Maybe all the street homeless are waiting for it to open. Actually, that's unfair not all street homeless are drinkers. Penzance, once the Mecca for 'street life', has calmed down. Maybe, it's more fruitful to beg in Truro. Masterclass, at least it's not raining.

I was out on the kayak on Sunday from early in the morning until early evening. I could have taken a fishing rod with me or alternatively snorkelling or diving gear. If a bit of surf comes up I've got the "sponge" for that. 8)

Winter has finally hit us, cold winds off the mountains, school holidays, so many skiing, not far from here. 124mls of much needed rain over the weekend, so we're happy too.

I have a 7mm semi dry for diving which I generally over-heat in summertime so more often wear me 3mm. Just wondered if 'frezing' was a new cool Ozzie dudes word??

It's been cold with snow in many sea level places over the last few says, The Brighton [Melbourne] ice bergs still went for a dip and I bet the water was warmer than the land temperature. Still cold, but the sunshine, almost alway sunshine, makes us all feel good. I really feel I'd have trouble living in Cornwall during the winter, been away too long to deal with the fog and gloom.

The diving in Sydney is great, but some people have said Cornwall is just as good.... ? Went for a wave yesterday it felt more like 13deg, mind you I think thats cos I had a bad day spent more time under the water than on!!
