Qantas jet , yep this big bird is going home . Surreal , I rarely miss it for I’m in the surf of the Pacific Ocean looking up.You wonder , are there are Aussies doing the same as me ?I took this photo while the kids were playing in the small slappers which crumbled to shore.
The surf has flattened right out in the height of summer. The last 6 weeks has produced no more than a handful of days that have been rideable . The slowdown , long summers days , the kids at the beach . Right now days are at their longest . It’s got quiet too as there is a lot going on there annual vacation to escape the perfect summer days to head to Mexico to find even more perfect summer days .Don Henlys Boys of Summer comes to mind .I’m spoilt to be here but you still feel detached . Is this really my gig , will I ever feel at home?Every things muffled now as my ears are shutting down . Too much water has been continually trapped and now swelling and probably infection is turning my head thick. Yeah , even thicker than before.Ive made the call to stay dry , no body surfing , no water of any kind . We don’t want to go to the doctors , as I’ve previously stated ,that is a scenario to avoid over here.So right now I’m looking at the clouds run through my mind with a ssshhhing sound on slow hum operating at mid cycle. Occasionally I’ve gotta look up to see that Leroys still there , then it’s back to daydreaming about ‘never looking back and the days when summer has gone’.Shit this ear thing is making me delirious. Never mind it’s only a couple of hours before that natural numbing in a can can do its magic. Yep , Friday night should slow things down even more.
August 4 every morning
