Grey? Rainy? You’re kidding, right?

Hello Friends Yet another gloomy kick off to a new day’s proceedings in Sydney. Swell has faded since yesterday at this time, but as my picture of Dee Why shows, it’s not flat. Yeah, the quality in absolute terms isn’t amazing or anything, but there are some waist high sets. I reckon a mal or […]
