"I'm slapping a seal"

Billy has occasion to jump into the Crasky bed of a night. Last week whilst deep within a dream he sat up moving his right arm from side to side in a short brisk sweeping motion. "What on earth are you doing?" asked Janey. "I'm slapping a seal" he replied. He'd been watching Night in a Museum - why it was a seal we just don't know!

Last night was an all timer on the North Coast - with a flat calm sea, the ocean looked like a pool of oil. We went around to Port Gaverne to do some jumping, swimming and crabbing. I've never seen it so still on the water and so clear - just like the tropics. Dr. Sainsbury was around there with his family, he lives a few minutes down the road - the last time he could remember it being like that was 15 years ago! Libby drew a large crowd with her cliff jumping - she's incredible to watch. The ledge she's jumping from has to be over 10ft high.

It's been a long flat spell, apart from the surf last weekend it's been small for two weeks - one of the longest spells I can remember. Fortunately we've been stacked with schools, and we can always keep them entertained with paddles and games in the water, which they love. What wouldn't be great is a flat spell during the main holiday period. Law of averages is working in our favour at the moment though - we'll hold onto that thought. Heat wave this week, but it does look like surf is on the way tomorrow.

After much post performance analysis we've discovered that our weak gig the other night might have been down to fact that our drummer had had a few too many. I like that story so I'm sticking with it!! We broke the record for how fast Times Like These can be played!! It came in at around 2 mins.
