Booked in to see a specialist but it’s not till May. Looks like we will be putting off our trip to the Gold Coast. No point driving all that way if I can’t surf. Plus might get a cancellation. Had a shingles shot at the doc yesterday so I generally feel like shite.

Great to see the rookie take out Bells. Beating World Number 1. He will remember that for ever.

Groin area. Swells up a bit. It’s been playing up a bit the last couple of weeks so it got my attention. Prior to that it wasn’t that obvious amongst the various other aches and pains us old codgers get. Initially thought it was a reaction to the Metformin I started taking.

It’s big and pretty sectiony but it only looks like Simon and Ian Cairns are surfing the waves in a manner that people would expect these days. Everyone else is just trying to stretch as far as they can down th...

I hope Pinnie didn’t go down as well.

What happened Pinnie?

Insert abuse about what type of retard Mong would go and surf largish Nth Bra in a southerly swell with onshore winds.

Fcuk. Wasn’t going to go for a surf since it’s a bit onshore. Thought WTF and took the foamy out in the corner. Noticed a few bluebottles on the shore. Paddled out and saw more. Learner near me got one wrapped around his wrist. Then I caught a wave and got wrapped around my ankle. Haven’t been stung...

O’Leary……oh really.

Cracker of a day. My favorite time of year.
