Surf goes flat, what do you do?

1) Read:  This flat spell has helped me finish two books the gripping Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie  and the excellent book Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts which is being made in to a film at some point.

2) Drink: I also got talked into a few beers in the afternoon sun followed by an extreme drive up the mountains in the back of a van to the local 'poncha bar' which was in the middle of nowhere and wedged. The captain was on form and after 2 many ponchas we headed home. I woke up this morning with the bear from Shantaram  dancing in my head.

3) Live in hope: The sacrifice for surf today failed but having checked the charts again looks like we are in for a good sized swell Tuesday arvo and all day Weds. Wales will win in Ireland and England will beat my grandad's team also.

4) Plan:  Ok it is flat again let's have a look at prices of flights and surf conditions for somewhere new around Easter time. Jet ski for tow surfing this place how do I get it here and can we store it in a garage. Which pub and city shall I watch the rugby in on Saturday.

5) Recover:    Visit Joes bar for a steak sandwich and bottle of coke, stumble back to Maktub and eat some ice cream, feel sick go back to bed as it is still flat. Tomorrow is another day in paradise, make a mental note to check with the oracle what time the surf will be here 2morrow, good night.
