Number one - there is no such thing as a quick surf. Two hours later Johanna and I are still waiting on the beach, we decide to walk home ourselves. (Colin and Rachel arrive later with flowers to appease two unhappy campers)
Number two - Kid's slides at the pool accomodate adults doing the 'right' thing. Rachel says to Colin, "Dad you just have to try this it is the best, go down backwards sitting up" Colin is perched at the top, the kid's say "Dad is going to hurt himself, he he he" Down he comes, spins out on the corner and lands with an almighty splash. He will have a bruise on his leg as a momento.
Number three - We still haven't got the hang of these summer storms yet. (At least this time it was only us getting wet and not our bedding) Colin and I headed off for our usual ride to the supermarket in the late afternoon. It looked a bit like it might rain so we did close up the tent, pack up around the caravan, bring in the clothes etc... As we are paying for our salad ingredients for tonight we hear the rain on the roof. As we reach the door we see torrential rain blowing in at 45 degrees. We wait a bit to see if it will ease, it does a little. We take our chance and ride into thunder, lightening and rain. At least all that bike riding at the gym was not in vain! I decide to ride right through some big puddles, why not, just for the heck of it, I am soaked through anyway. The water is warm. Actually it was quite fun.....
