another wild ride in burleigh

so im back up in burleigh. its definitely been a pretty few crazy past 6 days and nights, thats for sure. just got back from a nice mellow swim in the ocean under the sunny sky throwing down some heavy drops of rain. such a great feeling of floating in the ocean. the water is pretty warm too and the air is about 85. pretty perfecto. we’ve all been getting up rather early, everyone works around 7, and somehow manage to get up around 6 or so. its pretty nice getting up all early- gives you a nice long day ahead of yourself. for instance, we woke up the other morning to go for a skate around 5:30- but the ground was wet, so we held off, the boys went to work and came back an hour later to pick me up. so i went to work with them for a bit-man those kids have such a mellow job. they are all surveyors and work for the same company and get to drive this wicked 4wheeling trucks all around some sights, taking measurements and jamming stakes into the ground. so we did that for a bit and then stopped by two parks on the way home, had some mellow skate sessions- no one at either park too. pretty awesome. there are so many parks around these areas as well, its grand. every town should have a skate park i reckon, good way to keep the kids off the streets and focused on something fun. but anyways yea we’ve just been doing heaps of skating here and there, had a halloween party where i was a hillbilly, some dude was dressed as a chick, good stuff. we also took a nice camping trip this past weekend, down to this small town of yamba. ate some of the best pizza ive ever had. the chefs really knew what they were doing- put some rosemary sprigs on the pizza- man it was tasty. and to finish up the great camping outing, on the way home we stopped by this skatepark that was right on the water looking out on this bridge and the bay- beautiful spot. real mellow bowls- fun to cruise around. but there was this real young kid- probably 9 or so and was just kiiiling it- i mean i dont think ive ever seen a better bowl rider than this kid and he was way young. we all stood there with our jaws dropped, wondering why we were even trying to skate after that. might as well just quite and move onto something like figure skating. ha.  but we had such and awesome skate session that day. there was barely anyone there and we skated until it just got too dark. gotta love days like that. aw its starting to rain again, pretty strange day so far rain, sun, rain, clouds. swimming in the rain is pretty fun though.  sorry, i must sound pretty scattered right now. im  just trying to do a few things at once here. making hash browns, talking on the phone, checking out the rain, reading a book. actually the book is a pretty good one. the autobiography of malcolm X. good stuff. i dont read much as most of you probably know, but when you find a good book, its kind of hard to put it down.  well im going to focus on one thing now, and thats eating my hashbrowns whilst they are still hot. but hope you’re all doing excellent. ill be home in 9 days i think it is. pretty stoked on that! alrighty, so long for now.
