Not so here. It felt like it was going to get really hot<br \/>\nthis morning around 9am so I closed all the windows in the house. We just<br \/>\nstayed inside preparing ourselves for the heat that was to come. But when<br \/>\nwe went outside around 10:30 it was cooler outside than in.<\/p>\n<p>Being Friday, we went down to the Surfing Albatross (I&#8217;ll add the link when<br \/>\nI get my photoblog running again.) to have breakfast. The coffee is good down<br \/>\nthere but the poached eggs we had were the hardest poached egss I have ever<br \/>\nhad. With new owners, the staff are new and very slow. Although going back<br \/>\nthrough my diaries, they seem to always have been slow &#8211; through three owners!<br \/>\nAnyway it was nice to have breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>The other big ritual in the Curnow house is that we have home-made pizza<br \/>\non Friday night, so we came back to the house and I made the dough before<br \/>\nheading down to the beach. If you haven&#8217;t been to Anglesea on a day like today,<br \/>\nyou should. It was glorious. There wasn&#8217;t a cloud in the sky, it was maybe<br \/>\n25 or 26 degrees and the tide was out. It just doesn&#8217;t get better than this.<\/p>\n<p>I also realised how relaxing it was. Just sitting there, doing a bit of walking<br \/>\nor a bit of swimming. Nothing to think about in particular, just relaxing.<br \/>\nI hope I can keep relaxed for a little while into January after this holiday<br \/>\nis over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been an absolutely beautiful day in Anglesea today.
