Ballina going Bad

We have a Real Estate agency in a prime position on River Street who overnight has mysteriously vacated their premises, put up a For Lease sign by LJ Hooker and despite multiple attempts online by yours truly, has been unable to find anything other than Wal Murray Real Estate is still open and operating.

I smell a rat.

Apologies for those who may come here for something a little more entertaining, but Ballina isn’t big on groundbreaking news … so this might have to do.

A little bit of what you love ..

So what’s a bloke to do when the wind is tediously onshore for yet another day – here he is, awake again well before dawn as usual with nothing but time on his hands and the lovely little lady slumbering peacefully just a foot away ~ and being a fair dinkum red-blooded kind of fella there’s really only one thing that will ever be a substitute for the dawny – A spot of early morning sax ~ A little Wayne Shorter down low and easy ~ just the ticket.

A link to the past

If you have a closer look at the bench against the club wall here you might think it’s the same one where one of the greatest surfers of the longboard era sat and sunned himself over sixty years ago. He’s long gone now and rarely remembered but for a few of us who were youngsters when this bloke was in his prime and are now pushing eighty.

Age creeps, then rushes.
