Here,’ she said, so beautiful, so serene, ‘just above the elbow, it won’t do much more than sting, but just for a little while.’
‘How long?’
A moment passed. Her perfume lingered.
Then she moved to the next man.
Whose unravelling dreamscapes could not have possibly been as beautiful as mine, if only I could remember them.

purely ‘old’ byron _ a new cosmetic line.
It has been sadly noted that Elsa Pataky's (pic) Purely Byron venture into the cosmetic market has failed and the administrators have been asked to attend to the ruins.

Hampus Naeselius doesn’t surf
Hampus Naeselius is a Swedish composer living on the island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean where he creates music for film and visual media. His music has been featured in both licensing, TV spots, trailers, advertising and films.
Born in Stockholm music was part of growing up. Pink Floyd and more specifically the song ‘Sorrow’ became the start of creating his own music. Hampus music embodies classical tradition with sweeping spaces of rhythm and sound. IMDb Mini Biography
Hampus doesn’t surf. But what he has done, unknowingly, is put down what is a perfect three minute track for a massive session at Jaws a couple of days after the Eddie finished. Seriously, some of the track overlays are so precise with the vision it was like they were meant for each other.
So turn it up to full bore .. show your neighbours no mercy.
Well, here we are … 2022 done, 2023 tomorrow.
1,031 posts done since 2010, many of them lifted from Realsurf, more from Kurungabaa, five books produced despite the language and brutal subjects. Readers come and go. Times change. Surfers aged twenty in ‘64 approach 79 in ‘23.
Old friends in the earth, old places overcome, gravel roads now highways and everybody surfs.
But it’s all good because riding a wave is about the best thing a man or woman can do.
Happy New Year, and always pray for surf.
