We had such a lovely day on Saturday, in spite of the wind and rain! We set off for coffee and croissants, and as we parked the rain stopped, and gave us a break to get to Costa. Of course as Dh has a loyalty card he had a free cake for his birthday!
We met people we know and chatted and after, while Dh went to the butchers for a rib of beef for our Sunday dinner, I walked through town to get some tooth paste. I met some one from our gardening group and we chatted about our next meeting, which is our review of the year and celebration, our 'bring and share meal.' It reminded me we would need to buy some presents for the secret Santa.. we needed 2 lots, as our book group meal has secret Santa pressies too.
And I found the perfect presents, something I'd like myself. I was so pleased .
Dh was happy too and came walking towards me, smiling like a Cheshire cat. We drove home via Rest Bay, which had about 50 plus surfers! And quite a few people on the beach watching. November 1st and only 12C that is dedication!
We watched from inside our warm car, well we're a bit old to be surfing in November!

It sounds like you both enjoyed a lovely day. Your photographs of the surfers is fantastic! Xx
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the perfect way to end your day out. 😊
ReplyDeleteI don't live anywhere near big water or people surf. But what I really don't understand is being able to tolerate not only the ice cold water but the cold air temperatures. Sounds like you two are still celebrating his birthday and that's terrific. Happy Sunday
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day! The surfers are braver than I am.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that beef today!
Sounds a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI always think presents I'd like for myself are the best ones to give. Sounds like a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteGlad to hear you had such a lovely day.
