missing the beach

Sometimes everything is bright and fun and hunky-dory and we do what we are all supposed to do which is enjoy life.

At other times it's just so frightfully boring.

We've been in a bit of a family funk.

Not the kids, who are happy to stay home doing absolutely nothing. But us.

KK with his terrifying annual attempt at an examination which makes the family blue, and I with another horrendous book about industrial gibberish which is all very deadening.

So it's just lots of staying home, lying on the bed, working at the computer, moping, going to all the usual places and back home again. 

I cannot take it and demand that we go to the beach for dinner so at least we can all talk a walk.

I need to.

It at least inspires me to take out the camera again. Even if it's for all of 30 minutes before it pours.

Rain coming in. Such a structurally matching cloud.

Day in a big plastic sphere on water. $6 for five minutes. I think we're really bored.

hey we get into those family funks all the time. usually its the mom who initiates change. if left to the hubs, we'd be eating/going to the same places every single week. he loves repetition, and i can't stand it!
