Still

It’s been an odd week . The heater has gone on . The days start cold and end cold . It’s got quiet . I can’t remember it being like this last year . I think we had one eye on the ball back then , for we knew we were flying back home for Christmas and summer . This time around we are submersed and accepting of Hermosa Beach in winter . This whole Fall ( yes , I know it’s Autumn ) has been noticeably cooler than last year and that’s acknowledging that we’ve acclimated ( yep it’s acclimatised but America have got hold of another Oxford old favourite and bastardised it ) . The surf has been markedly better . In fact there was no surf this time last year . This year ? Almost everyday , at least for the last 6 weeks . It’s been the stillness that’s been most captivating . Eerie, no wind , no afternoon sea breezes , breathtaking in its beauty . 430 sunsets , not something you’d ever associate with LA . When your in our little patch you could swear you were somewhere else . This isn’t LA , it’s the ” Bubble ”
