La plage est belle

Took a "day-off"from the regular grind of job searching & went to Narrabeen Beach (northern end, near lake entrance) from 0900-1200 hours.

It was low tide, so much shallower than it seems in the link given above.

1) Paddled in surf until tired
{it occurs to me I'm much more cautious - even between flags - at 32 than I was at 17}
2) Went & reclined in just ankle-deep lagoon channel
{with the water flowing from lagoon=>ocean trickling noisily through my hair if I lay flat - REALLY good!!}
3) Waded from lagoon channel to deeper part of lagoon & into lakes area
{also REALLY good!}

I would have gladly stayed all day, except that UV was rated "extreme" today - that means one burns if one stays out too long (esp. after 1100 hours)

I must do this kind of beach day more often.

L/T.

{EDIT.: Educated Francophones will know that this post's title is, in fact, incorrectly gendered & spelled. It should read "le plage est beau" - but seasoned filmgoers will have recognised that the title of this, as well as one previous, post have been spin-offs of French film names!!}**

  2. Thanks for the feedback Gen! {A CD of previously recorded songs is available for purchase, at the market price of $15.40 (or approx. €10).}

    Hope you keep thinking & praying through your role in God's world as well.

    Remember, with no paid work experience, you technically have 2 years of near total immunity from going - so spend it wisely!!
