Today was a some what wonderful day. With the sun shining, and the heat steadily rising I woke from my slumber this morning WITHOUT an alarm. With a smile on my face I stretched out my limbs with the line: "Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty I'm free at last" ringing through my head. Yes, I am free. Until next year that is anyway, but for nowlet me bask in the glory that is...
Summer Holidays.
Huzzah!!!
Time has certainly flown this year. Last years summer only feels as if it happened only yesterday! But as years do, the new one has come and is on its way out, and lo and behold, Summer is here yet again. So, I had a day off today, Haylee had a day off today...BEACH!!!!!!!!!!
Giddy with excitement, I started hunting for my bathers, boardies and my summer bag. I was definately reminded of the old times when I realized that I hadn't unpacked my summer bag from last summer. I found a water damaged and sand encrusted deck of Winnie the Pooh Uno cards I got as a Christmas present from Kirby. I found a full bottle of sunscreen though. SCORE! Summer for me is defined by three items: Sunscreen, Tanning Oil and After Sun Cream. Have those three on you at all times, and your set for the next 3 months. There's nothing more you could possibly need...except maybe a cider and some fish and chips, but that's a given.
Haylee and I were so excited about the seaside. The first beach day is always the most awkward though. The crowd that had gathered there were tanned, buffed, and beautiful. Not that I'm particularly insecure about myself, I see my purpose on the beach as one which adds diversity to the crowd, but when you're pale and pasty and have a lot of browning to do, you do feel like a bit of an amature amongst the bronzers.
The water was cold, but oh so good. Haylee and I were in bliss, paddling in the water, looking at all the people on the beach, then paddling in the water some more. Oh what fun we were having. During this time of happiness, an elderly gentleman was walking along the beach and decided to plant himself nearby our towels. After a while he started to get ready to go into the water. It became apparent that the gentleman in question did not bring his bathers with him, and decided to just go about the day in his jocks. After the obligatory chuckle (as young ladies tend to do at these sorts of matters), I thought: Ah, fair enough, more power to him. And we continued to enjoy our day.
The gentleman then entered the water, made his way towards us, and started to have a chat. It was innocent at first, these things usually are, and despite the fact that this guy was just in his jocks, we didn't want to be rude.
HIM: Beautiful day to be at the beach hey?
US: Hell yeah.
HIM: You have a day off?
US: Hell yeah.
Awkward pause
HIM: Water's nice.
US: Hell yeah it's nice.
HIM: Yeah, I went to the beach yesterday in Frankston.
US: Oh yeah.
HIM: Yeah. It was a nice hot day and I thought I'd go off to the beach after work.
US: Cool.
HIM: But there were so many people there.
US: Oh.
HIM: So I went looking for another beach. I found one which wasn't too far away from Frankston. It was called Sunnyside Beach. Have you ever heard of it?
US: No.
HIM: It's a lovely beach. Water was really nice and warm.
US: Cool.
HIM: It's a nudist beach.
Scilence
HIM: Yeah, one of the few legal ones here. There's a sign there and everything.
Silence
HIM: Yeah, a lot of people go down there. But usually only people in the 30-60 range. I'm 50 myself.
US: Ok.
HIM: Yeah, not many girls your age seem to want to go down there. And it's a shame because you're of the age where your bodies are in the best shape, and you don't show it off! It would be something nice to look at.
Silence
HIM: Yeah, well, you should think about heading down there sometime. It's not far from Frankston at all, and it would be a lot of fun.
Silence
HIM: Well, I'll be going. I shouldn't really be swimming because of my ear infection. Bye girls.
Silence
