Little Birds

Late afternoon these little miniature Seagulls appear on the beach. They are super cute and dash about by the waves looking for food. All the birds come to the shore as that's when the food comes close. It makes sense to me that any Sharks would come in around this time also but people seem very complacent about that. Ryan says they have Bull Sharks off the Miami coast and although its unlikely that they would come right up to the shore its not impossible. Talking of Sharks the university have messed up my pay check yet again. I can't even get annoyed as 1. they always do it, 2. they will have to pay as its their fault and 3. I am lying on the beach and I can't force myself to get annoyed at their bog standard incompetence.

You Will Know Peace

When I heard that line in the AA Promises I interpreted it to mean 'you will know boredom' which is what I was kind of worried about. In fact peace is the least boring of all the experiences I have had.

Sitting By The Edge Of The Bay

I walked by the bay this evening, it's very pretty down there. Miami Beach is a man made peninsula that sits between Biscayne Bay & The Atlantic Ocean. It is attached to the main land by causeways. South Beach is the 25 Streets that make up the Southern Point of Miami Beach. There are man made islands in the bay that are inhabited by  extremely wealthy people who enjoy the privacy of tourist boats sailing past the bottom of their garden, where they tie up their yachts, on the hour with guides yelling through megaphones. 'This home belongs to Rosie O'Donnell and this villa here is where Scarface was filmed.'

Remember When You Were Young?

Pink Floyd reminds me of my misspent youth life (not something I want to bring up at passport control) but it takes me back to lying on my friend’s floor having been awake for 48 hours straight. We used to play The Dark Side Of The Moon, The yellow Leonard Cohen greatest hits album, Led Zeppelin, Stairway To Heaven & Sunday Morning by The Velvet Underground. I attribute the gentle melancholia and closet optimism of our Sunday dawn playlist to the overall survival of my mental health, what I mean without it things could have been so much worse. 

Heap Big Exaggeration

I am obsessed with this Indian River grapefruit juice. It is delicious but also I love the label which promises that you can loose 19lbs in 13 weeks. Genius but I have just 2 weeks to loose 10lb so its not much good to me. Here is a link to the online diet site associated with the product http://www.indianriverjuice.com/skinny.aspx I love that it says 'skinny asp' (asap) it has a real fingers down throat urgency to it! One thing about Richard not coming till next week is that he doesn't have to see how bloated and pale I have become.
