I took a long weekend to make up for travelling/working on the weekend before last and got some beautiful beach time in. Good swell, water not absolutely freezing (although nothing like the warm bath of Fiji), husband and cat joined me ... perfect. There was a peculiar sea mist one morning, just hovering over the far beach. It burnt off quick enough.
Not much more to say really. This is really my life at the moment, working, painting and spending as much time as possible in the surf. A bit boring to read about ... how about this titbit - number one sent through the uni fee invoice for us to pay (yes, we do that, still cheaper than the private school we didn't send them to) - engineering students have to do some 'other' courses as well, which means creative writing this semester! Good fun, but it is TWICE the cost of the two advanced engineering courses, because the government doesn't subsidise it. I am a bit appalled - surely we need novelists as much as aerospace engineers? Surely?
I think it depends on the novelist! There's a considerable amount of piffle published...
