Judging by the anger and angst in his recent posts our friend needs a group hug or something similar....any ideas on how to cheer the fella up ?
Ha ha - we all get a bit angsty around here until some decent SWesters show up!
Check in after the weekend and it'll be a luv-fest.
I'll tell you a funny story from today.
Ok, it's her 3rd sess. at the river and we are still doing body dragging as she is an aquaphobe (many Euros are). She's learning on 4 kites 2X 5 line Fuel and 2X Jekyll......totally diff. kites.
Now to the story. So this old guy comes up to her (she needed a break) while I'm body dragging around on my surf board and asks her if she is an instructor teaching that old man. Said he paid $200/hr. for some lessons and I guess he was ready to hire her to actually learn something (I doubt it)...........but now the girl is really motivated to learn the sport and teach it.............properly.
Nick was at woodies today..... Not kiting, but exercising his back picking up rubbish so our backyard doesnt look like a toilet. Legend!
Would have helped but of course it was windy, but did help carry it all to the car, believe it or not, there was a lot of crap....
while on the rubbish/toilets issue , i wrote a letter to cockburn council, re- kevin allen this morning to see if they can organise some more rubbish bins and toilets out at woodies car parks as im sick an trierd of picking up broken glass on the beach and on the road all the fishing hooks and line/ people ****ting in the bushes etc if some more crew write in they may do something.
Scotch, 1 valium, 1 fenac, 1 osteo paracetamal..............sleep 7 hrs. if lucky. Believe me mate I'm cheering up. I've got the student from heaven and I'm going Abrolo end April and other nice places in Sept.
Lost 3 kg so far and holding it, at 82 I quit the smoke.
It's kn hard work....but I'll get there, thanks to all the support from y'all
