gasp! sunlight!

We had a whole day of sun today! It was amazing. The last time we had any sun was the day I burned my shoulders to a crisp, and even that was only for a couple of hours. Today we had light from sunup to sundown. Beautiful.

Naturally, I had to go for a nice long skate to celebrate (I remembered to bring my sunscreen this time!)

Beautiful day on the bayside.

You know why the beach is closed? Because the flood washed a fuckload of stonefish into the shallows. You can't see them--as the name suggests, they look exactly like normal rocks--and if you step on them and don't immediately receive CPR followed by advanced life support, you die! Charming beasties. Oh, Australia.

As much as I complain I do actually love this country quite a lot.
