Bilgola beach, on Sydneys north shore

Sunday, woke up couldn’t resist checking the score from previous days Chelsea Hull city game, nil nil, unreal more than worthy of a viewing. After popping out for coffee, settled down to watch a recording of the game. Bloody enthralling it was too, possibilities to steal it. The straw that broke Scolari’s back.

Gaffers arrived at noon with two boards nestled on the Yarra, for the drive up to Sydney’s northern beaches. Headed up to the top to Palm beach, home of Home and Away, soap fans. Rammed, all of Sydney was expecting recored temperatures this weekend, we were not the only ones drifting to the coast. snaked round to Whale beach, stunning, but crazy busy too, after 17 laps of the car park we opted to move on to Bilgola, found a park after approximately 4 days.

Stunning beach with funsize waves, God knows what has happened to the water over the last few days, has plummeted from 23 to what must have been about 17 degrees… chilly! Braved it in boardies and rash vest on Chris M’s barrel rider for an hour and a half or so, then back to the beach to rediscover some feeling in my feet. Great session with Gaffers taking the plaudits for wave of the day to accompany his earlier award for car park three point turn of the day.

Stopped on the way home for some Barramundi and chips at the Newport Arms, no sightings of Alan Hansen on this occasion, but quality view from the unreal beer garden looking over Pittwater. Plans hatched for the future to spend another sunny afternoon here working way through schooners of Coopers. The day was topped off with a rooftop swim and drinks at the scousers place in Pyrmont. Today was a good day.
