Summer is neigh

It's about this time every year when I look back over the past winter and say: 'now that wasn't too bad now was it'. The of course the answer is: 'course not'. Indeed summer is heading our way. I have hit a record, surfing on three different coasts in a period of weeks, all before November rolled around. Got to love summer. Saturday night saw us sitting outside on a porch, (dare I call it a veranda?), drinking beer and smoking the shisha/nargile and having a yarn. Yep, that's right I just used the word 'yarn'. Now a couple of things could have been worked on to improve the situation, so if anyone is reading: this is my perfect afternoon.

First off: it has to be the afternoon, around 3pm is good. We would have just come back from the beach, we would have the stereo loaded up with a truck load of reggae/soul/dub (Mad Professor being a current favourite). At some point we would realise that night is falling: time to load up the BBQ and cook the meat that has been marinating since before midday. Onions, tomatos, steak, beer, back deck/front porch. There we have it. That is my ideal afternoon.

Now remember people: it is November. We have four and a half months. Ahhh yes: the good months are here.
