So, the beach. Let\u2019s think of some songs and quotes about that for a moment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside\/Oh I do like to be beside the sea – That Beach Song<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steppin\u2019 on the beach do do do dooo\/Steppin\u2019 on the beach droo doo do dooo – SpongeBob<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you into that beach mood now? Beach body ready and all that shiz? Sun\u2019s out guns out etc? Well, ready or not, uh, here\u2019s some deets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Journey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, it\u2019s great to play at the beach, but you gotta get there first. You gotta travel. This time, the car was used. And a satnav. A really dodgy satnav. We could\u2019ve got there a good 30 minutes earlier, but no, the satnav had to be an ass. But yeah, we got there in the end, My own sense of direction ain\u2019t exactly great either. Things worked out in the end, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Destination reached. Mission achieved. Now, food. Homemade sandwiches, crisps, a cheese and onion roll, veggie sausages and veggie scotch eggs. Nice. Now, a short break for the good stuff to go down before the big event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gotta agree with Dory on this one. I did indeed just keep swimming. For two hours, no less. And none of that weenie wetsuit stuff, I\u2019ll have you know. Just the standard swimming outfit. And hat. You don\u2019t want that head to get burned in the hot weather, especially if it\u2019s got no hair on it, like, uh\u2026mine. WOOO. Anyway, no significant sunburn received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rain \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, the last bit of the trip put a bit of a damper on things, as things got slightly wet. Or, damp, one might say. We managed to pick up an ice cream in time, but no fish and chips like we planned (no matter, we got a fish and chip takeaway at home. All good). And my feet got a bit wrecked as they got cut on stones. Nevermind, as Leonard Cohen might say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Journey Back<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slightly smoother than the journey there, despite the rain. Music listened to on headphones, plus an amusing Adam Buxton podcast with Joe Lycett. Cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
