Sweet sweat

The three photos below were taken on a sunset stroll along the foreshore where I live. Life in the slow lane, as my blog promises. It's almost like a religion here, you hardly see anybody in the heat of the day, then, when sunset beckons, hundreds of people wander along the foreshore to say goodbye to the sun. Groups of family and friends gather with their picnic chairs and anything from elaborate home-cooked meals to a couple of beers and a paper-wrapped package of hot chips. Lovers take a cooling dip laced with the excitement of a possible crocodile sighting or an encounter with the deadly sting of a box jellyfish. Some just sit alone and contemplate life as the sun sinks into the Timor Sea.

Random thoughts: I am truly over Chardonnay. The last couple of bottles I've had, despite going for the specials on the better quality such as Andrew Garrett with a $5 discount down to around $10 have just tasted horrible -bitter and dead. Has everyone else switched to Semillon Sauvignon Blanc too?

Gourmet tip: The most delicious nibbles in the world. South Cape Cheese Twists - Parmesan and Garlic. They're thick and crunchy and unbelievably tasty. They are displayed near the deli in Woolworths stores. Only they're a bit pricey, $4 a packet and you only get 12 or 13 in a packet. Mmmmm! I mightn't be buying them often because I've already polished off 7 tonight... er make that 8!...9... warning -there's 1730 kj in a pack...goodnight!
