After being stood up by my son on Saturaday , he had a better offer (friends) we did manage to get out this afternoon ....
A lovely stroll down Jetty Rd Glenelg and then a short stop off at the beach....
I bought him a skimmer board as he nagged me constantly until I gave in....
It was worth the $10 as he gave me some great laughs watching him trying to work out how to work the thing...
In the end he gave up and went for a dip in the water....
Too cold for my liking so I was just happy to take a few snaps for the album...
On our walk towards the beach they had the local band playing....They drew quite a crowd in the end and I must say they were very good...
Daniel was in aw with the drummer....He has been wanting to play the drums for a while now and this has stirred him up again....
I need a sound proof shed before I will contemplate going down that path...
The life guards were on duty this afternoon not that too many lives needed saving today....The beach wasn`t terribly busy and there were less in the water......Just the way I like it...Any other time you`re fighting for a space on the beach....
It still disappoints me to see this eye sore on the front of the beach .....It used to be so green with lots of trees but now a days all we see is cement....
hi Mandy, it sounds like you had a very nice day at the beach. i love the sea air, it's very healing, clears out the cobwebs. what's with the second pic? it looks like a tsunami is coming in. fish eye lens? Fran
ReplyDeleteHi Mandy!
ReplyDeleteYeah those units aren't very pretty are they...
Nice beach!
I always wanted to live on the beach...these days I don't like sand much though! LMAO....it gets EVERYWHERE!
A drummer...oh god help you! :)
Hope your week goes well!
Oh I love Glenelg, hope to come over your way this year (long overdue!) How did you get that bubble looking photo, did you use the computer? I love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good stroll and a laugh together,
xxx starry
Hi Mandy, I remember the old Glenelg park..they trashed it to put up those horrid blocks, cant even see the water these days as you drive along the beach road eh!.. I knew they'd do that..there must have been some backhanded money to get that through council.
ReplyDeletehi Mandy..development is everwhere. Newcastle is sadly becoming like that. still nice beach though
ReplyDeleteHi Fran....
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely down there...I love the sea breeze, it`s invigorating....
Yes Daniel wanted a special effect on his picture...lol
Starry Glenelg has certainly changed over the years...Jetty Rd is much the same but the beach front, a whole different story there...
ReplyDeleteYes I used the computer for the picture..Experimenting a little....
My son has a very warped sense of humour at times and he does make me laugh....
Tempo no doubtedly politicians had a hand in the pie....
ReplyDeleteas a teenager I used to love going to the sideshows they had down there...It was a great nights entertainment...Now a days there isn`t much for the kids to do down there...Not like I had....
Lil HArry....
ReplyDeleteProgress, it`s everywhere....
Well it is good you had a nice day out with your son, sometimes progress sucks as it just doesn't feel like a good thing.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Mandy LOL, how I remember those years with teenagers. No wonder you are not sleeping!
ReplyDeletePics look great and I am so glad you managed to get to the beach where it is hard not to unwind.
Always thinking of you xo
