reasons to be grateful
Friday
rolls, swimming and surfing,
no illustrations today, just thankfulness
morning calls [hearing voices long unheard sounding cheerier than in my imagination]
stealing time from the day and spending it enjoyably
baking rolls and sharing food with good friends
walks and moments
getting things wrong and then clearing things up [almost]
sunshine, surf [big stuff, we hit the tides just right]
missing pinkalicious already

It's amazing the clarity that one gets every now and again. I really enjoyed the walk on the beach with Henrietta. We were on a mission, I'd seen a plastic rake one morning and we were searching to see if it was still there. [it wasn't] We talked and chatted, pointed things out to each other told our stories and walked some more.
it was a special moment, and a special end to Ladybug day

the big two had gone to get showered and warm, we carried on down the beach and chatted, laughed and shared a story or two. Henny's was about getting poo on her shorts in Living Springs camp, mine was in answer to a request about how I met Nettie

Henny spotted a ladybug in the sea foam, it looked in danger of drowning, so she saved it and carried it up into the dunes to fly home another day

Sunday
Sunday's Grateful end
Mostly stories today
we were surfing yesterday evening and Henny complained about being bitten by crabs. Eliot and I poo pooed the whole idea and rationalised it as stepping on the TuaTua shells that litter the shoreline here. Today i was proved wrong and had to apologise to the girls.
Henny and I were screaming and giggling in the very messy surf on Sunday avo. We'd given up being serious and were just faking it in the shallows. Henny was on the big board and I was struggling with the rip and trying to keep her straight as i pushed her off the waves.
A crab bit my big toe and i leapt screaming from the water. Of course Hannah and henny thought this was very amusing, and even more amused when they found i'd been bitten by one of the things i'd denied the existence of earlier.
i happened again and again before we all came home, ever gracious in victory they pulled my leg about it all the way home

Friday
Thursday on holiday
waking to a windless morning and warm sun, heading to the beach with henny and the body boards.
cheese rolls and lots of chippies in the yard [where it was still windless even though the easterly was well and truly settled in at the beach]
eating ice cream on the beach [even though it tasted like arse, and seemed to be full of grit that was straight from the scop in the store]
henny snoozing in the afternoon
girls doing jigsaws

a smile file, really for private consumption,
but on the web anyway.
don't tell anyone you've found it will you?
