motivation on a friday

i woke up early yesterday to test the lock of my apartment, buy wine as a dinner gift and pick up the dog. i think i crashed pretty soon after returning home, and i got up again sometime around 4pm.

what a bummer that in all that time i hadn't checked email! i'd been invited to a private screening of paranorman at the cinemateque, which started about ten minutes before i'd turned on my pc :(

oh, well, i guess the world made up for it by hinting at there being waves - pg's brother and friend and i took our boards back to the beach for some actively meditative waiting in the water and then some frisbee with pg just after the incredible sunset.

we weren't sure that our host would remember my dietary requirements so i ate a modest pre-dinner meal after showering. she had remembered, even if only at the last minute, and my precaution made it slightly tougher for me than everyone else to cope with the mounds of food that accompanied the generous flow of alcohol and conversation.

the three of us who'd been surfing were all in sync - that glorious point of physical exhaustion where if you sit back in your chair you're far too comfortable to make the effort to sit forward again :)

after a great day and a lovely evening, i bailed on the pub afterwards and hit the hay, dreaming long dreams and getting up now to contemplate whether being productive today is on the cards.
