Friday, February 6. Blue sky. Calm sea. Not a breath of wind. 29 C.
Fellette and I are recovering from our trip ashore yesterday. We were on the deck for some time, starting in the dark at 5:30 this morning. Fellette usually does not insist very often. Today she insisted that we appreciate the pleasant view laid out before us from the air conditioned comfort of our spacious cabin. I did not disagree.
We have never been beach bums, maybe in Maui in the morning, watching the sun come up over the volcano, but not during the day at 29 C!
I suppose when you are younger and you can spent some time in or under the water it may be OK. At home, when we are gardening we only work in the morning before what we call the 'Heat of the day' starts. Why in heavens name would we walk onto the beach in front of us when we are just miles from the equator??? Maybe some people don't know what causes skin cancer 60 to 70 years later.
There is no doubt that today will be a wonderful day, at a beautiful beach for many people, and I am happy for them. For us oldies, it was a wonderful day of rest, relaxation and recuperation with a wonderful South Pacific Beach just yards from our Picture Window.
R and R Day, Loving it...
