It’s depressing reading rec.windsurfing at this time of year. Sat in a neon-lit office, in freezing cold England, in December, knowing that in Hawaii and Australia and Egypt and similar, they’re all enjoying perfect sunny, windy windsurfing conditions. There was a programme on the other week about brits who’d moved to Australia to try and start a new life over there; it nearly made me cry – surfing is part of the Australian national curriculum, and every day after work, the residents of coastal cities head down to the beach for a couple of hours before going home. That, to me, sounds like the Best Thing Ever. Or at least it does, right now, as I sit and watch the clock tick slowly towards hometime and long for the weather to pick up a bit so that £500 lump of fibreglass sat in the garage can finally get some use…

On the plus side, I’m going to see Return of the King tonight, so huzzah for that, at least.
