Wind Surfing
Our town has two beaches - north and south beach. This is the north beach and is very popular with wind surfers. When it is windy - it is quite often windy here - the wind surfers come in there droves. There were only a few here the other day and I decided I wanted to take some piccies. Now, I know these aren't very good pictures - and these were the best ones (oh dear). I'm too far away but it gives you some idea of what it is like.
They go at some speed through the water, it looks very exhilarating - not that I fancy it. In fact there was a boy just the other week who broke his leg quite badly doing this.
Talking of water and the like, we had a leaking pipe in the bathroom - you know the room we are doing up. Well, in fact there were 3 leaking pipes. I was just about to go to work on tuesday morning when I noticed the kitchen floor was very wet and then I noticed the drips from the ceiling. Yeah you guessed it - from the bathroom above. I'm afraid to say I panicked a wee bit when I checked the bathroom, under the floor boards the floor was soaking, very wet, a big puddle, you get the picture. A quick phone call to hubby at work and a few sweary words later - sorry mum! - we got the water turned off.
Or so I thought, when I came home from work water was leaking from the light in the kitchen aaaargh. I drained the tanks and that seemed to do it. The only trouble being we had no water in the house, and we couldn't flush the toilet. So we had many trips to mum and dad's to use their toilet but we managed. Dan came home from work and fixed it. So that was the excitment in our house on tuesday. Have I said lately that I wish the bathroom was finished - cause I really do.

Wind surfing looks like fun, but much too dangerous for me to try.
I'm going to try posting a anonymou this time since blogger won't let me post on your page otherwise.

I love your photos. Very pretty once I enlarged them. :)
I read this as
"I wee'd a bit when I saw the bathroom !!!!!!
Your photos are lovely and I hope that you get your bathroom fixed soon Ellie!
