after the rain

Now back to planet summer seaside holiday. Well the sea is still a weird brownish colour and around the waterline there is still a bit of the sticky yellowish foam that has made the beach look so scummy and dishevelled after the storms. But apart from that. 
Kids running up and down the back stairs to the beach, beach towels flung over the railing, sandy boogie boards and wet swimmers and wet footprints. I swam in the sea this morning for the first time all week. This arvo D & I sat on the sand between the flags while F & friend  frolicked endlessly in the water. Three lots of people we knew  came by, all happy to be out of doors again.  We sat there in the late afternoon light chatting and drawing patterns in the sand.
