Birthday Surfday!

Started to feel like a human being again today, ready to re-join the land of the living! My brain is back up to normal, I just need the energy levels to match the psych. Have had a fantastic birthday, that started off in good style with a banana pancake and coffee breakfast session!


We then went out down the track for a walk. Partly to walk off the pancakes, but mostly because I haven't really been out and about locally, since we got back from Australia.


The Rowan trees are all full of red berries, which usually means that we're in for some snow this winter!? (according to the local old wives!)....


Plenty of acorns out too...


After lunch, we headed to the beach for a (now) traditional birthday surf. We had to wait for the tide to change when we got there, so enjoyed an hour of sunbathing up by the dunes first.


Getting into wetsuits seemed a little less spacious without our giant campervan, but at least we had dry wetsuits to get into.


Conditions came good for us once we were in the water and I managed to ride a few great waves. The weather changed while we were in and rain poured down, but we could hardly get any wetter? Didn't stay in too long as energy levels still felt sub-par. Ace to be in though - and no sharks either here!


Went for apres surf tea and cake at the cafe in the dunes, then got back for fireside dining, more cards, messages, pressies and (of course), more cake.


A very happy birthday....
