The surf's picked up this week, sure, but so has the wind…the charts are showing the biggest low for a long long time, poised to smack into us any time now. I want to go home and surf some of those secret sheltered spots, but I'm going to have to be content with a searching mission in Cornwall. Went for a little surf lunchtime at Whoopsies on Wednesday but it was rubbish and I was rubbish - one left! Oh well…

People Envy Your Compassion

You have a kind heart and an unusual empathy for all living creatures. You tend to absorb others' happiness and pain. People envy your compassion, and more importantly, the connections it helps you build. And compassionate as you are, you feel for them.

What Do People Envy About You?

I Surf, I Fly

This sticker is to point out to the US government how many surfers (and Surfrider Foundation supporters) are voters. Strikes me we should have an I Surf, I Fly one and start sticking it in airports - on BA checkin desks, for instance. Bonus points for getting on the side of a plane, or a baggage handler's truck.

Check out Bent Objects

I don't want to nick his photo but tis really cool. In a weird way.

Sheep Poo Paper

Paper made from sheep poop! Love it! A really good environmentally sound idea executed in a super-cute way! Can you tell there's no surf? I'm getting really random.

Panties For Peace

Female activists are sending their knickers to Burmese embassies because 'Superstitious junta members believe that any contact with female undergarments - clean or dirty - will sap them of their power'

It's called 'Panties for Peace'. The website of the same name doesn't seem to work, but I think it's a damn good idea. The sight of my buttslings would rob anyone of their power. Especially if I'd been wearing them under my wetsuit, as sometimes happens when I forget my bikini.

Mwahaha.

Save the Dolphins

I'm sorry, I know this is a hideous picture. I can't look at the sites for long as I get too upset so I won't tell you I'm the most informed protester but it's so wrong. Please join Rasta's petition and check out Save Japan Dolphins

Nice little surf at Fistral, but wish had gone in this morning when it was 3ft. Need proper waves, and lots of them, if am to be ready to surf reef. Still happy as in my 3/2 and loving the quad.

Am doing NaNoWriMo again, so probably won't be posting a lot. If I am, I'm procrastinating. The book is about surfing - surprise!
