Twenty eight degrees, little wind with clear-ish skies was the perfect excuse today head down to Cottesloe beach, wander around, get some gelato, and, well, just relax. Not quite as pristine or as secluded as some beaches in Southeast Asia, but pleasant enough.

Making each video interesting is pretty tough (mine are obviously quite pedestrian), particularly when you don't lead a very exciting existence. I'm quite looking forward to returning to Asia and stretching the legs, as it were. It could be argued however, if you can't make interesting videos in one place, another isn't going to be any different. But I guess if you're enjoying the process, who really cares - doing it for yourself should be reward enough.

It could, and I might suggest that would be wrong. It may simply be that where you are now is so familiar and comfortable, that what you see everyday is not nearly as interesting to you as you might wish.

Maybe you're right, FD. It's all a bit predictable and sterile to me here and I think it has to be the same for anyone else who watches it, which may not be the case, I guess.

Cheers.

Reminds me of what a friend said when I moved to Cambodia: Take lots of photos before you forget what's interesting. So easy to get accustomed to your surroundings. See a moto with a fridge on the back and you think nothing of it after a few months.

Next time you decide on a day at the beach, can you give Swanbourne a go.
If there's nothing but beached whales, turn around and head back to Cottesloe.

I'm not sure there's much more than overweight sixty somethings skulking around in the sand dunes at Swanbourne these days. I guess one should make a reconnaissance visit to confirm.
