Already lloking forward to the Waitangi Day Pub Crawl, this may be a quick blog entry (o:
Today was anther of no particular plans. Maybe a museum?
It began with a walk, finally, to the Brighton Pier. why the bother? Not sure really. It would be cool with some mates maybe or if you're 10 again. It's got it's own rainbow's end like theme park, a casino, food outlets for africa and then right at its end is a pretty good view over the ocean.
Next I wandered, for like 2 hrs, down to the the White cliffs of Dover. yeah, ok. So they were the white cliffs of Brighton but they're waaaay higher than Dover's so I reckon way cooler. Sure no wars were fought over them but...
On the way back I played fetch with dog and have decided I HAVE to have a dog when I grow up.
Oh and I read a book in the sun at the cliffs and may even have managed to get a slightly reddish tinge to my face this arvo. maybe I'll be a tad off pasty by tomorrow?
Then, with a picture perfect sunset following me home, I headed back to the West Pier to watch the swarms of starlings which are known to congregate there each evening. There were literally thousands of the wee suckers. Like schools of fish in the sky, they performed manoeuvres that would leave our best fighter pilots, obviously not NZ's seeing as we no longer have an airforce, but America's anyway, spitting with envy. Awesome.
Then it was home for a quick Thai dinner, spot of telly and a shave. Ah, the hard life (o:
No wait! One more thing. Whilst walking home, taking the stony beach front rather than the paved promenade, I came face to face with a guy walking up the beach starkers! "Floomin heck" I thought, supressing a shudder. It must be like 2 degrees out, even with the sun. Then I notice up the beach a couple going full commando as well. "Do all Pommes go swimmin at the beach nudders then"? Walking on another 100m, eyes fixed firmly forwards, i came across a sign stating 'You are now leaving the naturist beach. Please reclothe to avoid offending other beach goers and personal prosecution'. Seems I had been wandering along a nudist beach! Hahahaaa
