Well, another (full) year since my birth has ticked over today. I'd probably classify myself as mid twenties now. Boy, am I getting old :)

So far today I've done two of my favourite things - going to the beach and going orienteering. I got up at my usual time (6.30) and I was in the water at Kings beach (Caloundra - Sunshine Coast) at around 9.00. The water - was (initially) on the cool side - but fine once you were moving. The waves were pretty small, but catchable. There were some bigger dumpers as well: a few those tossed me around a bit when the wave bucked up over a sand bar... You only live once. Because of the light conditions you could stay out in a good position without using up too much energy (ie: enjoyable, not like last week).

After getting home, showeing the sand off, and talking to my little sister, I went out to orienteering. It was at Bank Street Reserve - near (in?) Alderley (pretty close - short drive). It's a very small area - about 600 m x 800 m (or so). The Red 3 course (difficult, longest) was just 3.2 km(!). However this was probably a good thing - as I didn't have as much energy as usual due to the trip to the beach.

For the rest of today - probably sleep this afternoon, plus a few jobs - hope to go out to a Jazz thing tonight. Will see.
