Good dreary (but exciting) morning from Florida!
The surf was well up yesterday, died down around sunset, but is churning up again this morning. The kids put me to shame, but I had plenty of fun catching a few waves and paddling like a fiend. Today I am paying for it having to catch up with all the things abandoned yesterday, but it was worth memories made (even getting smacked around by the waves :laughing):
Nice peelers:

I can absolutely empathise with that, getting down on my knees is not too bad but getting up again is a whole different matter. When I am under the car or camper I sometimes just lie there for 5 minutes knowing that getting out and up is going to be an effort
BTW I havenât been in my attic for decades.
What a lovely photo. I rarely go near the sea these days even though I only live a little way away (and I never liked sand). If I do go I spend all my time looking for Pippis

The fireworks usually start sometime in September and go right through until December LF.
It makes you realise what such a popular bloke Guy Fawkes was. And with the present government some are hoping for a reincarnationâŠ

Sorry Bes, but in my younger day bommy night was something very special that every child looked forward to, and I only knew one family who had a dog. Food was much too scarce to feed an extra mouthâŠ
I donât know anyone who hasnât got at least two dogs nowâŠWe live next to a green with trees where my daughter and her friends used to playâŠNobody dare leave the path nowadays⊠

Fairy nuff, GF. My own children had fireworks - just sparklers. Now, we have huge explosives night after night after nightâŠ
And yet more fire works - a decade at leastâŠ
