Just joking about the title. I really think global warming is an extremely
\nserious issue and I’m upset at Howard’s refusal to ratify Kyoto. But January
\nis light hearted month so I’m being a bit flippant.<\/p>\n

What I really mean by the title is that it is another fine day down here
\nat Anglesea and in my lighthearted mood thought of the title. So far, I’ve
\nbeen to the beach everyday except New Year’s Day. It’s looking the best beach
\nholiday I’ve had for years.<\/p>\n

Today was a tad cooler than the other days with a bit of a cooler breeze
\nand light patchy cloud cover.<\/p>\n

One of our traditional things to do on family holiday is to go to Lorne<\/a>
\nfor an afternoon. Many times we have done this on cooler days. A few times
\nit has been cold or raining on the day we go to Lorne.<\/p>\n

Not so this year, although I was the only one to go swimming. I had left
\nmy rasher and sunscreen back at the house so I kept my t-shirt on. The waves
\nare always bigger at Lorne and today they were really good. They are also
\nquite even with each wave pretty much the same height for the full length
\nof the beach.<\/p>\n

It’s quite an amazing experience standing there and seing a wall of water
\nheading towards you. I’ve been mucking around body
\nsurfing<\/a> for most of my life but the last few years I’ve tried to get more
\nserious about it. I got dumped quite badly a couple of years ago and I realised
\nI had to be more careful until I have more experience with big waves. So I
\nlet some of the bigger waves go through but some were really fantastic. I
\nended up staying in the water for nearly and hour and a half. I was pretty
\ncold when I got out.<\/p>\n

Afterwards we all had coffee and some cakes at The
\nArab<\/a>, which is probably the oldest continuously operating cafe in Lorne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
