Tea At The Beach

After over three months, a new bedroom suite we had ordered was delivered. It arrived in 7 cardboard cartons just after lunch and without any instructions on how to assemble it. After a bout of inappropriate language, a massive loss of perspiration and a phone call to the furniture company help line, we got it all together. Thank heavens for electric drills!

A quick swim to recuperate as well as a couple of bottles of home brew to replace lost fluid saw neither of us in any mood to prepare tea. We took a couple of cool drinks, visited the excellent fish and chip shop near by and headed to King's Beach and a picnic table to enjoy our meal. It was delightful sitting there enjoying our meal and being beachside after dark.

The "Bird of Paradise" flower is certainly taking its time to come fully out. It still has a few more petals to appear but this is where it is up to now.
