| BEACH BUOY AND THE DOGS ARRIVED ON THE BEACH AROUND 7-27 pm AN OLD COUPLE WITH ARMS LINKED HAD JUST ARRIVED AT THE SOUTH END OF THE PROMENADE, THEY SAT DOWN ON A BENCH AND THE SEA DISAPPEARED FROM THEIR VIEW; HIDDEN BY THE SUBSTANTIAL PROMENADE WALL. THREE PEOPLE CAME UP THE RAMP FROM THE BEACH WITH A LARGE BROWN DOG; THEY SHOEHORNED THEMSELVES INTO A SMALL CAR AND DROVE OFF. |
 |
| THE TIDE WAS WELL OUT. THERE WAS A STRONG FRESH BREEZE FROM THE NORTH. BEACH BUOY AND TWO DOGS HEADED FOR THE SEAWEED LADEN STRAND LINE. HE FOUND A BALLOON . |
 |
| HE CARRIED ON SOUTH. HE FOUND A BALLOON. |
 |
| STILL HEADING SOUTH. BEACH BUOY LOOKED TO THE WATER'S EDGE. HE SAW THREE FIGURES ; ONE OF THEM MALE. THEY HAD A BLACK DOG. THE MALE WAS THROWING STONES/ SMALL ROCKS INTO THE SEA. THE DOG WASN'T INTERESTED. HIS COMPANIONS MADE OUT THEY WERE. BEACH BUOY THOUGHT TO HIMSELF.. "SHOULD HAVE COME LAST NIGHT MATE AND TRIED YOUR LUCK IN THE FOG OLYMPICS." BEACH BUOY PICKED UP ANOTHER BALLOON. |
 |
| IT WAS REALLY FRESH AND BEACH BUOY WAS GLAD OF TWO HOODS UP. A GROUP OF LARGE SEAGULLS TURNED FROM FACING THE WIND, TO WATCH A LARGE BLACK BIRD WALK NEARBY LIKE A CLOCKWORK TOY. THE BLACK BIRD KEPT DOING A WHISTLE LIKE A BUILDER ON A BUILDING SITE TRYING TO GET HIS MATES ATTENTION. |
 |
| BEACH BUOY PICKED UP ANOTHER BALLOON. |
 |
| COMING TO THE END OF THE SOUTH WALK, BEACH BUOY PICKED UP ANOTHER BALLOON, THE RIBBON WAS ALMOST A METRE LONG. |
 |
| AFTER DAYS OF MIST AND FOG, THE SUN MADE A VAIN ATTEMPT TO SHOW BUT ENDED UP LOOKING MORE LIKE THE MOON. AT THE SUN'S PALE APPEARANCE A SKYLARK BURST INTO SONG. AS IF TO SAY " IT AIN'T MUCH BUT I'M HAVING IT." |
 |
| BEACH BOUY WAS WALKING A DIFFERENT LINE BACK SO... HE FOUND AND PICKED UP ANOTHER BALLOON. |
 |
| AND ANOTHER... AS THE WALK WAS ENDING A WOMAN, MAN AND DOG ARRIVED. THE MAN WAS EATING FISH AND CHIPS FROM A MASS OF PAPER THAT HE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT FROM THE BREEZE AS HE WALKED. THE WOMAN WAS THROWING THE DOG A BALL. THE DOG KEPT RETURNING IT TO THE MAN, MAYBE EXPECTING A CHIP TREAT. THE ONLY CHIP HE GOT WAS WHEN THE HUNGRY LOOKING MAN; WITH A FOOTBALLER'S TOUCH WOULD CAREFULLY KICK THE BALL BACK TO THE WOMAN. |
 |
| BEACH BUOY HEADED BACK. HE WASHED AND PHOTOGRAPHED RECENT FINDS. BEACH BUOY. |
