Sydney......
So I have settled in Cronulla for a while, renting a friends flat while she is in Bali. So far so good, now all I need is some good surf.
I have landed a job as part of the functions and waitstaff in a motor boat club, and also another one in a restaurant, which starts next week. A much appreciated change from the dirty ditch dwelling I have been doing.
Where I used to live in Sooke BC, the local pub had a sign up for weeks that said "BUY A BEER WIN A CHAINSAW!".....
Cronulla is very different from Sooke, there are many well dressed young parents, pregnant and pushing baby strollers. I admit I feel a little out of place in my dorky bike helmet, wearing big wool socks on my hands while riding my bike at night. But all in all it's a nice urban seaside town. And there is work to be found for those who seek it out, and hopefully surf.
I have taken up Tae kwon Do again, after a 9 year hiatus. The school is great, I appreciate their philosophy about martial arts and training, and the instructor and students have been very welcoming. TKD is a passion I had forgot about over the past years and I am finding it rewarding already, and I think it is a good supplement to my surfing.
Down the stairs......
....and out the back door....
...down the path...
..to the water.
